### 3/5 — Mostly love

*2026-08-24, version 1.2.5*

I love being to see my favorite pictures easily changing. It’s always a surprise. 
I HATE the black banner wanting me to share that album. I’ve tried several things to remove it but no change. This needs to be addressed.

### 2/5 — Pretty bad

*2026-08-23, version 1.2.5*

I’m not into the way it crops the widgets and the dates/pop ups in the the widget are obstructive and intrusive

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-08-23, version 1.2.5*

The amount of ads is ridiculous

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-08-18, version 1.2.5*

Does everything it needs to

### 5/5 — Я считаю что

*2026-08-13, version 1.2.5*

Шикарное приложение хоть и с рекламой но все ровно удобно

### 1/5 — Реклама

*2026-08-10*

Ужасно

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-08-09, version 1.2.5*

Ads pop up so fast that you can’t do ANYTHING without paying for the subscription. Ads won’t close when they’re done playing. The app used to be good, now it’s useless.

### 2/5 — ads

*2026-08-08, version 1.2.5*

the ads are actually so annoying i don’t see why this needs to happen when it’s just ruining my phone and im seriously not willing to pay for no ads.

### 2/5 — Great App

*2026-07-31, version 1.2.4*

Ads have been added. Major bummer.

One thing - when you open the app can it just land on the screen which has the + sign - currently the app opens on a single photo and adds more clicks to get to main screen to load a photo.

### 3/5 — RANDOM SHUFFLE PLEASE

*2026-07-30*

Please give us an option for random shuffle of the pictures. Other than that app is perfect!!

**Developer response:** Hallo! Es freut uns total zu hören, dass die App für dich so angenehm ist und du sie als bisher beste kostenlose Option siehst. Dein Wunsch nach einer echten Auto-Shuffle-Funktion für Alben ist absolut nachvollziehbar, denn genau das macht das Wechseln so lebendig. Danke, dass du das so konkret beschreibst, das hilft uns sehr. Wenn du magst, teile uns bitte die Details zu dem Shuffle-Verhalten, das du beobachtest, an support@impalastudios.com mit, damit wir es gezielt prüfen können. Wir schauen uns das Shuffle-Verhalten an, damit die Bilder genau so gemischt werden, wie du es dir vorstellst!
