Diashows. Zuletzt 4-5 Sterne. Einzigartiger Leistungsumfang, leider geprägt von Abstürzen, die nicht mehr angepasst wurden. Schade. Mit nur 4 € ohne Abo noch vom alten Schlag. Wirklich schade. ### 4/5 — Excellent! *2022-08-02, version 7.1* It’s easy to use & the final video is fantastic! ### 3/5 — Musik / Trimm *2022-04-05* Kann die hinterlegte Musik nicht anpassen, nicht trimmen (App stürzt ab /Pad Pro). Auch der Originalton von einem hinzugefügten Video geht nicht auszuschalten (wahlweise z.B.). Nutze die App auch seit Jahren (sporadisch und - bezahlt), war meist auch zufrieden. Muss nun leider feststellen, dass diese im Zuge der Entwicklung nachlässt. Wichtig wäre, sich der Ausführungen hier auch mal anzunehmen. Danke. ### 3/5 — Hard *2021-10-12, version 7.1* Doesn’t allow “No Transition” option ### 5/5 — This is a lie. *2021-09-13, version 7.1* I cannot get a one star rating sent. I cannot add other photos to a project I accidentally started. The lower left photo icon does not give me a menu that allows me to add more photos. Very frustrating! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-05-06, version 7.1* Fantastic app to use. Very easy to use and the final results are top notch. ### 3/5 — Can’t see pictures I selected *2021-04-26, version 7.1* It ask to add pics so I select pic it just shows a check mark but no pic to see what you selected go next ### 5/5 — Slide show director *2021-03-13, version 7.1* Best auto photo to video creation with auto transitions and auto music sync. ### 1/5 — Waste of money! *2020-10-28, version 7.1* Can’t download the music to the video and it kicks you out every other second. Crap! ### 5/5 — SlideshowPro *2020-09-05, version 7.1* Since last update works well on my iPhones and two iPads but unfortunately on my iPad Pro it crashes as soon as the theme button is pressed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-08-31, version 7.1* After an hour of working on making a slideshow, this app crashes twice and deleted everything I put together. ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-03-15, version 7.1* The program sees my Apple Music but will not sync the length because it shows the song having 0:00 length. I wish I could give a negative star review ### 1/5 — Want to use images NOT in Photos App! *2025-02-01, version 7.1* That says it all! ### 1/5 — Excellent *2023-10-15, version 7.1* Update 2: Version 2.3 addresses my concerns regarding synchronizing my slides with my music. I am now very pleased with this app and highly recommend it. Also, it is obvious to me that the developer is responsive to the app reviews and has done an excellent job in addressing purchaser concerns and suggestions for improvement. Keep up the good work! Update: Since the upgrade I cannot set the timing for synchronizing with my music and have it hold. Whatever times I set change with no rhyme or reason. It seems to have a mind of it's own. Very disappointing so knock off two stars until this problem is fixed. Reminds me of the mechanic who fixes one thing and breaks another. FIX IT NOW! I was looking for a way to sequence my images and present them in an attractive slideshow and this app allows me to do this. Since this app enables the user to connect the iPad to a flat screen TV via HDMI, that is probably why the app doesn't present the images properly in portrait orientation. Most people view their flat screen TVs in landscape orientation. Also, I was able to vary the times between slide changes and how long each slide remained on the screen. This capability permitted me to synchronize my images with my music so that the slideshow and music ended together. So far I am very pleased with this app. Update 10/14/2023: Since my initial review it is obvious to me that the developer has abandoned this app which has rendered it virtually useless. After my wife’s death in 2011 I created a slideshow comprised of special photographs of times in her life and selected appropriate background music. The slide show (photos) are still there and will play but the music was missing. I finally was able to locate the music in iCloud but the means of editing the slideshow are missing. The app needs to be updated so that it will be compatible with iOS 17 and iPadOS 17. I’m not holding my breath for that to happen, since, as I said, I believe that the developer has abandoned this app. I do not recommend this app to anyone — don’t waste your money. I will be most happy to revise my review if and when this app is once again functional. ### 1/5 — I’m so frustrated *2022-12-13, version 7.1* I have been working on this for hours with so many glitches I can’t make any progress. I want a refund!!! I specifically used this app to attach music that I paid to download and it won’t attach. Worse slideshow app! Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Problématique *2022-05-31* Impossible de mettre du son… alors que cela est énoncé dans la description. Merci de réaliser une mise à jour. Cordialement. ### 1/5 — App crashes constantly *2022-05-25, version 7.1* I bought the HD app and it worked great now it’s no longer available in the store. I’ve created a new video in the HD app and now I cannot export it I can’t play it. I spent hours on this video and there has been no response from this company. Highly disappointed. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-04-27, version 7.1* Waste of money! Will not play music with pictures. So many glitches! Freezes up! Terrible app!! ### 1/5 — Slideshow pro *2021-08-14, version 7.1* Won’t let me delete app ### 1/5 — え？写真もビデオも？ *2021-02-05* 全然、映らない、進まない⁉️ 操作の仕方が悪いの⁉️ 以前のパージョンは問題なく作れたのに⁉️ もし、操作の仕方に問題が無く料金発生していたら〇〇 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Photo Slideshow Director *2025-07-07, version 7.1* As I make is very easy and useful. ### 5/5 — Excellent Slideshow maker *2025-07-06, version 7.1* I am very pleased with this slideshow making app. I bought it for only £3.99, whereas the other apps wanted a subscription. For the price, I thought it was worth giving it a go, and I’m pleased that I did. It was purchased to make a memory video for a family funeral and the app did exactly what I wanted it to do. It’s an excellent slideshow maker. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-06-28, version 7.1* this app is a little tricky to learn all the ways you can make a cool video…. But once you “learn the ropes” you could make some really wonderful videos. Kudos. ### 5/5 — Best video Ap ever *2025-03-04, version 7.1* This Ap is the best video making ap. It is so easy and fun to use and makes you look like a pro. I have made so many music videos for family members. They love them. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — s *2024-05-21, version 7.1* افضل تطبيق ارجو تحديثة. ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2023-10-20, version 7.1* Not a lot of bells and whistles but easy to use. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2023-03-26, version 7.1* Well worth it ### 5/5 — Funktioniert *2022-12-04* Könnte nur noch ein aktuelles Update vertragen. Sonst bin ich sehr zufrieden damit. ### 5/5 — Trés bon *2022-10-18* Prise en mains facile ### 5/5 — Only shows half the photos in my album *2022-04-05, version 7.1* My head is going to explode right now!! I just purchased this app and wanted to add photos from my photo app to make a slideshow but this app only shows half the pictures in the album I’m trying to create the slideshow for!! 🤯🤯🤯. I even created a new album with the pictures but used a different album name and that also only shows half the pictures!!! 🤬 why is this app only showing half the photos in the album??? If there is something I’m doing wrong, please let me know. I have to have this slideshow ready in 4 days!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
