Works well on iPad 2
I needed a way to convert an old iPad 2 (32 GB, iOS 9.3.5) into an internet-connected digital photo frame. [Many digital photo frames sync their photos through Asian servers]. With LiveFrame, I have been to easily display about 4,000 (> 14 GB) of photos in a slideshow across two Apple Photos shared albums. I can set: display time, two transition choices, when to update the albums online, photos resolution, fit-to-frame, display of time/date/weather. On the iPad, I had to change the settings for the Photos app to “Optimize iPad Storage” to prevent the app from hanging.

Need some peace of mind
If you take a look at the data used to track you at the bottom of this app page, it says it can see my user content. I desperately need the developers to give me the peace of mind they are not harvesting the photos I use, specifically from my Photos app gallery.
Works on iPad Air
This is a great app for repurposing an old iPad into a digital photo frame. I have a few ideas for the developer to enhance functionality:
- Consider adding the option for a colored square (user selectable for opacity and color) around the clock and weather. This will allow us to read the weather and time when photos with white backgrounds are displayed
- Allow users to pinch-resize the time and weather to dynamically resize these elements to whatever size we see fit.
This is a great app. With these changes above, I’ll be able to more successfully use it as a clock as well.
Thank you for supporting old iPads! Keeping compatibility with the older iPad OS is key to keep these devices from going into the landfill.
