User Reviews for Aura Frames
A couple improvements could be made, but we love it
Some photos, particularly photos taken vertically, get resized and the app tends to take the bottom 80% of the photo which tends to chop everyone’s heads off at the top. If it has to be a simple program, I would say taking the top 80% would be better. Luckily, as the frame admin, I can resize any photos uploaded from anyone, but we have 20+ people uploading photos for my grandma and it can be time consuming to keep up with it. Only other complaint is that it would be nice to be able to send one invite link to everyone you’re inviting, instead of individual links for each person. Inviting 20+ people individually was kind of a pain. Other than these issues, the app is fairly easy to use and my grandmother is LOVING being able to keep up with all the family that’s scattered worldwide!
Awesome concept, needs some serious UX work
Love the concept and the execution is perfectly functional. However, the overall workflow of the app is unintuitive and there are some misleading processes to get photos where you want them. For instance, “save” doesn’t accurately express that pressing that button will send a photo to a frame. There are redundant processes that seem to use different theories of execution. All in all, it’s pretty frustrating given its learning curve—another pass or two through UX quality control and testing would help a lot.Other features that would really sell the app:• Option to add a timer to photos so that they auto-delete after a certain period of time, enabling temporary pictures• Option to tune the display algorithm to, for instance, adjust the relative frequencies of recent and older images• Integration with iOS share menu, for easy sending to a frame from within the native photos app• Video support (Live Photos are awesome, videos would be great, too!)• Web app for easy access on other devicesAs I opened with, I love the whole kit, and the Aura frame is lovely hardware—the app just feels like a beta release and could really stand some dedicated development time.Thanks, y’all!
My only complaint
I like this frame very much, but I have one complaint and it’s kinda big deal. I see others do as well. The shuffle is horrible!!! I feel like it shows the same pictures over and over I currently have 700 pictures in my frame and not only does it just show them all in the same order- the same day the pic was taken but it also just shows the same photos over and over. I noticed in the app as well so many pictures are blocked out so I have no idea what they are and they don’t play. I end up uploading the same photos again because it’s just a white box. Extremely annoying... So yess that’s very frustrating!! Besides that I guess it’s a good frame. I really hope they get this issue fixed and then I think it would be the perfect frame
Disappointed with photo order
Overall, I like the frame and app. My son and daughter also have frames. My biggest complaint is the “random” order of photos. It seems to assume that if you upload a lot of photos at once, they are less important than when you only upload one or two photos. So, certain photos repeatedly display. That simply doesn’t apply to me. I am scanning and uploading photos from 50 years and even older, so an upload may have photos from various years and subjects. Please add an option for full random! We should also be allowed to tag photos such as travel, certain family members, etc. — this would allow display for a purpose for event. I have an older frame from a different vendor that doesn’t require WiFi and allows upload directly from a computer - that functionality has value that the Aura frame doesn’t have.
Great frame, some features needed
This frame turned out to be the perfect holiday gift for my elderly parents. Remote set-up was relatively easy, and my parents love it. I wish it had these features: 1) would let you put added photos into albums or categories and let you choose to show only certain albums at certain times. It’d be fun, for example, for my parents’ anniversary, to only show pics of them together that day or on a kid’s birthday let you only show that kid’s photos that day; 2) would let you rearrange the order of the shuffle; 3) would do better at auto-positioning photos to fit in the frame. You have to do a fair amount of going into each photo to pinch it/reposition it to display photos properly without people’s heads cut off. But overall, intuitive and easy to use app and good frame.
Works seamlessly
I bought a couple of different models that were cheaper and appeared to have some options that might be better but come to find out they were not. One I used didn’t have a simple way to invite others to upload and share photos easiest, another required a subscription to allow more a few gigs of space. The other only allowed you to upload 8 pictures at a time. All of these things were not issues. Biggest pros, easy to invite people to share photos right away, unlimited cloud storage with out an additional costs. Biggest set backs are two things. It is not a touch screen and there are no additional slots for storage or uploading pictures.
Good idea but needs some fixes
I have been helping my in-laws set this up as they got this for a gift. I set it up on their iPad. It was disappointing that there is not an iPad version of the app only an iPhone sized one. I added photos from the iPad. If it is in landscape mode it will crop the portrait photos and vice versa. It would be nice to have the option to display the full photo without having it cropped. I sent out invites to share photos to all the kids and grandkids emails through the app. No one received any emails. I thought it may be delayed due to Christmas Day volume. After digging on their website, it turns out that you must have the app to share photos. Fine but how is anyone supposed to know that? It would be nice if they would send out an email inviting you to download the app and join. The motion sensor on the frame is inconsistent at best to swipe the photos.
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!
Love the frame dislike the nagware
The aura frame is such a brilliant idea and I love being able to share photos with my family. The thing I wished that the app would tone down is the nagware regarding sharing my entire photo album with the app. If you choose to only share a subset, the app with send you with badge alerts on the app as well as pop up notifications once per week even when I am not using the app telling me to share my whole library. This type of incessant pestering completely destroys my faith in this app to do the right thing and now I refuse on principal to share my whole library even though I recognize that my initial decision to do so was a bit paranoid on my part. App devs, please remove this abusive behavior and realize that “no means no” with regards to sharing my whole library.
Awesomely photo viewing 💜, no sorting ability 😔
I absolutely love looking at my family photos, but I absolutely hate not being able to simply view them by any kind of sorting order. For example, one of my grandkids comes over and I want to view the pictures of just her so she and I can look at them together. Or, of her mom, or brother, or cousins. Or, I want to look at a series of pictures taken on same day, the same location, or sort by objects (cars, colors, sky, clouds, etc.).There have been basic sorting features (now with great facial recognition) in so many applications and programs for years, it is incredible to me that something so basic is not available for this awesome frame. Why would a database sorting feature of the photos on my Aura photo frame be so difficult for you guys to implement?
