This digital photo frame is much better that I was expecting. There are a few things I find annoying about it but overall I honestly would buy another (and I just might).
But let’s start with the good.
1) It has 32GB internal storage (but will take external microsd cards)
2) It can connect to wifi to update firmware and allow you to upload and share images and videos, as well as show weather and time and date.
3) It feels fairly solid (for what it is)
4) It has a touch screen which is actually very responsive.
The not so good :
1) Requires a proprietary app to sync (but you can just play photos and videos directly off the microsd card)
2) You have to manually tell it to use the external storage or else it will assume you’re uploading photos with the app (this isn’t a hard setting to change)
3) Requires you to set up an account to share photos with multiple users or give multiple users access to the frame (but if you only want to connect one device you can bypass this with guest access)
Really, I’m picky about any “smart” device that wants wifi access, especially if it has a proprietary app. My philosophy is to share as little personal data online as possible. BUT this frame provides you with ways to bypass all that and so you don’t HAVE to make an account or connect to wifi. But the functionality you get from connecting it is useful. I’ll be watching this device closely over Wireshark to see if there’s any suspicious communications but for now it seems okay. I will definitely come back and update this review if I discover anything of concern. But for now, I am quite happy with this frame and it’s features. for the price I think it’s a good deal.
