Creating a Custom Photo Gallery in the Coverstar Ipad App

In the spring of 2012, Coverstar, a division of Latham Pool Products, introduced their new Ipad App. This app was designed to provide clear, concise and compelling presentations on how Coverstar cover systems enhance the safety, savings and convenience of the swimming pool.   The app is easy to navigate and provides helpful information for Automatic or Solid & Mesh Safety Covers.

One popular feature of the app continues to be the photo gallery.   Coverstar has provided a number of pictures to show automatic or solid & mesh safety covers installed on a variety of different types of pools, and in a number of different applications. After the app was released, several pool builders asked about the possibility of the app being updated to allow them to be able to create their own photo gallery. Based on this suggestion, the app has been updated so custom photo gallery’s can be created.


Follow these steps to create your own custom photo gallery in for either automatic or solid & mesh safety covers:
  1. With the photo gallery page open, press the "Manage Images" button on the screen.


2. Two new buttons will be displayed. Press the "Create New Gallery" Button.

3. Enter the name for the new photo gallery.   In our example below, we have entered "Latham Pool Products" as our new gallery.   
4. Press the "Create new Logo" button. Press the "Add logo" button. Thumbnails of different pictures in the camera roll on the ipad can be viewed. 


5. Select the desired Logo.
6. Select the name of the newly created gallery from the images drop down menu.
7. Click on the Add Image button. Select the desired picture(s) from the camera roll on the Ipad.

8. After the images have been added to the gallery, when one of images in the gallery has been selected, the page will display the company logo and thumbnails of each picture in the gallery. As each thumbnail is selected, the image will be shown in a larger size.

When using the photo gallery, you can select to show the pictures in the app, the pictures from your own gallery, or you can choose to show all pictures. 

We hope you will find this helpful as you create your own photo galleries to show pictures of the pools you build or automatic or solid & mesh safety covers you have installed.
