MemoryViews came to be when our founder, Darroll’s, mom was living in an assisted living facility in Wisconsin. Since her children and grandchildren lived in Texas, California and Oregon, she was no longer able to visit and be a physical part of their lives. As her world began to close in and get smaller, Darroll began looking for ways to keep her connected. Through MemoryViews, he created a way to upload family photos to a monitor in her room allowing her to stay connected with her family. Darroll’s mom now feels like she is a part of what her family is doing again.
After seeing the blessings this has provided for his family he wanted to help bless your family, too. Darroll’s mom is content in her community because she now feels more connected to her family. When photos are sent to her room, she participates in the life events her family experiences. You can imagine the potential heartache when she was not able to attend her grandson’s wedding, but through MemoryViews, she was able to see photos from the wedding, in real time, from the comfort of her own room. She was thrilled!
Each of our team members has used a MemoryViews product in their family and several have loved ones with dementia. For us, this is a personal business and we are passionate about helping your family stay connected!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MemoryViews?
-
MemoryViews is a company that wants people to experience life better connected to one another. During seasons of distance, MemoryViews allows you to stay connected to family, friends and a lifetime of memories through our app and software.
How does this all work?
-
Our app allows you to organize your photos into themes (digital photo albums). These themes can then be displayed and viewed on a Roku enabled TV or device. You can even collaborate with family to create shared themes. What makes our product unique is that you have the ability to schedule these photo albums to play at specific times of the day or week.
-
You simply add photos from your phone into the photo albums you have created through our app, schedule when you want them to run, and that’s it! Your photos can be viewed within a minute of taking the photo.
How much is the app?
-
The app is free for you and your family. After downloading the app from the App Store or Google Play Store, you will create an account. You will use this account to begin creating your digital photo albums. Your account credentials can be shared by the owner at his/her discretion, with family members to collaborate on creating albums and/or adding photos to current albums.
-
Residential clients can choose from two monthly subscriptions: Basic $29.95 or Premium $54.95 per month with no contract. Satisfaction Guaranteed.

How does my family participate?
-
They will need to also download the free MemoryViews app in the App Store or Google Play Store. After you have created your account, you can share your account credentials with them. They will only have access to your MemoryViews photo albums. You will all log into the same account to begin creating photo albums, or adding new photos to an existing album.
Can I have more than one MemoryView displaying content in my home?
-
Yes! You can have one account displaying the same content in several rooms in your home or office. You would just need to purchase additional pre-loaded Roku devices. Likewise, you can have several accounts, each running their own content (monthly subscriptions would apply to each).
What are some different ways I can use MemoryViews to maximize the experience?
-
We would overwhelmingly suggest using your MemoryViews display as a piece of art on your wall that displays art (photos) that changes throughout the day.
-
Using a dedicated MemoryView display as a piece of art on your wall, you can schedule your photo albums to run 24/7 – no need to ever turn it off.
-
You can add our pre-loaded stick to your existing TV. Instead of turning your TV off and just looking at a large black screen, change the input to your MemoryView account and now you get to view the photo albums you created through our app. So much better to look at than a black screen!
-
MemoryViews is a wonderful way to keep Grandpa and Grandma connected to the family. As many lose the ability to continue to use technology and phones, MemoryViews gives you the ability to upload family photos of events, birthdays, etc. to their MemoryViews device allowing them to stay connected to family
What's the best format for uploading photos?
-
Photos displayed in landscape (16:9) format work best, but you can upload photos in any dimension.
