### 3/5 — Twitter access point is needed for this app.

*2018-08-03*

Been looking all the on how to access Twitter and your instruction don’t seem to show up anywhere. This app doesn’t even show in settings. Need a fix or an update or something.

### 1/5 — Update?

*2014-11-28*

This app needs an update for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

### 4/5 — Needs a delay/manual start

*2013-05-15*

Good amount of controls, but when you press Done it starts immediately. You either need to tap the screen for it to start scrolling or have a short delay after pressing done.

### 4/5 — 良いと思います

*2012-10-04*

全体的に満足です。

コメント登録数がもっとあればいいですね。
登録コメントごとに点滅設定が個別にできるといいですね。今のままだと点滅設定をすると、全部の登録コメントが点滅になってしまいます。

### 4/5 — Long date format is incomplete

*2012-09-28*

Everething is nice except the date format. I got this application because I also needed the weekday displayed in the date like this: "Friday September 28,  2012". Now Im dissapointed because this option is not available. May you please add this feature? Thanks

### 1/5 — Upside down

*2012-07-07*

Worked fine until I updated. Now it displays messages on my iPhone only upside down.

### 1/5 — First you take our money twice, now you make it universal???!!!

*2012-05-01*

And you have ruined the app!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-02-23*

This app is great for anything that requires signage. It's full screen and can go portrait or landscape. It has various colours and supports Japanese, Korean and Chinese as well as English. Get this app if you want a cool fansign for concerts, birthdays or airport meets.

### 4/5 — Color?

*2012-02-14*

Cool App, but I wish I could have the option to display each message in a different color.  This would be a great update.

### 5/5 — Awesome Banner

*2012-01-15*

This Banner is absolutely great. Easy to use and full of surprises. It truly deserves all five stars. You won't be disappointed.
