This is still the best media browser out there. I use this as a portable application, there is no need to install this into your program files. You can simply point this app to your usb stick portable apps folder on install and it will work on any computer you take your usb stick to.
This beats InfranView and XNView hands down.
Considering the age of this application I am surprised it is not better known.
As for it being no longer updated or having further development, it does not need it. It is perfect as it is.

I've used SlowView for at least one year. Easy to understand and navigate. Fast and simple and lotsa fun. I'd say one of the BEST programs I've ever used. Perfect for people who don't want all those bells and whistles or an not computer savvy. Luv it; just plain luv SlowView! 10/29/2005

Very impressive. SLOWview it's not, easily as fast as XP's Picture and Fax viewer, with many more formats supported. Big bonus - this freeware tested clean on both AdAware and Spybot S/D! Very unusual these days - thanks for the courtesy of NOT including adware/spybots! Highly recommended - don't be afraid to try it because of other reviewers negative comments.

Folks, I'm not sure you're reviewing SlowView, but its name is apt: it's SLOW as a turtle! So if you're going to live to be 171, then you'll live just long enough to view your photos in SlowView. Skip this turkey and opt for a speed demon in CompuPIC, or at the least, ACDSee 6.03. And no, IrfanView isn't that good either, unless you're just so cheap that you love anything free, whether it's trash or not.

This program has progressively gotten better and better. At first, it would crash, but now, the speed surpasses ACDSee as far as loading (esp thumbnails). With a bit more work, it will be the end-all solution to those who need a file viewer and manipulator. Watch this product!

Thanks for this FREEWARE - so I can use it as a pupil, because we have not enough 'pocked-money'.
Thanks.

I've given this a 4 since it's not as good as it could be yet. For freeware this is an amazing piece of software and a true ACDSee-killer in diapers ;). I can't compare it to Irfanview as I don't have enough experience with that program, but I can compare it to ACDSee. SV opens and browses files much faster than ACDSee 5, but has less customization options for the browser itself and the shell integration. I find the extra tools on ACDSee bloat, although the HTML option is kind of useful for quick publication. Therefor I'm not sure whether or not I can replace ACDSee with SV yet, but for most users I'd say SV is way better than ACDSee and best of all: free! :)

A great free program. Major kudos to Nikolaus Brennig for making this.

SNYder reviewed v1.0 RC1 on Aug 25, 2002

YES! I love this program! I used to be an avid ACDSee lover for as long as I can remember, till ACDSEE went into bloats ville and gave me no choice but to switch to Irfanview. But, I was not really happy with Irfanview, so I had no choice but to switch over to using the old version of ACDSee, version 3.1 (the last good version IMHO). But now, SlowView comes along and saves the day! It gives me everything I loved about ACDSee 3.1 and nothing I don't! Plus it's freeware and it is constantly updated! What more could a man ask for? Although I'm not exactly all for the name "SlowView", it is otherwise the perfect image app for me. 3 cheers for SlowView! HIP HIP HORRAY! HIP HIP HORRAY! HIP HIP HORRAY!

Good program and good and frequent fixes. The author is hell-bent to make this a great image viewer, and is succeeding. I particurlarly like the 1 key escape (even from full screen view), the space bar toggling between pictures *and MOVIES, and the compact size. I do not like the thumbnail browser. It is redundant. All modern versions of Windows already have thumbnails in the Explorer. Sloview, ACDSee, or nobody else can make a browser as good as the Explorer, so the browse functions should be removed IMHO. Just a universal viewer is all that's needed! (bobad@charter.net)

this is like an ACDSee clone which I've used for years.
for a free viewer, it doesnt get any better then this!
