About Photo Gallery and Screensaver

Supporting photos from your device, as well as online sources including Google Photos, Facebook, Flickr, 500px, and more.

Browse your photos and videos easily, offering a great way to view and share albums on your big screen. Please note that this app is optimised for the TV and will not navigate nicely on a touch device!

Showcase your photos as an Android TV Daydream/Screensaver/Slideshow. The photos are styled like the default Chromecast/TV Daydream.

Please note both the screensaver and gallery have an in-app purchase. The screensaver is limited to the 50 oldest photos in your library. The gallery won’t let you view photos and videos full screen. This lets you play and test the app at your leisure before purchasing if you choose to.

** Photo Sources **
- Facebook
- Flickr (including your friends and family photos)
- Google Photos (not from shared albums)
- Local photos on your device
- USB devices and SD cards
- NASA Photo a Day
- 500px (features categories only)
- TV & Movie fanart from Kodi
- Any requests? Let us know!

** Features **
- Optionally auto include new photos and albums.
- Easily include or exclude some or all albums.

** Gallery Features*
- Browse your albums for each photo source you choose to add.
- Browse your photos and play your videos full screen.
- Play slideshows of your albums.
- Search your library.

** Screensaver Features
- Photos load in the background for seamless playback.
- Customise the time delay between photos.
- Navigate between photos whilst daydreaming.
- Photos are chosen intelligently based on when they were taken and last viewed.
- Choose to show or hide: portrait photos, the time, information about the photo, currently playing artist and song, if available.

Since this app looks for new photos in the background, it means you only need to set it up and customise once and then you'll never need to think about it again. Just sit back and enjoy watching new and old photos alike, from your own collection as well as any chosen friends and family.

** Setting your Screensaver **
To set this app to become your default screensaver, follow these instructions by Google (https://support.google.com/androidtv/answer/6123262?hl=en-GB):

1. From Android TV’s Home screen, scroll down until you reach Settings.
2. Select Settings
3. Select Daydream/Screensaver.
5. Select "Photo Screensaver and Gallery" from the options.

** Set wait time for screensaver **
You can choose how long it takes for your screensaver to start when you’re not using your Android TV. Here’s how:

1. From Android TV’s Home screen, scroll down until you reach Settings.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select Daydream/Screensaver.
4. Select When to Daydream.
5. Select "Photo Screensaver and Gallery" from the options.

** Google Photos **
Google photos come from your Google Photos account. You can view, organise and add more photos at https://photos.google.com. Please note, sadly Google does not provide access to photos that have been added into collaborate albums by other people. Also, albums created as "Shared Albums" are not exposed, however regular albums that are later shared work as expected.

** Feedback **
Please reach out to us at furnaghan@gmail.com with any questions, comments, problems or requests - we'd love to hear from you!

Love this app and spend ages looking at all the old photos what come up from Google Photos.

The gallery is simple and clean and it works. Also, bonus: the creator(s?) is (are?) very responsive.

Excellent screensaver! I am trying to figure out why some of my albums are not available. Has me baffled. EDIT: Figured it out. SHARED albums will not appear in the list. When you create an album, create a regular one, NOT SHARED

Hi ... I have purchase and gallery and screen saver and follow the steps provided but not able to run screen saver from App or Daydream in Sony Android TV. It keeps showing default wallpaper. I am able to login my facebook account through app and SYNC albums and select them in source but still there is a issue.

Incredible app - simple in nature but does it perfectly! The App is loaded onto my AndroidTV and it works brilliantly as a photo gallery browser, and also as a screensaver - screensaver is even better than the default Chromecast one, with plenty of options available! Even better, I emailed the dev suggesting an additional feature (to have only selected album(s) used for the screensaver), and not only did he add the feature almost immediately, he even sent me an nice email to say so! Simply the best, most perfect, "does what it should" app I've ever come across - gladly paid the bargain "buy" prices to unlock the full features!

I just bought the gallery option and its excellent on my mi box. There is one request you might need to take a public opinion though. 1. When I play videos the navigation bar is not accessible(maybe my mi remote problem), 2. That Blue bar is huge and ugly, can you make it transparent and minimal, you can check apple tv, youtube webpage or kodi something as an example for that minimal interface. Excellent job on keeping it clean and minimal in all the other areas.

I really needed Google Photos app form my Android TV. The only thing that I do not like is that when I browse my gallery in full screen I have this gradient overlay over my photos. It's a gray transparent overlay staring from bottom ending in the middle of the screen. I could not find an option to remove it.

Great stuff, thanks a lot. If you can add autoplay for videos from Google Photos then that would be highly appreciated (not just by me, me thinks). Again thanks for the hard work and happy new year. :)

Just what I was looking for. Could you add support for android boxes,tablets and phones?

LOVE this app. I was sick of seeing the same stock photos on my screensaver/daydream session. Now I have beautiful photos from 500px displayed. Thank you thank you thank you!! The ONLY thing is if someone wants to see their own 500px photos, I didn't see a way to do that. It just scrapes the Discover feed. But that's what I wanted, so I'm super happy with it.

This is a great app! Highly recommended. Very responsive dev too.

Honestly this app fills in the gap that Google should have never left. I almost immediately paid for unlimited access to all my photos. This app works fantastic... ...by itself. However, I regularly encounter a problem where I'm playing Pandora and start the screensaver - after about a song, the music will completely cut off and not come back. The screensaver slideshow still displays, but I'm thinking that it and Pandora are running into resource problems? I'm not sure but it seriously needs to be fixed. (Nexus Player, btw) As far as suggestions go, I would love to see a pan/zoom option for the screensaver, and maybe an option to alternate the display of information (photo date, album name, etc) so that it's not stagnant in the bottom right of the screen.

A must-have leanback gallery for Android TV. Great work! Please add SMB support and 2-3 step zoom. Thanks!

Fantastic app!! That missing photo library based screensaver from your Android TV? This is it. Many features, many possible photo sources, reliable and quick, with fast responses to feedback. Highly recommended.

Won't allow signing into your Flickr account if you're using a bluetooth attached keyboard on the Nexus Player. You have to use the Nexus remote instead. UPDATE: The App now works with a Bluetooth Keyboard for setup, as the developer indicates in the reply below

I was missing this feature so much in my Android TV. It works perfect. Also good support, I had an issue with albums and the developer solved it in less than 24 hours.

Must HAVE app if you have an Android TV :) It's just stunning !

Ever install an app and think, wow, this one is too good to last? This is one of the few Android apps that feels completely polished and finished upon initial release and configuration. Hats off to the developers.

Great app!!

B70%
by B####:

Best we got! As noted, it doesn't show albums that other people have write access to, but despite that, this is perfect for what we need our Android TV to do, to use our TV as a large digital picture frame. Works great on the NVIDIA SHIELD TV, but I wish we had backdrop capability built into it, like on a real Chromecast

Works perfectly, looks beautiful, and is easy to set up and very customisable. Developers are awesome - I suggested a feature and they implemented it in the next update.

Great app for displaying your photos as a Daydream on your Android TV device where usually you can only have stock photos displayed, unless you have the Chromecast dongle. Found a bug with portrait Flickr photos which I reported and it got fixed and an update was released very quickly. Awesome customer support, thank you!

This app is rubbish. It claims to show Google Photos albums, yet upon adding the account, no google photos show. I have 2 Albums available on Google Photos, they don't show in app. I have tried all sorts of things, permissions, clear cache, restart, uninstall/reinstall. Nothing works. I want a refund!
