    Hi! I'm the dev of PicBrowser.

    PicBrowser is an utility to search for pictures in Google, Flickr and NASA JSC in Coverflow. Since version 2.0 I've added some features that I hope will please anyone who enjoys this layout.

    AppStore search, which can be done by screenshot or artwork
    Contacts in coverflow.
    Music - Your music (like the iPod app) but you can search by artist, genre or album within this layout.
    Photos in coverflow (ios version >= 4.0)

    Every "engine" has a contextual menu for its data. To bring it up you just have to hold your finger on the center thumb (or cover).

    Also, for bringing up the engine menu and the keyboard there're gestures explained in the app.

    App info is currently processing and/or the app is not yet fully available for sale on the US App Store.

    I think its a very clean looking app.

    Is there a way to see more images at once when you perform a search? I'm finding it a little cumbersome to swipe through the cover flow view one at a time.

    I like your idea of swiping to access the menus.

    Thank you sir!

    Nop, not currently... the idea behind this app (since its origin back in 2008) was to manage everything in coverflow... but now that you mention I should layout the images in a different way (like the photos app for instance)...

    I'm going to think about that and propose different layout options...

    Thank you again for your feedback...

    Well, I've detected that only 3 promocodes have been used... so there're 7 promos available in case anyone wants the app for free...

    :confused:

    PicBrowser 2 Music Features

    First of all, thanks for trying out the app!!! You're so cool!

    One of the features that PicBrowser 2 introduced within the app was the ability to become a Music Player too, so I made a vid showing this feature. The vid is in full hd should any want to check it out.

    PicBrowser 2.0.2 is waiting for review...

    and it has some new features... one of them was optimizing the code for a smoother coverflow animation ... I want to share the result in here:

    I had some feedback in here for version 2.0... and I added a new layout, a curved wall...

    PicBrowser-Web - Coverflow in the web

    Hi guys!!!!

    I made the following... migrated the coverflow implementation to webkit....

    Right now there's an example in the picbrowsers page http://www.picbrowser.com.mx
    with some screenshots of the app (including screenshots from the new version)... I'm working right now to make it work correctly in iOS, but it works for google chrome and safari (though in safari the animation is not as smooth)...

    In the future I'm going to update this page so you can access some of the functionality of PicBrowser from a WebBrowser...
