Ok, but many reboots

8/8/26 update: Frame is still buggy, too many reboots/update checks. Plus now we notice sone videos stop loading & won’t play, or just don’t load. And many recent uploaded photos snd reels never dhow up.

It’s been entertaining, BUT it reboots too many times during the day. Very annoying. Why check for updates everyday, multiple times each day. You folks control the feed, so why not SEND an update when available? And, IT IS NOT A WIFI OR NETWORK ISSUE! Everything else connected to our network works fine!

Memories

Love the opportunity to safe memories past and present!
Easy to maneuver!
Love it!

Need albums

App needs albums and the ability to save batches of pics at a time as a backup. Like the frame itself, not the software.

Pretty good

Would love to have ability to group photos into folders and then hide the whole folder from displaying… and switch folders. Doing it picture by picture it too much. For instance… my aunts birthday id coming up. I’d like to remove all the photos for the day and just have a special bday photo message display.

Aura app, good enough

The Aura Frames app works surprisingly well. I like that the app is fairly easy to learn and navigate, even without reading any instructions. There is one minor improvement that I’d like to see. When I select the current frame (the device itself), can Aura please tell us the model (version) of the physical frame? This may come in handy if a household has MULTIPLE frames running. Which frame is which? Am about to uload to the small 10” frame? Or is it the big 15” frame? Aura, please identify the frame in question.
