I nearly emailed you with just about the same feedback about how the app opens and one's surprised by being in the gallery. I get your point about wanting users to start right away. And now that I am used to your app, I am glad how quickly I get to the photos. Perhaps even a quick toast at least could say : pick a photo to start?

I like this suggestion. I added this toast and you should see it in the next release (probably tomorrow). Thanks for your feedback :)
> This opens up directly to recent images, this is somewhat unintuitive and jarring
The reason I did this was because I wanted the users to be able to start annotating images as quickly as possible. I do see value in having some kind of walkthrough/on-boarding the first time they open the app to explain this behavior. Thanks for pointing this out.
> I'd suggest making the free version of the app allow you to experiment with this feature
I solved this problem by letting you use all the pro features in the upgrade popup. Here is an example - https://imgur.com/a/Kmxjm4d
