A unique use of the iPad that not many people have thought of, is as a Digital Photo-frame. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the iPad display an endless stream of amazing pictures while it rests on the dock ?

I went to download this app, but…I could not find the download button. Well, I did find it but all I got was the big run-around between iTunes and The Official 500px site. Is this app for for real or am I just missing something? And, what’s with the crashes reported for update 1.3.1? Can you help me get the download?
