  • So buggy

    This app is so buggy. I’ve been booted off a help chat twice and unable to solve a problem uploading photos. Unimpressed by yet another extension of Facebook.
  • Photo Upload Error?

    I’m not sure what’s happening, but anytime I select photos from my camera roll to display on portal, only one or two ever shows up. I select 30, it says they uploaded, and then 28 or 29 will disappear. 🤔

    My mom is currently living in an assisted living facility during the COVID-19 pandemic. She has very limited visitation opportunities. She has dementia and cannot operate a smart phone or tablet as the touch screens are confusing to her. With the portal device we can initiate video calls without her having touch the device. She just has to be cued to say “hey portal call.....”. It has been a blessing to her and has improved our awareness of her needs remotely. We just set it up facing her recliner. Great product.
  • No remote functionality?

    There doesn’t appear to be any remote function (need to be able to mute while not sitting next to the device).

    Since I haven’t seen this part of the family for so long, this is the next best thing.
  • A life saver

    The Portal has been a life saver as my family has been able to stay safely in contact with my Mom during the pandemic. We use it nearly every day and do a group chat once a week. And it’s been so easy to use. Keep adding features! I’d love a way to remotely see my mom’s app choices so I can help her set up the apps like Netflix and Zoom. Right now, I can’t help her remotely.

    Received Portal for Christmas 2019. Big changes in 2020. New and first grand daughter and son deployed to Japan. Portal allows us to nightly watch our grand daughter grow and stay in touch. Our son “visits” with us twice a week. Portal has a crystal clear picture and great sound. No delay in transmission of communication. PLUS we can add our photos as a slide show that we enjoy through the day. Wonderful tool. Love it. Harvey of Iowa.

    The PortalTV doesn’t require a facebook account to use the product. Why do I need a facebook account to use the App with my PortalTV? Surely you should add the functionality to login to the app via WhatsApp? I want to use the app on my PortalTV but my PortalTV isn’t linked to Facebook account.
  • Sharing to Portal doesn’t work

    You can only update 30 photos at a time. Uploading directly from my iPhone Photo app or Google Photos app and sharing it to the portal app never works. It freezes when it’s uploading photos once I choose an album... even if it’s just one photo I’m trying to upload. (I’ve tried on multiple devices) The reason I’m trying to upload directly from my iPhone Photos app or Google Photos is because the Portal app takes forever to scroll through my photos even if I’m only going back a few months. If they can get this function fixed I will update my rating to a 4 or 5. Otherwise it’s way to tedious to upload photos.
