User reviews

Pc app just crashes

Runs and then immediately crashes when mousing over the icon.

Desperately needs to support Apple TV

This application needs to support the Apple TV natively. There is no reason why it shouldn’t.

Best app for simple photo streaming

I've been using this app for years, and was so glad to see it updated for iOS 11 compatibility. It's easy to configure and use, features animated GIF support (something shockingly ignored by most competing apps) and has good support from the devs. I can't recommend it enough!

Pixelated thumbnails

While old version of the app (from 2014) was pretty good the new one (from 2018) produces extremely pixelated thumbnails. So pixelated that it looks like 8 bit graphics. So pity. I really wish the new version get at least as good as the old one was.

Works great, hoping for an update!

I've used this software along with a mac mini, the server software and my NAS to stream and view photos on all our iOS devices. After the last update though it seems this software will no linger be allowed to run on future versions of iOS without an update...soooo, will there be an update?
