Description
The fastest, easiest way to create and share beautiful slideshows on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
Showcase your photography. Static images are brought to life with caption overlays, animated Ken Burns (pan & zoom) effects, slide transitions and background music. Built-in face detection makes the most of the small screen whilst passcode protection keeps your slideshows safe & secure.
Slideshow Builder uses iCloud to optionally sync your slideshows across your iOS devices. When you're ready to share your slideshow with friends and family, simply tap to share, and get back a link to it in iCloud to send to them. No more multi-megabyte emails.

Version 2.1 (Apr 19, 2012)
** IMPORTANT - READ BEFORE UPDATING **
There is a small risk you might lose data in the update due to the new shareable slideshow format. To minimise the risk of this please ensure you have enough free space to make a copy of your slideshows.
DO NOT UPGRADE IF YOU ARE LOW ON DISK SPACE
Even if there is enough space, there is a small risk you will lose ordering or timings on slides.
DO NOT UPGRADE IF YOU CANNOT RISK SLIDE ORDER AND TIMINGS BEING LOST
Less than 0.5% of users are experiencing any issues during update, but we sincerely apologise if you are impacted by this. We are working on fixes to address these issues. In the meantime see http://support.bitwink.com for all known issues. Please email support@bitwink.com if you have an issue rather than leaving a 1-star review. We cannot contact you to help you retrieve your slides through that mechanism.
You can now store your slideshows in the cloud and share them with friends & family via email! We have also added access to your iPod music library and a much faster photo picker. Last but not least, we have a gorgeous new iPad interface. Enjoy!
