AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about HD Slideshow Maker — no active vendor website, recent release notes, or architecture documentation appeared in our search. This raises concerns about the app's maintenance status. If you rely on this app, we recommend contacting Socusoft directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned. This is important because Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), and an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. In the meantime, consider exploring actively maintained native alternatives like Capo (for music-synced slideshows), Keynote (for polished presentation-style slideshows with transitions), or iMovie (for more advanced slideshow-to-video workflows). All of these run natively on Apple Silicon and are regularly updated.
