The app lets you crop and rotate images for the best view. You can also manually upload the photos or videos you want the frame to display. It syncs with your device gallery and connects via its own server so there’s no storage limit on the number of photos the frame can display. We found Aura’s proprietary mobile app easy and efficient. Like the other Aura frames we looked at, the Mason Luxe relies on a mobile app for most of the uploading and image tracking chores. While you can choose either random or chronological presentation, you cannot otherwise specify photo or video order. If you own more than one Aura frame, the app lets you share photos and videos between all of them so you can pick and choose who gets which pictures and save time by not having to re-upload multiple shots. If you rotate the frame, images will rotate with it automatically. You can set the overall speed, rotation, and crop. The app’s setup panel gives you some flexibility in photo presentation. However, you can also schedule on-off times, which gives users more scheduling and energy saving options. A dark room doesn’t mean it’s not occupied. I would much prefer a motion detector, as found in our favorite Pix-Star frame, because that governs frame operation when there’s actually someone to view it. Screen brightness adjusts automatically based on ambient light, but at night when the lights are off, the frame automatically goes into sleep mode. The frame accepts only cloud input - no SD cards or thumb drives, and no internal storage.įriends and family can add photos to your frame (with permission) via email, their own app, or the website. You can also like a photo from the slider. The side touch bar, when swiped, reveals minimal metadata like location, date and time shot, and photographer. A long press lets you close the menu, remove an image, or turn the frame off.

Whether or not the phone is connected to power (= some devices slow down any upload activity to protect the battery).The number of apps running on the device at the same time (in ‘competition’).Whether the Aura app is open or running in the background.
Number and size of uploaded content (videos are 5-10x bigger and take longer).Photo location (Google Photos offers the fastest uploads, iCloud is the slowest *).Generally, there is no “average” upload speed since it depends on many variables: Until that point, the photo(s) will not show up on the frame or on another frame member’s Aura app and you may see the “this photo has not yet been uploaded” message. Important: Although the uploader will immediately see the selected photos and videos in their Aura app, it can take hours or days (depending on many variables) until they actually reach our cloud server. Once a user has marked them for upload, they are sent to our secure cloud server and from there to the frame and any other invited frame members’ Aura app. The basic process starts with our Aura App getting access to the photo/video location, so it can make them visible - and selectable - in the app. The item storage location (Smart Device vs iCloud vs Google Photos).However, although the video and photo upload process appears simplistic, it is actually based on a very complex chain of events, involving a variety of different tools that need to communicate with each other to get your content to the frame: Since Aura wants to create wonderful experiences, we carefully designed the upload experience to make it as straightforward as possible. Using the Aura app, you can easily - and remotely - upload videos, photos, and entire albums to your frame(s).
