Digital Photo Frame Slideshow 17+

It works great!

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. I can customize things like transitions, time displayed, scaling, overlays (such as time and location meta info), turning off the display at night, and more. Another great feature is the ability to pause a photo or video, and you can then even text, airdrop, email it or post it to social media. I do have one tip though, to get the maximum number of photos to display, update the old iPad to the latest iOS that the system suggests. I have only one negative issue to share, it now takes me much longer to complete any task in the kitchen because my attention keeps drifting to the Digital Photo Frame! It’s so much fun to relive all those memories.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the great review! It means a lot to me! Manuel 😊

A breeze to set up!

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. It is more intuitive to use and supports multiple languages instead of just English.

If price isn’t a concern, I would definitely pick this over all other apps (as of February 2025)!

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.
