The old tablet with Android 4.1 required to have Fotoo side-loaded after I downloaded a many versions from many sites until I found 1 that worked. Discovered it was the premium (paid) version that was installed. It does work perfectly, but cannot log in to Google at all to use my albums online. So I have a slideshow loaded onto a micro-SD card. I have since taken that tablet and have it hanging by 3M command strips above my workbench where I work. It starts at 8am and ends at 4:30pm, and blanks the screen overnight.I have the better Android 4.2 tablet running the free version of Fotoo at home above my TV. This version Android does still work with Google, so I could download Fotoo legitimately from the Play Store. This version does access my Google Photos shares. It also does a nag screen every 15 minutes for 5 minutes before resuming the slideshow. I am not annoyed by this, so I am saving the $20 upgrade cost for now.My Lenovo 10.1 inch tablet has also been tested with the free version of Fotoo. It may not be necessary to use this app on it if I just use local photos. I has a timer built-in for starting up and shutting-down daily by itself. But more importantly I do actually use this tablet as a portable TV around the home especially during football games. So I won't be retiring it to be a photo frame yet. And the Shield TV box I use on my TV does run Android and Fotoo is working on this platform also. It integrates to the Android TV system enough that Fotoo can be set as the system screensaver. So now I can view my own photos during the screensaver slideshow instead of random photos by strangers. This ability was removed from Android TV quite some time ago so this will stay active for me.I have not tried out running on my old 1st generation FireStick or FireTV 3.0. I'm not very motivated to try it yet.</blockquote>
