PROS: The customization options are very cleverly chosen. Filter selections with things such as file size. Scans as quickly as your device’s file-search function. Quickly group your images for a personal inspection.CONS: Cannot discriminate between slightly out of focus images. Ideal for finding images, but not for auto-deleting images. The “HDD Space Saved” function is an unneeded gimmick. Needs a larger high-definition viewer for professional photographs.
