With the Viewbook iPad Portfolio App, your iPad becomes your true digital mobile portfolio. It allows you to sync, display and organize the work you already have in Viewbook into multiple portfolios on your iPad. Allowing you to show your work everywhere, even without an internet connection.
In the design of the app we wanted to keep a portfolio feel across all the screens and functions. We did not want to use the standard Apple interfaces, where possible, and wanted to create our own visual language. Keeping the interface as intuitive and simple as possible was a real challenge.
The focus throughout the development of this app has been practicality and keeping the initial feature set at a minimum. This allowed us to concentrate on the interface and making what’s there really good. So this first version is really simple, but powerful at the same time. It basically allows you to do three things:
- Browse all your Viewbook Albums on your iPad
- Store Albums locally for offline use
- Organize local Albums into Portfolios
So now, on your iPad you can always browse all your Viewbook albums, or make selections of Albums for potential client presentations. It always starts with the screen you’ve left open, so you can decide what your client sees first. As with any first version of a new app, we’re very happy to hear your feedback!

My favorite feature is the download so I can keep the images offline. I’ve got the WiFi iPad, so this is perfect. Thank you!

Great! Congratulations to the viewbook team! That was the app I was looking forward to. And, like Jason, my iPad is also only WiFi, so being able to download the albums for offline viewing is a great feature! Thank you!

Thank You! Please make pro user able to upload there logo as the app icon. And let us hide the “All Albums” Tab so we don’t have to baby site the viewer.
Also the images look low rez. maybe you could had a uploaded that sizes image for the web and for the ipad separately.
On the right track tho thanks!

Thanks for the compliments! With the design of all of our tools, we always try to push the photography to the forefront and create the best possible viewing experience. It’s really rewarding to hear this works out well!

I agree with Harry, great app that already beats others i’ve tried but simple changes like hiding ‘all abums’ and being able to add my logo would make it even better.
Great first attempt though!
