  2. Allow weather to be scheduled for display daily

    The weather function isn't very useful when you never know when it is going to come up on the slide show. It would be great if we could schedule the weather to show up, up to two times per day. This way, for example, I could tell it to display only the weather for 1 hour daily from 7-8am and 8-9pm so we know at a glance what the weather is going to be for that day and prepare for the next day in the evening.

  3. Do not show the (very) small pictures

    The frame show also the very very small picture. They are so small that it is useless to show them. It would be great to be able to configure a requirement for the size of the pictures to be shown.
    Thanks

  4. Google Photos

    I found a way to display Google Photos, however, there is a problem.
    According to your Knowledge Base Google Photos does not have an API for 3rd parties. You do support downloads from Google Drive and one of the folders in Google Drive is Google Photos, which not surprisingly contains all your Google Photos. In my PixStar account I connected to Google Drive and the Google Photos folder and syncing to my Frame started. Everything seemed OK until I noticed that pictures in Portrait mode were being displayed in Landscape mode instead. I downloaded one of the pictures that was…

  5. Features in Detail

    I want to know fastest transition time before I buy. Can't find the information anywhere. Not even in the manual, which I opened to check. Please add many more "details" on the web-site - maybe have a click button for "More Details" below the "popular" ones that are there.

  6. I think you should respond to customer's email...I have sent an email to you requesting new password. You do not respond

    You should respond to customer's email. I have sent several requesting new password as I cannot get into Wifi and therefore cannot receive pictures. Your service is terrible!!!

  7. Allow user to create their own "Event Type."

    It would be really nice if users were allowed to create their own Event Types as often the Alarm, Important isn't quite what you need.

    Also, please correct the spelling of the word medicine.

    Thank you!

  8. I would like to be able to show the complete name of the picture, without the "Picture taken: xx/xx/xx".

    I would like to be able to show the complete name of the picture, without the "Picture taken: xx/xx/xx". Or increase the display field (from 47) to fill the entire box....or allow 2 lines for display.

  9. It would be nice to be able to turn off weather and calendar widgets and just allow the display of pictures

    In the frame configuration panel give the user the ability to turn off features from displaying like weather and calendar date. This would allow the user to just experience the pictures.

  10. Allow display of specific picture via web interface

    Sometimes while talking to my grandma I want to bring up a specific picture for her. Would be nice if that were possible via the web app. Specifically, bring up a specific picture for a certain amount of time.

  11. 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…

  12. 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.

  14. 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.

  16. Allow the rearranging of albums by priority

    I'd like to be able to have albums displayed in order of priority such as:

    1) pictures of my newborn daughter displayed first
    2) wedding pictures displayed second
    3) pictures of my cat displayed third

    There shouldn't be any 'technical limitations' with this. Other frames do this easily.

  17. Border around pics

    Have an option to place a wider border around each pic and to customize the border color (white, black, etc). This would enhance the look of a picture frame collage.

  19. Play not only photos, but also videos from Dropbox folder?

    Play also the videos that are located in a dropbox folder, not only the photos. This is specially useful for people that might have access to dropbox folder easily available. It is hard for people to use the app, which is often not intuitive.

  20. Portrait mode is useless if the Menu, alarms & reminders are only displayed in landscape view.

    Portrait mode is preferred on our device but any alarms & reminders only display in landscape mode. This makes the additional features useless or forces you to use the device in landscape mode & vastly shrink most pictures which are taken in portrait mode.
