PRESENTATION

Photos and videos can be presented automatically in slideshow mode (4 different speeds) with various transitions in-between them (Ken Burns, random, slide-in, fly-in, dissolve and pan&zoom) in conjunction with 8 different picture frame styles. If available, videos are integrated into the slideshow and start automatically. Swiping gestures allow you to quickly scroll through your photo- and video collection and zooming is supported via pinch-zoom (or center-button clicks on the FireTV remote).

SHARING

Slideshows can be shared via short 5 character codes that expire after 24 hours. For example you can share a slideshow and then email the code to friends, family or clients. You can also use your tablet to share a slideshow and then enter the 5-character code on your FireTV.

Individual photos can be shared with other applications on the device. For example, you can copy a photo that was downloaded by PhotoGuru to to a photo editor application on your device. Note that this functionality is not available on the FireTV.
