We ordered ViewClix when the pandemic locked up my 89-year-old mother so we could keep in close video contact with her. She is not savvy to the digital world, but this thing requires no skills to be learned and she gets constantly updated photos of her great-grandchildren. We tried a competing device and returned it because it required too much effort to configure. It is truly a great device.
My Mother LOVES her Viewclix frame; especially since COVID had prevented family coming in from out of state, for visits. It is so user friendly and I have no issues accessing the slideshow or making changes. We all especially love being able to have video calls, as Mom doesn't use a cell phone or computer; this provides great sound and video quality.
Our family is grateful to have an easy-to-use video conference product such as Viewclix. Our family is internationally located in Europe, Asia and North America, and Viewclix provided a great way to connect to my 91 year old grandmother in Toronto.
ViewClix was a lifesaver for my dad during Covid lock down in his Assisted Living. We could could video chat with his having to touch any buttons. From our AP we connected and we would show up on his 15” monitor screen to talk or show him around our homes. He loved my goats and chickens When not chatting, all our photos would play on a slide show. We labelled them so he knew who/what they were. We added Bible verses as well. ViewClix was his window to the world outside his walls. And it was a way we 4 daughters from 4 states could check on our dad as ViewClix gave a view of his room.
After he passed on to Heaven, ViewClix allowed a transfer of ownership so another could use it. I highly recommend ViewClix to everyone.
My mother is too technically challenged to facetime or zoom on a phone and the ViewClix screen was the only solution we found that worked for her. It has helped her stay connected with family and avoid the isolation brought about by Covid. It truly has helped her keep her sanity. I can't say enough positive things about the screen and the company behind it.
In November of 2020 we lost my oldest uncle to Covid. Struggling to find a way to connect with my 87 year old aunt who was grieving and living alone I stumbled across ViewClix. My aunt, living 3,000 miles away is not very tech savvy so we needed a solution that was easy for her to use. ViewClix is perfect. We talk every week and I can’t tell you how helpful it is to actually “see” the person you are speaking with to ascertain how they really are doing. She also loves the photo feature to keep up with family all over the U.S.
We purchased this for our father. It is great. Not only is it extremely easy for him but it was easy for us to set up and maintain. He is unable to operate any technical devices and ViewClix doesn’t ask anything of him. We set it all up and he is able to view pictures and talk to us without any assistance. I highly recommend this for any elderly person that does know anything about operating a technical device or anyone in a nursing home of assisted living facility.
With loved ones out of state as well as sequestering due to the pandemic, our family has truly appreciated having the ViewClix technology available to be in touch with my mom. With dementia, she is unable to figure out technology and with ViewClix all she has to do is sit in her favorite chair to be in contact with family and friends!
This is one of the best products I've come across that helps communication with the elderly. The picture frame concept, enabling people to upload photos to a particular frame, is fairly common these days. But the video chat aspect is ingenious! My mother-in-law doesn't have to DO anything to receive a video chat call. She just hears the CHIME alerting her to a call, she walks to the frame, and she starts talking. When the visit is over, the person who called hangs up on their end, and she doesn't have to do anything.
My MIL even loves to just sit and look at the photos. She never knows when a new one of her grandchildren or great grandchildren will show up in her pictures! And they do often.
I don't often rave about a product, but this one deserves it. Set up is not difficult. The price is right. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants a better connection with an elderly loved one.
The call quality, screen size and easy picture sharing make this device a great choice for staying in touch with seniors who have limited capabilities with technology or with limited bandwidth- the unit is very forgiving and very adaptable. Good purchase.
