  • Great thing to own

    It’s definitely a talking piece, however a lot of my patterns that I downloaded don’t play! Why is that? Also- I would really love the option in the future to draw out my own designs. As a graphic designer this is a huge need! Is that in the works? I would rate 5 stars if the patterns not playing issue is resolved and a new option of making your own pattern is a thing!
  • Won’t pause between patterns

    I’ve had my drift for a while, I enjoy the product, but the most important feature to me, pausing between patterns, refuses to work. I never get to see completed patterns because it instantly moves on no matter what I try. I’m not sure if I will keep the unit, for the money I could probably build my own and create a raspberry pi program that works better.
  • Any updates..? Ever?

    I'll preface that I love the table for what it is and it's definitely been great for meditation and a great conversation piece for most guests over that see it. However, does the app ever update..? Any new patterns? New features? The patterns included are great, but they're starting to get a bit old and repetitive after 8 or so months. Almost regretting buying the Drift due to the lack of support of this app over other brand tables that have regular updates and many, many more patterns than this.
  • Glad I purchased this item

    Lots of Father’s Day patterns, but no Mother’s Day… could you create one or two please. A lucky FOUR LEAF CLOVER, would be great for St. Patrick’s Day.
    (Assuming you are still have plans to create new patterns and updates in the future) Would love to get this for my mother for Mother’s Day with a MOTHERS DAY pattern etched out in the sand.

  • App Broke my Drift during Setup

    While completing the setup for the Drift all was well. The lights were functioning and everything looked fine. However, the moment I began to try and connect to the app the Drift no longer lit up and no longer connects. It is connect via Bluetooth; however, I receive an error “read data” when trying to connect. So much money went to waste.
  • Gotta leave an honest review

    I always wanted one of these, and my local Bed Bath and Beyond is going out of business, so they had these for a great price and I picked one up ($250, 16”). I was worried, reading reviews about the app, but I gotta say, the Drift and the app have worked flawlessly (this is after about 6 hours of nonstop use). I’ve tried several patterns, and this thing is amazing. It’s quick to respond to input, it’s intuitive and easy. And the table is mesmerizing. Might go pick ups some more to give as gifts. Awesome stuff.
  • Love the Drift, the app needs work

    Love the Drift product! I could spend hours watching it (and sometimes do!). The app, however, is glitchy and requires me to uninstall and reinstall A LOT. New patterns won’t load, the app freezes, etc. Could really use more updates more often.

    Also, one major thing I would LOVE to be able to do with my Drift is UPLOAD MY OWN PATTERNS! Or customize existing patterns. There has to be some way to do this, no? Please, please, please give us an upgrade that will allow us to do this! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
  • Glad I purchased this item

    An, Happy Mother’s Day! … pattern would be lovely (lots of Father’s Day patterns, but no Mother’s Day). I’ve been asking for one for over a year. I’m hoping one drops before Mother’s Day.

    Hoping to see St. Patrick’s Day patterns as well. At least a, lucky FOUR LEAF CLOVER, if it’s not too much trouble.

    Thank you for continuing to drop new patterns.

  • I love this - please come out w mothers day update

    Have had the HoMedics drift since January. I have the smaller one. I love it so much and everyone who comes over loves it. The new update w the plants is my favorite. suggestions - please come out w new ones for Mother’s Day. And more plants, animals, flowers. And more colors. Also, if you made a table this could fit into I would totally buy that!
  • Needs Improvement

    The Drift product itself is great, but this app is lacking. It takes an inordinate amount of time to load the patterns, and the app won’t let you do anything else when a pattern is loading. In fact, I need to actively tap my screen to keep my phone from locking so it doesn’t interrupt the process. They could programmatically override the phone lock just like other apps. I should also be able to browse and queue to load other patterns while one is loading. Once a a pattern finally loads, I get this blocking “loading success” message which is completely unnecessary. Lastly, users should get notifications when new patterns are available.
