App Profile: PHOTO ALBUM (Photo Widget)

The widgets on the home screen look just as you’d expect them to and shuffle at the right times. All three sizes show different pictures at a time unlike some other photo widgets so you can have more than the same photo showing. I definitely recommend it! The only thing I could ask for is the ability to add unlimited/more than 100 photos at a time to one of the albums and the ability to preview what the photos will look like on the widget that’s a long rectangle and not a square when cropping them. I’m sure those things could be added in the future though if needed ;) There’s only one inconvenience I’ve run into but it’s kind of my own fault and not a deal breaker. After selecting a group of photos to add to an album a slide comes up so you can then choose to crop the photos you selected. Unfortunately if you accidentally hit “cancel” on that window, because you crop them all at once, your progress is lost and you’ll have to recrop them again. It’s kind of easy to accidentally hit cancel when you mess up the crop on one of the images and want to redo it because it looks like you’re doing them one at a time but it’s all at once. It’s not a big deal at all as long at you remember to not hit “cancel”. It’s still a great app and I still recommend it for adding a nice design element to your home screen.

I loved the app. It was what I was looking for since I couldn’t edit my pictures on other apps, and neither could I adjust the text or time they appear. Though! I find it frustrating that i can’t manage the order in which my pictures appear. That would be a nice feature to have. I would love to see in the future text highlights, that would please my eyes really, it would facilitate to see the letters making them more simple by adding a color block behind the text. Another suggestion would be to be able to add outline to the text. This is crazy, but...what if gifs, moving pictures, could be there....that would be awesome. Sorry, quite the dreamer here.

Very nice app, it's awesome to have my favorite pictures on the home screen. One request: I often tap the widget either because it's a great picture and I want to see it up close, or because something's wrong with the picture. It would be great if tapping the widget would - open the current picture shown - offer an option to crop it edit it - offer an option to keep it on the widget or change to the next one Minor: I'm not sure if there's a "random" option. It seems like it either shows pictures by name or by date taken. I'd like a shuffle mode, or if that's already what it is, clearly call it that. ___ This app does what it says, you can have a (slow) slide show on your home screen in a widget, with a new picture every few minutes. Great. Lots of ads though if you need to change any settings, but no ads on the widgets themselves. It's better than Apple's photo widget because - you get to pick which photos to include - when you tap the picture the app opens, and when you owe the app, it will have put the next picture - you can crop all selected pictures in the app. This is destructive, but since the photos are copies, your originals are fine Personally I'd like to be able to buy the app to get rid of the ads, and I'd like it if the crop options included a preset crop aspect ratio matching the tile shape. Even better keep the original photos, and memorize different crop choices for each tile shape and size.
