Ratings and reviews

Its pretty cool, but for 5 bucks? You have to allow me to pick a folder man. There is zero rhyme or reason for how it behaves. It literally goes out of its way to avoid the photos I want displayed. Let me pick the folder that I want selected. Simple dude. You've got a cool little app here. It's very much like the original gingerbread photo widget that I missed dearly for years now. Fix it and I will happily sing its praises and give it the 5 stars it deserves

Like the other reviewer said: does not display videos on the widget. I tried twice. I even transferred a video over to its own folder and set up a Gallery Widget to view only that folder. Just in case it had trouble with mixed media. It was a 3 minute video I shot with my phone's camera. I have a flagship phone, it's only a year old, stock launcher, no memory card, stellar internet. There's absolutely nothing I am doing that would interfere with the process of this app or make my case unique.

Note to anyone: Sadly it does not play any video, Even if it says Photo & "Video". (Read the desc, It might clear things up.). If anyones concerned, it's actually hard to show a video format in widget form. There are apps to do GIFs though. Anyway, UI wise it's hard for a beginner, to read and digest but slowly easy in a long time. Settings icon shows up on widget, nothing to do with that. And somehow quality of photo is reduced? Overall, there is potential but not much.
