What happened?

Love this app but it stopped working after upgrading to iOS 18. It doesn’t show any images. Will update rating if it gets fixed.
Update: Issue fixed so I’m giving it 5 stars. Thank you for the quick response.
Suggestion: Add an option to add images directly from Files, not just from Photos

(v 2.1.14) 2) restart your mobile phone.

Almost Perfect App

Concise and functional, exactly what I need. But here is to developers: Out of the over a thousand photos I have in the app a few of them get randomly displayed a lot more frequently in the widget while others I just do not often see. I believe there is a problem with your random or hash function which you might want to fix!

I LOVE IT!! HOWEVER….

So I been using this ever since I started using widgets on my iPhone and I absolutely love it as it was simple and easy. So when I got my iPad I wanted to do the same thing, but for what ever reason I couldn’t use it as I always come up with just a black box. I tried using different sizes, uninstalling to reinstalling and I still run into the same issue. It works perfectly fine on iPhone but I don’t know if this is just a glitch or if this widget is for iPhone only.

Love this app!

I have multiple albums running as widgets on my iPhone. I wish the app would sync with my iPad. It is showing the six original albums, but not any of the recent ones I’ve created. Other than that, it is the best photo album widget that I’ve found.

Duration Bug

Hello,
I just downloaded the app and I have three albums and three widgets for each one on my home screen. I set one to 12 hours and two to 6 hours but they are changing pictures every 10 minutes :( Please fix, I love how simple the app is.

Simple and easy

I've used photo widgets for years on Android, widgets in iOS can be way too much! This app is very easy and simple to use. I am one of those people who hates ads and would prefer to just pay instead, I ignore ads period. If there were a way to pay for this app I'd give it 5 stars, otherwise thanks for making it easy to customize an iphone which can be a heavy task, this blame goes to Apple and not app developers.

Update

Overall the app is great. I really love how many pictures I can add to an album. But for some reason this last update has made all the pictures in the widget look blurry it not focused. I’m not sure if it’s a bug in the update because I’ve restarted my phone and still the same problem persists

Option to remove ads!

Update: Still the best photo album app in the Apple Store! Thank you!!

Please offer a one time pay option to remove the ads! They are annoying and you have a great app! This is the BEST photo album widget app in the Apple Store. It works as intended and there are frequent updates. I think I have tried all the apps and by far this is the best!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hello, this is Photo Album. Thank you for using our app. And we appreciate your feedback. Photo Album will always strive to provide the best services with our simple design and numerous functions. Thank you for your interest and care!

Good but consider offering an ad-free paid version

Works really well and is probably the best photo widget app I’ve found… BUT the ads are endless and really terrible. The close buttons just take you to the App Store (a waste because I’d never download an app from an ad), then you go back to the app for another ad.

Maybe the developer should offer an ad-free version. I’d pay $5-$10 a year for this app just to avoid them.

Does what I wish the native photos widget should’ve done

Great app! Let’s me choose multiple photos to have in a widget and can cycle through them every couple minute. HOWEVER, I really wish there was a function to see what photos you currently have in an album. I want to update the widget to show additional new photos but don’t want to add duplicates to the album
