1. An image display apparatus comprising: a detector configured to detect a specified position on a display screen on which an image is displayed; and a controller configured to, in response to the specified position on the display screen being moved, perform a page switching operation or a move operation on the basis of a movement direction in which the specified position is moved, the page switching operation being an operation of switching an image being displayed on the display screen to another image, the move operation being an operation of moving a display position of an entirety of the image being displayed on the display screen, wherein the controller is configured to perform the page switching operation if a condition is satisfied, and the controller is configured to perform the move operation if the condition is not satisfied, the condition being that an angle of the movement direction with respect to a direction orthogonal to an end portion of the display area which is in contact with an end portion of the image is equal to or less than one of a plurality of predetermined threshold angles, being asymmetrically disposed about the direction orthogonal to the end portion of the display area, and the movement direction goes away from the end portion of the display area which is in contact with the end portion of the image.
