Goldberg X CommentaryNot a shred of documentation anywhere. Good thing it's free. - Version: 2.5.1, 2/2/2009 01:27AM PST

I'm sure this is a wonderful little app for its purposes (whatever those are). Though it's hard to say for sure without knowing what it does or how it works -- no manual, no Help, not even anything on its webpage. Well, maybe one day I'll find a use for it.

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.
