A media viewer is a web or mobile application that enables users to view videos and other forms of media. Media viewers typically include a search function and a method for rating and reviewing content.

Media viewer apps are similar to other image-focused consumer-facing apps like photo editing apps, art and design apps, or lifestyle apps. Two popular media viewers are Google Photos and Flickr.

A media viewer app needs to create an in-app experience that encourages users to come back every day. A media viewer app can do this by providing a curated selection of content, rather than relying on the user to provide their own content. Providing additional incentives (such as payment or prizes for sharing) will also help increase new user growth, and can also attract existing users who will be motivated to share more often.

Media sharing apps can face legal challenges related to copyright infringement, copyright protection measures, and the handling of sensitive personal information. Media viewer apps should not host or distribute media files. It is advisable to use a third-party API for hosting your media files.
