Aura Carver Digital Photo Frame

The Aura Carver is the digital frame we recommend most often for grandparents because it removes the fiddly part. There is no SD card, no USB stick and no monthly fee: you set it up once, then the whole family sends photos straight from the Aura app on their phones, and they appear on the frame within seconds. The 10.1-inch HD display (1280 x 800) sits in a widescreen landscape orientation that suits family group shots, and free unlimited cloud storage means you will never run out of room. For grandparents who struggle with technology, the appeal is that the device essentially runs itself once a grandchild or adult child has done the initial setup. It is a mains-powered frame, so it needs to sit near a socket rather than move around the house.
