Ratings and reviews

Great app, I really love the fact that it works smoothly with large files and a huge amount of them. I loaded 32 GB of pictures to shuffle without any problems. Best of all the similar apps I tried. I only wish it had the ability to zoom in on the image I'm drawing, as sometimes I want to get the detail that isn't visible without zooming in.

The old version used to allow you to use more than 25 images. It also used to allow you to do intervals longer than 2 minutes. This is all locked behind paywalls now. If you're planning to use this app, you're better off looking for an apk of one of the older versions before the dev decided to strip down the app so they could charge you for basic features.

I really like what this app was trying to do....but the execution.... is horrible. All of my pictures are on my Google drive, which the app supports, but it's horrible. my pictures never load completely, I get duplicates, and when I select a folder it tries to downloads WAY more pictures than what's in the folder. I don't know whats happening but the app is useless to me. if this fixes I'll definitely give it 5 stars but until then it's unusable
