"This is the type of program that Apple should have baked
into their photos. This works with all of my pix or
individual folders, and many other options with other
interesting picture feeds which are great too as options.
What I find especially valuable is that I can vary the
time the slide is up (I often project them on my television set)
from short to several minutes per picture if desired,
not just the 20 second maximum that Apple gives you.
I think the main improvement I would make is that when
looking for an individual folder of my pictures within the
app, they don't seem to be organized in any particular
order so quite a bit of searching can be required if you have
lots of pic folders. But other than that I think it's perfect."

"My husband bought this as a mother's day gift and I absolutely LOVE it.
It allows you, to pick a shared album and it automatically refreshes when new photos
or videos are added! It's amazing to see pics pop in from my grandchildren."

"I've been searching for an app that does what
app does for literally years. This is the only one
I've found that a) can shuffle your entire photo
library ready for slide showing even though it is
on iCloud and b) allows you to have a slide show
where the transition time is completely adjustable
e.g you can set it to transition after 20 minutes
if you like so it acts like a proper photo frame.
Other apps I've tried struggle with the uploading
from the iCloud, frequently just locking up.
This one works all the time. Very impressive."

"Tried several others, till I found this one.
This does everything it promises. Many other apps
like this crashed after a few minutes of use. I
love that I can pick as many of my albums
that I want to put on shuffle, and enjoy for hours
at a time."
Rob99Review
"It took my pictures from all the places on my phone
including WhatsApp, grouped them and allowed me to
"showcase" them. A great app."
Maagskop1997
"I hesitated before I bought this app considering 2 of
the reviews but went ahead and have been really happy.
I did not have any crashes. A lot of options in settings
and I am able to use it to show photos to customers in a
timely fashion."
JuliethRose
"This app hands down has changed how I use my iPad. In times when
my iPad is just idle I'm able to now make it into a picture frame
with my favorite memories from my photo album. This has changed my
life because now at my workstation I can have my memories of love ones
playing in the background with video and picture. The support team is
amazing as well. I reached out just with a suggestion and BAM the suggestion
was added to which makes the app that much special and personable to me.
If you're looking for a app to display your photo/video memories for the
holidays or just any day, this is the app for you."

"Fantastic for using iPad as photo frame Been running this app
for a few weeks without ever having to touch the iPad. Makes it
a superb digital photo frame. Can point to iCloud shared albums which
update even as the slideshow is ongoing so can always add new photos! Brilliant."
Sprouse Renna
"Ohhhhh I cannot begin to explain how happy I am to have found this app!!!
I've been driving myself mad trying to find a digital frame with the
functionality I am looking for, when really all I needed was my old iPad,
a cute frame, and this app!!!! Ridiculously easy to set up whatever slide
show you want with many options and you can do it from the albums you
already have without having to load them on a memory card or send them
to some email address… Go ahead and buy it because the lifetime access
at $25 is worth every penny. Much better than some $150 digital frame
that is just meh."

"I previously was using Frameo and a digital frame but was looking for an alternative option
using an iPad mini instead due to the Frameo frame having WiFi connectivity issues after moving it.
This app, Digital Photo Frame Slideshow, and LiveFrame were the two main options I found for
displaying a shared album. I tried out both free trials and prefer this app due to the better
user interface. Both apps have similar functionality, such as on/off times, date/time/weather/caption
display, and other slideshow configuration options. LiveFrame seemed to have better overall
compatibility since it's able to connect to Google Photos, Instagram, etc, but this was irrelevant
to me since I had the photos in a shared album. It also was cheaper, but Digital Photo Frame
Slideshow had a better user interface that made me pick it instead."

"I spent a lot of time organizing and editing several thousand trip photos and want to use an
old iPad to display them for our family instead of having them hidden away in iCloud. This app
is just what I've been looking for to display them. I figured out how to use the app in a couple
minutes and it works great. I like all the options for transitions and how long to display each
photo. I also like that I can select many albums at a time rather than having to put all the
photos I want to display in one album. The timer option is also very useful. I will be using
this app and my iPad on our kitchen island to give us happy memories of our trips."
GV Cruiser
"I wanted a digital photo frame that displays both photos and videos, but was hard to find a good
one that is cost effective and didn't have limitations with what it could display. I have an iPad
I never use so after some research, I discovered this app and it was perfect. You can use iCloud
albums to organize photos, so I created album that my partner and I add to all the time. And the
app automatically refreshes so no need to restart the app each time you add photos/videos. Many
slideshow settings are customizable, even down to how the caption text is displayed. Can mix photos
& videos and there's no limit on how long videos can be (I have some that are a few minutes long).
I love you can set a timer to have the display automatically turnoff at night."
JIMAURO
"I have been using this app for over a few months and I love it! I love how user-friendly it is.
I select the album, choose the settings, and it starts just like that! I also like the features
it has. I like that I have the ability to select to display the time, date, and weather. I also
like the feature to set the time when the pictures display and stop. This is super convenient,
especially because the pictures start by themselves once you have selected them the first time.
Having photos and videos automatically appear in the slideshow once you have added them to an
album is amazing too, especially since you do not have to exit the album to load it again! This
is an amazing app, and I highly recommend it!"

"I have used Digital Photo Frame Slideshow for several months to convert an old iPad into a
digital picture frame. I am quite happy with its performance. I use Google photos to collect
the photos into albums of old pictures that are not in my current Apple photo collection.
Photos load quickly from google photos once I learned How. The App offers a nice selection
of transitions and other variables."
OlderGuy21
"Probably the best digital photo frame app available. Incredibly simple out-of-the-box, but
expands to features to let you tune your experience if you want to. With the option to overlay
time and weather, it's really like your phone's Standby feature for photos - but for your iPad!
Can't recommend enough!"
TomK
"I was going to buy a digital photo frame but this works so easy. I already had an iPad I use
occasionally so I put it to use. It is so simple to use and works seamlessly. Fast communication
also with developers."
CJackson4*
"If you're looking for an app to give new life to an old slow iPad then get this app! Your old
iPad will become an easily customizable picture frame, that's so much better than those expensive
stand-alone photo frames, which usually have proprietary subscriptions and limited access to users
and new content. In our case we have 53,000 photos, live photos, and videos stored at Google Photos
and backed up at Apple. I can select either of those sources (there also Dropbox and other sources)
and the content becomes an extremely configurable slide show that I display on my kitchen counter."
SteveninNKY
"My photo frame has been giving me grief for a while so I decided to see about finding an app to
use my iPad and this works flawlessly. I love how many options there are for custom settings
(timer for picture transitions, date, time, weather, runtime schedule) it's perfect and my husband
and I can use a shared folder for all pics vs having to send them to the frame since this checks
automatically. Thank you!"

"My wife and I have been looking for a way to view and share our decades of digital photos.
She used to build these great photo albums (IRL, actual notebooks). We knew we had years of
digital photos, but they were spread between a hard drive in our home office, and the Apple cloud.
We tried several photo frame hardware devices, smart TVs with a thumb drive, and even Apple TV.
None of them had a good rotation, nor integrated multiple sources of photos. Digital Photo Frame
Slideshow has been the answer we needed!"
CustomWebProgrammer
"This app does exactly what I want it to do without any annoyances. It has great features to enhance
the flow of your photos and the customer support has been incredible. We need more developers like
this one here. Thank you for this wonderful app!"
Fanatic
"I really like this app. It's easy to set up and displays my photos beautifully. My only issue is
that I would like it to really randomize the photos. The shuffle setting does that to a degree,
but like photos are still grouped together. I want to be surprised by each new pic that comes up."
RoBaDo51543
"I purchased an iPad solely as a digital frame for my parents, thanks to the amazing app that I have
discovered! This app is loaded with numerous features, but the one that stood out the most was its
ability to synchronize with Google Photos. I created a shared folder with all my siblings, and we
can all add pictures that automatically show up at my parents' house. Although the app is great,
I do have one suggestion. I wish it had an option to display multiple pictures on both sides of
a portrait-oriented picture, similar to the Apple Photos app's slideshow mode."
shloimyD
"We all have giant photo libraries these days with old photos that we rarely get to see. Being able
to see those memories always on display is a treat — and this app is *the* way to do it. I tried a
number of other apps to turn my old iPads into photo frames; here's why this one is head and shoulders
above the rest: - iCloud Photo Library support. This is a must, and with Shared Photo Library in iOS 16,
my partner and I can take photos and see them playing on the iPad without ever having to manually
select and send photos anywhere. It's seamless — and better than you'd get even with dedicated photo
frame devices."
_steverice
"I have really enjoyed this app and how it's been able to resurface old photos while I am at my work desk.
I really like that I have it on the Mac, iPhone, and iPad. The developer is really responsive as well
and has already responded to my feature requests. I'm eager to see how this app progresses in the future!"
TDawg_07
"Many great features in the app. It connects directly to your iPad Photos and other photo libraries.
It even plays the audio on your video files. I have a digital picture frame. It's larger than an iPad,
but you have to load photos into it one by one. I'll give it to somebody. There are many options
for what to show on the screen, and you can even drag the displays to where you want them. It would
be nice to have settings for font sizes. I just wish my iPad was bigger. LOL"

"Runs great on my m2 iPad Air. Easy to set up and makes a great screensaver"
Hatchettjack
"I have been trying out a bunch of digital photo frame slideshow apps so that I can repurpose an old
iPad mini that can't be upgraded past iOS 12. This app is the best of any similar app I've seen by far!
It can use any iCloud album (even shared and smart albums), but it also has the surprisingly cool idea
of using Flickr and Unsplash as sources just by entering a search term (like "Astronomy" or "Dogs").
Slideshow performance is great on the old iPad mini, and old iPad Pro, and an iPad Air 4th gen. The
customization controls are excellent with a very intuitive user interface."
LazyTechie
"I been using this app and I really like it easy to use people love to stand in front of this iPad that
I inserted in the wall I totally recommend this one after I try so many this one is the winner Thank
you to the developers"
Rossvasquez
"I was looking to repurpose some old iPads for dedicated slideshow duty in my kitchen and family room
and decided on this app. It's very reliable with a rich and robust feature set, and it just runs and
runs without stopping. I love all the options for transitions, the ability to play live photos and
videos within slide shows, and so much more. Also, the developer is very responsive and eager
to hear suggestions. I'm very happy with my purchase."
ELMEL
"Works great on any iPad I have. Better and more stable that Apple's Photos app for slideshows. Will
show Live Photos and videos. However, less options for how the photos are displayed as in tiled or
floating or shifting. It is one photo/video at a time. Found that on a newly repurposed iPad that I
had to make sure all the photos in my Favorites album were downloaded to the iPad otherwise the app
would seem to hang. Highly recommended."
LRLee
"It does exactly as it says. Turns older iPad into a digital frame."

"I was skeptical at first because of the price but it has delivered everything it said it would. Easy to use, plenty of settings to adjust, no crashing and not expensive. 5 stars in my book."
rrdYaakesh
"I saw this at a friend's house and just absolutely loved it. It was simple being that it is an old iPad but the fact that it shuffles and can load so many pictures from different places was just amazing to me. I was mesmerized and bought one when I got home as we had an extra iPad lying around."
HtardHoeather
"It brings back such sweet memories when the pictures come up. Sometimes I stop and reflect on them. Makes you appreciate when you could travel and be with friends."

"Wonderful app for slideshows and great customer service! Really love it and the kids love to see all the photos too."
swbmom
"This app is perfect, it does everything you'd want a slide show app to do. But have 1 small enhancement request... is it possible to link the photo? In other words, have an icon on each photo, so if I want to go into that photo I can do that? Maybe I want to share a pic on social media etc., so a link like that world be cherry on the cake for me."
HelloitsDerek
"The version I downloaded first was great, but had a fatal (for me) flaw...something didn't work right. I shouted out to the developer who actually responded without delay, recognized the issue, and claimed he would correct with the next update. Don't recall how long, but probably a week or less. Considering this level of accountability the app is a clear champion in my book. Thanks"
Quickstep11
"Spoke to the developer and he fixed an issue for me right away."
Samantha Boehm
"I just love the fact that the developer Manuel is open to improving the app and ALWAYS takes the time to respond. I have given him some features that I would like to see and he was able to add a few in later versions which I appreciate."
Martine Schmidt
"It works great and if you use the app on an old iPad or iPhone, get an Apple Digital Adapter (don't use any other) you can create a great digital photo frame on any screen! I have mine playing on a 22" screen! Great support too! Highly recommend this app!"
big guy Mario
"My old iPad 2 still works but the more modern apps don't work with it anymore and my uses for it for dwindling. But I hung on to it because it's a memory of my mom who passed away in 2019. She had used it a lot of some games. An idea occurred to me to see if I could find an app for the old iPad 2 to use it as a digital photo frame. Fortunately I came across this app. It downloaded and booted which was cool."

"This software ran for an unprecedented 1 year straight with no interruptions before I finally decided to break the streak. This software was worth every cent of the $27 lifetime subscription."
