### 1/5 — It keeps resetting

*2024-12-09*

I connect it with my phone and as soon as I walk away, it resets to all zeros.

### 5/5 — Workin good still

*2024-12-08*

Still works good have it out this year

### 1/5 — Won’t Sync Time

*2024-11-29*

The app can’t sync with the time on my phone, and therefore can’t set the proper time for the countdown.

### 1/5 — Can’t see it

*2020-12-05*

It’s so dull you can hardly see it. Needs different color light options for lighter colored houses and needs to be stronger.

### 4/5 — Works fine

*2019-12-07*

This is the second Christmas we have had this. Works fine and set up was easy. Only drawback is we have to set it every evening, that maybe because we use timers and switches inside but that’s really no big deal because it just takes a second to connect.

### 1/5 — How do you sync the time and date?!

*2019-12-01*

I was really excited to set this up for my son this year but I can’t figure out for the life of me how to get my time and date to sync with the app?! Why aren’t there clearer directions?? Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Why won’t it work?

*2018-12-21*

There’s no on off button on the projector. I plugged it in and nothing happened. I downloaded the app got the Bluetooth going supposedly it hooked up but nothings happening still. Lame.

### 5/5 — Works how it’s supposed to.

*2018-01-09*

At first I was thrown off on the whole date time sync but it dawned on me the you must be within 90 days of the sync. Much easier then pushing the M button 200 times.

### 1/5 — Zero Stars

*2018-01-07, version 1.0.17*

We purchased the Countdown to Christmas.  Bluetooth will not connect to phone.

### 1/5 — Christmas count down works fine

*2018-01-06*

Christmas and more dose not work and that’s the only reason I got this one
