Great idea, but...
I was looking for a simple silent indicator light for calls and text for work and playing games with a headset but unfortunately for me it was unreliable. I was able to pair with the device and enter the app however I have a few key issues. Firstly I tried to remove all the notifications for thirdparty apps. When I tried to remove them all at one time it sent the app into perpetual updating. When I closed it all out and tried one at a time I was able to remove all of them except for the last one (regardless of what order I removed them) before it went back to never ending syncing.I also created a custom icon which saved, but never update the thumbnail. It showed the original thumbnail with my custom image but yet the original is what displayed when used. Lastly, and most importantly the notification was unreliable, even at extremely close distance. Texts would work correctly, then would only show the 5 second flash but then not leave on the lasting indicator, or it wouldn't show to 5 second flashing and just show the lasting indicator, or the lasting indicator would stay on after I had read the messages. I had to return this and go with a similar product that was slightly more expensive but had a speaker as well.

Fun toy with phone notifications!
This concept is a pretty cool one. I usually leave my phone on silent at work and people get annoyed when I don't realize they called or texted. So when I saw this, I thought I'd be able to resolve that with this. Honestly though, I work in IT and I just thought it would be fun to play with and no one else had one haha. There are a lot of options you can pick from or create yourself. Even animation!! (You had me with that Pikachu)Basically it's a light pixel box that lets you know of several different notifications on your phone. They added some fun features like a dice game, clock and battery status. You can apparently stack up to four together, but maybe more, for a bigger play area. Is this a necessity, no, but it is definitely pretty cool.The only part I didn't like, was that they limit you on how many additional notification types you can add on top of the set standard. I'm sure this is due to memory allocation, but I would have liked a few more as I don't really have a million on my phone.

Its not that great
I got my today. I really like it has a retro clock. But that is all its good for. I am giving this a product 2 stars because the Gmail notification keeps popping up for no reason. I don't get any email on my phone but thing keeps saying I do. I have an iphone.

One Star
Never consistently worked from the start. I tried resetting it several times. In general it would work correctly for a while then do odd things. Change the display, go completely black, not respond to the touch or motion sensor.

Cute but overpriced for what it does.
This is a neat little toy that I use to compliment my desk when recording Youtube reviews. You pair it with the Dotti App on either IOS or Android and through it you have the option to run it with a stationary pixel image or a moving GIF of sorts. It is a neat accessory if you can get it around $20. If you have to pay more for it than I can't say I agree that it is worth that value. The notification aspect of this is pretty useless as it literally just flashes the icon of a limited selection of available apps that are compatible like Facebook and Twitter. It doesn't have the capabilities to display the actual notification so don't expect that functionality. Battery life on this is pretty good however as it will stay on for longer than your average smartphone before needing to be charged through a micro usb port. So ultimately if you are looking at this, you obviously have a certain idea what you would use this for. If you are a desk warrior who loves having unique items for a clean setup, than this might not be the worst thing. However for general consumers hoping this will be an ultimate desk top notification system, I would steer away.

Great idea ruined by spotty Bluetooth/bad software.
An awesome idea that just doesn't work as intended. I've tried this product with a Droid turbo, iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6S and none of these devies could solve the deal breaking issue with this item. It won't auto reconnect. Once you leave the range of your Bluetooth connection an entire re setup process is needed to get notifications running. For me this was a deal breaker. I really wanted this thing to work. Beware
