Title: DIGITAL PHOTO FRAME
Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 STARS OUT OF 5 STARS) My family and I highly recommend this digital photo frame for a variety of reasons but mainly because of its simple design. The frame itself is fully intact when delivered. Meaning, there aren’t any tiny pieces you’ll have to join together to build. The connection and setup is basic and is all completed once you follow the connection prompts automatically displayed on the screen of the photo frame when the device is initially plugged into a power source. Once connected to WiFi you’ll need to download the Nixplay app and create an account which will allow you to link your newly created account to the desired frame. Once fully connected and linked the uploading of photos is as easy and basic as can be. The app will ask you to allow access to your photos on your cell phone and once this access is allowed you simply select the photos you wish to display and select the ‘upload’ button. This basically is confirming all of the photos you’ve designated from your camera roll will be uploaded via WiFi connection to your new photo frame. All newly uploaded pictures are added to the rotation along with all of the previous uploaded pictures. The app allows you to set the speed of the picture rotation and also gives the option to display the date and time at the bottom of the screen to be displayed at all times while all of the pictures filters through. The frame is pretty pricy and is definitely not inexpensive for a photo picture frame but my family has grown to love watching it! My family and I find ourselves watching the frame cycle through all of the pictures sometimes even more intently than watching a TV program.My mother has this frame in her living room and all of my siblings downloaded the Nixplay app and logged in to her account allowing each of us to individually add photos to her frame and update & add content periodically. Our mom is pleasantly surprised when she spots a newly added picture and it puts a smile on her face! I ended up ordering a frame for myself and simply added the serial number of the new frame to my mom’s existing account. Her app now displays two frame icons when opening the app so make sure to select which frame, or both, you wish to add your pictures to. Also, setting up our frames this way allows everyone access to add pictures to my frame as well.

Title: Great frame. East to setup and update photos
Review: I bought this bigger digital frame to update a smaller size Nixplay for my mother because she couldn’t see the old one as well. This was a great upgrade for her and setting it up on our existing account was very easy and all photos we wanted to transfer did so seemlessly. It has an excellent display and also plays videos. We can also easily add photos and videos remotely. Nixplay makes a really high quality, great product and user interface. I highly recommend it.

Title: Great item!
Review: I bought this for my mother in law because they don’t live in the same town as us. It’s a great way to share daily pictures and memories. She always enjoys watching the pictures. It’s so easy to set up and fits perfect on a basic shelf!

Title: Sleek design, little substance. [UPDATED: Dec 11, 2020]
Review: ***UPDATE (12/11/2020): I am updating this post following an e-mail from Nixplay customer service which identified the issue I was having as being due to "a recent version of the Google Camera App". According to the Nixplay rep, they have now updated their software to fix this issue. Unfortunately, we had already returned the frames, so I cannot test this fix. However, I am changing my overall rating from 2 to 4 stars, since this "major oversight" turned out to be a minor glitch that is supposedly resolved and shouldn't be a problem for others.***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.

Review: I bought the 10 inch before. The screen is so small. Then I bought the 15 inch and I am happy and satisfied. Never really used the motion sensor because I use the smart plug for Google Alexa that I can shut off the power when we are not home.On the 10 inch, SOME of the landscape pictures are full screen and some are not. The portrait seems small. But on the 15 inch, all landscape pictures are full screen and the portrait is bigger.
