About

Flashback Photo Shuffle

Read full description

You know how your iPhone has like 47,000 photos in it? And you never look at any of them? And then you're bored at the airport and you think "I should look at some old photos" and then you open your camera roll and scroll for 3 seconds and give up? Flashback fixes that. This app lets you take a trip down memory lane by... shuffling your photos. Sounds simple, right? I thought so too. And yet, I couldn't find a photo shuffle app that wasn't garbage—they all had annoying "features" like sound effects or a giant "Shuffle" button you had to press every time you want to see a new photo. So I made Flashback. It's simple: 1. Choose an album to shuffle, or shuffle all photos 2. Tap the right side of the screen to show the next photo 3. Tap the left side of the screen to show the previous photo 4. There is no step 4 You can also add simple transitions between photos (fade or slide), mark photos as favorites, and share photos. There's also a basic editor with cropping and rotation, so when you come across a photo that needs to be flipped or trimmed, you can make the fix right in the app.
