I bought this for my mother, since Facebook is difficult for so many older people (I'm 60, not old yet)
I ordered it one evening and it was at my house the next day! Since we live 20 miles from anything, this was pretty impressive. I realize delivery is via Amazon, but still.
Setup is simple - and so many items now do not come with extensive manuals anymore. The book that comes with the frame is is a quick setup guide only and if it weren't for the multiple languages it would be approx 1/2 page.
Really...it's possible to set it up without reading the instructions. You should be prepared to be able to plug it in, enter your wifi password, set up an online account using the serial number that will display on the screen during setup, and create an account and a password. I mistakenly put my mother's name on the account so now any photos I add to the frame say "photos added by Donna" It's not a big deal for me, but if you're setting this up for someone else to use, keep that in mind. The name only shows up the first time the photos are viewed.
You will also need to add the names and email addresses for anyone you want to allow to add photos. You can bypass this requirement using a setting to automatically approve everyone who sends to the account email as a friend, but I want to be able to restrict who has access to send photos to mom, so I appreciate this step.
Here's a few hints that I learned during setup and use.
1) Try not to screw up your initial input of wifi password - I did and spent an additional 5 - 10 minutes messing around with it until I wised up and used an online search. Simply do a factory reset using a paperclip in the small round hole. Put on a pair of glasses before you start looking for it. Here's the fix: press paperclip in hole until you hear a click, hold clip in place, plug it in again (you might need a third arm for this) keep the clip in place until it resets. Only problem with this is that if you follow the instructions to the letter it will download and reset over and over again as long as you have the clip in place. Just remove the clip when you see the firmware download is complete. Hopefully there is a workaround for this if I mess up the input of my mother's wifi when I set it up for her. It would be helpful if I could preset this for her from my location, but at least when I mail this on to her it is already preloaded with pix until I can get some 8 year old grandchild over there to set up her wifi.
2) You'll need to add friends and family to a "friends" list so they can email photos over. They will receive an email stating that they they need to download an app or create an online account. This is not accurate. Once you put their name and email on the list they can start emailing photos to the email address you create for the account for this (and any other future linked - up to 5) frame/s - just email the pix to xxxxx@mynixplay.com - whatever email address you designate. "Friends" do NOT need to download the app or create their own online account. If you have technologically challenged family members, this is good to know.
There are basic playlist (file folder) capabilities. Each list will hold 1000 photos. For our purposes, this is more than sufficient. For most parents/grandparents, this is probably just fine and I don't anticipate them ever needed to change playlists. Additionally, there is a setting to cap the size of the photos that are sent to the frame. This is helpful if you know people who don't know how to resize or are unaware that they are sending unnecessarily large files. For people with massive photo collections, they could find this cap restrictive. I'm anticipating that it will take a while for us (5 kids and 20 grandkids) to cap out the 1000 photos but I can see how it might happen and assume that this restriction will change over the next year or so.
There is also now updated syncing capabilities using google photos if you want to set up a shared photo account with your friends and family and use that for updating the frame - this is N/A for me. I don't want to deal with setting that up and explaining to my family how to use it. Also, many of the photos in my personal file are not really compatible for sharing with mom.
In the meantime, it is set up and running at our house and we're loving it. The motion sensor is terrific, being able to set the hours that it comes on and off if you were using in a sleeping area.. already planning to gift the rest of my family with these this year.
It would be great if there were some kind of incentive/discount for multiple purchases because that would make me get out the credit card now instead of buying them over the next year. (Nixplay - are you reading this?)
I REALLY WISH the high def screen came in the wood finish and in a larger size... that would be super.
Also, I'm just going out on a limb and stating that I LOVE the combo cord/stand. I prefer a sturdy cord, and if there were a separate antenna, stand and cord - well that would take away from the clean line aesthetics. I have no problems getting it to stand, but not sure what to do with the cord length. I think that might be the issue with some people because it is bulky. But it's also sturdy and very adjustable. I think it's cool. It reminds me of the old (old) electrical cords.
It's getting a 5 on durability but I haven't dropped it or covered it with spaghetti or anything (yet).
ht this, paid full price and I do not work for Nixplay.
To the Nixplay Customer Service folks: SUPER HUGE THANKS to everyone! The new cord you sent me fixed the problem.
Y’all put my faith back into customer service!
Thanks again for everything!
Best gift (as grandparents) we ever received.
Original review continues below.
************
My wife and I purchased two of the these frames with the intent of keeping one for ourselves and gifting one to my in-laws so that we could share photos of their grandkids with them. I decided to open ours and set it up first, then set up the in-laws' frame in advance. I never got to theirs. I had a relatively poor experience with these due to their limitations, and ended up returning them both.
TL;DR VERSION:
I uploaded photos from my phone (Google Pixel 4XL) into the Nixplay app, which indicated they were successfully uploaded and showing on the frame, but the actual frame would not show my photos. Eight (8) days of back-and-forth with customer service to identify this issue. Turns out, the photos taken from my cell phone were too high of resolution for the frame to display. Their solution is to use a third-party app to reduce my photo sizes before uploading...adding an annoying step (or steps) every time I want to add photos. Not worth the price tag, in our opinion, so we returned the frames.
Unrelated to my issue, but you should also know that for anyone to share photos to your frame, they are required to create a Nixplay account through which they can send the photos. I.e., they cannot send photos via email without setting up their own account. This may not be an issue for others, but it is for me, so make your own decision there.
FULL VERSION:
First, I gave this frame 2 stars instead of just 1 because despite our issues, there are some good things about this frame, that shouldn't be overlooked. Overall, the hardware is nice. The frame itself has a very modern, sleek design and seemed to be of good quality. The pictures, when displayed, were clear. The motion sense and scheduling features were nice and functioned as-expected as well. No touch-screen or physical buttons on the device, but a remote control, which has a built-in magnet that will work on the back of the frame (though only in one spot very well), was a nice touch.
The app itself was a little less than intuitive, although not bad. Adding photos was a multi-step process (first add to album, then add album to frame). I was a little confused at first (in that I wasn't entirely sure if I did it correctly), but figured it out pretty quickly without having to consult the manual. I suspect most people would be able to handle this similarly.
Now, getting into the issues we had, and although it was mainly one thing, I consider it a big oversight on Nixplay's part.
There two main ways to upload photos. For simplicity within this review, I'll refer to these as "direct upload" (directly uploading a photo from a phone into the app/frame) and "cloud sync" (linking / syncing a cloud service, such as Google Photos, to the app/frame).
I really like the cloud sync function. I used a couple Google Photos albums with our frame and it worked great. The process to connect my Google Photos albums was quick and easy, and the photos showed up almost immediately. Assuming the link with other cloud services works as well, this is probably the best feature.
Where the cloud sync worked flawlessly, the direct upload from my phone into the Nixplay app turned out to be a terrible experience. The process to upload a photo from my phone to the app itself was actually relatively quick and easy. The app indicated that all my photos uploaded from my phone (a Google Pixel 4XL - 12.2 MP camera, 4032x3024 pixel resolution) had successfully uploaded into the app/Nixplay cloud storage, and upon assigning to our frame, also indicated that the photos were showing on the frame. A look at the frame itself proved otherwise. No matter what I did, the frame would not show photos that were direct uploaded.
I searched through the manual and online to find help for this issue. After trying/checking a few common errors and coming up short, I reached out to customer service. For their part, customer service was very friendly and patient. They also required patience on my part, as it took eight days to resolve the issue, frequently with 1-2 days between our back-and-forth e-mail conversations. It ultimately took customer service requesting my account login credentials to troubleshoot for them to identify the problem: my phone's photos were of too high resolution for the 1200 x 800 pixel display.
Now, at first this seems reasonable, but here's the problem: nearly every display (computer screen, phone, tablet, tv, etc.) that I've ever used will automatically resize a photo to fit the display screen, regardless of original size (for example, I often use my 4032x3024 pixel photos as background on my phone and computer screens, both well under that resolution). This is so common that I, and even Nixplay's own customer service, didn't think about that being an issue throughout over a week of troubleshooting.
Once the resolution size issue was identified, Nixplay's solution was to use a third-party app to resize all my photos before uploading to the Nixplay app.
The whole intent of this device is to quickly and easily share photos -- to our frame and the one to be gifted to the in-laws -- from our phone's photo album (which these days is the primary camera). If the frame can't handle standard photos from a cell phone without the need for the user to take the extra step to edit photos every time they want to upload, than what's the point? To me, this was more cumbersome than it's worth.
This issue was by far the most problematic, but an "honorable mention" for disappointing limitations is that in order for someone else (family, friend, etc.) to share photos to your frame, that person is first required to create their own Nixplay account, even if they don't have a frame themselves. They cannot just send an email to your frame (via a personalized, unique email address) without having created their own account. I assume this also means they can only send the photos by uploading them to their Nixplay account first, via the app or website. This may not be a problem for some, but to us it was a big annoyance and we would never want to ask all our family members and friends to create an account and/or download an app that they don't use themselves.
We ultimately decided to return both the purchased frames in preference for a brand which did not have the limitations of the Nixplay "Smart" frame. For the price of this frame I expected better and am happy with our decision to return these and go with an alternate brand.
