Volume and mute controls
Suggest adding a volume and mute control to the frame in future designs. Perhaps along the top or edge where it is convenient. It's very inconvenient to locate the remote and hold down the volume control to get to a muted state. Additionally, I was unable to find any reference to volume controls in your manual or knowledge base so it took a bit of trial and error to figure it out.

Auto-connect to available public wifi or mobile hotspots
My father-in-law is in a nursing home without public (open) WiFi network. It would be great to have the PixStar "automatically" connect and retrieve new pictures whenever it sniffs out a open hotspot. If someone comes into the building with a cell phone mobile hotspot enabled or if I'm visiting him, the frame can be updated without permanent connection to a WiFi network.

Support for importing from Amazon Drive and Prime Photos
Would be awesome to be able to import from Amazon Drive and Prime Photos. I have thousands of photos saved there.
44 votesWe would be very happy also to support Amazon drive but currently Amazon does not accept any new developper to connect to their system.
I suggest you contact them and suggest them to re-open the developper application process, we would be very happy to add Amazon Drive to the frame external support list.

can't find the e mail address to ask you a question as the form is not prepopulated with it!
Perhaps you can help anyway. What else do I need to be able to load photos onto the Pix-Star FotoConnect? Memory sticks? SiIMS cards?
Thanks

1 votehello,
you can just send pictures by email to the frame, make sure the frame is connected to your wifi network.
if you prefer you can also use a SD card and from the file manager of the frame you can copy pictures onto it.
for further question send us an email to
info@pix-star..com
our customer support Team will help you.

Bulk actions for pictures on the frame - Select ALL
The management of large numbers of pictures on a frame is somewhat cumbersome. While some filters and bulk actions are supported, two things would make management of large numbers of pictures would be
1. An option to display ALL pictures without having to continually
scroll down.
2. A Bulk Action of "Select All".Also it is not clear when using filters if the bulk actions work against ALL pictures, or just those displayed in the filter. This needs to be made clear.

We don’t plan such size for the moment as the price of the frame would be extremely expensive which would put a strong limit on the sales.

Weather page viewing options
It would be nice to have one or more of the following options:
1. Display weather photos every n photos. Where n is user selectable in some way. Like show the weather every 10 photos or every 20 photos.
2. Display the weather photos as the first photos when the frame starts up with a prompt to hit some button on the remote of the frame to start my slideshow. This way since I have my frame turn on every morning at 6am, for example, when I wake up and look at the frame it will be showing me what…3 votes -

As said in the other reply to your other suggestion, after you turn on the device, once the main menu shows up, if you don’t touch anything after 20 seconds the slide show already starts up automatically.
So there is nothing to do for the user here.

Search Button
It would be great if when uploading pictures from an external source, such as Shutterfly, that I could type in the title of the album to locate it instead of having to scroll through all my albums. Or, put the albums in alphabetical order to locate it faster.

wallpaper
if there was an option, similar to motion sensor, but instead of a black screen have a chosen picture as a wallpaper/background option, so now it at least looks like a picture frame, it there is no movement. With that have the option to go power off and on at certain times, at night or away.
1 voteThe motion sensor is used to turn off the screen and put the device into sleep mode to save energy so there is no way to display a picture or wallpaper when in this state.

Sharing photos from iCloud
iCloud photo sharing allows for the creation of "web albums":
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202786
Since Pix-Star frames are able to access photos from web albums, an album shared with Apple Photos and the "publish to website" option turned on should be able to be read by the frame.
1 voteNo it is not working with iCloud, there is no way to access pictures thee if you are not from Apple or and Apple device.
