Touching a photo doesn’t open it

Wanted an app for my grandmas iPad to cheer her up with family photos while she’s in nursing home. But of course, she’ll touch a photo she likes, to try to make it bigger. This app does fine until you touch a photo. Instead of making it bigger, or showing the album with the photo centered, it just takes you to this app’s settings, with a bunch of complicated settings my grandma doesn’t need to see. But you can get to this app’s settings via it’s dedicated icon, so touching a photo shouldn’t also take you to settings. Whoever wrote this app clearly didn’t think of grandma’s in nursing homes who can’t see and just want to make the picture bigger. Bummer. Instantly uninstalled, and my $1 lost.

Response from developer

Yeah, as far as I know it’s not possible to link straight to a photo in the photos app. I wish there was! Please, file a return request with Apple! Get the money back if you don’t like it, seriously.

Low res

Shows photos in very low resolution (presumably ones that are backed up in iCloud but not saved locally) - should trigger a download in full read, it looks pretty bad rn

Response from developer

For memory pressure reasons, photos can not be loaded at @3x resolutions, so that can cause some perceived blurriness. Widgets are limited to 30MB of RAM and photos blow through that fast. The app only requests high quality versions when requesting them from the photos framework, so iCloud photos _should_ be downloaded in full. (In fact this is how I primarily use the app too) It could be the the facial recognition algorithm. Perhaps it’s cropping too closely around faces. That could result in some blur. I’ll take another look at that. Feel free to reach out via the contact email if you have any more questions. If you create a “custom locket” inside the app it will use higher resolution imagery because it is lest constrained by RAM.

#2 photo widget for albums

My only complaint is that you can’t have the album title shown. Would like to see a disable/enable option for that if it’s possible. Even in spite of that.. 5 stars!

Works great

Works exactly as expected, but I would like the option to switch photos every 30 seconds or something like that.

Great app, just not working right

I really appreciate this app but for some reason none of the locket styles are working for me except for the large one so I thought I’d write a review to let you know.

Needs Some Work

The premise of this app is exactly what I was looking for, but it's pretty buggy. The large widgets don't work at all and neither do the times 30 minutes and above. Also, pictures aren't centered or resized properly, which makes some of the images look pretty bad. I get that widgets are new and they'll be buggy for awhile- when these issues are fixed- I'll update my review.

Was perfect until the latest update

This app was perfect until the latest update. Now all of my photos are not focusing properly on the subjects and are being cut off because of the on device machine learning. Also would like to see the lower rotation times brought back so photos can change every couple minutes rather than having to wait 5 minutes. No longer works on iPad either.

Great!

Great widget app. This is what I am looking for. Supports album per widget!

Confused

How am I supposed to change the photos? It doesn’t seem to have that option.

Best Locket App

This is the best locket app in the market. Easy and simple to use, just like the developer’s other great apps.

Picture quality

App is fine and easy to use but the large widget shows the picture in low quality.The small widget shows up fine.

Good app

Seems to work well but could use a "medium" widget - i.e. 2x4.

Very straight forward

Clean, simple, straight forward app / widget that was clearly well thought out. I may not even end up keeping it on my home screen but wanted to support the developer nonetheless :)
