Easier and more flexible than even most Windows based Gerber viewers!
I've used many gerber viewers and do a lot of EDA design in general. This app is truly a lifesaver for the PC world Engineers like me. The UI really makes sense, and brings all the tools and functionality you'd expect to have. Even opens ODB files which is handy for some DFM's. Seems to be kept up to date consistently as well! Keep up the great work!
The developer deployed bug fix promptly
Overall, the app provides a wonderful user experience. I had an issue with the rendering of a complicated gerber. The developer promptply acknowledged my bug report and published a new version of the app that fixed the bug the next day.
1.7.11 problems
The 1.7.11 version will not open overlay files (types *.gbo and *.gto). Prior version seemed to work fine. **Update** Ver 1.7.12 has resolved this issue.
Superb
I needed to wiew a rather large multi-layer gerber and this program handled it perfectly.
