Either in this app or make a new one just for slideshows 🙏 ### 4/5 — New features pleas *2025-10-16* Option: Randomly select until it’s gone through every photo. Don’t repeat until all have been seen. Option: then loop once every photo has been seen once ### 5/5 — Simple with Miracle! *2025-06-12, version 1.8* The app is lightweight and simple. It supports my 15 years old iPad. I really appreciate the developer for creating this wonderful app! ^_^ ### 4/5 — Better than iOS 18 slideshow. *2024-12-26* Can’t find any way to contact Developer other than writing a review. Questions: 1) Any way to stop early other than force lquit? 2) Any Pause/Resume? Suggestions: 3) Default to previous selection or to Offer of previous selection. 4) folder picker feels like wasted space/ ancient. 5) allow custom input of slide duration. Thanks ### 1/5 — No longer works *2024-11-18, version 1.8* This app does not work with iOS 18 on iPhone. Too bad I used to use it frequently. ### 2/5 — App crashing *2024-07-25, version 1.8* The app crashes on iOS 17.5 when trying to select an album to start a slideshow from. I can currently only start a slideshow from my favorites album because that is the default album. ### 1/5 — This app has filled my iPhone library *2023-11-10, version 1.8* If you use this App, the iPhones Photos App library will fill endlessly with previous synched photos. There is no way to delete these pictures afterwards. So your library will fill your iPhone with data. Plus, there is no support for this App and no way to contacts developper. I really do NOT reccommend this App. ### 4/5 — Simple way to see my pictures randomly *2023-11-05* I use this app on my iPad to see the many pictures I've taken, sort of a review of the many places I've been. Now it is available on my Mac Studio and I will use it often. This functionality should have been added to Photos a long time ago. The Mac version can't see smart albums like the IMac version can. This would be a welcome fix. A suggestion, I can find no app that properly displays panoramas. When this app or any detects a panorama it should fit the smaller dimension to the display and then smoothly scroll Ken Burns style across the long dimension. ### 1/5 — ehhhhh! *2023-10-14, version 1.8* You can’t choose pictures from an external hard drive or flash stick??? Only what is on your ipad! Very primitive. Kind of like the state of the art LG TV not having a previous channel button on their remote. 😵‍💫 it’s 2023 almost 2024. wake up!!! ### 4/5 — Very nice and easy to use. *2023-09-20, version 1.8* Would love to eventually see it AirPlay to TV ## Frequently asked questions about Random Slideshow ### What does this app do?
