Family Love

My Daughter in law bought me one, then I bought my Mom, Sister and friend one.
Then my brother and another friend and my two children bought one and WE ALL LOVE THEM!
I just got a posting of my grandson that I will now update to everyone’s frame.
FANTASTIC!!

Great but needs playlists feature

This is a great product and would get 5 stars. But it baffles me that there is not a settling on the app to configure independent playlists or slideshow customization. Otherwise you always have to cycle the same group to photos.
Please add enhancement to enable multiple album/slideshow configurations.

We love this

The photo frame is terrific and the app is easy to use. Inviting others to add photos is a great feature that works well and is easy to do. Inviting others to add photos is a bit confusing at first because multiple connection options are available, but that was quickly solved. The whole setup was done in less than 30 minutes and we had photos loading right away- and some new ones almost every day.

Insane battery consumption and overheating

The app heats up my 14pro like nothing else becomes too hot to touch after 5 min of use and drains about 10% of battery. At a point where I no longer can add more photos because the app damages my phone.
In addition can’t turn off Live Photos no matter what I do once I come back Live Photo is still enabled.
Such a bad app for such an expensive product don’t buy and go for the cheaper versions!
