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.

Update the photos more often
First of all can I just say that the customer service I've revived from Arnaud had been fantastic.
However, I would like it if the photos (especially from Google) to be automatically imported more often.
It says that they are update 4 times a day, so that would theoretically mean that the longest you should have to wait is 6 hours. But I have found that not to be the case.
From what I can tell, they have only been importing once per day at around 17:00 to 18:00 GMT.
This isn't a huge problem, but it would be nice…
18 votesDue to huge amount of pictures and web album we have now from these external providers and that the provider don’t provide a solution to notify us when a change is made in their albums, we can’t implement this update to be more often.
We are very sorry about this.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I want to have photos play in the order I choose
I want to have photos in each folder play in the order of my choosing then move on and do the same for the next folder so that I can show all the photos from one event together, then move on to a different event or time period.

Need clear instruction on how to transfer pictures to the digital frame sent by web link via email
It should be as simple as mailing those pictures from the web link to the frame setup email.

Allow photos to be stretched to fill the screen - in all cases
The smart fill option does not really work well. The restriction that the picture has to be a certain resolution before it will be stretched would only make sense for purists. For most people landscapes and even portraits should never be displayed with black bars or as a small box. I have sent high resolution pictures to the frame that don't even fill the frame. At the very least, the user should be given the option to override the minimum resolution requirement. It would be great if this could be done.
8 votesStretching pictures in all cases would really make them look very ugly, we prefer to avoid doing this.

Automatically delete older photos from web-feed when upper limit reached
I have my flickr photos import to Pix-star as a web-album. However, the album has recently stopped updating, as I have over 3000 Flickr photos.
Ideally, it would be nice not to have that 3000 photo cap. Alternatively, I'd like the option to be able to boot out the older photos when new ones are added, so that the feed continues to update.

How to add radio stations to "Radio Playlists"? I only have 17 stations on frame and most don't work.
There is not much information on how to use the web radio function in the knowledge base nor the Radio Playlist or custom web radio functions. I just set-up my frame and only see 17 stations of which most are not functional.
