Best digital photo frame - easily adding pics via iPad?

November 17, 2013 4:32 PM

Any photo frames out there easily allow adding of photos via an iPad?

I purchased a photo frame for my mom a few years ago, it's been on THE ENTIRE TIME! So, I want to get new a larger one now. But, more than anything , I want one that she can add and manage the photos by herself. She only has an iPhone and iPad. Her tech skills are on the low end. She has a ton of photos on her iPad, but uses it too much and really wants a desicTed photo frame.

What are our options here? Right now, she gets new pictures once a year at Christmas (at best). We're hoping for a easy solution that would allow her to put what she wants on there. She can pull photos from Facebook, smugmug and Google+ now on her own.

Something like this wireless frame could work. The review says that you can choose to use Facebook photos (though you can't choose which ones, so you might have to be clever about your Facebook photos), so you could most likely do that via an iPad.

I don't know much about digital photo frames, but I'm guessing they still have ones where you can email photos to directly to the frame through a special email address (that whitelists the sender). So maybe get one of those, add the email address to her address book, and let her just attach and send the photos.

Your question is definitely different, but I wondered if you saw this previous related question. Several of the responses there seem like they would be suitable for your purposes.
