Type of view controller to show just an image list

I want to create a very simple iOS app that displays thumbnails. I want the images to be as big as the ones Instagram uses. Something like the Blog Reader, but no title, no author, just a large thumbnail that takes the full width of the iphone. Would I use a UITableViewController for this or something else? Thanks!

You need to use Collection Views which are similar to Table Views except they allow you to create different layouts and custom cells.
