I stumbled across this app. I did have to purchase it for a year, but the price was reasonable however, I wish it had more functionality I recently noticed that it upgraded. It’s transitions into more of a “Ken Burns style” but I wish there was an option to modify the transitions. It can be a little dizzying the way it flops from one slide to the next. I wish it had more controls over feeding images or sliding left or right versus Ken Burns. Please consider making this setting optional and modifiable. ### 4/5 — Easy *2026-07-21, version 1.44.0* So far so easy ### 5/5 — I loved it 🥰 *2026-07-21, version 1.44.0* Excelente app 🤩 ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-20, version 1.45.0* Wish you could do more than 15 photos for free ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-07-19, version 1.45.1* Brilliant ! ### 5/5 — Chicago *2026-07-19, version 1.44.0* Beautiful slideshow! ### 5/5 — Great Slideshow Maker!! *2026-07-18, version 1.45.0* Easy to use, easy to edit, great features & affordable for the year!

This does that and has a great range of styles and effects. You can compile a show on the fly in minutes. In addition, the developer added blank slides at my suggestion to allow intro and outro slides with text, all within 24 hours of me asking!! Not only do I like this very much, the price is great too, especially if you go for the annual subscription. ### 5/5 — New *2026-07-15, version 1.44.0* I this is my first time using app, I love it ### 5/5 — Not worth it *2026-07-14, version 1.44.0* The music selection they offer is horrible and you can’t add your own music selection ### 5/5 — User friendly with features *2026-07-10, version 1.43.0* Easy and intuitive.

Stop scamming people ### 1/5 — Can’t Move Photos in Frame. *2025-11-23, version 1.37.0* What a waste. I adjust assumed a modern slideshow app would allow photos to be moved in frame, so the crop could be properly adjusted depending on the frame size. This waste of an app does not allow that. What a joke. ### 1/5 — What a scam! *2025-11-08, version 1.37.0* I paid for a year’s subscription, and then the app froze on an upsell… there is no way to get around it, even with restarting my phone!
