## Review summary

Illustail is a Danbooru-focused image viewer with multi-site support and cloud sync, praised for Danbooru search/viewing and Dropbox/Evernote integration, and for browsing social content. However, users report stability issues after Danbooru updates, crashing on M1 Macs and older iOS versions, loading problems with large folders, and a language barrier due to no English UI. Saving images can also be hampered by permissions. Overall a strong niche tool, but reliability and localization need work.

### Pros

- Strong Danbooru search/viewing capability; many reviewers call Illustail the best image site viewer for Danbooru.
- Dropbox (and Evernote) syncing integration, making it easy to save and sync images across services.
- Good for browsing social media image content (e.g., Tumblr, Twitter) and supports a variety of sites.
- Relatively wide selection of image sites to choose from.

### Cons

- Danbooru updates breaking loading or causing crashes (Danbooru-related issues after updates).
- Crashes on Apple Silicon Macs (M1) and on older iOS versions (e.g., iOS 6).
- Language barrier due to lack of an English UI/version (requests for an English version).
- Loading performance problems with large folders or many files (folders don’t fully load; searches load nothing).
- Saving to camera roll often blocked by permissions issues.
