App summary
Supporting photos from your device, as well as online sources such as Google Photos.
In-app purchase required - the screensaver is limited to the 50 oldest photos in your library, and the gallery won’t let you view photos and videos full screen. This lets you test the app at your leisure before purchasing if you choose to.
Browse your photos and videos easily, offering a great way to view and share albums on your big screen. Please note that this app is optimised for the TV and will not navigate nicely on a touch device!
Showcase your photos as an Android TV Daydream/Screensaver/Slideshow.
