  • Out of box thinking!

    A punk rocker at a bar was holding up their iPhone and I had to find out what cleverness was that.

    Brilliant! Would reccommend future features like color, speed, rotation, flash and icons.
  • Simple, great, and priced well.

    I could see some potential ehancements for this program. Such as colors, common custom phrases for quick selection, a quick clear button in the input field, and an option to use a standard font with out the led background. These are NOT complaints. But I would donate to the author of this program should he/she continue developing it. And keeping it free. Thank you so much.

  • Needs a speed setting

    While this application is neat (my wife and I get separated in the movies when she goes for popcorn and I get the seats) the speed is WAY too slow... I have an LED name badge that has fully scroll speed function, flashing, and a couple of other neat tricks... if this software had flashing, color options, and a speed control... it would have gotten 5 stars from me... heck, I would have even paid for that stuff... I just want it to say "Honey, Over here!!!" and not take 10 minutes to scroll across

  • It does what it advertises and it does it well.

    This is a simple banner app. I don't know why anyone would think it was anything more. It's free and it scrolls text. People pay $50 for beltbuckles that do this, so I can't see the problem. Is it useless? Pretty much. I guess if you were seated across from a buddy at a game it would be kinda fun. Or if you're driving and you want the guy behind you to know what's on your mind when he's tailgating you. It delivers on what it promises and it does so in a way that is simple and direct.

  • Slow. Limited Brightness

    At first, this application would not load on my iPhone 2G. A power off restart fixed that. This app works, and is free, but could use some polishing. It would be nice to have a speed adjustment, color adjustment and perhaps non-aliasing option (the aliasing simply blurrs the message it seems).
  • Banner scroll

    Okay, yeah, turn your $400 iPhone into a $100 belt buckle Seriously though, this is a cute little app, that 100% delivers. Granted a speed controller would be nice, but my big issue may not be able to be resolved: duration. You get maybe two scrolls before the Pod shuts down it's screen. So, MY suggestion for the next great version would be to have some way to fake a screen input or something and have a timer to run. That way you can set it to scroll for an hour, or a day (if it's plugged in). Maybe all that stuff should be in the paid version. Ohhh.... add color options too.

  • Performs as promised

    Very well done! I'll be ready to pay for the next version when enhancements mentioned by others are implemented. For those who see no use for this program, it is just simply FUN! I scored points with my wife of 30 years with the love message I flashed her! Thank you!
  • Could be improved, but what a great idea!

    How cool is this? You can annoy people at great distances...signal your luddite friends without phones...or use it as a unique and less-obnoxious way to request songs at concerts. Yes, it needs a speed control and a bug fix or two... but c'mon, it's free and an excellent idea. :) Keep up the good work!

  • Nice bit I'd pay for a few more features

    This is a great little app that I'm still trying to find a use for. I'm sure I find one.

    The only bug i found was that the last character ends up displaying incorrectly. Adding a space after the last character takes care of it but it shouldn't have too.

    It would also be nice to be able to define background/text color, scroll speed, and vertical/horizontal orientation. Add those and I'd pay for the app!

  • Fun toy!

    Simple idea but awesome execution! This will work great at a concert or loud bar, write a note and hold up your phone!

    Possible improvements would be a speed setting. The default speed is kind of slow.
