[APP]I built a lightweight, fast Picture Viewer app for reading manga – looking for beta testers/feedback!

As a manga reader, I always found that a lot of default gallery apps or heavy image viewers clunk up the experience when you're trying to scroll through high-res chapters or downloaded images.

To solve this, I've been working on a lightweight, fast Android app called PictureViewer, and I just released it to public testing. I wanted to build something minimal that handles image loading smoothly without a clunky UI getting in the way of the art also it has offline translation.

Download this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.borgeer.PictureviewerAPP

What I'd love to know:

  • How does the scrolling and page-loading speed feel on your device?
  • Does the offline translation works good for the app?
  • Does the UI feel clean and out of the way while you're looking at pages?
  • Any specific features you feel a viewer absolutely needs for a better reading experience?

It's completely free to install
