Play Photo Gallery and Screensaver on PC
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.
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.
