Ratings and reviews

So far, this is the only multimedia slideshow app that I have found. I will play slideshows of static images (jpg, png), animated (gif), and video (MP4), which is awesome! However, getting to the slideshow is somewhat cumbersome, as is choosing the folders you want. Currently, you can only add individual files to favorites. I would much rather be able to add entire folders to favorites. That way I can say play favorites and I'm done. Instead I have to name my folders in such a way that they stay at the top of the gallery list so I can select them each time to run the slideshow. Also, after selecting the folders, and hitting the play button, the slideshow doesn't actually start, it simply displays the first image in the first folder. You have to tap the image and then tap the slideshow icon, then it will start. I think there could be a better way. Also, some of the options overlap. For example: there is a repeat option. If you set that to the max of 10 , it will play both animated gifs and videos 10 times then go to the next one. Problem is, videos tend to be much longer than gifs, need separate option for gifs and video. That option also multiplies the static image duration.

This is a good multipurpose gallery & gif viewer. I occasionally have an issue when swiping or images rotating between portrait & landscape view not scaling and centering correctly. Usually happens when swiping between a fairly wide image or tall one, forcing me to back out of the folder and click the image instead of swiping to correct it. Overall it does what it says, and has extra online features for those that want to use them.

Finally got the paid version of the app; I like it. I wonder what happens to files you privated if your phone dies? Hypothetical example: I save my privated files to a folder on my SD card, then my phone dies but my SD card is fine; I get new phone, put SD card in, and re-install OmniGIF. Would Omni be able to detect/recover my old privated files...? (I believe so, but just wanted to double check)
