Photo Gallery and Screensaver

About this app

Supporting photos from your device, as well as online sources such as Google Photos.

In-app purchase required - the screensaver is limited to the 50 oldest photos in your library, and the gallery won’t let you view photos and videos full screen. This lets you test the app at your leisure before purchasing if you choose to.

Browse your photos and videos easily, offering a great way to view and share albums on your big screen. Please note that this app is optimised for the TV and will not navigate nicely on a touch device!

Showcase your photos as an Android TV Daydream/Screensaver/Slideshow.

** Screensaver Features

Since this app looks for new photos in the background, it means you only need to set it up and customise once and then you'll never need to think about it again. Just sit back and enjoy watching new and old photos alike, from your own collection as well as any chosen friends and family.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely “loved” this app. It “worked” flawlessly until the update now it doesn’t start most of the time while shutting down my shield which is well over half the time it’s scheduled to start. It also now has this annoying bar on the bottom of the screen that shows the progress of the video and lI can’t figure out how to get rid of it. It takes away from its beauty but when the screen saver does actually load it is still beautiful.

This app was very easy to install and intuitive setting up and connecting it to a source was pretty straight forward. A word of warning (or advice) at least for the 2015 Nvidia Shield. I ended up playing around a lot with my albums, deleting and adding to the albums and syncing this app each time. After doing this several times, I noticed that pictures stopped rotating, you would get what was originally put on the splash screen and it would never rotate out. On the collage there was a symptom that I would get some pictures and then boxes where pictures belonged on the screen, but instead it had black spaces. The fix for this was to go into the application settings and deleting out the cache for the application. Once I did this and synced my source again, everything started working as normal.

There is a bug: w all settings, the display of pictures is still not consistent. For example, if I set the picture refresh rate at, say 5 or 10 seconds in the "slide" mode, sometimes, there is a 5-10 second gap (black screen) between pictures & sometimes not (even without making any changes to settings). Sometimes, album information shows up on screen even when turned OFF. I have purchased the screensaver & would like to use it on multiple TVs in the same house. Hope I will not need to pay for each TV separately. Will find out soon.
