音が出ない

音量を上げても音が全く出ない
3年前にレビューされている方も音が出ないと書いてありますね。
タカラトミーの開発者やる気あるんでしょうか？
音出すための改善くらい3年もあれば出来るでしょう。
もうメルカリで売ります。
アプリ必須である以上、本体のクオリティやコンセプトは秀逸なのにまだ販売するべきレベルではない代物です。
惚れ込んで買ったのに裏切られました。

使いにくい

まず、砂嵐が頻繁に起きすぎてます。そして家はモノクロテレビですがここまで画質が汚くありません1950年と1960年の画質を、もうちょっときれいにしてください
ママウス🐀

砂嵐オフの設定が出来るようにして欲しい

画質もちょっと、ボケ過ぎ。
商品コンセプトはとても良い。
