Wonderful Reflections of Life

Easy to use & brings immense joy & great conversations

Lots of reboots

I am having to unplug/ plug back in several times a week lately. Getting a “frame offline” message, yet nothing is wrong with my so-do. I really love this frame, but it’s become very frustrating

Love memories

Loading sometimes they do not load.

Love the app and caption feature

If I can be fussy, I would love the same ‘add caption feature’ from my phone’s photo share flow. It’s just so much quicker to send my photos to Aura frame from Photos app. And how about suggestive tags to help add captions?

Family, near and far

My son’s family gifted us the Aura Frame. We have had digital frames before, but never like this one. The look is nice and simple to make the photos stand out. I bought a frame for my son’s home and my mother has a frame. We can add photos and I can see my granddaughters grow in each of the photos. So, being far away is easier to tolerate when I can see their lives unfold. It is the best gift for family, near and far.

Dark Patterns & Misleading Claims

The company advertises “Unlimited Photo Storage”, but deliberately left out any kind of photo management features in the application, to disincentivize actually using that storage. Anything over a couple hundred photos is a complete disorganized mess of files, with no way to filter out duplicates or organize.

Bad

Started showing in different language and I can’t get it back to English

Ok, but many reboots

8/17/2026: latest bug, even though it’s on a 6AM wakeup it won’t unless I provide enough light. I’ve rebooted, so that’s not the issue.

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 and reels never show 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!

Loving it!

I enjoy this frame so much it is amazing especially when you have children and grandchildren who live out of town

My Aura

Wonderful the whole family are adding photographs which is great

Photo lock up on screen

Basically I bought the Aura to see pictures. Over the last couple of weeks the pictures come up but lock up and I have to pull the plug to reset the Aura. I contacted Aura by email and they said they would reset my Aura hopefully solving the problem, and it didn’t. I would like to talk to a representative hopefully solve this problem. Based on my current issue I can’t refer Aura to any of my friends or associate.

Enjoying it

My wife has moderate Alzheimers. I bought the larger size so she can watch the family and friends pictures, some going back to childhood from across the room. Luv that we get auto pic updates about kids, grans and greatgrans.

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.

Puce wifi de l’Appareil insuffisante

J’ai reçu cet appareil pour Noël dernier
Pour réussir à le connecter au wi-fi, je dois le placer à un mètre maximum de ma box
Si je l’éloigne, il se déconnecte
Quelle déception
Pouvez-vous faire quelque chose pour moi ?
Cordialement
Marie

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.

Awesome photo frame

A wonderful gift for my daughter. I love the pictures automatically scrolling daily and I have to get up many times to figure out what I’m looking at because it’s been so many years since I saw this particular photo. It’s wonderful to re-remind me of all the wonderful times I’ve had in my life.
