User reviews
Paid for premium version but didn't activate premium features for a few days. Contacted customer support, but they weren't helpful. But a couple of days later, it started working. This app is good but needs better slideshow transitions, such as the Ken Burns effect. The transitions it has are very choppy.

not useful at all - it didn't work - only showed 20 photos even with the premium service.

Ok, what is fair is fair, it's working now on the premium version, is not really smooth, but it's ok, interesting functions like "explore" , but only 4 stars because not zoom function, wich it would be very usefull for me, and i've seen it in orhers apps, like photo guru...
