★★★★☆ Mitch Smith · Feb 17, 2020

Works well. YouTube's data cannot be accessed. Perhaps you can add the API for YouTube data. Also, Facebook data seems to cut the value down to thousands, can we display the total number instead?

★★★★☆ Cadwyn Brochfael · Feb 19, 2020

Didn't work for me on a Lolin Wemos D1 mini but works like a charm on a Node MCU mini. Wish I could add my own RSS source the newsapi ones are not great. Also weather api keeps showing "London" as city when I have changed the city number. All in all a great easy app for making a useful toy/

★★★★☆ prasanna kumar · Jan 20, 2020

★★★★★ hossein gomar · Dec 15, 2021

Unfortunately this app doesn't work. The Wi-Fi configuration is too complicated. Wi-Fi credential are not transferred to the esp and it cannot connect. It gets back to Ap mode. I double-checked ssid and password. It could be problem with my very long Wi-Fi password is not transmitted correctly by the app. Anyway uninstalled after frustrating time.

★☆☆☆☆ Aristarco Palacios · Sep 30, 2023

After connecting to Internet won't work again, ever. You flash the firmware, tell the nodemon which Wi-Fi net to use, and it connects and gets time and weather from London. The app won't connect to Nodemon ever again. If disconnected from Wi-Fi, you can connect to nodemon but app will always say "Connection error. Try scrolling down to refresh." And that's it. You won't be able to configure it. Never ever. Totally useless unless you live in London. I'm using version 1.11

★★☆☆☆ Hamed Hadian · Sep 8, 2022

Works pretty good but if you have a Wi-Fi password that includes special characters, then you can't connect to it at all, so you will simplify your password then try again. And the fonts are not good There are very usable type of pretty fonts that work on this matrix, and you can take advantage of using those in the next update. Sor far thanks for your time and effort in this amazing app
