Pixette is highly praised for NAS-based photo slideshows on iPad, with strong NAS compatibility, easy setup, and robust indexing for large photo libraries. It’s valued for turning old iPads into digital photo frames and for multi-room use, plus noted for responsive developer support. Some isolated notes mention update-related instability, but no widespread recurring issues are reported in the reviews.

Easy setup with NAS, clear instructions (WebDAV) and straightforward configuration
Handles very large photo libraries with reliable indexing (tens to hundreds of thousands of photos)
Great for repurposing old iPads as digital photo frames; supports multi-room setups
Responsive developer support and prompt responses to user feedback

Greetings….found your app a week or so ago and was getting it (v2.3.11) tested on my iPad Pro (iPadOS 16.7.15) using the SMB connection option. All was working great and came back to leave a comment and noted v2.3.12 was available. Installed it, activated subscription and continued testing and have encountered issues using the SMB option - - SMB protocol connection shows good - indexing notes correct file count in selected folder - upon entering slideshow, only a single image is displayed (using shuffle / fade modes). Image will only change with a complete relaunch of the app, but no image transitions. The app has everything I need! Any suggestions?

For almost 4 years now, Pixette has been one of my favorite apps. Every day, I use it on my iPad to enjoy the nearly 90,000 photos and videos stored on my Synology NAS. It truly feels like taking a beautiful trip down memory lane every single time. A huge thank you to the developer for building this wonderful app and for always responding to user feedback so promptly and kindly. I’m really grateful — keep up the amazing work!
