Amazing app! Effectively a mobile equivalent for PureRef

It's a pretty good mobile alternative to PureRef. I like that you can import gif animations. One big feature it's still missing is an auto-arrange photos, which would be very useful if you're importing 20+ images. There's also no way to change playback speed on gifs to aid in study. I'll increase my rating when these features get added in.
