Description

When you try to zoom-in top right, for instance, it doesn't zoom in top right, it zooms in more in the middle, not precise at all. This library doesn't even achieve the simple pinch the zoom gesture and hence it is useless. I have no idea why this library has 17k stars, because it just doesn't work well. Google's photo library app doesn't have this defect. iOS zooming (Apple has done the work for us unlike Android) doesn't have this defect. When I implemented zooming for a View in Android, it didn't have that defect. I guess I will have to implement my own solution instead of using this library.

I think it should be the top priority of this repo to fix the zooming to work naturally just like Google's built in Photos app or iOS apps. When you zoom in top left, it should zoom in top left where you are zooming, not in the center.
