Tap any album and its photos are added to the Playlist, downloaded if necessary, and in moments they’re part of the animated slide show. Continue to browse, add, and delete albums from the list, or tap to see photo captions and album info — all without stopping the show.

Tapping a photo’s Facebook icon brings up its Facebook page, where the user can Like it, comment on it, contact the participants, or add that missing caption to their own photo — all without leaving Alive Albums.
