Little bit of a hiccup setting it up but after resetting the app and the box worked like a charm. Can't wait to see what other apps you can add in the future!
Reviews for Tidbyt
← Back to TidbytI can't get my device to connect via my phone. It worked one time now it won't connect any more . Support is not answering Thier mail. So I guess I'm stuck with this doorstop as I can't get any response from support on email or any other company links.
The app won't start, it stays at the title screen and that's it. Seems like they turned off their servers and ran since there seems to be no one around anymore.
Good app overall, with some room for desirable features. Would love to be able to have more control over scheduling apps, a better search function, and presets for app "catalogs" I can load and unload at will. Overall I'm satisfied with how it's working for me so far though.
Very easy to use app. 2 suggestions: the ability to disable an app (perhaps via a long-press). And secondly, the ability to set app time as a percentage (e.g. Clock for 40 seconds (66%), Spotify for 10 seconds (17%), CitiBike for 10s seconds (17%). I would also love to eventually see a separate Tidbyt integration/driver for Hubitat smart home device so I could do things like "When Light Switch Turns on, display custom message on Tidbyt".
Look elsewhere, device has fallen apart, no support, no new material to download to the device. Not recommended at all. Don't waste your money.
I would happily change my review if I could connect my Tidbyt to my home network, except it is a hidden network and the Tidbyt setup does not allow me to enter the network info manually. Unless this is addressed, it feels like this purchase was a waste for me.
I wish there is a way to create a priority queue for the screens. For example: if Spotify is playing then, don't display other apps or set fast transition for other apps and keep Spotify running longer. Some kind of IFTTT to display screens based on conditions will be awesome. For now there is only schedule feature. Very excited to test out custom screens.
Love my Tidbyt and the software development team did an awesome job across the board. An amazing app for Android and iOS, a pretty open design in both the hardware and software, and love the work they did getting the units out to us.
Amazing app for the time it took to develop it. There is a bug that needs to be addressed to improve it. The schedule for the night mode works as intended but the individual app schedules do not work the same way. That's the main issue. Also I do wish the night mode allowed me to adjust the brightness level because I find it to be way too dim for my eyes at night. Finally, I would like to see a timer implemented for each individual app instead of an app cycle speed. Thanks for reading 👍
Really frustrating customer experience. None of the weight-related app integrations are working. I bought this to give myself a daily weigh in reminder and visualize my fitness journey, now I have a $200 brick. Not ready for prime time.
I made the stupid choice of clearing the app's cache when my Tidbyt device was not working properly. Now the app won't allow me to sign back in to my account. Edit: NOW MY GEN 1 TIDBYT WONT CONNECT TO MY WIFI ANYMORE!!! It just started happening out of nowhere!!!!! This is stupid and annoying!!
Great app and product! Super easy to set up, just plug it in, download the app and connect to the network; no more than 2 minutes and you're up and running. The app is very user friendly and there are lots of different apps to choose from, as well as community apps being added. I love it!
Excellent app. As a therapist, I would like to be able to disable certain screens on demand and have them reappear. For example, I use 5 screens daily when not with a client, but would like to use only 1 screen when working with a client, to facilitate the implementation of positive cognitions and reinforcement of a belief that I program in the device via a message. Yes, I want to use Tidbyt as a therapy tool. 😀
Randomly found out about the Tidbyt clock online as an ad in my news feed. It looked cool so I decided to try it out. It really is a pretty awesome little device. I needed a good clock for my living room and the slideshow style info it provides is perfect. Highly recommended!
This app is in need of some serious love and attention from the devs. If you have many "apps" it's very difficult and cumbersome to rearrange them. There's no auto-scroll on long-press and drag to easily move the latest app to the top or wherever you'd prefer. "Muted" are still visible in the app inventory which adds to the frustration in arrangement. It'd be nice to see some "group by" options and the ability to hide muted apps without losing their location in the queue.
Very cool, new apps for the device come out frequently so it's worth checking out every so often. I do wish there was a 'only on the weekend' button or even a full compliment of daily check boxes so I could customize what days the apps are active. Do that and it's 5 stars.
I love, love, love this thing. It is what I wished Roku would do with my TV or Portal would put on my countertop -- provide a scroll through the day of information I want. Tidbyt does it, but it is also a stylish manteltop clock of the size I've wanted and can't find. Setup is profoundly simple. Apps are too. Controls are intuitive and simple. GREAT product!!!
It worked for a year. And as soon as Jan 1, 2024 hit. It's just been stuck on the connecting screen. Nothing has changed same house, same wifi. Kinda crazy how I only got a year out of it. I'm also tech savvy and tried a few things to get it to work. reseted it, also went to the site to see if they had any help, but no. I would be the one to get the faulty one.... It's never even been off the shelf since I set it up. People loved it and always asked how to get one. Now I just tell naw don't.
Great app and device! Suggestion: It would be cool if you could save app groups... E.g. maybe "sports" has a number of sports apps set up and then I could easily switch to a different group which has time/calendar/weather apps... So the groups and their settings are saved. Also the ability to wait for longer before switching between apps would be appreciated. But a well-done app!
