Ratings and reviews

Best photo frame app. excellent app to use as photo frame. lots of features. bought the unlimited license version. Wishlist: 1) separate transition timing for photos and videos, 2) a button to toggle watching selected folders or favorites, please. Thank you for the latest update. Now I can connect to my Synology NAS. Update 11 july: Thank you update 12 july: wow, thank you developer for making my wishes come true. fantastic support. highly recommended to all looking for a great picture frame app

Slideshow still skipping all over the place. Eg. Slideshow paused, swiping 30 jumps to 37, 100 skips to 250. My belief is that it should count sequentially without fail always.

This is a good app but got let down by some small interface mishap - there is a button to select all albums (by accident) but no button to unselect all! And will be nice to have a search function to help select the right album. There is no way to contact the dev, so hope they read this comment!

What’s new

• Fixed: the photo counter now counts one by one while you swipe — no more jumping numbers
• Dual view now pairs neighboring photos, so no photo gets skipped anymore
• Stability improvements
