User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Not quite as advertised
I was hoping this would be a simple to use digital frame for my father. It was not quite as simple as advertised and customer service was very demeaning. I tried to load pictures to the frame directly from the memory cards (as they recommended as the best option). One memory card could be read to show the thumbnails but would not copy to the frame. The other one partially did. I tried to unsuccessfully download some software that was supposed to help. Finally, I called tech support and asked them. They basically told me I was an idiot for trying to download the software and told me to load the pictures on my computer and copy them to then frame. This is exactly opposite of their directions which discourage that because they say it will slow down the slide shows. I was finally able to load my pictures via computer (which will be more difficult for my tech illiterate father), but I bought the frame because a computer was supposedly not needed. Otherwise, the pictures look good for the price and it holds a lot of pictures.
4 Stars Nice Frame
I recently bought this frame for a friend for Father’s Day that is elderly. I was worried about him not being able to operate it. But, he had no problems at all, and the frame works great. He’s very happy with it!
4 Stars So far I like it
I bought it recently and so far I like it. Very clear and sharp picture and pretty good sound. I did not put 5 stars just because I am not sure about reliability of the product because I am using it for a short period of time. Overall it is a very good product.
