### 2/5 — Not what I thought!

*2025-07-01*

Just to look at? Not even live Lock Screen? Wallpaper? $5 for what?

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2024-11-23, version 0.2.2*

Absolutely love the concept, but unfortunately it can not be set as a screen saver and also on my version of iOS the Apple white bar will not disappear vertical and or horizontally.

### 4/5 — Standby needs work

*2024-11-01*

The app is great, but would be perfect if “wake up neo” sign would be configurable to no show or close in X sec after closing.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-09-16*

Wow, I was not expecting to find this! It was my windows screensaver on PCs since around 2006.  I was searching for matrix screensaver in the app and it didn’t come up in search results. It was recommended from another similar app that was really bad.
Thanks for keeping this alive and making it available for iOS devices! It’s on my iPad in the car. Worth the purchase just to support the devs.

### 1/5 — Aber ?

*2023-06-29*

Was zum Teufel ist das (Restore Purchases?? Was macht es ? Schluckt das Passwort und dann .?.da kommt leider kein Zeichen ob es funktioniert hat oder nicht ? Oder das alles zurück erstellt wurde

### 5/5 — Pro upgrade

*2023-06-07*

I’ve been looking for something like this for a REALLY long time. Had one before, but it wasn’t updated for a newer iOS, so it stopped working.

Paid $5 for the pro upgrade. Hopefully new features get added. Maybe the ability to choose different colors? Aside from that, this is really nice to watch.

### 1/5 — Digital rain

*2023-05-21, version 0.2.2*

Can't be set as wallpaper is is just a screen waste of money

### 1/5 — Pro versión.

*2023-04-30*

I do not see the difference between the free and pro version. I spend 4,99 and did not receive anything in exchange. It’s the same version.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, we will try make the description more clear. Pro version allows unlimited play time, while the free version won’t stop screen from turning off (depending on your phone’s settings). If that’s not what you need, pls request a refund.
