Just the thing for an older relative (who has Wi-Fi)
I bought this frame as an early Father's Day gift for my dad, who is going to be 81 this year. He loves having photos of his kids and grandkids all around him. He tapes them up all over his kitchen with scotch tape, and the walls and cabinets are full. In less than 20 minutes, we had the frame set up and connected and he was emailing himself his favorite photos off his iPhone6. He loved seeing his favorites on the big screen of this Pix-Star 15-inch frame. When he realized he could type "captions" by describing the photo in the subject line of each email, he was thrilled. Next, I texted all my siblings and a few grandkids who have phones, and they started sending him photos right away. He loved it. We spent some time changing the transitions and intervals, and he learned how to look at older photos that we put on an SD card. He's a little shaky on that part (changing the slideshow from his email "inbox" to the SD card), but he'll get it. The only suggestion I would have is to put words on the buttons of the remote control, in addition to symbols. He's not very good at figuring out what each symbol means, but again, he'll pick it up. I so often give him gifts that just don't quite work out (too techie for him or not quite what he would want). But this frame was PERFECT. I would simply recommend that the gift be given in person if it is for an older relative, so the set-up can be done for them.
