ViewClix reviews from families and caregivers.

My mother loves her Viewclix! She feels more connected to family because she can see pictures of the great grandchildren even though they can't visit in person. Thanks to Viewclix for a product that works for someone that is not technologically savvy!

My mother is 93 and is home bound. ViewClix has been essential in keeping in touch with her and monitoring her wellbeing. I can't begin to tell you how gratifying it is to be able to stay in touch with her.

I live in Canada and my elderly parents are in the States. I found View Clix in the Fall of 2020. I was able to see my parent's faces for the first time in a year! We were able to visit all the time through Covid, and my parent's didn't have to worry about any technical buttons and so forth. I loved being able to set the hours that the frame is on to discourage too early or too late calls by family and friends.
It's a great frame, and I love the ease of uploading photos through the browser.
I have trouble with hearing through the mic, and they had trouble hearing me, but that could be because my dad's tv is at times too loud.
Also, I wish there was a way to cast the photos on a TV or large monitor. We would have loved to use the photos for my mother's Zoom funeral for a slide show.

Mom/Grandma is 93 and in assisted living. She has no technical abilities whatsoever. We set up her ViewClix screen on her bedroom dresser where she can look at it before bed and when she gets up. Multiple children and grandchildren post notes and pictures to it. The captions keep her reminded of who's who-and how much bigger they've gotten. It is the best way to keep a tech-challenged elder connected in a way that is also convenient for how younger people routinely share their lives. We've even started doing some brief video chats with her, though she still prefers just reflecting on the changing pictures we post to keep her up to date. Curating the selections for her could not be simpler, and it keeps some connection going with family contributors that might not otherwise be as aware of each other's changes and activities. We found ViewClix when trying to imagine what kind of technology would allow us to keep better connections going across generations with very wide ranges of technical ability. We're very thankful that the best possible solution was readily available in ViewClix.
Sincerely,
Kevin Higgins

The viewclix device was a lifesaver for my parents during the pandemic. Our entire family was able to talk and see them during the pandemic. I think that the ability for them to se their grandchildren and great-grandchildren was something that helped keep them going. The device works flawlessly and is simple to use. I highly recommend it.

My mother is in assisted living. She has dementia. This video phone is perfect. It does not allow her to call out, which is a great feature for people with Dementia and Alzheimer's. All family members that I designate can also call into her, and see her. It's very easy to set up and use, and we have had not issue with it. We can leave personalized messages on the screen or multiple photos. It's perfect for my mom's condition. She really enjoys seeing her family through this device.

During COVID isolation, it was particularly difficult to visit my parents in assisted living. Early on, even "compassionate" visits were not possible, and mom's arthritis made it difficult to hold the phone. However after very simple set-up we were able to "drop in" on mom and dad, even if they had misplaced their phone.

Plus with social media ever-increasing in difficulty to navigate, we can post our favorite pics to their frame nearly instantly - in fact when they weren't able to attend a wedding, we had pictures uploaded to the viewclix frame in their livingroom before we got to the reception.

The gift of being able to visit, even as mom's health was failing really improved the quality of life and perhaps gave us a bit more time with her before she passed away.

I truly believe everyone with aging parents should put one of these frames in their parent's home if at all possible.

The ViewClix was a great solution to keeping in touch with my Grandmother in assisted living. Before getting the ViewClix we tried an Amazon Echo Show, but found it had too many features and privacy concerns for our needs. The ViewClix had just the right feature set for "dropping in" and sharing pictures which was all that we needed. Would give 5 stars, but we had some audio issues with the speakers that we couldn't solve even when connecting external powered speakers to the frame. Despite the audio glitches, this is a great solution - definitely recommend to anyone looking to keep in touch and check in on an elderly loved one and am thankful for this product. Everything else that we looked at was too complicated. The ViewClix is just right.

We got my mother into assisted living 2 weeks before the lockdown in 2020. She has always been pretty tech savvy, but with her dementia, it was getting tougher for her to figure things out. We heard about this from another child whos parent was struggling. We love it! And more importantly, my mom loves it! There was a long period of time where we couldn't get into her place, so the only way for her to "see" us was with the frame. She doesn't have to pick it up or hang up. We created an account for each of her kids and grandkids so everyone can upload pictures directly to her frame. I just need to go in once in a while and archive pictures. Just be sure to put the frame across the room from any electronic device (like the router!)

Buying the ViewClix frame fro my mother was a lifesaver. She has been in and assisted living facility and no longer has the ability to work a remote or successfully navigate phonecalls. The family has been able to be in touch with her through the frame and keeps her updated and connected by posting the ever-growing family, with photos of all her children, grandchildren, and two new great-grandchildren. My only negative is that the associated app is barely functional. We connect much easier through the web interface; it's also much easier to upload photos through the web rather than the app.
