### 5/5 — Best Projection App

*2026-06-11*

More robust than most projection mapping apps I’ve tried. I also appreciate that the platform showcase is work from independent artists, giving users access to original artwork while supporting creators.

### 5/5 — Lit!

*2026-04-02*

Awesome app! Very user friendly and easy to learn.

### 4/5 — Great, but..

*2026-02-15*

I can’t fullscreen it so I have to constantly press down to fullscreen. Please add a fullscreen button. Other than that the app is great.

**Developer response:** Hey thanks for the review! Can you please email me at illusivelightworks@gmail.com, I’d love to look into this. The app should always be fullscreen by default.
