Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nixplay Original 12 Inch WiFi Cloud Digital Photo Frame. iPhone & Android App, Email, Facebook, Dropbox, Instagram, Flickr, Picasa (W12A) (Camera)
First the basic frame functionality is very solid; color controls are the best I've seen, and this is like the 8 or 9th frame I've purchase over the past 5 years or so (before that I made my own). Two features need updating, but they are suppose to be on the way. These being a truly "random" display function, the second being able better taylor the minimum display time (currently 30s). But give this frame is connected to the cloud future updates can be done without user intervention (yea)!
The cloud interface is very easy to use, you get 20GB online with the frame, if you store re-sized (optimized) pictures this probably holds 10K pictures. The management of what you load to the cloud and what you expose to any of your frames (5 free; don't understand why they would limit this) is easy to understand and use; You upload into albums and manage what's on frames with slide shows (up to 500 images per slideshow; not an issue as you can have many, many slideshows defined. The eMail interface works reasonably well once you define each email account that is allowed send pictures to the frame, this has to be done one at a time, but once and done generally speaking. Interfaces to other social media functions is evolving, FB, IG, DB, Picasa all exist today (and work), if they keep adding services (Flickr , smugmug, SNAPfish, shutterfly, photoBucket, SlickPic... and other cloud storage options, iPhoto, SkyDrive.....) as they move forward this is truly the product to have (open to multiple services vs a closed, walled off eco-system), as nothing else, yet, compares. Their "futures" forum says lots of thing are coming...if so this is the best of the best. Especially if they define a API for other apps to interface directly with them. I'd love to take pic with my iPhone and send to the frame/slideshow directly; today it's get's their via another service without full control; hopefully that again will be added, but it's just software, you have the frame that will work with it!

Hi there, thanks this this very insightful Review. Just so you know, we do actually have an iPhone app that you can download in the Apple Store. Just go there, type in 'nixplay' and you'll find it. We're trying to cover all aspects here, so that you can continue to love using this frame.

unless i am missing something, the iPhone app only lets you send pictures to other nixplay email addresses and not to your own frame. that is frustrating.
