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.

Gallery Features*

** Screensaver Features
- Photos load in the background for seamless playback.

- Navigate between photos whilst daydreaming.
- Photos are chosen intelligently based on when they were taken and last viewed.

Having trouble after factory resetting tv - I love this app in general but we just factory reset on our TV and now it says that I'm limited in my screensaver settings even though a second TV in the home shows it being purchased, so trying to figure out how to get it back on my resetted TV. Also can't seem to find anywhere to contact the developer and ask.

This app used to work very well as a screen saver. Then it stopped working as a screen saver for Chromecast key 6 months ago. I paid for the app to ensure that it was fully functional and I emailed the developer twice last November and December but never received any response. Seems like this app has been abandoned since there have been no updates since July 2022.

This app is great! I use it as a photo frame on my television to display family photos/videos via my Nvidia Shield Pro. The only problem with it, is recently it started showing an incorrect date for all my videos, it says they were all taken "January 18, 1970". Which is very strange and random. I hope it gets patched soon. Other than this issue, it's great. There's a lot of features and options to personalize it.
