Maybe not currently, but I think once you find the right audience AnyLanguageStudy will take off and many more custom image lists will start appearing. The need will be there for centering options.
Also, the potential is there to go beyond just language study with image lists like: flags, animal breeds, birds, flowers, etc., pretty much any subject that needs visual distinctions that someone wants to study.
(And word lists could also venture into trivia like History, Pop Culture, etc.)
I made some mock-ups for fun:

National Flags:
Dog Breeds (centered differently):

I was hoping maybe you had a more permanent place where updates would go so I could keep track myself, like a website/blog page we could tell people about and maybe a community could form. For an App like yours it really needs a big community input to grow word list wise.
As for new feature ideas, I'll throw a few out there and go into details:
1. An optional timer could be used for testing recollection speed or for setting personal speed goals.
For example: When you enable the "Wait press after right answer" option it could also show the time it took to answer (the timer could remain hidden until then), and maybe show the time it took to complete your set range when it says "Set once correct".
2. A way to set a custom word range. The {All, 10, 20, 50, 100} option is sometimes limiting. Or maybe a way to define custom ranges in a word list(.csv) so you can set up multiple lessons without having to create multiple short word lists.
For example: If you know on your word list 28-42 are related and should be studied in a group you can set up your word list to make pressing left/right on the analog stick switch from 1-27 (lesson 01), to 28-42 (lesson 02), etc.
Another (probably easier) option would be to group related word lists (languages/lessons) on the main menu.
For example: You can select 'English-Japanese' from the main menu instead of having to hit L/R until you find it and all the JLPT lists would be in 'JLPT'. From there you can select 'JLPT' to get to the courses N1, N2, N3, etc.
There would still be multiple short word lists but at least they'll be organized.
3. A way to define a custom layout for each word/image list to maximize screen space and add a little personal touch from the creator of the list, or to just set everything up to your own liking.
Here's an example of how I would do an image list:

I think that's it for now.
