With Photo Slideshow Maker, you can quickly create a slideshow from photos and images that you have on your Android device and share it in video format with the rest of the world. If you're a beginner and have never put together a slideshow before, this app might be of interest to you due to its ease of use. However, if you have some experience in photo editing or video creation, you might be a bit disappointed with the limited set of features that comes with it.

How Photo Slideshow Maker Works

This app is one of the most straightforward slideshow creators currently available for the Android platform. The visual touch interface makes customizing your slideshow a very quick and convenient process. You start by browsing to a folder and selecting the images you want to use in your presentation. While this part is simple enough, it might get a bit confusing if you choose the wrong image. There's no way to undo a selection at this stage, but you can do so on the next step. Obviously, it would be a lot more logical if the developers had included a delete button here, as many users have wasted their time looking for a control that should be there but isn't.

Once you confirmed your selection, you can then make further adjustments. Photo Slideshow Maker now gives you the opportunity to remove images, reorder them and add new ones. This is also the part where you get the opportunity to apply filters to images, select transition effects, rotate images that aren't in the right orientation and add an audio track.

Once you're done, you will get to see a preview of your slideshow. You can either go back to make changes or save it as a video file that can be shared with your selected audience in any way you want.

Good Features for Beginners Without Anything Too Fancy

Photo Slideshow Maker comes with a variety of customization features that might be enough if your needs are very basic. The app has built-in photo filters, but there's only four of them. You can choose from several transition effects too. The problem here is that the transition will be applied to the whole slideshow. There are controls for the timing of each picture, as well as a rotation option to make all your images have the same orientation. While most other slideshow apps come with a couple photo editing functions, like zoom and crop, these are completely absent from Photo Slideshow Maker.

The app is free and supported by ads that appear during use. Some of them can be quite annoying, as they pop up and fill most of the page. Ads may take several seconds to load, then a couple more to close after you've pressed the button. The only good part about them is that they don't seem to affect the stability or performance of the app.

In the end, Photo Slideshow Maker is a simple tool that its main job, but not much more. If you just want to try making slideshows for fun and don't need any advanced functions, this free app might be for you. On the other hand, if you hope to make slideshows that make your creativity shine, you'll need a more advanced app than this one.
