### 4/5 — アルバム削除でバグあり

*2026-05-21*

アルバムを削除し表示アルバムを変更したところ、新しいウィジェットを作る度に消したはずのアルバムの名前が表示されるようになってしまった
編集で別アルバムに変えるので実害はないが、消したはずのデータが残っていそう

### 5/5 — Optional feature

*2026-05-17, version 2.1.17*

I love this app, it’s the best app I’ve used for photos but I just wished it had a feature to cycle the photos in order.. I keep getting the same photos every other cycle.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-04-11, version 2.1.17*

Great app, but too many ads that you can’t escape from easily. It either takes several minutes to finally get out of, or I have to turn my phone off, to get back to where I originally was in the app. I would much rather pay to avoid ads. Will try and find another app to get what I’m after 😞

### 4/5 — Please add display in full color

*2026-01-07*

This app has great functionality, without the copious ads that make other apps unusable. I especially love that you can crop photos which is super helpful for getting my widgets just right.

The only thing holding this app back is the inability to display photos in full color when using a tinted homescreen. Adding that would make this app perfect.

**Developer response:** Hello, this is Photo Album.
Thank you for using our app.
We appreciate your feedback. 
It will be taken into consideration when we further develop our app. 
We will always try to offer you the very best service.
Thank you for your interest and care!

### 5/5 — Option to remove ads!

*2025-10-21*

Love the CarPlay widget! 

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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

**Developer response:** 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!

### 4/5 — Keep widget colored?

*2025-10-08, version 2.1.17*

The widget itself is flawless, works like a charm however new iOS update has transparency Home Screen and the widget also changes based on apps transparency. Any way to keep the widget not be affected by ios26?

### 5/5 — iPhone or Mac

*2025-09-30, version 2.1.17*

I love this app.
I use it on my iPhone but find its much better on my Mac.
What you set your screen resolution to, determines how many widgets you can fit.
I have mine set so I can fit six large square or three large rectangle widgets across the screen and three large and one small row of widgets down the screen.
So row 1 has six large square.
Row 2 has three large rectangle.
Row 3 has two large square and two large rectangle.
And the final row has six small square and three small rectangle widgets.
Each tile has a separate photo album set, and they change image every 1 minute.
I set my Mac wallpaper to dark grey and the widgets cover the screen like floating tiles that constantly change image.
So much better than a single static wallpaper!

### 3/5 — 갑자기 위젯 기능이 사라졌는데요

*2025-05-05, version 2.1.16*

저만 겪는 현상인가요

### 5/5 — Sehr gut

*2025-05-03, version 2.1.16*

Tolle App  - bitte passt eure App an. Sie funktioniert nicht mehr richtig. Kein Bilderwechsel mehr
