Phoenix Viewer

All my articles on the Phoenix Viewer are in this section.

The Phoenix Viewer is the descendant of the GreenLife Emerald Viewer. In late 2010 scandal broke and trust in the Emerald Viewer was lost. Some members of the Phoenix team went on to create the Emergence and Phoenix viewers. The Phoenix Viewer has essentially replaced the Emerald viewer.
