Great idea, but...

I was looking for a simple silent indicator light for calls and text for work and playing games with a headset but unfortunately for me it was unreliable. I was able to pair with the device and enter the app however I have a few key issues. Firstly I tried to remove all the notifications for thirdparty apps. When I tried to remove them all at one time it sent the app into perpetual updating. When I closed it all out and tried one at a time I was able to remove all of them except for the last one (regardless of what order I removed them) before it went back to never ending syncing.

I also created a custom icon which saved, but never update the thumbnail. It showed the original thumbnail with my custom image but yet the original is what displayed when used. Lastly, and most importantly the notification was unreliable, even at extremely close distance. Texts would work correctly, then would only show the 5 second flash but then not leave on the lasting indicator, or it wouldn't show to 5 second flashing and just show the lasting indicator, or the lasting indicator would stay on after I had read the messages. I had to return this and go with a similar product that was slightly more expensive but had a speaker as well.

Fun toy with phone notifications!

This concept is a pretty cool one. I usually leave my phone on silent at work and people get annoyed when I don't realize they called or texted. So when I saw this, I thought I'd be able to resolve that with this. Honestly though, I work in IT and I just thought it would be fun to play with and no one else had one haha. There are a lot of options you can pick from or create yourself. Even animation!! (You had me with that Pikachu)

Basically it's a light pixel box that lets you know of several different notifications on your phone. They added some fun features like a dice game, clock and battery status. You can apparently stack up to four together, but maybe more, for a bigger play area. Is this a necessity, no, but it is definitely pretty cool.

The only part I didn't like, was that they limit you on how many additional notification types you can add on top of the set standard. I'm sure this is due to memory allocation, but I would have liked a few more as I don't really have a million on my phone.

A Fun and Silly Gadget!
by John William (5 out of 5 stars)

Witti Design's DOTTI makes me nostalgic for the Lite-Brite set I played with as a kid, except that I won't keep finding stray pegs in every little nook and cranny around my place.

While its app comes with some pre-set pictures, it's much more entertaining to create your own. There's far too much fun to be had seeing what you can create with 64 pixels, a full color spectrum and 8 savable picture slots.

The animation feature is my favorite one. You can use those eight slots and a rotational speed bar to make some ridiculous things. So far, I've made an animation of a beer mug filling up and another one of fireworks shooting off and exploding. It's all pretty silly and fun.

You can also set it up to alert you to notifications on your phone too, like with a text or a voicemail. Although I didn't really care about this feature when I bought the product, I've found it useful on the occasion when I miss my phone's ring because my of janky cell service provider.

The game mode comes pre-loaded with dice and randomly generates a number when you shake it. You can change those six slots, so I suppose you make a random generator out of it if that's your thing.

The music mode projects various audio levels dancing up and down if you play music stored on your phone. My only gripe (and it's relatively a small one) is that it only works with the music on your phone, so Internet radio is a no-go. It's hopefully something Witti can fix with a future update to the app.

I should also say that I have yet to experience any problems with the app draining my battery, (like another reviewer mentioned) but I've paired my DOTTI with an iPhone, so that could either be a non-Apple problem or an isolated incident.

I bought this for its frivolity and am so far happy with my purchase. It's certainly not going to set the world on fire, but is a fun gadget nonetheless. If you like silly little electronic gadgets, then I would recommend this one for you.

Cute but overpriced for what it does.

This is a neat little toy that I use to compliment my desk when recording Youtube reviews. You pair it with the Dotti App on either IOS or Android and through it you have the option to run it with a stationary pixel image or a moving GIF of sorts. It is a neat accessory if you can get it around $20. If you have to pay more for it than I can't say I agree that it is worth that value. The notification aspect of this is pretty useless as it literally just flashes the icon of a limited selection of available apps that are compatible like Facebook and Twitter. It doesn't have the capabilities to display the actual notification so don't expect that functionality. Battery life on this is pretty good however as it will stay on for longer than your average smartphone before needing to be charged through a micro usb port. So ultimately if you are looking at this, you obviously have a certain idea what you would use this for. If you are a desk warrior who loves having unique items for a clean setup, than this might not be the worst thing. However for general consumers hoping this will be an ultimate desk top notification system, I would steer away.

Never consistently worked from the start. I tried resetting it several times. In general it would work correctly for a while then do odd things. Change the display, go completely black, not respond to the touch or motion sensor.

As far as fun gadgets that pair well with your iPhone this one was a great purchase! Although it may appear intimidating, the DOTTI was easy to use and very user friendly. It gives you the ability to use the animation features to create fun, random animations and again, you don't have to be super tech savvy to use all the features. The app also allows you to download and store art or any animations you create. Additionally, for someone who doesn't always have their phone on them, it alerts you when you have missed a call, have a text message or for those Instagrammers, when a comment has been left on that last picture of your dinner you posted

I appreciate this fun gadget and its ability to allow the user to get creative. I would absolutely recommend this purchase!

If they would cut the "limit" on alerts that this thing could display it would be perfect.

Not as functional as I hoped, but still functional. If they would cut the "limit" on alerts that this thing could display it would be perfect.

Great little device, fun to use and useful but I wouldn't spend more than 30-40 bucks on it.
