Doesn’t work
Added the widget, selected an album, all was good. With widget is just a grey square on my screen.Smitty4160
So promising
I was so excited to find this because it was exactly what I was looking for. I put all the pictures I wanted in an album but then the widget wouldn’t allow me to select an album. It just simply didn’t work for me. I can adjust all the other settings, tried restarting my phone, but it just doesn’t work. So I tried it on my iPad, but got the same issue. Wondering if there’s a conflict with a recent update? Hoping it will get fixed because the design is perfect and simple and again exactly what I was looking forDigitlchic
Pretty cool once it started working
The Photo Album widget is not showing up on iOS 17. Unusable.
EDIT: The widget randomly showed up several hours later. It pulls from my shared album exactly as I hoped!
The photo frame options are weird. And I wish you could click a photo and have it go directly to that photo in the Photos app, rather than in the widget app. But now I can have a shared album as a widget!SchwartzReports
No other widget does what this one does!
I wanted a widget that would pull images from ALL of the photos on my phone without creating an album and display them randomly. I downloaded multiple widget apps, and this was the only one that had that capability! I wish it were possible to selection an option to see the displayed image amongst all of the photos in your album, but that doesn’t seem possible here, nor were any of the other widgets capable of that which seems a little odd to me, but glad this is able to do what it does.Azz3879
Exactly what I was looking for
Now I don’t have to create separate albums! I was annoyed with all the other photo widgets out there that required making an album in their app. I wanted a widget that gets pics directly from albums in the Photos app, and this is perfect! I picked this one over another one because it has configurable refresh times! (fyi, “Efect” is misspelled, it should have two f’s, “Effect”! ☺️)Jinjujoojoo
Has promise but maybe not ready
This app is simple, and does what I want. I added photos to create an album. That album can now be displayed in four different formats on my iPad desktop. Great. However, I do not see how to edit this album that is created. Perhaps I have to delete the app, reinstall, and start over. Also, it would be good if we could change the timing of photo changes from 15 minutes to a smaller number, like 5 minutes.HelixUS
Developer Response
First of all, thank you for using this app. The application is designed to present photos from the native albums of the Photos application. Technically, it is not possible to open a specific album in the Photos app externally, so editing must be done directly in the Photos app. Smaller values for photo timings sound good, I'll add them in a future version.
