Simple iOS and tvOS apps that replicate the behavior of the Earth View Chrome extension. Since the standalone website (http://earthview.withgoogle.com) is no longer active this provides a nice way to still browse the images without the extension.

- When the app starts a random image will be selected. There are 2604 different images.
- Tapping on the right side of the screen advances to the next image. Tapping on the left side goes to previous image.
- Tapping on the Google Maps link in the Details overlay will open Google Maps to the image's location.
- Tapping on the Save Image icon will save the currently displayed image (in full-res) to your camera roll. This requires Camera Roll permissions.
