Do you have an old iPad laying around, collecting dust? There's a more sustainable solution. Add a new life to it by turning it into a digital picture frame and easily display shared iCloud or local albums on your iPad in a smart way.
I'm happy to announce the launch of my iPad app. I created this app initially for my mom as a gift because she loves having the latest pictures of me and my family. We usually just shared an iCloud photo album but then I thought, why not use my unused iPad, put it in a nice picture frame and let her have the pictures in style.
Since I thought this could benefit a lot of other old iPads and help with electronic waste, I wanted to release it to the public as well. It comes with a lot of battery usage improvements so that it ends up being very battery efficient.
I hope you'll have as much fun with it as my mom π
Happy to get any feedback about the app!
Connect with me on Twitter @florianvates if you want to know how I built the frame or get instructions on how to use a common IKEA frame for it.

Damn, this is a brilliant idea! I don't have iPad to try this out, but I believe many will use it!
