DIGITAL PHOTO FRAME
A**R
Cheap quality and overpriced
Everything about this product screams "cheap", from shoddy construction to lousy translation to buggy software and broken hardware. The screen was not mounted properly (or at all), so it slides around within the frame. The software is extremely buggy and the device had to, on numerous occasions, be unplugged entirely (and then plugged back in, of course) in order to get it to turn on. Some perfectly formatted images are simply skipped, with no indication or explanation. The device also regularly fails to read a picture (that has worked previously) and then, rather than skipping the image, displays a malformed image; this "feature" is intermittent, so it happens with the same photo on one pass and not on the next. The manual is comically bad, with terrible translations and errors, including two separate and conflicting descriptions of the remote control. The motion sensor that is supposed to be included (translated as "Human induction") does not work at all. Speaking of the remote control, it fails to meet the quality standards of a Happy Meal toy.There are a few things to know about this device that are not obvious from the description. Not only does the overall product feel very cheaply made, the "brand names" that appear (only on the remote control, "Sinoideas", and software bootup, "Boelles"?) do not match the description (though the photo is the same), so "OLDTIME is a famous brand of Digital Photo Frames" is completely misleading. Also, unlike many (most?) other photo frames, this one does not have internal storage for photos and, thus, does not work without a USB stick. Additionally, it is not battery-powered, and only works in landscape orientation, which greatly limits its usefulness.Frankly, for the price, I would have been better off just buying an inexpensive Android tablet which could do all of the above and more. This product is what we call CCS: Cheap C------ S---.
