Would be nice to have some basic filters, e.g. restrict based on sender/recipient. It hasn't finished searching my mail yet, but if it turns out it names the photos based on the recipient etc. then I can just filter them myself...
Also, the app doesn't have retina buttons. For most things this would be okay, but even the close/minimise/zoom window controls are pixelated! It's a shame to have a photo-centric app look so poorly, especially when default controls would have fixed that. Edit: Also, the zoom doesn't do anything! But it's not greyed out, so suggests that it does. I actually like the interface, and have nothing against skeuomorphism per se, but it's not cool when it breaks things...
Finally, a comment on heuristics: it was really cool to see the restrictions on small file size images and gifs, because that removes a load of emoticons, advertising etc. that otherwise would've added clutter. But additional heuristics would be nice, e.g. it's found some images that are not photos for me. I imagine a simple test would be just counting the number of unique colours present in the image (though I don't know how slow that would be): a lot of the images coming up that aren't photos often have a few dozen colours max.
Otherwise very happy to have bought it :) Certainly saves me time doing it all myself by manually syncing everything with some mail client and then searching the attachments folder...
Edit: It's only free for the first 100 photos.
