PhotoSpringㅤ Classic Subscription Free 10in WiFi Digital Picture Frame | Send Photos by Email, App, or Web | Touchscreen & 32GB Internal Memory | Play Videos up to 5 min | White

Amazing Picture frame! I got one frame for our family, and one for my parents (the grandparents). Since they live in another state, we were excited about having a simple way to share pictures with them—they love pictures of the grand-kids. I’ve been using the frame for about a month now, and have been impressed with how smoothly it works.My previous digital picture frame still has the original batch of pictures I uploaded when I first got it. It was such a pain to update and change pictures, like many of the other digital frames. We take so many pictures, I wanted a simple way to add and change and modify them and keep them updated. I also was looking for something simple enough for my parents, who are intimidated by electronics, to be able to use. A friend recommended PhotoSpring, and I compared it to Nix and the others with WiFi and the ability to send pictures directly from your smart phone. PhotoSpring had the features I was looking for, and the easiest to use.Pros:Has a touch screen interface— It works basically like an iPad. This is a must, especially for the grandparents. No need to find the remote to use it. Intuitive interface, with touch controls. This makes it easy to manage the pictures. Removing pictures you don’t want is as simple as a tap rather than going though an app or menu system like the competitors. You can select different playlists to play alternate sets of photos as well. This device has excellent screen resolution and clarity, and convenient size.Easy to set up— Instead of having to read a manual, or get referred to a web site to figure out how to use it like other frames in this class, PhotoSpring comes with a built in slide show with instructions that you can swipe through (and swipe back and fourth to review if you like) that shows you how to use it. I do recommend going through the slide show before setting it up. I go back to it every now and then and have picked up more features I had over looked initially.Smart Phone compatible—There’s a simple app to manage the frame and add pictures (as well as through the website). Through the app you can also select to have all the pictures taken from your phone automatically sent to the frame if you chose. It’s easy to hide the ones you don’t want to show by tapping on the picture and tapping the hide icon. Or use the 4 finger swipe gesture. You can manage multiple frames, and share photos through the app as well.Photo Sharing – You can send invites to friends and family to send pictures to your frame. Through the smartphone app, website or frame itself, you can send a code which links the app to your frame. Once frames are linked to your app, you can choose which frames you would like to send pictures too. (You can also manage several frames if you have multiple in your own house.) Friends and family can then send photos directly to your frame. The grandparents love this feature. My mom often calls to comment when new pictures pop up on her frame.Video—Video works as easily as the pictures. It has built in speakers and you can adjust the audio volume.Sturdy charging cradle/stand completely hidden behind frame, and it’s battery powered as well. You can pick it up and use it like a tablet without cords to unplug or plug back in. There is also a sleep schedule function for hours it does not need to be on.Cons:The app only has small thumbnails of the pictures to select and send to the frame – can be hard to see detail especially when you take several of the same shot. However, I found with the iPhone app installed, I can send pictures them directly through the iPhone camera roll. Just select the picture on camera roll then tap on the share/export icon (the one with the square and up arrow on the bottom left) then tap the PhotoSpring icon (if you don’t see it on the top row, you can enable it by scrolling to the right tap on the icon with three dots labeled “more” and add it to the options).No SD card / USB ability – not an issue for me, I prefer Wifi, but if you don’t have Wifi, and depend on loading directly from your digital camera SD card or USB computer connection, this may not work for you. You can easily upload pictures from a digital camera using the website upload option, but still needs wifi for this.One color, one size. It just comes in white, with 10 inch screen. Works fine for me, but would be nice to have all these features in additional options. It does come with different memory storage options though. The basic is 16GB, (twice as much as Nix comes with). Also comes in 32 and 80GB.Bottom Line: Easy to use, intuitive, packed with features.

This is my review of the PhotoSpring 10 Inch 16GB Wi-Fi Digital Photo Frame. The display screen is bright, and it is easy to view in various lighting conditions, even in bright daylight.The pixel resolution is 1280x800. Images are displayed accurately in terms of coloring, viewing angles were not problematic, and the overall image is beautiful. Videos played back smoothly on the frame.The PhotoSpring touch screen is responsive.It is easy to customize playlists and select photos. You can also use automated playlists to save time and effort. A virtual keyboard pops up when appropriate. You can use gestures to delete, hide, or favorite your photos quickly with the touch screen.The device runs off its internal lithium ion battery and it also plugs into a power cord that ends in a two-prong charger. It comes with a white plastic cradle that accommodates either Landscape or Portrait orientation. The frame feels solidly built and its one button that I use most often (the power button) seems like it is built to last. The frame comes in white only (a bright white hue similar to what Samsung and Apple use), and as far as I could tell, there are no other colors at the time of this review.Selection, display and organization of photos with the PhotoSpring is effective. It strikes a nice balance between automation (via a bunch of algorithms) and personal customization---you can have it both ways. The gathering of videos and photos for the frame is achieved through the cloud. I liked how it easily gathered photos. Photos can be transferred to the frame from anyone with a smartphone, tablet or PC. A second PhotoSpring frame is not needed to send images and video to another PhotoSpring. The gathering process is effective and takes little effort.This to me is what separates the PhotoSpring from previous frames, memory sticks are no longer needed because new incoming images are sent in the cloud.The PhotoSpring’s cloud storage provides another layer of redundancy for backing up your photos and videos. The 16 GB provided on my frame can store thousands of photos; I believe there is a 32 GB version available as well for those with large video files or massive photo collections. Sharing a photo is easy using the PhotoSpring app. I select images from my smartphone and click send. Owners of the frame grant permission (this only has to happen once) to receive images. Once this authorization is complete, I can send images to my friend’s PhotoSpring in seconds (or a few minutes if the upload is large). You don’t have to settle for sending photos one at a time, you can select multiple photos and just click the Send button once. There is a live, real-time message that keeps you updated on how many images have uploaded until it is complete. Easy. If you can text a photo to someone on your phone, you can upload a photo to PhotoSpring.The displaying of videos or photos uses a playlist approach similar to an Android or Apple device.Setup of the PhotoSpring was fairly quick (you power it on, connect it to Wi-Fi, create an online account). If you were to gift the PhotoSpring to a family member who is not tech savvy, be sure during setup that they know the name of their Wi-Fi network and their network’s Wi-Fi password in order to set up the frame.This is well-engineered hardware that has cloud-based component, so I was curious what would happen if my broadband connection was taken down, especially with extreme weather. I turned off my router for a few minutes to test this. The PhotoSpring device happily kept showing all the videos and photos loaded onto it. It resumed downloading new images once I restored the broadband connection.One thing I like about the PhotoSpring 10 Inch 16GB Wi-Fi Digital Photo Frame is that its makers seem be embracing a continuous deployment approach. In other words, the company is adding meaningful services and features (the touchscreen menu reports that a Set Sleep Timer function is coming soon) without requiring you to pay for them. Using the PhotoSpring app is free for me with no hidden charges. In the short time since I bought my PhotoSpring, the company added the ability to play videos. This adds value. I tested this out only briefly; the videos looked sharp and the sound from the built-in 2 watt mono speaker was adequate. There is a volume control and brightness control on the touchscreen menu, so a few swipes let you control this. This a great digital photo frame that intelligently uses the cloud to gather your photos and videos.

We bought this for my mom for her birthday and we all send pictures of the grandkids, she loves it we can easily send the pictures through email so its very convenient! the picture quality is perfect

A great choice for a digital frame. Easy set up, quality made. Easy for others to send photos to your frame. Would have given it 5 stars except for: no alert/popup when new photos arrive; power cord is a bit loose at plug-in; motion-sensing activation would be my personal preference.Definitely recommend though.

My husband got this for me for Christmas and it's been amazing. We love watching the photos change out and very easy to set up.

I bought this to use for events I do for a dog rescue to help advertise our animals, and wanted something battery operated since we don't always have access to power. It worked one time, then after that I could plug it in all night and the battery never fully charged, I tried multiple times, different outlets same problem every time. I used it recently where it was plugged in the whole time, and it would run and just shut off, or when you went to turn it back on, it would just turn back off and show the battery charging. Plus the ease of use is horrible, I have another digital frame I use for my mom, and I can easily send things via the app, this one is horrible for getting photos/videos added. Not worth the money, time or headache!

I bought this for my mom for Christmas. It is amazing. I love how easy it is to add photos to the frame. Also she can approve others to add pictures for her as well.

Love this for my father who has dementia and doesn't get to visit family as often as he likes. He loves to look at the pictures. We can add from a distance and also move through the screen when we are there with him. Great product!

This is a great product for grandparents who don’t often see family. We can send up to date pictures and videos at any time.

Love it!

Hi I ordered this and got it for my girlfriend for Christmas and also sent an email back to you guys about your question in how I like the photo spring but didn’t get a reply. My email was about the product my girlfriend went to open the box and it almost looked like the circle stickers had been tampered with but they weren’t broken so she just opened the package and the screen was all covered like it should be and the base was there but there was no power cord, I hope I can brief a power cord sent to me for it! We want to keep the product because it’s exactly what we’re looking for we just need the power cord in order to start using it thank you hope to hear back from you

It’s a good product when it works! the charging process is a bit annoying. When I charge direct from the power source doesn’t work properly, when I charge from the base charger, it charges but very slow. It seems the battery is always at 13% charged. It was a gift to my mom in Brazil; therefore, I couldn’t return or exchange for another one as I purchased it in Canada. Also, there was no remote control as it show in the picture. The Wifi idea is great, I wish it could work charge better and/or work better :(

Ordered this item and had 2 products arrive that won't even turn on. Beware of poor quality control.
