Dayframe updates to v2.0 with Chromecast Support, Prime Users are NOT in Jeopardy

Thursday, February 6, 2014 11:29

(Before It's News)

Cloud.tv has just released an update to thier Dayframe app this morning that adds in support for Chromecast. Now you can not only seamlessly cast your photos from your device to your TV, but you can feed a huge number of sources to it as well. Dayframe lets you sign in with Dropbox, Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Instagram and many others. Take all your favorite photo locations and set them up in a playlist and kickback and let the show unfold in front of you.

While you can “just sit back and watch” the magic unfold, you are also in full control of everything that is being displayed on your TV. You can swipe forward, backwards, zoom to fit or fill, pause, shuffle and even like photos directly from your device. Did we mention it also plays animated GIFs as well, and yes, Autoawesome as well.

While seeing images are nice, video is a bit better for showing off how this all works out and how versatile it really is. So take a quick watch.

The update brings quite a bit more than just Chromecast support though. While that might be the headlining feature of the update, cloud.tv also gave the whole app a UI overhaul.

- new library organization
- view and play individual photostreams
- better album playlisting
- library shortcuts in left menu
- playlists in the right menu
- favorite streams
- PRIME now IAP
- Chromecast shows animated gifs!

I messed around with it for about 20 minutes to take a couple photos and see if it worked and it seems to work just fine. It is particularly nice to see G+ photo integration build-in right alongside animated GIF support.

On to the more pressing topic at hand. Cloud.tv removed the Prime version of the app from the Play Store this morning as well. They have now switch to an in-app purchase system for going from the free version, to the PRIME version. The Prime version of the app is $2.99 and is what you will need to pay for if you want Chromecast support, other wise the free version will give you good function, but it will only be on your phone/tablet.

With this move there has been a HUGE influx of upset customers who bought the PRIME version of the app. Now that it is gone from the Play Store, they don’t get any updates or the new Chromecast support. Not true actually. Cloud.tv isn’t giving the supporters who paid the middle finger at all. You should be able to install the new Daydream free app and have instant access to the Prime features if you are using the same email/Play Store account that you bought the Prime app with. If not, then all you have to do is shoot them an email at [email protected] and they can whitelist you for PRIME access again. A minor inconvenience, but not the end of the world. Cloud.tv isn’t expecting, or wanting, previous owners to pay twice for the same app. We are in contact with Cloud.tv on the whole thing and they are looking at other solution to make sure Prime users keep Prime.

If you want to check out the app, hit up the Play Store button down below. Give it a whirl and, if you like it, feel free to pick up the Prime version.

Dayframe by Cloud.TV. Free with $2.99 IAP for Chromecast support.
