Weather pages are nearly impossible to read - Please re-design!
While the weather pages contain useful information, they are nearly impossible to read due to poor design.
Please change (or eliminate) useless graphics and use contrasting colors to make city name 'pop.'
You can't read from across the room. Have mercy on us 'boomers' with less than perfect eyesight!

Display Captions that have already been entered into the .jpg photo by another editor
The IPTC metadata of the photos has Captions that I have entered using another editor. Picasa in my case but could be a different photo editor. The Caption can be seen when viewing the Properties of the photos - shows as the Title or Caption.
I would like Captions to be a Display Detail that I could select to display with my photo instead of Picture Name etc.

Please add touch screen and I will buy my second one asap!
I bought this for my mom and I love it so much that I want one. The only reason why I haven't bought is because it doesn't have a touch screen. My husband found one online that does and now we are going back and forth. I want the touch screen.

Display photos in folders in same order as are on SD/USB
I would really, really like to see my photos of a travel trip in the order they were taken. From a folder on an SD and/or USB drive, I would like all the photos in that folder to be display in the order within the folder. Since PixStar does not work with date taken, I can arrange the photos on my drive in date taken order. All I need is for PixStar to display them in the order I have them on the drive. I'm not asking for them to be copied to Internal Memory in that order but to…

Display Inbox before other Internal Memory Folders
Currently the internal Memory displays folders in alphabetical order. The Inbox is displayed within these folders in alphabetical order. For example, the Inbox displays after the Glacier folder and before the Oregon folder. I would like the Inbox to display before (or after) all the folders in Internal Memory. Because I cannot name the Inbox, I cannot adjust in what order it should display. I use my photo frame for displaying many albums of travel photos that I can display in an order I would like. The Inbox tends to be full of grandchild photos that don't make sense between…

Add a custom countdown calendar
It would be great to add a custom countdown calendar. Select a date in the future with a custom title so everyday it counts down to the special event or holiday! So let's say 10 days to Christmas or 3 years 15 days until retirement!

Night mode
I’d like to have a night mode setting. I currently leverage motion sensor activation, but I don’t want it triggered during certain hours. Having the night mode disable the sensor would help not blind me when I walk by in the pitch dark. Similarly, for those who still want to see their pictures in the dark, allow night mode to automatically dim the screen.

Display of Photo Name
There are a few limitations in the way the frame display a Picture Name
First, the length appears to be limited to 49 characters, which is too few.
Second, when the length exceeds 49 characters, the frame shortens it by leaving out text in the middle of the Picture Name.
I have a lot of pictures of Paintings, which contain the name of the Painter, the title of the Painting and the year it was made.
When I look at text on the frame, I really don't care about the Pix-Star picture number or the fact that it is in…3 votes -
Simultaneous view on my computer what is being viewed on the frame
I would love to be able to see on my computer what my mom is seeing on her frame, while I talk to her on the phone. She is in a nursing home, and loves her frame, and we her kids love to send pictures and talk about them. If we could have the same view simultaneously, that would enhance the experience for us so much!

Seems that Pix-Star frame creates its own index of a DLNA feed.
It would be useful to have an option to skip the Pix-Star indexing. It's quite slow and results in pictures being sorted in a different order than my DLNA server's tree.
The sort-order menu item on the Pix-Star doesn't seem to work with a DLNA feed. I've tried two servers: miniDLNA and Gerbera. In both cases the sort order doesn't work.

Select specific albums to display via web interface (pix-star.com)
Allow the user to select specific Pix-star web albums on the Pix-star website to display in the Pix-star frame.
For example, if I have 20 web albums I want to be able to select 1-7, 11, 15-17 and 20. The unselected albums will not display on the frame. If I decide to add album 8 and remove album 2 I can do so.
This allows the user to display web folder content in context/as desired - for example holiday pictures, or pictures of visiting family/friends, and so on.

Inbox folder mode should show the sender's name on the frames main menu of folders
When sending photos via the phone app the frame creates an inbox folder with a name made up of twelve numbers and letters, and no indication who the sender is. The info is there because if you login to your account and select "My Inbox" and then choose "filter by sender", info will be displayed as photo sent by "name of phone" for example: Bob's iPhone followed by the twelve character ID created for the folder name. It would be very helpful if the frame displayed the sender's phone name as part of the folder name, same as the web…

Show photos from QNAP Photostation 5 virtual albums
I have QNAP NAS model 219P+ with Photostation 5. Photostation 5 has the ability to organize "virtual" albums from pictures stored in the folders. The albums created under Photostation do show up in Pixstar frame under the DLNA connection, but none of the photos in the album show. Would love to be able to organize photos from across the NAS into single album for display on PixStar frame.

OneDrive Album support
Please add support for OneDrive Albums. Right now I can select particular folders within OneDrive, but I want to show specific pictures within my folders. I could "put" those pictures in a OneDrive album (it's not a physical file, just some kind of tagging within OneDrive) and then connect my frame to that album.
