Great app. Works very simply and well. Couple of things to fix/improve to be 5*: It changes the aspect ratio of portrait photos making them squashed; need option to pick from all photos from that day in different folders (I.e. The WhatsApp folder to include pics sent to me); more music choices. All in all solid v1. Thanks!

Doesn't seem to work

On my Lumia 950 it doesn't seem to work. The app opens and you can follow the steps to create the photostory, but once you're done, it just shows a black screen with a background music, and then the app crashes.

App runs fine until it gets to the part where it compiles the video together. The screen will appear all black with music playing.

Review title of KevinDoes Not Work on Lumia 950 XL

Please fix. My old review follows; this was my favorite app. New phone abd this app appear to be incompatible. Come on, Windows Phone. Stop screwing everything up. The app gap is made worse when your new phones can't use what few solid apps you have in the store. Moronic. . .original review: Amazing. Used once a day for a daily vacation electronic postcard; everyone commented on how cool it was. Would love to be able to.extend to 60 photos from 30 and to use pictures that ate saved (or edited) as editing photos puts them in the saved folder rather than camera roll, where the app can not pull from. Otherwise, amazing design, great options, wonderfully energetic music and killer effects.

Review title of RyanDoesn't work, never has. Junk MS product.

After selecting music, it tries to create the story, it starts to play music to a black screen. How can MS admit to even make this complete pile of junk?

Its awesome when it works. But it only shows black screen on my 950 xl to accompany the sound. Id give it a five if it works on a flagship phone
