### 1/5 — Never works

*2020-09-19, version 2.0*

I have to close and re open the app at least 15x to upload pics. It is terrible. Once the app works then you can upload the pics without issues.

### 1/5 — Stopped accepting new photos

*2020-02-28, version 2.0*

It used to work great then about 6 months ago it stopped working.    Tried support and no response.   It says pictures are successfully uploaded but nothing shows up.

### 1/5 — Download not working anymore...

*2020-01-27*

...Following last iOS upgrade? Hope that get solved quickly

### 1/5 — Overpriced Defective Garbage

*2020-01-05*

Got this for my father to put pictures of his grandson on. The app doesn’t work. Constantly crashes. Says the pictures are uploaded and won’t load on the frame. Gives directions. Won’t connect to the account. Another expensive tech item that doesn’t work. Save your time and money.

### 1/5 — P.O.S   Negative 5 star rating

*2019-12-30, version 2.0*

Don’t waste your time or money. Any of the reviews w/1 star or less are how it is!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-12-29, version 2.0*

It work slow but it worked, now it won’t bind to my iPhone 11 Pro, I try everything to no avail. Very frustrated!!
Some one needs to fix app.

### 1/5 — Difficult to use

*2019-12-24*

We bought the frame for my grandmother, and when we were trying to set it up it just wouldn’t bind. Then when I was finally able to get it to bind the app kept closing out, then the frame and app weren’t connecting.. we ended up having to get a new frame

### 1/5 — App always locking up

*2019-12-17, version 2.0*

The app needs a serious fix. Constant losing the binding after freezing up. Supports advice is to delete app, reboot device and reinstall app. That has not worked so please fix the app. It is great when working

### 1/5 — Do not buy!

*2019-12-10*

This frame and app do not work. Crashes all the time. So difficult to navigate. I bought this as a gift and now I can’t return. Huge waste of time and money. Completely useless as we haven’t been able to upload a single photo.

### 1/5 — The worst app ever!!

*2019-10-16, version 1.5*

I payed extra to get a frame with capability to send wireless pic! But unfortunately because of this crashing app I lost this function!!

### 1/5 — This app makes the frame useless

*2019-10-08, version 1.5*

The app hardly ever works. It takes forever to load and I never know whether it actually sends the pictures. The frame/app glitch all the time. Can’t believe I spent money on it.

### 1/5 — Crashes after open

*2019-10-04*

What a waiste of money

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-09-08, version 1.5*

Frame unbinds randomly from app so you can’t send pictures then there is no way to reconnect it. Waste of money and support does not respond to issues. I sent them emails about this problem and they do not help or respond. Don’t buy!

### 1/5 — Do not waste your money

*2019-07-11, version 1.5*

Same as above review. Freezes up and you simply cannot upload your images. Very shoddily constructed.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2019-05-30, version 1.5*

Bought for Grandma who does not get tech this is my worst possible nightmare - complete trash!!!

### 1/5 — Glitchy and not intuitive

*2019-05-26, version 1.5*

Great idea, but is very glitchy. Problems connecting to network, confusimg design.

### 1/5 — Complete waste

*2019-05-19, version 1.5*

I wish I could give this zero stars! I bought this for my in-laws as an easy way to upload pictures for them, but the app has worked maybe twice in 6 months the rest of the time it’s frozen!  It’s completely useless and a total waste of $200!

### 1/5 — Junk

*2019-04-16, version 1.5*

I wish I had read reviews before buying the frame. The pictures go to the pixelated and blurry. An absolute waste of money

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2024-12-30, version 2.0*

I bought this for my daughter and I can’t attach it to WiFi. I also tried the other application. I thought the frame was defective but it’s not

### 1/5 — Totally useless

*2024-10-08*

I have had this frame for a few years and had some trouble at the beginning as it seemed someone else had access to my frame, but got that worked out.  Recently I switched to a new iPhone, this is now totally useless.  I had to reset the frame which deleted all my pictures and now the app freezes and won’t let me bind to it.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-08-21, version 2.0*

I use to love this frame. I have not been able to upload pictures for a long time. The app crashed,  so I deleted the app and downloaded it again. I have not been able to bind the frame to my phone ever since.

### 1/5 — Fix

*2022-08-06, version 2.0*

Mine will not bring anymore and will no load pictures from iPhone 13 pro max iOS 15.6

### 1/5 — So horrible

*2021-10-08, version 2.0*

Randomly shuts on and off, won’t bind, what a nightmare for the price

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2021-05-25, version 2.0*

Honestly should be a crime to have a product that’s is this good and pair it with a garbage app that is so hard to navigate if at all then constantly freezes and makes you resign in then you can’t access your already taken photos

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2021-02-22, version 2.0*

Can’t bind since it only has numbers and you need to put in letters. Support team doesn’t respond and they don’t answer the phone.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-02-16*

I wish I had read reviews before purchasing the frame. If I had I would have spent more and gotten a better frame with reliable service. The app doesn't work 99% of the time and the company does not care. It's a known issue and they have done nothing about it in over 3 years. I definitely would never recommend the frame or anything by Aluratek as it's a waste of time, money and energy.

### 1/5 — Obsolete

*2021-02-08, version 2.0*

I don’t think the developer is updating this app anymore.  It freezes and won’t work.  Junk.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2020-12-04*

I've struggled with my Aluratek WiFi Frame for the past three years. Immediately after the warranty expired, of course, the frame would shut off at the slightest movement. Merely moving the table it sat on would cause it to turn off.

Most likely the "mother board" was not fully secured to the inner compartment. Now, it automatically shuts off at merely walking within its perimeter.

The App is terrible. With duplicate settings that offer no explanation or instruction. 

I'm just as angry at myself for not taking action in the beginning and returning the product. I simply made the mistake that my inexperience was to blame.

I do not recommend this.

### 4/5 — Nice but app needs updating

*2018-07-16*

No issues with the app except that I agree you need to be able to see which pictures you uploaded on the app- not just on the frame.  Very frustrating to go through the process and find that you uploaded duplicates.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t stop loading unable to use

*2019-01-14*

I used to love this so much but have not been able to use it anymore as the app just stays loading spinning a circle but never loads & I am unable to upload any photos or do anything on the app. Help!!!!!!! This is horrible

### 3/5 — Love the frame, hate the app

*2018-08-03*

I love the frame, and having the ability to share photos easily with family members hundreds miles away, but the app is slow and tedious to use. It would be a 5 Star app if It didn’t take so long to send photos and also would like the ability to send more than 9 photos at a time. The ability to add and remove photos from the frame using the app would be nice too

### 3/5 — Unable to send photos from phone after iPhone update

*2018-05-20*

Need help reinstalling to be able to use app. Step by step procedure please
My son installed at Christmas but after my recent phone update I cannot send photos to the device. Help

### 3/5 — 5 star idea...barely 3 Star review

*2017-12-31*

Having been around for the birth of digital photography, the idea of being able to send photos to a frame from anywhere in the world is remarkable.  I’m still in awe of where we’ve come in terms of technology and can’t wait to see what’s next.

That being said, this app needs some work.  It’s clunky, prone to crashing and at time very, very sloooowww.  

Another issue I have is not having a way to view the photos I’ve already sent.  I’m going through and album with over 5K photos so it’s kinda hard to remember which ones I’ve already sent to my mother’s frame.  Perhaps later versions of this app could include a small thumbnail album to keep track of the photos?  

Overall I love the idea and technology behind this app and associated product.  With a little tweaking, on a rating scale of 1-5, this could easily deserve a 6!!

### 3/5 — Not bad...could be better

*2017-11-14*

The user interface is very childish looking and the app function itself is glitchy. I have to shut down, close and re-launch the app pretty frequently to get it to work. I’m using the app on an iPhone 8 Plus with iOS 11.1.1.

### 2/5 — Worked for a while but not anymore

*2019-05-03, version 1.5*

My mom loved this! It worked great for a while. Now I cannot “bind” to the frame. It will not let me. It just says “waiting for confirmation”. There is nothing to confirm on the frame and I have never had to do it before now.

### 2/5 — App is no good!

*2019-04-05*

I give it 2 out 5 because 2 is the number of times the app is actually working out 5 times I try to upload pictures! Very disappointed, you’d think, paying $200 for a frame they would make sure the app for it is working but no.

### 2/5 — App keeps crashing

*2018-08-28, version 1.3*

My photos are not transferring and the app keeps crashing.
