ImgurViewer

ImgurViewer is a little image viewer to open image links from external applications in the fastest way possible.As the name suggest it was originally designed to open Imgur image links, but the application evolved to support some other images services too, the current image services supported are:
Imgur: with full support ( galleries, albums, gif videos, simple image links ). Gif links will be opened as videos to save bandwidth and faster loading.

Gyazo: full image support.

Gfycat: full Gfycat videos. As Imgur, it will load videos instead of gifs when possible.

i.reddituploads.com support.

streamable.com support.

twitch clips support.

Instagram image, video, and simple profile image gallery support.

vid.me support.

flickr support.

GIPHY support.

Also ImgurViewer can open any link with a path with and image extension, so, it will try to handle any image link.

ImgurViewer as a standalone application doesn't do anything, so don't expect anything when opening the application. It must be used in conjunction with some other external application as a web browser, reddit is fun, newsblur. It's was done for my personal usage ( the developer ) and uploaded to the play store to share it with the world. I hope that someone find it useful too.

This application is open source and the source code can be found over: https://bitbucket.org/SpartanJ/imgurviewer

Works great. Does what it says on the Tin and then some. Only minor gripe is I can't modify the "supported links". This is more of an Android limitation than anything else, but I'd love to be able to blacklist some domains so they don't open in this automatically. My only other option is to have android ask me every time I open something, which wouldn't be a great user experience.

This is so well done that I often forget that it is a third party app opening image links for me. It seems to work great with Relay for Reddit, and it works with a surprising number of various image services... and some video services too! Installed it on a whim, and couldn't be happier with the outcome of said whim. Keep up the excellent work Mr ImgurViewer Dev!

Great app! It's been really handy as a companion to my usual Reddit app. One of my only complaints is that images with transparency don't show up well or at all if they're dark. It'd be great if there was a lighter or checkerboard background underneath the image.

Useful app but it really needs a disable toggle so that certain web pages don't force themselves (and fail) to open in this app. It's very annoying, and the only workaround is to clear defaults every time this issue occurs.

Great functionality and unmatched aesthetics. To the best of my knowledge, no other app does, within itself, what this viewer does so capably. If you're frustrated with what you're using, now, then what are you waiting for?

Snappy and reliable, but the navigation buttons' auto-hide is a really annoying; is there any way to disable it? Edit: Thanks so much for fixing that so quick! Pretty much 10/10 now, everything works flawlessly.

Edit: issue investigated and solved quickly after emailing support. Original review: Loved it so much I set it as my default to open most media files. I can't seem to get it to open media on my SD card however, is there a fix for this?

I keep getting "couldnt resolve video url" lately. I use it together with sync for reddit for redgifs and it just suddenly stop and gives me that error. Not sure what happened. Other than that it does what it needs to.

Does exactly what it says on the tin perfectly, with no performance issues, in fact it's faster than VLC. GIF, GIFV, MP4, WEBM, whatever, it does the job.

Tom. A. Sep 28, 2021     

Edit: The developer fixed the issue, so glad to be able to use this app for twitch clips again! I like the app but miss twitch clip support, has been broken for a few months now.

Eri. A. Jun 12, 2020     

Works flawlessly. Indispensable for reddit, and surprisingly works for Instagram links too. improvement I can think of is support for double tap to zoom on gifs or gyfcats. EDIT: The new update fixes redgif and old gyfcat link! Thank you to the devs for the response and update.

Awesome app that for my usage wants to do too much. I already have default viewers that work great for everything except imgur galleries, and due to android limitations I can't specify this viewer to work for imgur galleries from clicks within various clients without this viewer opening EVERYTHING. Please consider offering an app that is only compatible with imgur without also wanting to display gfycat, redgifs, ****hub, and the kitchen sink, since android won't let me pick and choose. Thanks.

When the media (say imgur image) is shared, it seems to download the pictures to the Pictures folder. It would be nice if it used a temporary cache folder for it without storing it permanently.

Baq. H. Jan 7, 2020     

It is a great app! Easy download option makes is very useful. You can even start download before the image/video is loaded.

Gab. W. Aug 24, 2020     

Works great one issue is that when I save let's say 5 images, when it is done downloading it just stays stuck on downloading. Galaxy s10+

Moh. G. Sep 27, 2020     

Nice app. Old review: Nice app. But add the option to choose URLs of which sites this app responds to. I am unable to view instagram profile of people because of this app.

Lea. Sep 5, 2021     

What I don't like about this app is it doesn't have confirmation when downloading images! It just does it automatically so I am getting suprised!

Nat. G. Nov 2, 2020     

Fantastic app to load video content not just from Imgur, but many other websites natively instead of in your browser.

Bri. Jul 18, 2021     

Exceptional. The imgur app, and website are all but unusable as a mobile user currently. This app solves it elgantly and is the least bloted app I have ever used.

Faz. M. Dec 16, 2018     

Works great as a viewer for multiple media sources, not just Imgur. Auto rotation bug fixed in 14 December update

1Sq. Mar 30, 2020     

Works well. Does what it says. No bloated garbage that nobody needs. Elegant design. Two thumbs up!

Bry. May 2, 2020     

Can't get it to automatically open when clicking links. The actual imgur app could. Any setting I need to adjust?

Kam. W. Jun 13, 2020     

Best 3rd party imgur app. Only think I think it can't do is upload but that's not its intended design.

Meg. L. W. Sep 27, 2020     

Faultless and very fast! Love it when opening albums.

Bra. C. Dec 19, 2019     

I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because IDK if they included that it has Dueling Nexus app and Dueling Book too as well also give me a answer for me by if they already have one updated one by now from either from the Year 2015-2019 from today if it shows up on the appstore here on Googleplay thanks again

M.A. B. May 2, 2021     

Great app. But it is giving "could not resolve video URL" ERROR. PLEASE FIX THIS

Aar. B. Oct 26, 2020     

Great app. The gesture make it fast and fluid to use with any other app.

Anm. T. Jun 9, 2020     

Please add video speed control. That'd be fantastic.

Was. J. Mar 8, 2020     

Best image and web video viewing app. Low profile, supports downloading webm and mp4s!

Gha. H. Apr 15, 2021     

I think it's great but for whatever reason, it doesn't show up as an option to open with.
