You can tweak each story before sharing, adding your own music, switching transition effects, or swapping the order of your photos and videos. This feature automatically uploads all your photos and video clips to the cloud and will automatically be made into Stories. Users can get an additional 5GB of storage for enabling Auto Upload in the app. RealTimes is free to use and comes with 2GB of cloud storage for free and are limited to 30 second Stories. This makes revisiting your old photos fun and a hit with your friends. One nice thing about RealTimes is that it scans all of your photos and videos, including ones you forgot about. The app auto-converts the video to each platform using RealPlayer technology. There's no need to export your video to a specific file format. Sharing a Story on Facebook shows up as an embedded video that plays right there in your friends' timeline.ĭuring my testing, Stories created by RealTimes worked flawlessly on my devices. You can still share RealTimes stories with your friends who don't have an account. Thankfully RealTimes doesn't force users into signing up. Your friends and family will be alerted when you add new photos, videos, or create stories. There's also a social network aspect to RealTimes.

You're better off adding your own filters from Instagram or VSCO Cam before using them to create Stories in RealTimes. The app also features video filters, but they're all pretty terrible.

If you don't like what RealTimes came up with the first time, you can hit the 'Remix' button to randomize that Story. I found the algorithm to work well for the most part but favors faces, excluding some really good shots. Blurry, dark, or duplicate photos are ignored so your slideshows only include the best. The app uses Real's algorithm that scans your photos to pick the ones that are best. RealTimes takes the tediousness out of compiling photos and videos to share with your friends.
