A few more negatives: cannot add blank slides (for example to have just text - need to create a blank image externally then import into program), cannot add video clips, cannot scale, crop or adjust photos, no "zoom" in/out or rotate slide capability during display - only zoom in/out transitions, cannot rotate or "animate" slides, no keyframes plus many, many more options that are available in the more sophisticated programs like PTE or ProShow. Also, the text positions are predefined to nine (9) locations on the slide, 3 left 3 center and 3 right, and cannot be changed or adjusted. The **BIG** negative here is that you can NOT change the font size or rotate the text. Another pls - The ability to add text to your tile and individual slides. (Multiple audio tracks are used for voice overs, sound effects, etc., during playback) You're also limited to a single audio track with no varying volume control during playback. Missing is the ability to "sync" your show (slide & transition times) to the music automatically. last slide) regardless of the audio length is a definite plus. The ability to use audio files (MP3, WAV or WMA) LONGER than your show and then Fade it out at the end i.e. It DOES, however, present you with a means of EASILY, with practially NO learning curve, producing an attractive, attention getting, slideshow that you can be proud of, all done within a few minutes and output/uploaded easily to social media platforms, as webm files to place within HTML 5 code and as standalone MP4, MOV or AVI for your PC or "Smart" TV. Ice Cream Slideshow Maker Pro does NOT fit into that category. My "go-to" slideshow apps are PTE AV Studio 10 (current) and Photodex Producer v9 (previously) which are both relatively expensive to buy, ultra complex in their myriad of capabilities and have steep learning curves to use effectively and efficiently - these are the types of programs that professionals (not me) would use to create presentations that are sold for premium dollars. My overall impression is that I think it's greatest strengths are probably it's greatest weaknesses. I've just finished "playing" with Ice Cream Slideshow Maker Pro v4.04 (immediately upgraded after install) for about an hour.
