5 Stars Great frame and fantastic service
I bought this frame a couple weeks ago and set it up at my parent’s house last week. I had no problems at all with getting it connected to the internet, setup was a breeze. My father has a Picasa account and had the frame displaying pictures from his web album in short order. We signed up for an email address on the Pix-Star website and my sister sent a pic from her cell, less than a minute later the frame dinged, my Mom said “This is going to be fun”, and pushed a button on the remote and the picture shows up on the frame. All this happened within 20 minutes of opening the box!
Now for a comment about the service. A little later that day I tried sending a pic from my cell phone (Verizon) and it never showed up… I tried again the next day and copied my yahoo email account along with the frame and again a no show at the frame but I did receive it at my yahoo account. So, I sent a help request to Pix-Star explaining the problem and expected not much, based on previous experience with other company’s customer service. However, with Pix-Star, I received an email reply that evening asking me to send a pic from my Verizon phone to their email address. A day later the problem is resolved, no generic ‘maybe in the next firmware update’ or ‘Thanks for your feedback’ reply, they just fixed the problem! Fantastic!
So, needless to say, I’m very happy with this frame so far, and expect it will provide much entertainment for my family for years to come!
5 Stars Easy to use and very powerful!
I bought this product a few months ago and it has just everything you want from a connected photoframe! Connection to web albums (Picasa, Facebook, Smugmug, and 10 others…), listening to web radios, and the reception of pictures by email directly on the frame without a PC thanks to its dedicated email address.
All the family likes it very much !
5 Stars Great Frame! My parents love to get instant fresh pictures of my kids.
I bought this frame thinking that I would like to have a frame to show my wife and kids some pictures of where I am when I travel for work, but it turned out to be the miracle frame for my parents to connect with our lives.
I sent them a picture when we were sailing on San Francisco Bay, emailed it from my phone, and then called them from my phone.
They said, “Those are fantastic pictures of you on the bay, when did you go sailing?”
I said, “You guys still don’t get it. We are sailing right now! When you get pictures, it only takes 20-40 seconds from when I send it.”
I also emailed them pictures direct from the ski slopes in Tahoe.
My parents have never felt so connected with our family (they live in NY). When I send them a new picture, there is a little chime implying “here I am!”. They keep it in the kitchen so that they see them all the time.
Set up is incredibly easy, and many of the features are controllable from the web, so that I can manage the frame for my parents remotely.
