So far I’ve had this projector for a few months. I’ve found it EXTREMELY useful since we have all sorts of different rooms in my house, and we like to change locations where we chill for the evening. I use it for displaying my workouts (Ring Fit and Yoga) and occasionally gaming, and on a few circumstances as a monitor for my computer. A few things I would recommend: make sure you have the right lighting. During the daytime, I found that reducing sunlight was best when projecting on a darker painted wall. On a lighter painted wall, I was able to see the image just fine with a room that was lit with afternoon light, but not pouring with bright sunlight. White background is ideal. It also depended on the device I used and what the image contained. Animal Crossing: New Horizons, while playing in the daytime mode in the game and in a darker room, was great. Playing anytime during the nighttime mode was a little tougher to see. Some games that required you to read smaller text, like Don’t Starve, weren’t as successful because certain texts became harder to read on the projector. I’ve used all sorts of different devices via the HDMI connection (even PS2, GameCube, and Wii) and had fun briefly displaying them with success, but haven’t done full gaming experiences with them just yet. I found that overall, displaying bigger text is ideal for the projector.The HDMI connection is the best mode of connection, in my opinion. I tried the AirPlay mode once or twice and both times needed to set up the internet and haven’t done it again since then. As a portable battery and its travel size, I also like it a TON. I've used it on different kinds of tripods as well.When I rated this, I wanted to give more of a 4.5 overall because of its usefulness, its travel size, and...well, it's really cool to have a pocket projector that's the size of my iPhone. However, my standards for picture quality are not as high as others. If you buy, just be aware of what to expect. It works best under certain conditions and with certain images. My boyfriend is a photographer and video editor, so his standards for display quality are VERY high (always wanting to see movies in IMAX or 4K, looking at quality of the picture, etc.), so he would personally not use this projector as much as I do. It had its moments of imperfections, which I think generally are meant for an actual television screen, and those imperfections are forgivable for the other nifty things it's capable of. It's definitely useful in situations where you don't want to lug an entire television down the stairs or to different rooms if you want changes of scenery in the house or need to travel to a different location outside of the house and can't plug into a display of the sort wherever you end up. This purchase will definitely depend on your preferences and how much you think you will end up using the pocket projector. For how often I use it, I think I've made it worth its price.

I got this projector specifically for cookie decorating, and honestly—it’s been a total game-changer. The image it projects is crisp and clear, which makes tracing even tiny lettering and delicate designs surprisingly easy. I used to dread those ultra-detailed requests from clients, but now? Bring on the fine lines and script fonts!The setup was super intuitive, even for someone who isn’t exactly tech-savvy. I connected it to my phone via AirPlay in minutes, and the included tripod and remote make working hands-free a breeze. No more stopping mid-piping to adjust a dial or wrestle with cords.What I really appreciate is how portable and rechargeable it is. I can move around my workspace without searching for outlets, and the battery life lasts through multiple decorating sessions. Plus, it’s compact enough to store neatly when not in use—doesn’t hog counter space like some bigger models.If cookie decorating is part of your business or just a sweet hobby, this projector is worth the investment. It’s like having a precision assistant right there with you, helping make every cookie flawless.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased several pico projectors to test for my purposes, and this was the one I kept. I wanted to be able to trace onto canvas or chalkboards from about one foot away, while being able to utilize the projector for potential future projects as well. All in all, this is a well-rounded projector with great qualities.*** I did not test the movie streaming functions, since that is not what I need this projector for. ***Pros:- It’s wireless, which means I don’t have to attach my iPhone to it, which is a huge deal to me since my phone charger port is on its last legs and will barely hold the cable in. I struggled with this a lot while using the first projector. Although the instructions indicate to download EZCast, the projector utilizes Screen Mirroring without the iphone software installed.- Auto-keystone, which is ideal for me; the image will always correct itself to be square even if I’m projecting at an angle. I attached a video showing the projector auto-keystoning from the chalkboard on the floor to the wall.- Clarity of video on close-up.- Almost all the accessories you'll need to get up and running is included in the box. The projector came with the tripod, a USB charging cable, a USB wall wart, the remote, and even an HDMI cable. The projector was even already mostly charged upon arrival. The only thing you'll need is two AA batteries for the remote control.Cons:- The remote is absolute garbage. The last part of the video shows me trying in vain to click the "OK" button less than one inch away from the projector itself, with no response. New batteries do not correct the issues.- No lens cover. Other pico projectors included a plastic or attached swivel cover to protect the lens while not in use.

Great projector works great with iPhone very helpful for frosting custom cookies.
