Slide Show Soundtrack makes it easy to create a self-running slide show with photos from your device and/or from iCloud. It can optionally include music from a selected iTunes playlist. You select up to five photo albums and a playlist. If you have multiple albums, the program will alternate photos between each group. For example, if you are hosting a graduation party for three people, each one can put his or her photos in a separate album. Slide Show Soundtrack will then alternate between photos of each person. You can also choose whether to randomize the music, randomize the photos, repeat music and photos when all have been used, show a status message of each photo, set the delay between each photo, and the caption of the show. You can pause the show, start it again, skip to the next photo, and go forward and backward within the music playlist. The product is free with an advertisement at the top of the screen. The advertisement can be permanently removed with a $2.99 in-app purchase if desired.
