Was really hoping I could host a movie night for my nieces and nephews yet I can’t seem to get this device to even find the device to connect if it mirrors the phone screen it will not reproduce the actually movie or videos on the screen. I’ve only managed to get YouTube to project thankfully thus it seems YouTube will not let me rent movies due to my location (I live in Colombia now) — so ve also invested in renting a movie on Amazon Video and on Apple TV in hopes it would project — and it doesn’t— downloaded the Kodak app— have searched through all the help and support channels to see what the problem is… and nothing- I also can’t do a wired connection on HDMI because the ports on new devices now do not match — anywho I’m left with just being able to show my pictures and YouTube videos vi the projector— and look for old school hard drives with an la movies that will display via this Kodak device— great quality picture thus not fully there.. ### 1/5 — Not friendly use *2023-11-13, version 1.2* Hard to connect with device specially with the remote the come with it ### 1/5 — So bad it’s crap FAKE!!FAKE!! *2023-09-20, version 1.2* So bad it crap never using this app FAKE!! ### 1/5 — Remote doesn’t pair *2023-09-14, version 1.2* Takes numerous attempts to pair with phone to use as a remote. ### 1/5 — Connection to the projector failed constantly *2023-07-15, version 1.2* Connection to the projector failed constantly. Every time I have to waste at least 20-30 mins to figure out how to make this app connect to the projector. Waste my time and money. Trash app. ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2023-05-21, version 1.2* Took this projector on a summer fun trip with family. It took 3 hours for it to update. Then several hours to try to connect to streaming services. Multiple glitches, restarts and another 2 hours, we just gave up. Makes a rather poor paperweight, but that’s about it. Hard pass on this one. ### 1/5 — Useless App *2023-04-26, version 1.2* This app is garbage, cannot use app on phone unless i connect my phone and projector to the same Wi-Fi, instead of just connecting to my hotspot, can never use the app so why even bother!!!! ### 1/5 — Bad app *2023-04-22, version 1.2* No funciona con iPhone 14, mala conexión y se ve borroso ### 1/5 — Poor connection with projector *2023-03-10, version 1.2* Terrible connectivity One day it’ll connect right away, the next day it takes 20 minutes ### 2/5 — Take forever to connect *2023-03-06, version 1.2* I don’t think you could make this more difficult if you tried There too many steps to connect the device ### 1/5 — Kodak Krap *2023-02-04, version 1.2* Just horrible! If only it would connect. One starts feeling inferior in thought but it’s this P.O.S! ### 1/5 — Won’t connect/crap OS *2023-01-29, version 1.2* This thing worked great the first 2 days. Now we can’t get it to connect to our phone-remote and the remote it came with is useless. U can’t navigate through the apps, it won’t connect to pairing. The projection is great but completely a moot point since no media can connect or operate properly ### 1/5 — Horrible Operating System *2022-12-25, version 1.2* I’ve been working at setting this thing up for HOURS! It is horrible! Device is cool ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2022-12-07, version 1.2* I can’t logged n because the “sing up” button is blocked by the keyboard that never disappears and has no hide button on iphone. Annoying. Also my Luma 450 remote won’t pair with the project. Frustrating. ### 1/5 — Please fix remote app *2022-11-20, version 1.2* The remote keeps disconnecting. It’s very frustrating. I may need to return product. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Insatisfecho *2025-05-25, version 1.2* Ya no sirve necesita actualización o algo. Ya no detecta los dispositivos, en mi caso estoy en el iOS más reciente y al parecer no puedo hacer de control remoto el proyector. Anterior mente si no se si sea el teléfono. (No creo) ### 1/5 — Won’t Pair with Projector *2025-03-05, version 1.2* The app can’t find the projector. Luckily, the screen mirroring does work. ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-12-17, version 1.2* App doesn’t work. Won’t even connect to the projector and since you NEED the app to work certain features, I’m returning the projector and deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Pesima app *2024-10-28, version 1.2* Super dificil que se conecte al aparato tardo hasta una hora en poder conectarme y poder proyectar ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-10-06, version 1.2* App is dead ### 1/5 — Updated needed *2024-09-23, version 1.2* App / software needs to be updated as screen mirroring/ Airplay no longer works (not sure it’s compatible with the new IOS) but it doesn’t look like this app has been updated in four years, the apps on the Kodak store are also limited to download and don’t have Paramount+, HBO max, etc. have tried USBc to HDMI yet, frustrating cause the projector system is really good and deserves 5stars. They just need to maintain the software. Will update rating once update is made . ### 1/5 — It’s lagging *2024-09-19, version 1.2* This app can not connect two Kodak Projectors. Also one you turned off Projector it’s disappeared from the lose in app and you need d do steps all over again to reconnect the projector. ### 1/5 — Not ultra HD *2024-04-02, version 1.2* Picture not clear ### 1/5 — Device couldn’t be found *2023-12-16, version 1.2* Despite being on the device hotspot, the app can’t connect, tried on multiple phones. Very poor. ### 1/5 — Projector Never Shows Up in App *2023-12-15, version 1.2* Subject says it all. I’m sitting right next to the projector, my phone and projector are connected to the same wifi, and with strong signal, but the projector just doesn’t show up in the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — YouTube *2026-02-18, version 1.2* YouTube mirroring and streaming is always fails… not great streaming. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2020-09-07, version 1.2* I love it ### 5/5 — 🤩🤩🤩 *2020-07-31, version 1.2* This is Awesome very Clear, Bright, Rich Colors it has a Android feel 2 it 😒😒 don’t like that Kodak Upgrade 2 Apple OS Feel, also it Needs a Battery Icon Symbol so we can see how much battery we have left when operating it do like a iPhone Icon 🔋 ### 5/5 — Clean and functional *2020-04-06, version 1.1* App works well, clean design! ### 4/5 — Great but a bit slow to pair sometimes *2023-12-28, version 1.2* Great but a bit slow to pair sometimes ### 4/5 — Bluetooth issues *2021-02-10, version 1.2* I just got this and played with it for a while. With a Luma 350. Easy setup, easy connect, easy navigation, the projector is awesome. But if connected to a Bluetooth speaker. In my case Amazon echo dot. As soon as I touch anything in the app. It mutes the sound. No sound from the speaker and no sound from the projector. I was about to order a Bluetooth speaker thinking might be the Amazon echo. But decided to try it again and it automatically connected to the speaker and there was sound as soon as the movie started. Went to move the volume on the app... and wham! Muted. Edit. Went back to try it again and now it works with no problem. Didn’t change anything didn’t do anything different. It just worked. Up to 4 stars. ### 4/5 — Easy to navigate *2021-01-15* Sometimes the scrolls or clicks can lag or the keyboard doesn’t work on certain things ### 4/5 — Cool *2020-02-11, version 1.0* Thanks for fixing the login. Cool app. ### 3/5 — Decent *2026-07-12, version 1.2* No ability to adjust color tone. App is a lot less integrated than the app that comes with the $200 projector from Amazon. I would accredit that to the fact that this is compact projector as opposed to full size, but that has nothing to do with how much resources are spent on making a seamless app experience. For Kodak to charge more for less machine, just because of their name brand, it’s a put off. We pay for the name brand yes we accept this as consumers. But we also pay for you to outshine the competitors. No one pay more for Apple just because it’s Apple. We also expect their products to outperform their competitors (especially the generic brands found on marketplace style websites). Kodak please consider spending as much resources on the app experience as you do on the aesthetics of creating the portable device. It’s pretty but even the limited functionality of the remote control is strange, its limitations are unacceptable when compared to cheaper machines. Its limitations also mean you are tethered to a phone to operate this projector in most capacities. ### 3/5 — Connection and app play *2023-07-14, version 1.2* This is a good projector but there are too many complicated connection issue in regards to wirelessly streaming from premium subscriptions such as Hulu & HBO ETC. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
