Turn an album from your iPhone's Photos app into a slideshow — on CarPlay, and as a widget on your iPhone's Home Screen. Apple's built-in Photos widget shows a single photo that never changes. Dashframe keeps cycling through the album you choose. WHAT IT DOES • Prepare up to 3 albums, and show a different one in each widget • Works with folders from the Files app (iCloud Drive and more), not just Photos albums • "Memories of this season" — automatically pulls photos taken around today's date from your whole library • Detects faces and crops photos so they aren't cut off • Automatically excludes screenshots • Add or remove photos, then just open the app to pick up the change • Optionally show the month and year each photo was taken • Choose an interval from 5 seconds to 2 minutes • "Daily" order reshuffles the sequence every day PRIVACY Dashframe makes no network connections at all. Your photos never leave your device — only a resized copy of the album you choose is stored locally. WORKS WITH • CarPlay widgets • iPhone Home Screen widgets (small, medium, and large) • Japanese / English

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Dashframe at none against ++SlideShow's shown. Dashframe also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). ++SlideShow's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
