Smart Photo Widget

Beautiful

When I choose a folder, it takes literally over 15 minutes for this app to open the photos from the folder. It crashes all the time. And the widgets always freeze and are mostly blank, rather than showing photos. It might work if you have a few thousand photos in your library, but if you have a large photo library, stay away.

This is only one of two photo apps the currently work well and it forces the user to get there photos from the Apple Photos App, with no option to get images from other imporant places like (1) the Finder (2) iCloud Drive ... etc there should be options for this. this app is useless to me without this functionality. I give each developer that beneift of the doubt to address these issue but if not done within the refund pocliy time limit i will have to refund the app just not worth it.

All great eith their stack!

Apple’s photo widget gives such a lack of voice over what photos you see, how they’re edited, and so forth. Smart Photo is the first, and best, with the options in the users hands. It’s nice to choose the photos I want, edit them, and know my favorites will be in there. Instead of some random screenshot from 2 years ago 5/5 would recommend

The fact I have to pay for any of this is pretty weird. It’s really bad I wouldent say to get it unless you want to be confused 24/7

I've checked out a bunch of different photo widgets and I have to say that I have finally found my favorite one. Most other photo widget apps make you pick each photo one by one which can take a lot of time which I don't have. There are other photo widgets that allow you to choose an album, but then the results are bad. I like to use the wide widget size and so many times I end up with a photo of someone's torso instead of their face. This photo widget, however, let's you choose an album and then just gives great results. I have it set up to show my favorites album and I love seeing old photos show up that I forgot about. I love to see my friend's smiling faces and not their torsos! And if you just have one widget, the app is free. That is a bargain. But I loved the app so much I made the purchase anyway to show my thanks.

Excited to see the option to turn off auto centering for individual photos. ☺️ Would love the ability to center them ourselves in a future update. Old review: Potential ⭐️⭐️ The app definitely has potential but if you're going to describe something using the word "perfect," expect to be judged on perfection. Made a couple of my photos worse centered than the regular thumbnail. If the ability to adjust image framing as desired was added so that we could fix any imperfections, it would be at the very least a 4 star app.

When I tap the widget to look at the image all I get is a spinning wheel and the image never appears. Works ok as a random photo widget, however.
