### 1/5 — Still doesn’t work

*2021-12-31, version 1.2*

Looks like your developer has made little progress - I get a black screen same as just about every reviewer before me.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother, it doesn’t work

*2021-12-31, version 1.2*

The camera stays black, the app doesn’t work!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2021-12-30, version 1.2*

App developers keep responding to reviews saying they are working on the glitch but nothing so far. This isn’t a glitch - it just doesn’t work period. Sad. Not holding my breath on this one but I have a very disappointed kid over here.

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2021-12-30, version 1.2*

Well I got to listen to a screaming 4 year old when I couldn’t get animation to work - please fix this it’s the reason my mom bought this for my child

### 1/5 — Terrible and Disappointed

*2021-12-29, version 1.2*

The app used for the box only shows a black screen when the camera is activated for interaction. The gift itself has seemingly good reviews on Amazon, however after receiving as a gift for my child, downloading the app for interactive play, we now see the absolute terrible reviews under the app.  Do not purchase! You will be disappointed just like the rest of us !!

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2021-12-29, version 1.2*

The app isn’t working when you open it’s just a black screen. Other than the the jewelry box is gorgeous and the necklace and bracelet are beautiful and our girlie loves it. Just wish the app worked so it can be fully enjoyed.

### 1/5 — No camera access

*2021-12-28, version 1.2*

No camera access. Disappointed as this was a Christmas gift for my granddaughter.

### 1/5 — what’s with the black screen?

*2021-12-27, version 1.2*

we wanted to try the “bring it to life” feature but the camera screen is black . i’ve deleted and reinstalled many times, still no chances

### 1/5 — Black Screen

*2021-12-27, version 1.2*

Using an iPhone 13 Pro, and nothing but a black screen.

### 1/5 — Busted app

*2021-12-26, version 1.2*

Don’t bother downloading. It doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2021-12-26, version 1.2*

Unable to view.

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2021-12-25, version 1.2*

Would not recommend. Very disappointed. The camera just stays a black screen and never gives an image.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-12-25, version 1.2*

Same issue as everyone a year ago. Camera access allowed but just a black screen. Would have bought a different one but chose this for the app feature. Have a disappointed little girl who wanted to see the unicorn.

### 1/5 — Black Screen - App doesn’t work

*2021-12-25, version 1.2*

The app just goes to a black screen when accessing the camera. Disappointing since it’s part of the selling point for the item

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2021-12-25, version 1.2*

Just a black screen when you push play

### 1/5 — Black screen still

*2021-12-23, version 1.2*

There is still the issue of the black screen as mentioned before… when accessing the camera, there is a black screen and are not able to access the animation. Super bummer for my grandchild as well.
They had mentioned the would fix this glitch (I think a year ago) and have not. Perhaps they should not include it as a selling point if they can’t fix it.

### 1/5 — Did not work

*2022-03-08, version 1.3*

Pointed app camera everywhere at box, inside & out, open & closed. Nothing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-02-27, version 1.3*

App downloads and opens fine but nothing happens no matter how we point the camera at the mermaid box. Daughter was very disappointed

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-01-31, version 1.2*

Camera just gives a black screen.

### 1/5 — Wasting time for the app

*2022-01-29, version 1.2*

The app is a very simple download and easy to navigate. The issue and reason for a 1 star rating is the “alive” feature. The camera doesn’t open in the app. Thankfully this was a gift and we didn’t spend money on the jewelry box. However, a plain jewelry box would’ve been better since the app doesn’t work with it. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling multiple times. It doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — If I could I would give no stars

*2022-01-18, version 1.2*

Doesn’t work at all. Just a black screen when it’s supposed to be using the camera. I even tried deleting and downloading again, still nothing. Sure would be nice if you fixed this problem.

### 1/5 — Black

*2022-01-12, version 1.2*

Can you please make an effort to fix this already?!?! If not, your product, and the advertisement of your music boxes are misleading. (False advertising)

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2022-01-09, version 1.2*

Daughters were super bummed that they could not experience the unicorn magic. If this is a recurring problem they should remove the false advertisement from their product page mentioning this as a key selling point.

### 1/5 — Black camera screen

*2022-01-09, version 1.2*

Camera screen black. Glitch in the app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-01-02, version 1.2*

App doesn’t work. Wish I had known before purchase; this was a Santa gift and part of the magic was supposed to be the unicorn dancing on top of the box. I would have gifted a different item had I know this didn’t work.

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2022-01-02, version 1.2*

Nothing but a black screen shows up when trying to use it. Super disappointed!

### 5/5 — It came alive finally!

*2022-12-16, version 1.4*

We bought this last Christmas and the app had a lot of problems, I finally came back and redownloaded the app and gave it a try and the unicorn came alive. Just point it at the top of the box with the lid closed.

### 5/5 — Very cute

*2020-11-06, version 1.1*

Very sweet app to go with the music box which my daughter loves!

### 4/5 — Point the camera at the top of box to work!

*2022-04-01, version 1.3*

I almost gave up but then we pointed at the top of the box and it started to work and my daughter loved it. But u have to keep the top of the box in view it seems to keep the image running

### 3/5 — Really nice jewelry box but no app

*2022-01-01, version 1.2*

App doesn’t work really is a downer. My grandchild was very excited and then let down that the app didn’t work. Just a black screen.

### 3/5 — Aint nuthin to see here. Literally.

*2021-12-04, version 1.2*

I’ll delete and reinstall. Sitting here with 3 little girls and only have a black camera screen.

### 2/5 — Camera issue

*2022-01-15, version 1.2*

This would be really cool if the animated setting on the app actually worked once you try to use the camera it’s just a black screen .. I would’ve paid less for the same jewelry box without the “come to life feature” if I knew this was going to happen 

Still a very cute box just wish the app actually worked
