Family parties, a night out with old friends or a visit from the in-laws. There are times we all need to whip out the photos of the kids, family or whatever. With iGallery you can have your album with you all the time, and fire up a slide show with a few clicks. You can set the delay, and your images scroll through from a selected folder. You can even use iGallery as a screensaver or set a password to restrict access to your device. This no-frills app comes from MMMOOO and is 100% free. You can check out iGallery in the CrackBerry App Store.

iGallery Turns Your BlackBerry Into a Digital Photo Frame
Looks interesting, though I don't really show off pictures often. I'll give it a look!
Seems like every time I post anything on the mobile site it posts twice. And I can't delete the second post!
Nice, easy to use, works well. It needs an option in it to turn off the auto-dim feature so that the screen stays on; otherwise the slideshow just goes to black after whatever you have your backlight set at
i'll stick with that one for now.
But since it's free I'll probably play with it a lil bit.
I don't see why I would set my phone somewhere for someone to check out a slide show, or to use it as a digital picture frame on a shelf. Would be cool if I had an extra Storm laying around, otherwise I would just use the BB picture displayer that's already on the phone.
-_- am I the only guy that goes to options and then can't exit the options? Deleting.
Same here. I could not get this app to run. It would not save the options. Deleted.
this is kinda like wallpaper shifter now is it?
I wonder how long it will take the Apple legal department to shoot this down - "iGallery"
Doesn't the native picture app have a slideshow very similar to this? Why would you install this?
I downloaded this on my 8530 works great. I've always liked a screensaver so it's awesome for that plus love to show off pics. Nice app....
It'd go great with the charging cradle. And it looks best on the Storm to be honest
I like this app. Thanks MMMOOO. Now, if I could stop my screen from going blank.
Compared to the BB slideshow already on the phone?
This app is simple but impressive. It being free is a bonus of course. I think many of you are forgetting that while the bb has slide show functionality, it cannot work as a screensaver like this does.
For v1 this is good. But its not without problems. It doesn't disable auto dim screen or screen timeout, meaning it doesn't 'work' once the timeout kicks in.
They need to also add functions that the native picture app has. Such as manually skipping pics or pausing the slide show. Also the option to select what order the pictures are shown would be nice.
They are asking for feedback. I've sent some, you all should do the same.
Right now, the native bb slideshow functions better..since you can place it in a charging cradle, turn on slideshow and the backlight screen won't dim/timeout.
..so on that note, I think i'll keep to using wallpaper shifter (another mmmoo app).
Am I the only one who noticed the scale of the phone and other objects in the picture??? A storm2 the size of books ?? I wish !!!
Them some big 'Berries! =)
As damojo stated above. I have a charging cradle on my desk in my office, so this little app is perfect for me. I know have a miniature digital picture frame on my desk that I can look at throughout the day as I work.
If you have the app "leave it on" installed, I would think you should be able to use this to stop the screen from timing out. I will try it and see if it works.
Simple but useful app. I like it.
Doesn't work while my Storm is in the charging cradle, which is the only time I'd use this app - useless...
I am completely regretting adding this app on my phone. Although it has not caused my phone to freeze up, it just about has. My phone is running at a snails pace. I've been trying to delete this app for the past 20 minutes. I would not recommend this app to anyone unless I really wanted to disable their phone. But I'm not that evil. Beware when using this app. BTW, I have the 8330 w/4.5 OS
RANT:
What is it with the obsessiin people have with all things Mac? I will not pollute my BB with Mac/iPhone themes or other apps that sound like they belong on a Mac. Let BB be BB and Mac be Mac and never the two should meet....
I would like nice transistions also the native app is better exept for screensaver
