Default Input/opinion on this...

As I'm sure a lot of you have seen on Steve's feature page, I'm trying out a new app for image viewing which works like a magazine where you can drag pages back and forth.

I'm interested in opinions on it before I invest more time in it. Is it tedious and cheesy or is it interesting from the interaction standpoint?

I can add text to any of the pages, just like a real magazine, but I chose not to do that with Steve's feature as the photography was way to nice to have text go over the top of it.

What are your thoughts on the magazine style image viewing?

I thought it was pretty slick the first few times I did it, but I think it may get tedious or require a little more effort. I noticed that it's fairly intuitive as long as you drag laterally and not diagonally. I ran out of room to drag the first time, don't ask me why.

I wonder if having a button to click and the page turns automatically would be better. Sorry to create extra work Scott. Great looking page though!

I like it except you cannot "right click and save as" the pics. That's the only thing I'd change.

It does that already Ben. Just single or double-click on the upper right-hand corner of the pic and it'll turn the page itself.

If you just double-click the corner the page flips automatically... so it's already upgraded. lol
