Sorry but I do not speak or read Chinese. Can not add my own music. Can not make. My own captions to be displayed on cap. Instruction lettering is too small! The cap is fun but very limited. Needs better programming! ### 3/5 — Help *2025-10-21, version 1.4.7* Got hat and can’t connect to phone app ### 4/5 — 文字数増やして欲しい *2025-09-22, version 1.4.7* 使いやすくて良いんだけどDIYになると一画面分しか作れないのがつらい。 文字入力と同じくらいの長さDIYで書くことが出来れば星5だと思う。 ### 4/5 — Cool but a few problems *2025-07-10, version 1.4.7* So in videos I saw a mask with 4 colors and then I saw another one with a bunch of mask that were just blue so I assume that the mask could have different settings to change the colors and what not I am incorrect in the statement. The mass does only have four. Also, this is just the idea for the app if you wanna add like a edit style, where you can make your own animation so you could customize like how fast they swap and this would give us a.k.a. the people who bought this just more free freedom with the mask which I think will be a lot nicer so like animations you could have slide ones slide two slide three or could they could go with simple animations or if you’d like added this is like advanced animation hopefully not paid for it because we already paid for a mask that would be kind of cool and also if you could to whatever your phone is playing that also be pretty nice. These are just some critique mass seem more customizable other than that it works perfectly fine just so you know reports at least three at most cause I have a splitter for chargers, and you can charge it from but unless it has three USB ports to camp just saying this because need three and I bought a pair of walkie-talkies out of a split end that works for these also the sides are just bike helmet lights so yeah, but on that perfectly fine if they could do the critiques of the app just adding a little bit more customization pretty good also pretty good ### 2/5 — It’ll do *2024-10-26, version 1.4.7* It’s ok but you can’t make your own animation and you can only use provided songs or ones purchased from iTunes ### 1/5 — JORGE DJ *2024-09-18, version 1.4.7* Difícil ### 2/5 — It’s just okay *2024-09-06, version 1.4.7* A couple of months ago (about June 2024) I watched a Live demonstration on TikTok for these LED hats by YoYoway. During the demonstration we were told unlimited text, we could change colors, and I thought he said we could even change the font! Viewers typed in their ideas so they could see it appear on the cap! It really was a great demonstration and he made it look EASY. I probably should have asked him to show us the app as he made the changes. During that demonstration, I bought four hats for an event THIS Sunday. So, as I'm getting one hat ready I'm discovering I can't change the font color, text limit was about 80 characters, and no font options. The print in the instruction booklet is so small you need a magnifying glass. I went back to the TikTok shop and of course you have write a review or return them within 30 days. Very disappointing. ### 2/5 — Missing features *2024-06-23, version 1.4.7* So many features are non functional. Can’t upload pic or gif. Animation is lacking. Other apps have way more features. This one is not good. ### 3/5 — Not able to insert *2024-05-22, version 1.4.7* I’m not able to invert my texts ### 1/5 — Cant get it to connect *2024-02-28, version 1.4.7* Bought this silly hat, instructed me to get this app to work the led billboard. CANNOT get it to connect via Bluetooth. ### 3/5 — Needs to be read *2023-12-23, version 1.4.6* This hat would be better if you could connect your own music and have your own design ### 2/5 — Biggy app. No custom designs. *2023-12-20, version 1.4.6* Bugs in app: * lost the ability to create custom designs * if you use an apostrophe (‘) in the text, the is an extra space added after the apostrophe. Example: “I’m Happy” shows “I’ m Happy” on hat. ### 3/5 — Needs more *2023-11-19, version 1.4.6* Looks great works good but not enough colors and not enough preset images to use needs more than it is a five star but for now 3 stars I like it though ### 1/5 — Needs more animations and ability to use emojis like hearts *2023-09-29, version 1.4.4* When you first download it gives you the option to use Pac-Man / fish when you connect to device the option is no longer available also when I wrote messages I would of thought you could add emojis such as hearts etc really disappointed considering how much I paid for device this is linked to from cyberdog ### 1/5 — Crashes on attempt to write text *2023-09-25, version 1.4.3* If you tap in the text area to enter text, it crashes immediately in iOS and iPadOS. There’s no way to enter custom text. It’s useless unless you like the few pre-built images that it comes with. I hope this will be fixed in a future version. It makes that hat much less fun. ### 2/5 — 編集しようとすると落ちる *2023-09-24, version 1.4.3* アプリで自由編集をしようとすると落ちる。 なので、文字入力ができない。 アプリをアップデートしてくれ。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Help *2026-08-09, version 1.4.7* How do you get it to work ?!! ### 1/5 — Connection *2026-08-04, version 1.4.7* The hat app and device I use after downloading will not connect will not work is there an issues with using this ? ### 1/5 — bluetooth?? *2026-01-11, version 1.4.7* Yea right, i cannot for the life of me , connect my hat to the app on my phone ### 1/5 — Unable to connect *2025-12-26, version 1.4.7* Unable to connect to display through app or apple Bluetooth menu, app was unable to discover the device; or even show me it was looking for a device. ### 1/5 — False advertising *2025-12-02, version 1.4.7* You advertised way more options for your app and hat and failed miserably I even returned the hat immediately don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Hat display *2025-02-02, version 1.4.7* Horrible it's upside down and I can't fix it ### 1/5 — App doesn’t connect *2024-12-24, version 1.4.7* I bought an LED hat from a vendor (CYB wear) in Las Vegas. They told me to charge the hat and connect it to the app via Bluetooth. I’ve tried multiple times and the hat will not connect to the app. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Don’t upgrade new software *2024-12-12, version 1.4.7* You used to be able to change the color of the texts and fonts. Now it’s all very basic. The upgrade is actually a down grade! ### 1/5 — Needs and english touch *2024-11-28, version 1.4.7* Definitely needs to be vetted by at least one person who speaks english ### 1/5 — Won’t even connect to Bluetooth, why???? *2024-10-16, version 1.4.7* …….. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Время *2025-01-31, version 1.4.7* Добавьте пожалуйста чтобы на бейдже менялось время. Тоесть не самому менять каждую минуту а чтобы самому менялось. Кто согласен? ### 5/5 — Simple but effective *2024-10-09, version 1.4.7* I couldn’t figure out how to get the text sent to the hat- I thought the app was outdated but, you have to hit the red button at the bottom ### 5/5 — Awesome and fun hat! *2024-04-29, version 1.4.7* I love this hat so much! I’m looking forward to see how far you will go with it! I’m getting these for everyone I know ### 5/5 — Sehr gut! *2024-02-24, version 1.4.7* Insgesamt sehr gut, schön wäre es, wenn man eine gemischten Mut hätte, wo man die Animation im Wechsel darstellen kann. Würde sich für Kirmes Darstellung gut eignen. ### 5/5 — Fun especially for holidays! *2022-09-28, version 1.4.3* Easy to use after connected to Bluetooth. ### 5/5 — Works good for my face mask *2022-09-09, version 1.4.3* Good app, does what it’s supposed to do. Pretty simple to use and works great for my led lighted face mask called the Magic Mask on Amazon. I wish that there were more pre loaded animations though or a way to create your own. But the text scrolls great and the custom drawing part works great as well. Usually if there’s trouble connecting, it’s because the battery is low on the mask. ### 5/5 — Great product!! *2022-08-28, version 1.4.3* Very easy to use and a lot of fun ### 5/5 — Does what it says *2022-06-21, version 1.4.3* Very very cool little display / animations ### 5/5 — Best app for controlling the LED strap. *2022-01-24, version 1.4.3* But I have some concern regarding the music function of the app. Please add the music sync feature with Spotify or Apple Music in the music section. But overall it’s the best app out there. ### 5/5 — Amazing product *2021-12-25, version 1.4.3* I helped manage the entrance to the Bitcoin 2021 Conference, I was gifted a free mask and just bow had the time to sit down and check it out. AMAZING PRODUCT!!!! You will do very well with this technology!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
