iDotMatrix

It works amazing and brings a pop to my room

The app is nice- but if you are trying to design your own animations or pics- you really need the ability to select a color based on existing colors in the image. I think this could either be done with a color dropper to select the color you want, and/or have a much larger custom palette. (I think we are limited to 7 right now). Another great option would be to have a more full featured desktop version with more editing tools.

I’m a TikToker and I would love to be able to have the feature of seeing a live follower count on my screen. until then I’m giving a review of 4 stars.

This is really cool I like having on while gaming, the Minecraft stuff is cool too but you can’t put grey or black (even tho you can’t see it), the worse thing I hate is that for the music thing I was excited but you only have limited songs☹️are they are the most random ones, 🫤 would be five if they had more color and songs, over all good 👍.

Starting with the positives: The pixel matrix device that this app works with is well-built and looks fantastic. It has a nice case and bright screen with a grid between the LEDs and the outer part of the screen’s surface that makes each LED look like a square pixel. On the hardware level, I have no complaints, but instead, I am impressed with the quality. What’s a shame, though, is the problematic user interface, the fact that the images/gifs (after you take forever programming them into a playlist) only show on the screen for a few seconds (and so you hardly get to see them at all!), the limited, energy consuming, and unattractive clock options, and a buzzer that either plays for every new image you program to show or none of them (no time of day based settings options). The whole reason I got this screen is so I could have a rotating collection of images and gifs to play at specific windows of times in the day - to remind me that it’s time to do things I sometimes get too busy to remember (take my meds/vitamins, drink water, exercise, etc.) I also thought it would be cool to have it show gifs at certain times of the day (that I don't forget), like a burger and fries for lunch, etc. I assumed I could use this app to program the screen to have the screen rotate between the built-in clock and these images in blocks of time, but the photos only show for 5 seconds, tops, at the start of each event, and they go away! For real, if you blink or have your head turned oh well, all you see is the ugly clock you always see. Who stares at their matrix waiting for the exact 5 seconds that an event starts so they can see the cute pic or gif they programmed to remind them of a task? The logic is all wrong in this app. The user should be going about their day and then notice that the screen is repeatedly showing that cute reminder image and the persistance of that image should remind the user of the task they need to do, lol. Because of these things and because the clock options are all pretty ugly, let's be honest, except for the Christmas one (which is super cute... but no one wants to use it all year round), I got bored and disappointed in my purchase of this app and clock, very fast. Also, because there is no escaping the ugly clocks - the system plays the clock 24/7 whether you want it to or not (which, by the way, are so overly colorful that they burn a lot of power, even in low power mode ), this clock sits on my shelf unplugged until I can find

The smallest font is 16 pixels, you can’t even fit one word on the screen, why not allow 4 and 8 pixel font, so you can actually type full words. Also maybe have option to make noise at end of timer.

This app is cool but when you’re making your own design you can’t use the colors black, brown, and gray. That’s really annoying if you want to make your pet’s face. The app would be better if you could copy and paste while making animated pictures. That would make it easier.

(Edit: 8-3-2024) multiple updates since my first review and the issues I have list below with the power and brightness setting not being implemented correctly have not been addressed. I am reducing my rating to 2 stars until this basic functionality is fixed. (Original review) I own both the 32x32 and The 1+3 iDotMatrix displays. The 32x32 pixel panel will not turn completely off using the energy saving mode in the apps settings menu. When setting the display to 0% it will instead dim to about 10% brightness. This is not an issue for the 1+3 version which turns completely off when programed with the same schedule using that same app setting. The only workaround is to manually hit the off button once you’ve opened the app and connect to the device. While the app is not perfect its other features seem to work very well. However this bug is keeping me from giving it anything higher then three stars. Hopefully the devs see this review if they are not aware of the issue and fix this bug soon.

Please add a search filter. Scrolling through all the content each time is tedious and bad in 2024. Also there is no live data whatsoever only on clock mode. That is very disappointing and the it was advertise showing live stock ticker data, etc. That is misleading. Overall product works very well and app interface/content on app is good. Just pay more for a Divoom one and avoid this for now

I was loving my Pixel frame for the first few days and the new update deleted all my data.
