There is no reason why it shouldn’t. ### 5/5 — Best app for simple photo streaming *2018-01-31, version 10.3* 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! ### 2/5 — Pixelated thumbnails *2018-01-30, version 10.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Works great, hoping for an update! *2017-04-15, version 8.0* 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? ### 2/5 — No auto start *2016-07-06, version 8.0* Does not start automatically with Windows 7. Very slow and sluggish ### 1/5 — Not ready for the iPad Pro *2016-01-05, version 8.0* The UI is scaled up and it frankly looks really bad on an iPad Pro. The Dev should’ve updated it by now. ### 2/5 — Works fine when it works, but SLOW *2015-08-08, version 8.0* Extremely slow to update thumbnails. Sometimes, just wont do it. Only shows white squares. Sometimes wont show the photo... says there is a network problem. Hardly true, since nothing else on the network is slow. When it works, displays crisp, clear photos to the iPad. Could use Google Chromecast support. Need a way to cast the photos onto the TV. Has not been updated since 10/2014. Over 10 months at this point. Way too long for a poorly working app with such potential. ### 1/5 — Breaks and doesn’t recover *2014-11-10, version 8.0* On my largeish photo library, if it streams more than ~ 5,000 photos and then you close the app, it will never open again. It just spends forever loading and then crashes. This happens on an iPad 2 and 3 - the only way to fix it is to reinstall. Contacted the developer a week ago and never heard back. Super disappointing, because it is the only shuffling photostreaming app I’ve found otherwise. ### 5/5 — The Best! *2014-10-10, version 8.0* I have tried all apps that claim to do what this one does and none come close! Also the developer was kind enough to add ANIMATED GIF support! On that note I absolutely must commend the developer. He is extremely friendly and maintains this app in a way I've not seen any other developer. If Apple releases an update or new functionality [64-Bit] he will have an update out within days! I cannot thank you enough dev! Thank you for update! ## Frequently asked questions about PhotoStreamr ### What does PhotoStreamr do?
