I am reluctant to buy an app without trying a free version before, but in this ocasion I took the chance and it really worth it. I was looking for a replacement for Google Photos, and this one met all my requirements. I haven't tried yet using it with Chromecast, but so far it works great and could only be an added value. Thanks and congratulations!
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.
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
I'm using a tablet as digital photo frame. After a long research, it is currently the ONLY app I've found capable of doing three tasks: displaying videos within the photo slideshow DIRECTLY from a free unlimited cloud storage platform AND autostart slideshow when the app starts. Super fast reply from developer. Minor issue adjusted in record time.
Needs zoom, slide panning, and scheduling to be perfect imo. The background photo blurring is a nice touch if you don't want your pictures to fill the screen.
I had a problem installing the app on another device and the developer of the app replied to my question within a few minutes. The app does exactly what it is suppose to do and has direct access to my Google Photos Albums so that the process of creating a slideshow takes less then a minute.
So far, I've organized photos from my phone into albums wit Google photos, then cast them to TV us using pfolio app on firestick. I got a message ab storage upon opening pfolio. I followed the instructions but not sure what app I need to correct. I'm wondering is it Google fotos, my phone or pfolio? I need more time to do a full review. Pfolio is a real service for my firesticks and hope I can organize all with these apps. Nothing else I've used so far does it so well.
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.
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.
Nice app, works great on nVidia shield to view slideshows. I wish there was a way to have a Google music Playlist or Radio station play while the slideshow is on.
Best app for Google photos. This is the secret to casting Google photos glitch free to a Chromecast supported device.
I forgot to say that from last app update everything works perfect. No more issues with playing video files from google photos. Now this app, and his creator (or team) deserve 5 stars ;)
Great app, by far the best I've tried. I can now use my old tablets as picture frames as I hoped, so I'm a happy customer.
Really enjoy the app as I use a tablet as a digital photo frame, however getting a constant message saying used daily quota? Is there a way to stop this?
Been using this app for many years. Always reliable and the developer has been very responsive with any questions I have had.
Very happy with it, does what it says. If possible would like a rotate 90 degree option please.
Works great. Nice way to turn an old tablet into a digital photo frame.
So much better than using Google Photos. Let's you sort your albums and photos as you wish.
When casting a slideshow the chromecast symbol is displayed on each image like a watermark. Hopeless.
Signing in with my Google account wouldn't work. That's pretty much a show stopper with this app.
Great app and a good Google Photos replacement for Android TV! Plus, excellent developer assistance! Good job!!!
Best way to get a decent slideshow on Android. Even direct from your Google photos albums!
I have a question. Once my photos are uploaded to Google Photos, can I remove them from my camera? I am going out of the country for 2 weeks so would like to upload to Google Photos then delete them from my phone without them deleting on Google Photos
only app i found that can do a slideshow on google photo album and display the photo caption.
The mp4 video i pre- created from my google photos never uploaded to IG or FB. Only the photo of video! 😕
Ideal to sync with Android app and watching your favourite photos on the big screen
great to have all your photos in one easily accessible place
Not linked to my ANDROIDTV, list also does not show ANDROIDTV in the linked devices. When I go to PixFolio on ANDROIDTV it asks me to purchase app
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.
