About Peek-a-View
Peek-a-View is a read-only photo gallery. Using Peek-a-View, you can always feel safe sharing your photos with anyone, because there is literally no way to have Peek-a-View delete your photos. In fact, Peek-a-View does not write ANY data back to your photo library.
When paired with the Guided Access feature on iOS and iPadOS, you can lock your device into Peek-a-View, ensuring that the only thing that device can do is look at photos, until you decide otherwise.
By default, Peek-a-View will show your most recent photos in your photo gallery, but it can be configured to only show a specific album. Furthermore, access to Peek-a-View's settings is automatically restricted when Guided Access is started.
Peek-a-View will show you your 20 most recent photos for free; a one-time in-app purchase will remove that limitation.
Peek-a-View fully supports Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, Live Photos, videos, and animated GIFs. With purchase, it also supports several alternative icons.
Born from a trip to an amusement park with a very independent toddler, Peek-a-View was written so that my wife and I can give our phones to our precocious two-year-old and know that she won't accidentally delete any of our precious memories.
Without Peek-a-View, we'd have to hope that she didn't figure out how to delete anything, or spend time fiddling with the Guided Access settings to block out the delete features on the Photos app.
With Peek-a-View, we can simply open the app, start Guided Access, and hand her the phone. No deletion, no modifications, no worries.

Just what I needed!!!
This app allows me to hand my chosen phone to a stranger, so they can see photos while holding my phone. You might think of that as an odd thing to do, but I live in a unique place, and at gatherings, people want to see pictures. I want to share SOME photos, and I don’t feel like sitting next to someone and holding my phone is necessary, or I wouldn’t be sharing in the first place, but it’s easy to end up in the wrong place with a fat thumb. I have even chosen the wrong album to share. I only want to share specific photos, and this app solves the problem. I set up Guided Access to further manage it, too. What a help that is! Guided Access alone in iPhones doesn’t protect photos, nor does it keep a person out of other albums. This app does. I’d give it more stars, if I could!!!

Pinch to zoom is broken
You can pinch to zoom but you can’t choose where it zooms, neither can you pan once zoomed. It always zooms into the left side of the photo. So unless you happen to want to zoom into that part of the photo you will feel frustrated. If this is fixed I will update my review and actually I would strongly consider purchasing the app.
