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.
