| 2024-12-31 |  | | Weird license scheme. When I went to buy, it completely failed. Uninstalled. |
| 2024-10-14 |  | | This app needs work but it seems like the developer is actively improving the app. Unfortunately you can't expand the photo maximum on the phone, leading to a tedious process of using the TV remote and keyboard to type the password over and over. There should be an option to expand by 2,500 and 5,000 at a time for people with many photos. (Apparently the max is 9,500? Also annoying) |
| 2024-10-04 |  | | This App is fantastic! I use it on multiple Chromecast devices on my TVs at home. What I enjoy most is if if the app is active when I Turn of the TV and Chromecast it relaunches when the TV/Chromecast are turned back on. Kudos to the dev team, this is the one of the best I've found! |
| 2024-06-16 |  | | This worked flawlessly for a year or so then I added some more photos to an album which appeared to have caused issues. I contacted the developer & within days, the app was updated & the issue solved. I'll be Subscribing again. Excellent app. 5* |
| 2024-06-08 |  | | I can put my Google photos on my TV as a screensaver.... But they are not as random as I need them to be... Still, it works.... |
| 2024-03-29 |  | | Since the latest update, the app now shuts off my TV instead of starting the slideshow. Very frustrating. No settings changed, all power management on TV turned off. Other screensavers work fine. Sony x900h 65. |
| 2024-03-29 |  | | This app used to be terrific, but the recent update no longer works on my Sony Bravia Android TV. It crashes often, and even shuts down the TV set. Hopefully they'll roll out a fix, because I'd love to get back to the 5-star app I used to enjoy. |
| 2024-03-13 |  | | This app is terrible. It has the seeds of a great app: lets me pick favourites, nice transition, overlays etc. But it is unusable because it loses the settings at least once a day, the random photo selector is not random, it is hard to exit and hard to change settings. Avoid. |
| 2023-10-29 |  | | Like Marc I put this on a TV in my mom's nursing home TV and the family can add photos to the album. She loves it. It plays some videos as well but not all. |
| 2023-06-28 |  | | I like it, but sometimes some of the slides will switch after only 1 second. Can this be fixed? Edited to add... I sent the problem via email but got no response. If this bug is ever fixed, I'll revisit the app. |
