Photo Album Widget

I made a specific album to display photo on a medium size widget. On this album all image are resized with aspect ration corresponding to medium size widget but this application is doing a mess of this album : photo displayed with arbitrary aspect ratio and badly cropped (cutting face)

Added the widget, selected an album, all was good. With widget is just a grey square on my screen.

I was so excited to find this because it was exactly what I was looking for. I put all the pictures I wanted in an album but then the widget wouldn’t allow me to select an album. It just simply didn’t work for me. I can adjust all the other settings, tried restarting my phone, but it just doesn’t work. So I tried it on my iPad, but got the same issue. Wondering if there’s a conflict with a recent update? Hoping it will get fixed because the design is perfect and simple and again exactly what I was looking for

The Photo Album widget is not showing up on iOS 17. Unusable. EDIT: The widget randomly showed up several hours later. It pulls from my shared album exactly as I hoped! The photo frame options are weird. And I wish you could click a photo and have it go directly to that photo in the Photos app, rather than in the widget app. But now I can have a shared album as a widget!

I wanted a widget that would pull images from ALL of the photos on my phone without creating an album and display them randomly. I downloaded multiple widget apps, and this was the only one that had that capability! I wish it were possible to selection an option to see the displayed image amongst all of the photos in your album, but that doesn’t seem possible here, nor were any of the other widgets capable of that which seems a little odd to me, but glad this is able to do what it does.

Now I don’t have to create separate albums! I was annoyed with all the other photo widgets out there that required making an album in their app. I wanted a widget that gets pics directly from albums in the Photos app, and this is perfect! I picked this one over another one because it has configurable refresh times! (fyi, “Efect” is misspelled, it should have two f’s, “Effect”! ☺️)

This app is simple, and does what I want. I added photos to create an album. That album can now be displayed in four different formats on my iPad desktop. Great. However, I do not see how to edit this album that is created. Perhaps I have to delete the app, reinstall, and start over. Also, it would be good if we could change the timing of photo changes from 15 minutes to a smaller number, like 5 minutes.
