Flashback Photo Shuffle
Read full descriptionHide 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.Β Sounds simple, right? I thought so too. And yet, I couldn't find a photo shuffle app that wasn't garbageβthey 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.
PicturePresenter

Picture Presenter shows your photos on a projector, TV or monitor connected via HDMI or AirPlay β filling the screen at native resolution, without the black bars of screen mirroring. THE PROBLEM When you plug an iPhone into a projector, iOS normally mirrors the screen: the entire 19.5:9 iPhone display is fitted onto the canvas, leaving black bars left and right and making your photo small. THE SOLUTION Picture Presenter takes over the external display with its own window. A 16:9 projector becomes a true 16:9 canvas, a 16:10 monitor a 16:10 canvas β always at the highest mode the display offers. Your iPhone stays the remote control: the big screen only ever shows the picture, never the controls. FEATURES β’ Browse your library, your own albums and favorites β’ Fullscreen viewer just like the Photos app: swipe to flip through, every picture appears instantly on the big display β’ Fit (whole picture visible) or fill (edge to edge, cropped) β’ Choose the matte color for bars: black, white or gray β’ Slideshow with configurable duration per picture and transition β true crossfade or push β’ Info view with capture details (date, location, camera, exposure, resolution) β optionally as an overlay on the big picture β’ Quick collection: tap pictures in selection mode to assemble your own presentation set β stored across launches β’ iCloud photos are downloaded automatically at full resolution when needed, with a progress bar CONNECTION & REQUIREMENTS β’ iOS 17 or later β’ USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode): iPhone 15 and later β native signal, up to 4K depending on device β’ Lightning: Apple Digital AV Adapter β up to 1080p β’ AirPlay: streaming to an Apple TV is supported as well The app owns the display while it is open; on the home screen iOS mirrors again. PRIVACY Your photos stay on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking, no data collection.
