PBase Viewer” for iPad and iPhone is out in Apple Appstore:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pbase-viewer/id507797401?ls=1&mt=8iPads and even iPhones are excellent portable devices to showcase PBase galleries. However, if you use a browser page to view pictures, there are usually other screen elements which take away precious space and distract from the picture. Moreover, on small screens tapping the next or previous buttons can be very fiddly.
To answer these questions, AppPear have created PBase Viewer, a dedicated gesture-driven full-screen app:
• The screen won’t have the distracting elements of browser programs (full-screen-browser view)
• Photos can be seen in native-full-frame mode: longer dimension of the picture (no frames) fills longer dimension of actual orientation. Orientation can be changed by turning. Unfilled parts are black
• Gesture navigation in both view modes
• Gesture navigation is done by swipes and taps on large tapping areas
• Download images by gesture
• Convenient help screen describes gestures and other functions (REACHED BY THE (
i) INFO BUTTON)
• Dedicated hideable toolbar takes to PBase.com or to your profile page and controls view mode
• Your PBase account can be given in settings. The program then will start up on your main PBase page
• Program can be started on main PBase.com page, or you can navigate there via the tool bar, giving you access to popular an PAD galleries, forum and search function
• Browse photos all over the PBase universe in the view mode of your liking
• Comment on, vote for or download (if allowed) your favorite images
Known issues:
Browsing forward or backwards will not work when cache is not available. That can occur on returning native-full-frame view to full-screen-browsing view, if navigation occurred in previous mode.
The app intently works only under the pbase.com domain. Either pbase.com or pbase.com/user must be given in the settings. In former the application starts with the pbase.com home page, in latter case with the user PBase main page.
Some areas of the full-screen-browsing page may be hidden from ordinary tapping by navigation tapping areas. This can occur with landscape image comments or voting. In such cases pinch zooming on the required link will move the link out of the hiding tapping area, and the link can be tapped.
