Perfect!

A thank you to the developer!
This app is great! Does just what I need it to with a simple interface.

Love this widget

Hopefully this will support XL widgets coming in iOS 27! Been using this widget flawlessly for years cant live without it.

Awesome

Love this app !
Thanks !!

Very Nice App

Simple and intuitive and a great way to make your iPhone homescreen lively and personalized. 5/5

Excellent and beautiful

Very easy to use and I love how the widget has time options to change to the next photo on the widget. Totally recommend.

Good app just one annoyance

I really like it the only thing that’s kind of annoying is the pictures will change sometimes even when I don’t tap to change

free no ads

separate albums would be nice

iPhone gut, iPad leider nicht

Funktioniert auf dem iPhone super, aber leider nicht auf dem iPad (beides iOS 18.7.1).
Habe in beiden Fällen dieselben Einstellungen für das Widget ausgewählt (All Photos, Tap Action: Show Photo) aber leider wird das Widget auf dem iPad, auch nach Neustart, nur als weiße Kachel angezeigt.

Could be better

Yes, seemingly the best photos app with the least privacy intrusions, but while it suggests you can use your full photos collection, that’s not the case. You have to manually select what you want to show.
How is it possible windows phone got this right, but 10 years later, no one has managed it again?

英語表記でよくわからない

日本語対応にしてください
設定方法がわけわかりません
あと1分間隔に設定したのに
いつまでもおなじ写真。意味ない。

Response from developer

The language of the app is clearly listed on the App Store page. The app also clearly explain why 1 minute interval may not always work.

Non si vedono le foto

All’inizio l’app funzionava bene, ma dopo che ho eliminato il widget e l’ho rimesso non si vedono le immagini (anche dopo svariati giorni). Per favore aggiustate questo bug

Used to work great

Suspect this has to do with terrible apple photos redesign but it seems like I have to individually select pictures I want in the widget now. I can’t just pick a list (eg favorites). I can go to favorites but then I have to select pictures one by one. This defeats the purpose of using the widget to show my pictures I haven’t seen in a long time. I used to love this but it’s not longer useful to me with this change.

Family

I get to see a variety of family members many times a day. I love it!

Bin zufrieden

Gute App. Macht, was sie soll.

leider nicht immer zuverlässig …

App hat ein merkwürdiges Eigenleben: mal werden ausgewählte Fotos angezeigt, mal nicht …

Cool but can we change one thing please

So I’m using this to show my favourite albums and use url links to Apple Music. But can you change the text underneath the photos instead of saying “photo widget” I’d like the name of the album I wanna play. Thanks for the great app!!!!!

Images did not transfer from iPhone 14 Pro Max to iPhone 16 Pro Max

Definitely does not transfer images from iPhone 14 Pro Max to iPhone 16 pro Max. Everything else transfers to my new phone but the images I put into this app did not transfer & the creator of the app is no help at all…just be careful when upgrading to a new phone you might have to re import the images all over again & re do everything all over again…
Update: The app actually DOES NOT work, yes I contacted the creator but was no help at all, I waited for 3 day the images did not transfer over & had to redo it over again!! Be careful when trying to update it from older phones your images might not transfer over it happened to me. This is a great app when it works but transferring to a new phone it will not transfer your images…

Need Removing the Import Restriction

App only allows 100 photos to be imported from the Files app. I have several projects storing more than 2k photos. Can you make the Widget Album or simple a Widget link to a specific folder in Files app to show all photos? Not necessarily ‘Import from Files’.

Größe der Widgets

Hallo, ich habe mir die App neu heruntergeladen und hätte eine Frage. Wie kann man die Größe der Widgets einstellen?
Bei mir ist ein sehr großes Widget, dass meinen halben Home Bildschirm einnimmt, und ich würde gern die Größe regulieren. Ich wäre sehr dankbar, wenn Sie mir antworten könnten.

Response from developer

This is only possible with iOS 18, which will be out soon. For iOS 17, you need to remove the widget and add a new one.
