Pixette – Slideshow for NAS

Constantly loosing a connection with server. Reconnection takes up to 30 minutes, sometimes cannot reconnect at all. I know that the developer will blame user, but other WebDAV clients in my network work fine with a stable connectivity. However, the idea of the app is excellent.

I needed an app to turn an old iPad into a slideshow / digital frame. There are a lot of photos / they won’t fit on the local storage of the old iPad. Set this app up to view the share on my nas, indexed and it worked like a champ. I am having a small issue now where the no WiFi icon is showing up but it continues to play and restarting the app seems to clear it.

Thanks Mischa for your creative app for Synology NAS users. I have been searching for random photo application and found your app. It has been two weeks and our family is reliving our memories for many years. I have more than 100k photos in my collection. If any of you have a Synology NAS with lots of photos and videos, Pixette is your app!

The app overall is awesome. Easy to setup

I installed Pixette a few months ago on my old iPad and it’s been a lot of fun to see all my old pictures come alive. In fact, I liked it so much that I bought another secondhand iPad just to have the slideshow in two rooms. And both times whenI had a technical issue I reached out to the developer and was helped quickly.

The app does not seem to function on my iPad, it does not open, goes into a black screen and then crashes. Would like a refund please. Update June 3: Concerned resolved in Test Flight, love the app now, thanks!

My problem - Synology NAS drive with almost 70K photos accumulated over 20+ years and no easy way to view them. Could not find any digital photo frames that could talk to local file server, so got gently used iPad and with this app turned it into very decent slideshow device. Setup was quite straightforward (help link helped) - you need to add WebDAV package to Synology and create user for the app. It discovered all the photos and handled them just fine ( FileBrowserGO app I tried first could not handle slideshow of that size ). As a suggestion - may be make it easier to discover network drives in future versions?
