### 5/5 — Perfect for Elderly Parents

*2026-07-13, version 2.3.8*

We send pictures to this frame remotely so our parents can see pictures their grandkids. They like watching the slideshow. This seems easier for them than seeing them on their phone.

### 1/5 — horrible app

*2026-07-09, version 2.3.8*

i bought the frame went to plugged it in and i cant even sign into the god awful app without it telling me my email is already used or my username that i typed in is already used, no idea who made this app but they should be ashamed total waste of my money

### 5/5 — Worked Perfectly Fine

*2026-05-12, version 2.3.8*

Uploaded pictures both plugged in and wirelessly. Up to about 100 photos now and still working great.

### 1/5 — Do you love your family?

*2026-04-26, version 2.3.8*

If so, please don't buy this. You'll only see them when the software decides it to be so, and then when it does, it doesn't follow the schedule you set. So while you snooze through the night it'll be gladly revealing your memories, then as soon as you wake up it'll shut off because why not?

### 2/5 — Really?

*2026-04-25, version 2.3.8*

Bad app design and function. Compared to the dozens of apps we use everyday, this one rates at the bottom. It’s as if the designer never had to transfer photos from an iPhone to the frame. Worse than watching paint dry. I give it 2 stars because the frame itself is quite nice. Frame interface is not great but once you figure it out, the number of clicks recedes.

### 1/5 — Issues

*2026-04-04, version 2.3.8*

I love the idea of this frame and the app but it is full of issues. Sometimes you can send photos through email and they’ll show up on the frame other times they don’t show up. When you use the app to send photos to the frame, they sometimes don’t show up. Sometimes some of the settings work such as the light detection, or the sleep function and other times they don’t work. I will definitely buy from a different manufacturer and get rid of this one. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Brutal

*2026-03-22, version 2.3.8*

This app is just bad all around.

If you must use it, make sure you:
1. Connect the app to your frame
2. Accept the request on the frame
3. Refresh the devices on the app
4. Now select photos because you can’t select a device after selecting the photos for some reason (poor programming)

If you want to see a zoom in of a photo, it works fine. Just DO NOT swipe down to get out of the zoom in as you will lose all of your selected photos progress (poor programming)

If you select a large number of files, be patient. There isn’t a progress bar or notification to tell you something is happening. I waited 10 seconds and thought it wasn’t working so I added the photos again, only to find out I was going to send the same ones twice.

The frame seems to work fine, but this user experience is very frustrating.  Please do not give this frame/app to someone who isn’t technically savvy.

### 1/5 — Functionality needs improvement

*2026-02-14, version 2.3.8*

It’s difficult to navigate and you should be able to see photos that have been loaded already like in the app of another competing smart frame. I can’t recall every photo uploaded and don’t know if someone else has already uploaded the same photo so it’s difficult to know which photos need to be added as the frame does not live in our home but the the home of my in laws.

### 2/5 — Worked less than a year.

*2026-02-14, version 2.3.8*

I loved the frame until it just stopped working less than a year of owning it. Turns on and then only shows a black screen. Have tried to reboot several times.

### 1/5 — We should have better tech by now

*2026-02-08*

I’ve only had this a couple days but the app has already glitched multiple times and is just poorly designed in general. You can’t edit any settings on the smart frame through the app, you can pretty much only upload photos and videos and that’s it. 

If you want to delete a photo you have to do it on the frame and from my understanding you cannot change the order of photos, also I tried using the “folder” feature but can’t seem to figure out how to add anything to it. I think we’re going to return it and get a different brand. 

The quality on the frame was great though! I liked the size too.
