ViewClix Hack 2.9 + Redeem Codes

- There is a maximum limit of 4 photos that can be uploaded at one time. This is quite limiting, especially for initial setup as most people have their photos stored on their phones. Our PixStar frame has an upload limit of 30.
- I do not believe you can preview a photo prior to selecting it. For instance, if you took 5 of the “same” photo in case people blinked, there isn’t a way in the app to zoom in and select the best one. PixStar allows for individual photos to be expanded fully for preview via the 3D Touch functionality.
- Photos you intend to upload must be fully downloaded to your iPhone camera roll. If you’re using the “optimize storage” iPhone functionality, this app will give you an error and not upload the photos. This is a MAJOR problem.

In all, I’m satisfied with the frame because it allowed me to accomplish my goal of being able to video chat with my parents. However, the app needs work and the frame itself seems to be a bit clumsy. I am hopeful that these suggestions find their way to the dev team and that a new version is released!

We loved the ViewClix when it worked … but after 4 months, mom’s Xfinity modem was updated to dual track 2.4 and 5 GHz. I live 6.5 hours away, mom is no longer able to do anything tech - she has no computer or smartphone and has no one to help her with this.

Customer service has been great, but we just cannot get this to work, especially with my limited visits. And yes, I also tried to redirect the xfinity password, making it specific for the 2.4 GHz track. We are so disappointed.

Bottom-line, ViewClix needs to address this issue themselves and not expect their clients to fix it. And now, I definitely recommend not buying ViewClix until the problem is fixed, if you are a Comcast Xfinity customer with one of their modems.

I love being able to talk with my grandparents and see their faces-the app has been the best for that! But it is difficult to share photos between our conversations. When I select the next photos to upload, the window is blank but says I have multiple to choose from. I can still select images somehow because the red check marks pop up. It’s almost a game to select the last four I want to upload, the ones furthest down in the blank window, but even then it doesn’t work well. I’m able to preview the photos in the caption edit page and upload still and try make sure I didn’t accidentally select an old photo That I don’t want to share again. Could really use help with this!

Mom used to be a whiz on her computer and iPad. As she aged, even clicking “Accept” on a FaceTime call became too much.

Of all the apps I researched, ViewClix was the only one I thought would be simple enough. It’s been great. I set the option for it to allow incoming calls without her having to find the remote to accept. For her, it’s like someone rings her doorbell and she just grabs her walker and heads over to the frame.

As the Coronavirus lockdown at her assisted living facility has meant no one can visit in person, and the residents are confined to their apartments, the only way we can “see” her is via the ViewClix. What a blessing to have that!

We have had no problems upload many pics to the ViewClix. We are able to keep in touch with video calls which was even more helpful during Covid. The memory care place has been very helpful with fixing things (see below) so that we can have a good visit.

The only issues have been user issues. Those with Alzheimer’s tend to derail all the things. She unplugs it or unplugs the mic and puts it elsewhere. Loses the remote.

An amazing products and so thankful we found it!

We bought the ViewClix for mom and she has completely enjoyed it. Especially loves that the grand kids can post pictures. Basically we have not had any big problems. When we first purchased it, we had to add 2 external speakers as the one on the back of the monitor were very poor. I call and talk to her every couple of days which she enjoys more than a phone call. For the family it is wor every penny.

My mom had a stroke and had limited visual ability. She was unable to use her phone for Facebook, texts, calls, etc. Her stroke just happened to be around Covid and with her medical conditions, could not have visitors. This was a lifesaver to keep her connected to her family-kids, grandkids, great grandkids- all able to post pictures and call on a screen big enough for her to see. Highly recommend…

Here is the best product to allow photo sharing and make video calls with a grandparent. It is the easiest way to connect with a non-tech savvy elder. It allows linked family members to call and view the room the frame is located, without any input from the grand parent, using the app from ViewClix.

It is so good, we are getting our own frame for the rest of the family to call us.

Once we downloaded app, set up wireless password, and logged in the user phone app, it was up and running.

Video chats are clear and sound is excellent. Photos are clear, and uploads only take a few seconds.

One hint - upload one photo at a time and add captions.

I never seen my grandmother so happy! She literally pulled out her phone book to tell me the people she wants added to contact her. It’s super easy to navigate and just make sure you have a strong WiFi signal

My mom wants to be part of our lives, but could never deal with the challenges of technology. This bridges the gap. Now she is with us in all that we do. And I can check up on her and see her, so she can show me her life. An answer to prayer!
