A must for parents who travel a lot for work!

For parents who travel a lot for work, this is a must! No more chasing a kid just to keep them in frame to say hello to mom/dad/grandparents, or constantly switching cameras (this feature in Facetime has gotten clumsier with a new update) to find the right person/the right one to capture the object in the picture right place. right angle. We tried stories yesterday and seeing the big smile on my daughter's face melted my heart. Dad read the story in real time with animation, visual and sound effects. Our daughter loved it! Now I have to take care of limiting their screen time. The only thing that is annoying is that she keeps scrolling through the pictures when they are on display. I don't want her looking at the screen all the time. So I turned off my Facebook photos, but Superframe still didn't turn it off (anyone know if it's possible to turn it off entirely?) - now it displays some landscape photos, which my daughter isn't that interested in flipping through, but she still does, which is rare. I may have to hide the portal when we're not using it.

Pros
  • Chat with friends even if they don't have a portal: just call friends and family in Messenger - calls can be made easily to and from smartphones and tablets. And you can group up to six people together in a group call
Cons
  • Speed
