Great App…
Greetings….found your app a week or so ago and was getting it (v2.3.11) tested on my iPad Pro (iPadOS 16.7.15) using the SMB connection option. All was working great and came back to leave a comment and noted v2.3.12 was available. Installed it, activated subscription and continued testing and have encountered issues using the SMB option -
- SMB protocol connection shows good
- indexing notes correct file count in selected folder
- upon entering slideshow, only a single image is displayed (using shuffle / fade modes). Image will only change with a complete relaunch of the app, but no image transitions.
The app has everything I need! Any suggestions?

Hello! Sorry, I introduced a bug in version 2.3.12. It has since been fixed in a later release, and the slideshow is now running smoothly again ;-) Thank you very much for the nice review!
Amazing app
For almost 4 years now, Pixette has been one of my favorite apps.
Every day, I use it on my iPad to enjoy the nearly 90,000 photos and videos stored on my Synology NAS. It truly feels like taking a beautiful trip down memory lane every single time.
A huge thank you to the developer for building this wonderful app and for always responding to user feedback so promptly and kindly.
I’m really grateful — keep up the amazing work!

Thank you so much for your review! Version 2 came with its share of bugs, and it's great to have dedicated users like you providing feedback to help me improve the app's stability 🙏
Great app
Being able to load and display photos on an iPad from a network-attached-storage device seems like an obvious thing to be able to do. And yet, no one until Pixette seems to have made that possible. But it is now, and it works very well. The developer’s instructions about setting up the NAS properly were clear and pretty easy to follow, even for someone like me who is not very knowledgeable about NAS drives. Plus I had a question or two and wrote to the developer about them—and was delighted to receive a prompt, courteous, and helpful reply. All in all, this is an excellent app that fills a real need.

Thank you very much for your kind review. I always try to support users with their specific use cases and continuously adapt Pixette so they can get the most out of their older devices !
Almost perfect
This app brought new life to an old iPod and is now way better than other dedicated hardware out there.
But we have had odd issues that keep it from being perfect…
First off, it seems that it doesn’t randomly play ALL files it finds. It’s indexed like 10k pictures but it seems like it rotates through the same small pile over and over. I will often see the same couple of pictures several times in a single day. With over 10k images that shouldn’t happen.
Second, this latest update has brought about some oddities.
It wiped out my server settings and it’s been awhile since I set that up so had to remember all that.
Next, and probably worst so far, the sleep function now doesn’t work as it once did. It used to turn the screen off completely but now it just sits at an illuminated black screen, which uses more power and puts off light all night. Weird.
Hopefully these small bits get resolved as overall we love it.
Update: Recent update seems to have fixed the sleeping and waking. No more illuminated screen and doesn’t seem to crash tying to wake up anymore.
Back to perfect!

Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm continuously working on improving the situation. I'm taking some days off for the holidays but I'll return to it ASAP to fix the sleep mode. Last days, I was working trying to bring stability for older iOS 12.5.7 devices. Basically, the random function shuffles all images into a random list and then goes through it. I could implement a reshuffle once the whole list has been played once to improve the experience 👍 Thank you for your support 🙏

New update appears to have broken the app
Has been working perfectly and is a great app but the new update deletes the current configuration and requires setting up again. Also, the app freezes every so often and stops displaying new images. Forcing it to get the next image works but the slide show still doesn’t roll over to any images automatically.

Évolution constante
sur Pc j’ai « Photo immersion » et sur mon iPad cette app. J’apprécie beaucoup que le développeur fait évoluer très régulièrement cette app.
Worth every penny
Perfect it every thing it dose. New update is fantastic

Thank you! Glad to hear everything works well for you 😊
Excellent Slideshow App
This app is excellent at doing exactly what I need it to do - repurpose my older iPad and iPhone devices as digital photo frames.
Latest version has some issues
Great app and was working perfectly until the latest update.
The developer has completely re-written the app and this has caused a few issues for my setup:
- Lost all my app settings after the update, including WebDAV connection info, so had to set up all three of my frames from scratch
- Exif info font is now huge and covers far too much of my photos. There doesn’t appear to be a way to change this
The developer has, however, quickly resolved a couple of other issues and is very responsive to feedback, so my thanks for that!
It really is a great app, which I’m happy to support with the small subscription the developer charges for full access.

Mega App! Etwas mehr Sicherheit erwünscht
Super App! Ich nutze es als Digitalen Bilderrahmen zum anzeigen von Fotos eines Nextcloud accounts. Um den Großeltern aktuelle Bilder ihrer Enkel anzuzeigen, ohne das Fotos zu einem Drittanbieter hochgeladen werden müssen. Einfach in der Nextcloud einen extra Benutzer anlegen nur für Fotos. Im Anschluss kann man in den iPhones einfach diesen zweiten Nextcloud Account hinzufügen um dort Bilder hochzuladen. Die App erkennt die Bilder automatisch und fügt sie in die Diashow ein. Ist die Nextcloud über eine Domain öffentlich verfügbar funktioniert das eben auch von überall und nicht nur im lokalen Netzwerk.
Wünschenswerte Features: Damit die angezeigten Bilder NICHT über den Teilen-Button weitergeleitet werden, sollte der Button deaktivierbar und das wieder einschalten passwortgeschützt sein.
Generell sollte es Einstellungen geben, die nicht ohne Passwort einzustellen sind (zum Beispiel kann das Passwort der Serververbindung im Klartext ausgelesen werden.)
Dann werden es sofort auch 5 Sterne.

Indexing keeps restarting and crash in v2.0
Hello,
I have approximately 1.7 million photos and videos. Up until version 1.17, the app indexed all of them without any issues. However, starting from version 2.0, the app crashes when the indexing is almost complete. After restarting, it begins indexing all over again.
Please fix this issue.

Top mit Schwächen
Tolle App – besonders durch die Möglichkeit, Fotos direkt von der NAS oder aus der iCloud einzubinden! Die Verbindung funktioniert reibungslos, und die Diashow läuft stabil und zuverlässig.
Was noch verbessert werden könnte:
Die Uhrzeit wird aktuell nur sehr klein oben in der Mitte angezeigt – genau dort, wo auf vielen Fotos helle Bereiche wie der Himmel sind. Dadurch ist sie oft schwer zu erkennen. Leider lässt sich weder die Position noch die Größe der Uhr anpassen. Das ist wirklich schade, denn mit dieser Funktion ließe sich die App perfekt als digitaler Bilderrahmen nutzen.

Nickel pour recycler une tablette
Une appli bien pratique pour ceux qui sauvent leurs photos sur leur propre NAS. Cela permet de les redécouvrir 😉
Un plus serait de ne pas se limiter aux tablettes mais de caster sur nos écrans TV 🤩
Bravo pour le job 👍

Great App
Worth every penny great app
Works great, subscription is a big nope!
I will stick with the free version… out of principal I will not support a subscription model… happy to pay a one off fee but that isn’t an option.
Works really well
Purchased premium was fantastic
Neues Leben fürs alte IPad
Tolle App um seine Fotos so nebenbei zu präsentieren. Unser altes IPad hängt in der Küche und die Familie versammelt sich regelmäßig um in Erinnerung zu schwelgen. Ein Punkt Abzug gibt es für das Abo Modell. Schön wäre es, wenn eine Lifetime Lizenz erworben werden könnte.
