Pix-Star Photos for Android
There used to be an issue with caching, but it works as expected now.
App could use an update. Doesn't always load most recent camera photos
I reported a problem with picture update after I purchased my new mobile phone. The customer service team contacted me very quickly and helped me to solve it. I wish all apps developers to have the same reactivity.....
On a nexus 5x running Android 7, the picture selector shows 2 folders /sdcard and /storage/emulated/0 for each actual folder on the device. It was like this with Android 6 as well. Only the /storage/emulated/0 folder shows the latest pictures taken by the camera. The/sdcard mirror is stuck in the past. The picture browser shows extremely pixelated images so you need to use the Android photos app to look at the picture first to decide which one to send.
I bought 2 of these for my mother and grandmother who live far away. I can send photos of their grandchildren straight to their photo frames without them having to do anything. It's much more convenient than printing and mailing pics. I had issues at first with the app seeing the photos on my sd card. But the developer was awesome at contacting me, figuring out the problem, and sending me a patch to fix the issue.
Have to Uninstall and reinstall often to get videos to send. So frustrating
The application works, but the photo albums get cached and will not refresh. So any new pics you take after install are not shown.
Won't refresh. Shows the inbox is empty even though the website shows pics are there. Reinstalled but no change.
Available photos do not refresh. It caches your albums when you install the app, but any new photos taken do not show up within the app. This makes the app virtually worthless!

Newest version reads pics from SD card! That was the only inconvenient issue, and now it works perfectly. Nice work, team. Such a wonderful piece.
Videos not showing up for sending to frame. Didn't know my frame could support video clips
I store all my cameras photos on removable media on my phone. I am unable to select any folder on this volume with the app. I can only pick from sources that are from internal storage. Please fix! This app is basically useless for me until this happens.
Now i can manage my multiple frames, send pictures, videos, audio notes with a single click. Really useful, thanks!

I wish there was a way to upload the picutes to my frame right from the app! Would make uploading so much easier
Awesome app for an awesome frame. Great for relatives far away, especially older folks
love it!!!
Crashed
Nice app, as perfect as the pix-star frames !
It works well for photos on your device. Useless for accessing online photos unless you've got a Pix-Star frame.
My HTC only has a back, home and recent apps buttons. so I can't start slideshows.

Picture thumbnails on Note 5 are terribly fuzzy (same pix are clear in gallery app). Why does it have access permissions to my text messages?! Account has no password authentication required to upload pictures if frame setting is changed not to require upload permissions. Major security failure as it should still require account password to access upload dialog for account! Once that setting is turned off on frame I only needed to give username on app to upload pictures.
