This ap is really great when it works. Unfortunately it works on only two of the four devices I have tried it on. Works on my Samsung Galaxy S8 and S9 phones. Will not load wallpaper on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 and Tab S6 tablets. For the tablets I have had to switch to "Auto Change Wallpaper" which does not have quite as good functionality, but what good is functionality if the app does not work! UPDATE: The current version seems to be working on my tablets!!!!

I couldn't get location based album changes to work, which is what I wanted it for. I think the time based album change works. I probably will still use this but have to remember to switch albums when I leave home. I'm wondering if it is using too precise of a location like I have to be within 2 feet of whatever coordinates got recorded as the location. But it uses an address, not coordinates. I wish it showed a radius on the map of where it is supposed to do the album change.

Gave it 5 stars three years ago and I'm following up now for why - This app is simple, straightforward, and does exactly what you want it to. You just put your pictures in a folder on your phone, create an album in the app, and tie the album to the phone folder. There's a shuffle option, a duration option, and much more. You can even create multiple albums to mix-and-match what pictures appear as wallpapers. Awesome app overall.
