20150908: Issue cleared up in the evening. Server maintenance? Great app! Initially installed on a Chromebook to use as a digital frame and then on a Samsung tablet as well. Both devices accessed pictures stored in OneDrive. Worked perfectly until today: both devices are no longer able to connect to Onedrive. Each device is in a separate location on different networks. Help?
I was using another screen saver app on my two Android TV miboxs using LAN/SMB as a source. For some reason it wouldn't rotate images that require rotation. This app rotates them fine and also includes additional features like displaying current weather and detailed address where the photo was taken. Awesome app. 5 stars easy. EDIT 2/28/26: Pan issue has been fixed! Wow, fixed in 3 days! Thank you! Nice to have if the videos showed locations as well like the photos do!
Too many annoyances with free version. I expected this to have ads for the free version. I expected to have to watch an ad before I could upload pics or when I started the app. I expected the app to show me ads when I closed it too. Well they did worse... I have those ads and AND during the middle of slideshows, I get a new screen with a 5 minute timer on it counting down. "Upgrade to remove timer". No, I'll just uninstall and use a better service.
One of the only photo frame apps available. I wanted to use it on an old tablet that I am converting to a photo frame. I like that it has a scheduling feature. I wish the app had the option to select photos by exif data tags, so that the same photo could be in multiple "albums". The upgrade button doesn't work/do anything, so I am unable to get rid of the breaks and limited number of skips, which is annoying.
I absolutely love this app! It's straightforward and easy to use. I was trying to find an app that would turn my pictures into a screensaver even when not charging. I was able to choose as many folders as I wanted with an unlimited amount of pics. This doesn't wear my battery down, and I can still look at my favorite pictures even when not in use. I have the Samsung Galaxy 24 Ultra. I definitely 100% recommend this app.
This does a great job of displaying pics with lots of options. You need to buy the premium option to avoid the 5 minute time-out, but if you plan to use this frequently, it is worth it. Plays well with other programs. It does have the ability to play music, but only on-board mp3 files. I'd like to see the same network support for music that it uses for pictures. As is, I start another music player and then run Fotoo. I'm using this with the Nvidia Shield to display rolling pics on the big screen
It works quite well 99% of the time. Some albums in Google Photos don't play nice, and but the great support from the developer helped a lot. I love the transition effects. Really, it is quite good and nothing to add to it. The odd issue with certain images in Google Photos is easy to work around by pulling them back down (download to device).
I bought this app in order to convert three of my devices into digital photo frames. Unfortunately, the purchase only registered on one of my devices, and failed to recognize that I bought the premium version on the other two devices, no matter what I tried. I emailed support about the issue over a month ago, and still have heard no response from them. The app works well on the one device, however I felt that I was too pricey for a single device, so I am disappointing that I had such a small success rate.
The interface is fairly simplistic, but there is a fault that if there is a video within the photo albums that you pointing to within Google Photos for example will cause the app to be stuck and not advance to the next photo. At least from what I have seen on an Android system (Sony TV). A bit better than others I have tried, but still a lot of room for fine tuning.
Not a bad slideshow app. It really needs brightness control through gestures though, like most of these types of app have. Answer: I keep my phone brightness at a constant setting, not automatic. Regardless, I may want to adjust the brightness on the fly just for the slideshow based on changing light conditions, or the types of images being displayed.
Almost perfect; great feature set and easy to use and customize; I really wished the weather icons were higher quality -- I really wanted the text to be 100% size but the icons look pixelated at that size (only around 50% do they look okay). I'm considering purchasing the full version but that's stopping me as my primary goal is a clock/weather display for an old tablet. The only other change I would love is the ability to select recent photos from Google Photos instead of just albums, but I'm not sure if that's a Google photos issue or this app.
I am a paid user. I initially gave Fotoo a poor rating and review because it was not working correctly with my 11K+ "live" Google Photo album. (Google Photo enables you to create a dynamic "live" album based on people you have tagged. When it identifies those people in recently added photos, it automatically adds them to the live album.) I wanted to run Fotoo using the Photo Order Earliest First. But whenever it got to the latest photo, it would loop back only a few thousand photos, not to the earliest photo. So, I got in touch with Bo, the developer behind Fotoo, and he couldn't have been more helpful. We spent several weeks exchanging emails trying to diagnose the problem. He sent me several beta versions with logging turned on so he could see what was happening. I even did time-lapse photography of the picture frame running Fotoo so I could see which picture it was looping back to. Eventually, after reviewing the log files, Bo was able to uncover a bug that was causing the issue. Now the Fotoo app is working perfectly for me. If you want a feature rich "digital picture frame" app that works well with Google Photos, and which has awesome customer support, get the paid version of Fotoo!
Hands down the most professional and well-thought out $2 app I've ever purchased. Very configurable and just about all the features you can imagine .I've converted old 2 tablets and 2 phones to picture frames at work and at home and enjoy seeing family, friend, and vacation photos throughout the day. My wishlist items are adding the abilities to: 1) Share the current picture (IM, email, copy, etc.) 2) "Favorite" or somehow mark and/or group/label the current picture 3) Rotate the current picture (fix rotation issues) 4) Ban, delete, or move the current picture to trash 5) Some sort of collage mode or 3D spinning picture cube would be cool
Excellent. This is exactly what I was looking for to use an old tablet as a photo frame. I am showing photos from an SMB share on my server. A few suggestions: 1. Publish on the Amazon App store so this can be easily used on the cheapo Fire tablets (even if this would mean no Google Drive/Photos) 2. Offer an option to show two photos side by side if they don't match the screen orientation. (i.e. two portraits side by side when the tablet is in landscape). 3. Customizable date formats.
Premium version too expensive. The article I read about turning an old tablet into a photo frame noted the premium version was $2.00 which sounded more than reasonable. When I went to try and upgrade, it shows it is a $40 cost. No thank you. It seems to do what I want, although it has hung up several times the first few hours I have trialed it, where it would not advance to the next photo. I am not investing $40 into this. It really shouldn’t be more than $10. will look for another app.
Hey Bopp Studio, great job on the app with a very friendly UI and many cool features like scheduled on/off, transition, decoration, and especially, pulling images from local network via SMB. However, a one missing must-have feature that most stand-alone digital picture frames have, is the motion sensing on/off. I mean, in most cases, there is no point of displaying the images (and wasting power) if no one is around to see them. So Bopp Studio, can you add motion sensing on/off? Thanks!
The app connects to all my sources but it doesn't show any of my images. They are jpeg format. I've tried drop box, google drive and photo. Same results. Am I missing something? This seems to be straight forward but seems more complicated then it needs to be. If its human error, I will gladly change my review. But for now, this does nothing.
Really like it. Works great for turning an old Nexus 10 into something useful again. The only thing I could ask for is network integration with SMB 3 since that is what my server is setup to use. I was able to make things work by just using Syncthing to copy the pictures over to the tablet so if I want to add or remove something it's fairly simple. I already use Syncthing for a ton of stuff so adding some more storage points is not a huge deal. I understand that some people will be fine using one of the cloud services but on a metered or slow connection that can start to become an issue. And windows 10 machines are SMB 3 unless you jump through a ton of hoops which will scare off the average user. With that said I love how it works and will probably set up another old tablet to work the same way for my mother in law to have. Then my wife can add and remove pictures whenever she wants and they can transfer over for her to enjoy. I have tested everything out and added about 100 pictures to what I have setup so far and within a few minutes the new ones are being displayed so this will be very nice indeed and worth the extra 2.00 to have all the features.
I wanted an app to show my family photos over the last 15 years that I have painfully put in appropriate folder and album order. Bought another product that I thought would show my 1000s of pics in order. Didn't work and I saw this app for tablets. Developer support was incredible and I am now seeing my pictures in order! Buy this, it is great.
This is a decent app with great scheduling options, however, I take issue with the paywall. You get 20 minutes of slideshow followed by 5 minutes of a fullscreen timer, which is frustrating. The fee for unlocking is $40. That's ludicrous. I could see having a watermark or something but the long timeout and exorbitant pricing is sending me looking for an alternative solution. PixFolio is the replacement I found. It's way cheaper and works great.
