BusyBox Sign

Ever since the last big update, the app doesn’t work right. It won’t connect to my sign have the time. I have to constantly close and reload the app to get it to even load my signs. Not sure what happened but I’m starting to regret buying this sign.

Having problems with the latest update for two reasons. All GIF images loaded from the app no longer animate once uploaded onto the unit. Animated images selected from the preset gallery of the new app work, but images uploaded from your phone via the app no longer animate. The other issue was with the Wi-Fi connection dialogue which mandates using a password, even for unsecured access points so I am no longer able to have the sign login into Wi-Fi.

I have 3 kids under 15 and two of which are home schooled. I also work from home in a dedicated office. Having this has been fantastic so that I can let them know I’m on a meeting, trying to focus, or even taking a nap because of an all nighter. I have two Digitals, one for my office door and one for my family room. This app has come a long way and now even has some animated templates so I don’t have to go to a website and download them manually. Love the updates and love even more the frequency that they are trying to improve the functionality. Latest app update has been great!

Love my Busy Box for my home office! Just got my son one for his home music production studio. He loves customizing the sign—no more mom interruptions when he’s recording music.

I was so excited to buy this product online based on the marketing of Slack, Zoom, Google Calendar, Siri, etc. integrations. The site implies this is current functionality so I bought it and downloaded this app. Looks like they do not have this functionality. Currently you can control it via the app manually but there is no automation.

This app, and the BusyBox Standard, work well! The ability to have multiple devices connect is helpful, too. The BusyBox just works and the ability to have others visually see is important. Especially with small AirPods and other ways we communicate where it isn’t as obvious we’re busy, this helps.
