Transitions

Hi, I'm considering whether I should get this app after trialling the similar LiveFrame. Does the shuffle function work better in soloslides? Also, is there any plans to introduce transitions/fade between photos and to hide the loading circle symbol?

Thanks

Chris

At the Moment transitions are on the roadmap but no plan for when to build it.
Yes shuffle works better than liveframe, please see other posts here for how shuffle works .... basically at tbe beginning while the app is slowly crawling your library it will be pseudorandom... then after it has finished it will be more random. Google does not allow storing album data so if you restart the app it will do the crawl again. In practice this just means that if you restart the app, you are more likely to see the same photos as last time you restarted the app.

Thanks, have you published the roadmap for future developments we can expect?

There's no roadmap for a small simple app like this, because no one's business depends on it. We only publish roadmaps for apps that people bet their businesses on, like Booth.Events
If you don't like the transitions now and the pricetag is making you think about it, then i'd hold off from buying it until you see what you want.

That's fine, you just mentioned a roadmap in your reply so I was interested to know what was planned. I've just bought the app and to be honest, the transitions between images work fine for me as do the shuffling. Thanks.
