Leave a Review Polaroid 3.0 Wi
GREAT Concept, but unreliable
What a wonderful concept, to be able to send pictures from your phone straight to a digital frame via Wi-Fi so that you or loved ones can enjoy. Some of the time, I am able to send a few pictures from my phone to my Polaroid frame, or two other Polaroid frames that I purchased for family members. Unfortunately, more often than not this is difficult to do, and does not end up working. First of all when I pull up the pictures to send more than half of them are just grey boxes and do not show the actual picture, so I am not sure what I am clicking on to send to my frame. The pictures that do populate so that I can click on and send, often will say they have sent, but never reach my frame! So frustrating. I have tried everything… Turned the frame off and on, scoured the Internet for fixes, etc…even after getting a new phone I am still experiencing the same problems. It is obviously the app. For over $100 for this frame
(not to mention I have purchased three of them in total) it would be nice if the app actually worked most of the time, instead of rarely. Come on… Technology should be better than this! Where are the app developers, and the fixes??Show lessSeeking Fruits
Trash software only works with 2.4gh
This app and the Polaroid frame it is meant to connect to are absolute trash when it come to transferring photos by wifi. The frame will connect to the 5gh wifi we use, and updates the time and the weather just fine.
What it won’t do is allow you to use the frame for its intended use, to upload and display photos. Polaroid could fix this with a software update but has chosen not to.
My choice is to either downgrade my whole system to 2.4, degrading the performance of a whole house full of connected devices working JUST FINE on 5.0, or to email a bunch of pics to myself and load by USB.
The first is never going to happen, and shame on Polaroid for mandating it, and the USB route is a pain - but my only real choice. Two calls to Polaroid support were informative, letting me know the low regard it holds its customers in, and flagging its technical incompetence.Show lessUnklGear
App repeatedly crashes
I got this specifically because it has the app option to upload photos and I’ve only lucked out on uploading 15. It allows you to upload 9 at a time so after the first 9 I went upload another 9 but the app repeatedly crashed over and over and over again. I had to try various amounts of pictures to upload and it continued to crash.
Unless they can figure out how to get this to stop, I do NOT recommend this product what so ever!Show lessbrittpri
