Discussion

Dayframe Photo SlideshowsDayframe is a splendid photo frame/all-in-one slideshow app. It features a very neat, stable and responsive user interface with user-friendly menus and options. You can also customize it in such a way that you can load your own collection of high-quality images and wallpapers.

What I like about this app is that it is designed to automatically play when your device is on idle mode. So there’s no need for you to manually load the app every time you want to play your photo slideshows. Aside from this, the app also features a wide collection of remarkably beautiful photographs so you will never run out of photos to load. You are even free to choose the photo streams that you want to load.

When using the app for the very first time, you will be prompted to select the type of photo stream that you want load. Each stream represents a specific category such as nature, travel, deep space, sports, food, etc. You can select up to three streams but you can add more as soon as you’re done with the app’s initial set-up. After which, the app will automatically load a stream of photos which are related to the categories that you have selected. Just tap the photo to view it on full screen or simply click the “Play” button to view the entire photo slideshow. Aside from this, you can also configure the app to show the photo’s original creator, avatar and captions.

Once you’re done, you can just leave your device on your desk or wherever you like. It will load your photo streams automatically so there’s no need for you to monitor or update its settings frequently. It is very convenient to use and it’s great for people who wish to utilize their old or unused tablets.

I’ve been using this app for quite some time now and so far, I have no problems using it. I just wish that it could add more features and options such as allowing its users to change the clock position and opacity. It would also be great if a user can randomly load or shuffle the photos in the photo streams. This app also needs to add more options for slideshow transitions.

Conclusion and Download Link

All in all, I can say that Dayframe for Android is a great photo frame app. It is very convenient to use plus it lets you load a stream of beautiful and high-quality images. It’s great for people who are constantly thinking of ways to utilize their old or unused tablets as well as to those who simply wish to load something on their tablet’s screen while it’s on idle mode. There may be certain features that this app needs to become more user-friendly but as of now, it’s already doing a good job. As for those who wish to utilize the app’s full features including its custom playlists and timers, I highly recommend that you upgrade to its pro version which is called as Dayframe Prime.
