Brilliant app. Does exactly as described. Brilliant and minimalistic interface, easy to use. Just emailed the developer a question and got a reply within 15 mins which answered my question. Absolutely amazing all around. Would definitely recommend. Cheers.

Functions great for what it does. I would love to see two added functions: the ability to cast to my Chromecast while my phone is locked or I'm using another app, and for it to display two portrait photos side-by-side, the way Chromecast's ambient feature can. Other than that, it's exactly what I want!

Really good app with good Google Photos support. While using Chromecast to view slideshows, please either don't blank the screen between photos or implement the selected animation effect from settings. The current transition is jarring and makes viewing slideshows on my tv unpleasant.

if you're using a chromecast, do not buy this app. IF it actually works, there's no transition between shots, just a hard frame change and the app developer said they can't fix this. The random setting is garbage, you have to go back and forth a few times to make it work and eventually it seems to go back in order. Then there's the fact that it just doesn't work sometimes. If you made the mistake of buying this already, you can mirror your screen and get some use out of it

Not at all what I was expecting... What I wanted was an app that could create a shareable and high quality sideshow straight from G-photos without having to dl each photo and re upload everyone. But... You can't share your show. It only plays on your phone, so you'll need to find something to cast it to. Secondly, the options that you get for a paid app are dismal. Sure, you get a bunch of animations, but the details are whatever the developer wants. It's a bad free app, useless pay app.

Been using this app for many years. Always reliable and the developer has been very responsive with any questions I have had. Update: now also use this app on Sony Android TV. Works well and better than Chromecasting which is the only option Google give you. When Chromecasting Google appears to dish up a downgraded image vs the originally saved image. Pixfolio displays a better quality image in my opinion.

I like this app. I turned an old tablet into a digital photo frame and adding background music makes it even better.

Excellent app. Wanted to make an auto-updating slide show with recent photos/videos from my Google photos account on an old tablet. Tried a few different apps, and this does the job in an elegant way, with some neat overlays (weather, clock, etc). Also easy to setup. Worth the few $ and highly recommendable if this is your goal.

I used to love this app, but for some time now I've found it unusable because it shows every day that I take photos and share them as an album with the photo date. I only want it to show (and download) real albums that I created, like it used to. Another app on the play store is able to separate these out as posts. I'm not prepared to go into the display settings every day and hide albums of all the photos I took and shared that day. I'd rather just use Google Photos itself and wait until I have WiFi. Disappointing.

Really good at what it does in my initial testing, it would be fantastic to have a nice widget for home/lockscreens. A live wallpaper option as well, unless I've missed this feature. It is exactly what I was looking for except for those options. I've looked everywhere! It does what the default photos album should do! You don't need to be constantly backing up, just simply pick an album or multiple albums and it just works. Take note Google. If this adds those features, solid 6/5 stars.

Requests you use Google photos .which is useless for organising large galleries offline..I want a photograph browser like gthumb which is sadly not available on Android. Guess I will have buy the pro app. This might be fine if you're a Google person.

Not able to purchase this app in India. Didn't know whether it is supported in India though 3 days trial worked fine. Expexting the resolution from pixfolio team.

Excellent! The clock and weather overlays are nice. The brief 4-day weather forecast with hi/lo temp and conditions is outright radical! Exactly what I've dreamed of. My one ask is for local folder as an album. That way it could run even when connection is intermittent. (Of course that precludes the weather overlay but it'd be worth it to leave an old tablet running as a connectionless picture frame. Maybe the weather overlay could simply not display when no connection is detected.)

I originally gave this a one-star review, the the developer was quick to respond and I was incorrect in My description of the software for the price you pay when you buy it it has an excellent feature-set. The optional purchase for business license are for things that 99% of people will not use, mostly features for televisions that are mounted portrait style. Apologies on my part.

I have used this app for several years to be able to view Google Photos when I am offline. The new version does not seem to have the capability anymore. It won't automatically download, and even if I manually "Export to Device Gallery" for each album, the photos would only be saved in the internal memory rather than on the SD card regardless how I set the "Download Location".
