Key takeaways for ++SlideShow
Where is it heading?
The market for simple slideshow utilities is consolidating as native OS features improve, leaving ++SlideShow with no clear path for growth. The lack of development activity over the last 20 months signals that the app will continue to lose relevance as it fails to adapt to newer iOS standards.
- The 609-day update gap indicates the app is in a maintenance-only state, which will lead to gradual obsolescence as iOS evolves.
- The reliance on ad-interruptions during playback creates a poor user experience that cannot be addressed without active development investment.
The SWOT
- Simple, account-free local media playback
- Offer ad-free premium tier to reduce playback friction
Next best moves
Sunset the app because the 609-day update gap indicates no active development capacity → reduce support overhead

Read the full takeSince the last report: The outlook for ++SlideShow has shifted from stable to declining, as the 609-day development silence is now categorized as a terminal state rather than a finished product. The internal strategy has pivoted from maintaining the utility to a formal recommendation to sunset the project.
Bottom line
++SlideShow serves as a functional, albeit stagnant, utility for basic media playback. The lack of development activity suggests the current ad-supported model is the final state, leaving the app vulnerable to native OS feature improvements that will eventually render this tool redundant.
