PLEASE add flip, rotate and scaling (course/fine increments) icons to the tool bar and I'll GLADLY $upport this fine app! Nice job so far.

Goldberg X ReviewGoldberg is a great image viewer and I don't see what the name has to do with judging this app! - Version: 2.5.1, 1/12/2008 08:05PM PST

This is without exception a great image viewer that I have used for years. It is just too bad that the name "boils in some unfortunate individual's gut." It is a sad world indeed when we judge an application's usefulness by its name.

I thought this was an image viewer like all the other where you can browse through a folder, I guess not.
That's one let down. So I trashed it using AppZapper, then decided to try again.
It does do a few tricks on a single photo that you want to work with.

I gotta tell ya, I REALLY hate the name. Just for that reason alone no matter how good the app is, that just blows it for me. Maybe there is a way to change that.

The name burns in my gut like a hot iron.
