| Make a Smilebox slideshow |
Pros:
- music
- full screen option
- lots of style options (most of them are irritating)
Cons
- Hate it!!! - they constantly ask for pro sign up (=spend money) and the program hijacked my computer and added all kinds of stuff and I'm still not sure I got rid of it.
- huge con - no way to show all of photos with vertical orientation
- very difficult to work within their programs
- irritating constant asking to buy pro version
- ads in free version
- full screen takes you to new website
Bottom line
My favorite - Flickr, but I need to pay for a pro account.
