Digital Photo Frame Slideshow 17+

Must Buy

I've had a fantastic experience using this app! Its user-friendly interface and flexibility make it an outstanding choice for anyone looking to display images in a dynamic way. The developer deserves special praise for their prompt and helpful responses, adding a personal touch to the user experience. For anyone in the market for a digital photo frame I highly recommend buying an old used iPad and pairing it with this app. This combination not only outperforms even the highest-end standalone digital photo frames in both hardware and software capabilities but does so at a fraction of the cost. Moreover, unlike most other digital photo frames, your photos are stored directly on the device. The app does not require you to upload your precious memories to some unknown cloud service, eliminating concerns about the longevity or reliability of external services. This feature ensures peace of mind, knowing that your photos remain safe and accessible, irrespective of the company's future.

A must for your old iPads

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.
- Tons of customization. Choose any duration you want, how photos should be scaled, whether or not to play videos, and one of my favorites — animate live photos once when they appear, then just show them as still. A nice way to catch your eye when a new photo appears but not be distracting.
- Show image metadata like location and date simply and elegantly, which adds a whole level of context that makes your photos mean even more.
- Supports the newest screen sizes and features. I use it with a 12.9” iPad Pro and there are so many slideshow apps that still have awful scaled-up displays. The UI here is clean, attractive, and it all looks “right”.

Best of all, it all just works! I can set it up the way I want, and then just leave it alone.

Hi Steve, thank you so much for the review. This is super useful for me and other users. I can't thank you enough. Manuel ❤️

Perfect for my needs

My "retired" iPad 2 and iPad 3 are running 24/7 slideshows from shared albums.

I tried Apple Photos built-in slideshow feature, but it would not run continuously. I was restarting each iPad's slideshow daily, sometime twice a day. That was irritating enough to find another solution.

This app runs on old iPads and does the job well. I can quickly select a shared album and start the slideshow. The app has many options. I like the flip transition. I set 10 seconds for each picture. I especially like the option to NOT play videos.

I prevented my picture-frame iPads going dark by searching for "auto-lock" in the Settings app--change it to "Never".

This app has a subscription payment model. I am still in the one week free trial period. It is working just the way I want. For me, it is worth $10 per year.

Update, several months later, the subscription has gained value. Two iPods Touch and an iPhone 6 are running slideshows 24/7. The app’s Ken Burns transition helps on those tiny screens. And today I added an old-ish, cracked-screen iPad to the digital picture frame lineup. Six devices. This is a great way to get end-of-life value from old, but still working screens.
