Broken wand

The wand doesn’t respond to grip. Actually, the opposite, it always thinks it is being held and therefore cannot cast spells. Really disappointed and hoping a software update could change the sensitivity.

Not even connecting.

After the first three days of getting this wand, I was loving it. I liked all the spells they were all working significantly. After eight days of having this, I realized today that it wasn’t even connecting to the app, and I have uninstall this app and reinstalled it, and it still has not worked. I don’t know why my wand has not been connecting to the app. I have tried various times, and it still hasn’t worked. I’m thinking of returning, but I’m not sure whether it’s the type of wand, it is because I have the Honorable wand and for some reason it’s just not connecting anymore and I and gripping the sensors when I don’t want it to turn on. They really need to update this app.

Horrible App, Cheap (yet very expensive) wand

The app does not work at all. When trying to cast to the TV, the TV directs you to the app and the app directs you to the TV. The app is so sensitive it’s impossible to use. It’s infuriating.

The wand is so cheap. The box is amazing, the wand itself looks and feels like it’s from the dollar store. Very light weight, not fully painted, it’s so disappointing.

If I could give the app and the wand negative stars, I would.

Cool but has bugs

Got the caster wand as a Christmas gift from the wife as I'm a huge DnD/BP fan. I love the app and the spells and the sense of progress by leveling up. But a big reason for the wand was because of HUE integration which does not work at all. Can connect to my bridge but none of the spells thst affect hue (according to website) do anything to my hue lights.

Total disappointment

I was very excited to receive this wand. The box with light and music was great when it worked. Now nothing, it won’t even take a charge. The wand never worked properly and the app is a total disaster! I’m afraid this my be going back.

Wishing the advertised functions worked

Disappointed to say the least. Frustrating at best. We purchased this for our 10 yo including LIFX bulbs and while it recognizes the bulbs it will not pair them. As many have said this app needs work. Getting the calibration and connectivity (even to the few compatible devices) issues would be a huge plus and help this app and wand work as advertised. Hoping these bugs are fixed soon as our return window closes in just a couple weeks.

Extremely limited

I bought this wand because I thought I would be able to turn on and off many smart devices in my home. I even went ahead and got smart outlets in hope I can turn things like my Christmas tree on and off. But now I know it will only connect to two type of smart lightbulbs that I don’t even own. Now that I think about it this device doesn’t connect to WiFi so I guess maybe giving commands to the phone and the phone would have to turn smart devices on and off. Whatever the case maybe this needs a huge update.

Cool concept, poor execution

“Santa” got it for my daughter. Box and anticipation is cool until you feel the cheap wand. App doesn’t work well. App keeps freezing and loosing connection with wand.
Disappointed.

Doesn’t work.

Bought 2. My wife’s works but mine cannot detect any tracking movements. Trying to send back for replacement and emailed support. For the price tag, very frustrating on Christmas Day.

TV compatibility very limited. Don’t buy!!!!!!

This wand is only compatible with Apple TV or Amazon Fire TV. I don’t think they make that obvious when purchasing. Expect to wave your wand at a phone or a tablet instead for a truly sucky non-immersive experience
