Slideshows used to be incredibly complicated to make. However, times are different today and you can make slideshows within a few minutes. But do you want to be more productive? If so, you need to try out this slideshow app for iOS.

There are quite a lot of options to choose from, which can make the choice somewhat confusing. This is why I’m going to talk about the best slideshow app I have ever use.

I do not believe the majority of online reviews. However, after reading a review and feeling quite impressed, I tried downloading Slideshow Music and the results far exceeded my expectations.

First, I want to talk about the most suitable person to use this application:

  • Photographers want to turn their photos into a vivid video
  • Social users want to build a feed with stunning videos
  • Presenter want to make a quick slideshow to present without the computer
  • Users want to create a video for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries,…

Secondly, I will briefly review the application (If you feel interesting, scroll down to see the more detailed review section)

Slideshow Music is a free application that allows users to create video slideshows of selected images, with transition effects between beautiful images. The advantage of this application is that in addition to image and filter effects, the application also has lots of default themes to help users customize videos in a simple and fast way.

Slideshow Music offers stunning preset themes to choose from and an easy interface. Plus, the application supports saving as a draft project, making it easy to edit unfinished projects. I think these features are very suitable for photographers. Import your own photos in the slideshow and revamp them to make them more prominent. Interesting!

In addition to helping you arrange photos and videos in a presentable format, Slideshow Music comes with a pretty decent video editor as well, so you can make all the necessary adjustments to your pictures or videos without leaving the app.

The basic version of Slideshow Music is free to use and download: https://apple.co/2OPteBu

Please notice: The following is a detailed review so it will be quite long

After installation, from the main interface of the application, click on the icon “+”, then select the images you want to put into your slideshow video. Click “start” after selecting the images you like.

After completing the photo selection process, the application will automatically create a slideshow with the pictures arranged in the same order as you selected before. Here you can click the “Play” button to play this slideshow video. The application will automatically create default transitions between images, but this effect will be applied to all images in the video.

The application has several “Hand-made” themes with various effects, helping users quickly apply to videos without having to spend time for editing. However, if you are creative, this is also the right application for you.

To serve different purposes, please select the video size appropriate for the channel you are planning to post the video for the best quality experience. Click Canvas on the menu to do this.

Next, what I’m about to say is the main content and the most prominent part of the application. The app kick starts user’s creativity by allowing them to choose a variety of transition effects, filters, and backgrounds to make your video come more alive in the Customize tab:

Filter: add color filters to the images as they appear on the slideshow video. Next, select the “Background” to set a colorful backdrop for each image in your video.

Edit: allows you to rotate, flip, adjust the position and size of each image. Therefore you can make all the necessary adjustments to your photos without leaving the app.

Movement: creates motion effects in an image, making the video more exciting.

Transition: users can create a professional video with vivid transitions.

After finishing the customization, click the orange checkmark icon → Done to continue editing.

To add music for slideshow video, click the Music icon on the menu, then select one of the music provided by the application or click import music from iTunes or Online Music to add the music to your video.

What makes the application more special is that it has a Music Studio that helps users to select a piece of music, customize sound effects (Fade in/Fade out) and duplicate music.

After adding the background music, to make the length of the performance video match the length of the track you selected, click “Time” on the application’s menu, move the slider, the application will automatically allocate the showing time of each image so that the total time is equal to the length of the track you have chosen.

Finally, after completing the setup steps, click the “Play” icon to preview the video with the effects you have created. If you feel like it, click on the Export icon in the upper right corner. Then choose File Type and Video Quality, then click “Save and Export” to save the video to your device. After the saving process is complete, you can share your work on social networks, email, or messaging apps…

“None of us is perfect and have some or the other flaws. But flaws can always be done away with if we just try”-Anurag Prakash Ray

Yes, of course, anything has its flaws. The application has a few restrictions that I think developers need to change in the future to make the application more convenient and fully meet the needs of users.

Besides the various filters, movements, and transitions, the application lacks the basic features of a slideshow maker like adding text and stickers. However, this is just a small omission that I think application developers will add in the near future. Because of the utilities that the app brings, and more is free, so I can ignore this omission.

In summary, these are just my feelings after using the application. About how great it is, you can download Slideshow Music to experience more.
