Aura Frames 4+

Easy to Gift & Easy to Use

I can share pictures from my phone AT ANY TIME!!! My dad lives 40 minutes away and it would be a pain to have to manually go over there and update the SD card with new pictures. My dad and I are both in IT and highly value efficiency. I also love that there is no monthly fee, and no limit to how many people we can add to our frame (no extra cost per person)! The only things I wish I could add would be quotes. There are times where I have a small story or quote someone said that I’d like to share. It would totally would be hard to read if the text was long. Maybe having the option to show a small watermark that displays live on the frame: the location and date of each picture. Another thing: captions or tags. “Omaha Zoo Trip 2019” for example. With option to display live on frame per picture.

Where are all my pictures?

I have three aura frames with thousands of pictures on each but I see the same pictures and many never pop up. Once the slide show starts it should rotate through them all before showing again. I don’t want it set to chronological because I like the randomness of what picture is next instead of a group of pictures from the same event all in a row. But I never see most of the pictures that are on the frame.

Another issue when you have multiple people invited to share pictures- sometimes they share the same ones. The app should recognize when there is a picture that is the same or similar and ask whether you want to delete one or not. My father tends to add the same pictures over and over then I have to go through the thousands of pictures to see if it is already there.

Finally if the frame is horizontal and you add a vertical picture, the frame sometimes cuts off the tops. It takes too much time to go through and reposition all the pictures to fit the frame.

Great frame- app could use some perks

The frame is easy to set up and I’m excited to give another as a gift.
I wish the app have the ability to add albums, where you could sort pictures into different albums, and choose which one you wanted to display. That way you could keep favorite photos on the frame and keep track of them but you wouldn’t necessarily need to have those in the rotation at all times. It would be extra cool if you could even set specific time frames for what albums you would like. For example- I want to see all of my family photos around Christmas time, so a winter album would be great if I could set that up to run from November to December. Or just albums for other custom things and I can control when to run them- but again, instead of having to make albums on my phone.
Another feature that I think could use some finessing is that it takes a lot of steps to download photos when someone else adds it to the frame- so finding a way to make that easier would be great!
