Missing some features that would have made it great
935682
This pedal is missing two things. Two additional knobs, one for volume and one for decay. TC Electronic makes excellent products, I have a ditto looper and love it, but for me this one was a whiff. I plugged it in and the default reverb had way too much decay and if there had been a knob there to deal with that I would still have the pedal and probably have been quite content with it. TC Electronic saw fit to put three knobs on their delay and chorus nano pedals but not this one and it hurt the end result. Beyond the pedal being limited because of needing additional controls it was even more inhibited by the software designed to run it. Firstly the tone print app is a little misleading, I thought with this app I would be able to see a readout of the controls of the full size pedal and adjust the levels and beam it to the pedal and while a little cumbersome, still doable. Unfortunately all tone print gives you is presets designed by other artists or TC Electronic. In order to craft your own sound you must download tone print editor. And Surprise, if you have an android, there is no app and you must do all tweaks on your computer. Now again all this would have been tolerable if the user interface on the tone print editor was somewhat user friendly, well, it isn't. It looks like controls a sound engineer would use, not a guitarist looking to bleed off a bit of decay from a reverb pedal. A UI with 4 knobs that looked like the full size hall of fame pedal would have been the way to go but that is not what is provided. The mistake was partially mine for not downloading this software before i bought the pedal to check it out first. It is free and I should have investigated, but that being said, this pedal and the software could use a subtle redesign and I think it could really be a great piece of equipment. But in its current form I feel it missed the mark. Giving it a 3 because it is well made and works as intended but they way it is intended to work is not all that intuitive or practical for a gigging musician. My advice, save your money and buy the full feature Hall of Fame Reverb.

Olympus recorders are very User Friendly.  Largely intuitive as to how to utilize.  How great!
  This unit would be perfect, 5 stars, but for the lack of a couple of features important to me.  (I mostly use it to record live music.)
  1.  The built-in speaker, Playback, sound-Quality is a letdown.  Maybe if it was bigger, as in their DP-10 model, that would be one way to solve.
  Meanwhile, you can use headphones.  Thereby, the sound improves to excellent.
  2.  The other input jack on top is there, to provide for an Alternate microphone.  So, one could record a higher quality signal (although no major complaints about what're built-in).  The problem with changing to an outside mic is that you thereby Lose Stereo imaging.
  Your built-in stereo mics would be by-passed for a Mono mic.  That's all the unit's receptacle will accommodate.
  Otherwise, the WS-821 is excellent, including as to an USB plug for copying data into computer; 500 hour recording capacity; and speed variation playback (without affecting pitch!)
  Its compactness is a marvel, too.  Battery life (one AAA) is workably sufficient.  Display screen is alright.
  And, many more features may be accessed, e.g. variations in recording quality, recording onset promptness, etc., all depending upon your particular needs.

This product has potential but the product managers missed two obvious features that this product that make it frustrating to use.  First, there is no "no action" power off timer.  This is a very nice feature that most modern TVs have.  But, if your TV's "no action" timer times out, it will turn off, and then be out of sync with the logitech hub which thinks the TV and current activity is still powered on.  Anyone whose every used universal remotes in the past knows what a pain being out of sync is.  This problem exists with all of Logitech Hub productions, even the expensive Elite.  This leaves the user with needing to manually set the sleep timer each night (for those of us who need the TV on to go to sleep).

Second, this remote has no backlights, so it is worthless in a dark or dimly lit room.  Silly.

Those in charge of deciding on the functionality of this product should be fired.  There is customer feedback on their forum that is years old informing them of the need for the "no action" timeout issue, but they've simply ignored this obvious feature.  Just another case of lack of competition causing lack of innovation.

I wanted to like this, but there were some nitpicks that I ended up feeling weren't worth it. One thing was the fact that the alarm clock could only wake up to a tone - seems that since it had the ability to connect to webradio and music, that you should be able to wake to one of those. Another thing that was annoying was that when the power goes out, when power was restored, the webradio would turn on and start playing - this happened twice while we had it; during the middle of the night, this would be truly annoying. It also seems to want to default to military time. The sound was ok - loud, lacked definition at the high-end.

At the end of the day the device felt like a 1.0 version of a product that would be really good at 2.0. If price is you're number one factor, then go with it - a number of these issues might be fixable via firmware. You'd be hard-pressed to find an Airplay compatible speaker at twice the price. I ended up returning this and going with a Yamaha Musiccast speaker which was more than twice the price - but a good bit more refined.

Pros: Number of connectivity options (Wifi, Airplay, Bluetooth); Price, Alarm clock
Cons: Seems like a 1.0 product, high-end sound could be more defined

I am sad, as this blu ray release was a real opportunity to honor this great tale.
First, there is no widescreen. Not sure why this didn't happen, but it was first thing I noticed
Then, some of the features on the box are nowhere to be found on the discs... the menu options are so limited, i am thinking it is the same as the dvd, just now on blu ray.
But the one big feature I was hoping for was the inclusion of the "notes" that they did one year... they were supplements to the world that Team Avatar lives in. For example, background stories on characters, or explaining behaviors of creatures and animals. I really thought you would be able to select that as a viewing option, like a directors commentary, and they were done in a pop-up fashion. For me it was as good as done, because it added sooo much depth. I'm actually sad, I was so excited for this release, but meh is all I got. I may sell this and keep pestering the production company to make it worth it next time.

Pros: Fantastic lighting effect that i've found myself using every night.
Fully silent.

Cons/Considerations: Not a fully smooth movement--tends to hitch slightly at a spot.
No ability to adjust brightness, which is sad, because i love certain colors, but i wanted a dimmer version of each.
The automatic shut off is not editable, so if you'd like it to be on longer than the amount programmed, you'll be out of luck.

Overall: Very relaxing, very beautiful, regardless of the flaws. Lots of improvement needed to really be a great product, including brightness and automatic shut off adjustment options.

So much potential but I feel as if they cut corners. They should've allowed more "self initiation" on the "smart" part of the watch. Would be nice to be able to read through messages without having to get a notification first. Also you can't initiate a phone call. The quick response does not work with Verizon message+ you can only view the message which leads me to believe it only works with the Samsung message app. Can be temperamental at times but it definitely handles the fitness tracking part.

sigh......This could be so much better if Samsung had just invested some time into the apps. The watch itself is very nice and comfortable. The screen is quite vivid and can be even read outside in the sun. The o.s. runs smooth and fast, I haven't noticed any lag. The tv remote control is ok for adjusting the volume and muting. Other I.R. commands were a bit clumsy, so I'll stick with the cable remote for now. The media control is quite handy but more on that later. Notifications are a hit and miss, more on that later. Surprisingly, answering a phone call is really good and quite helpful. I've answered several calls while working 35 feet of the ground and all the calls were clear on both ends. No more scrambling for a phone buried in my pocket under a fall prevention harness is a life saver. Now for the bad. The apps are pretty much non existent. There's maybe 40 apps and most are watch faces. The apps are also very disappointing. The media controller lets you control volume, play, pause, stop and skip but it doesn't show you any info of what song is playing or any info at all. It's like an Apple Shuffle rather than an Apple Nano. Call notifications and text message notifications are great, but other notifications are titles only. Also deleting notifications needs a better clear all option than the several steps that are in place now. It's a bit cumbersome to check each tiny box while scrolling a tiny screen, hit the trash can when you have more than a couple of messages. A simple check all button? It's these little annoyances and lack of apps that frustrate the heck out of me. The pedometer and heart monitor are great, but the app lacks calorie and water intake. Why? Did they even look at the Fitbit, Nike fuel, jawbone, etc. etc. software that is out there?  This isn't Samsung first attempt at a smartwatch, but you wouldn't know that from this one.

I purchased this treadmill in January, 2016 and have been using it for 6 weeks.  I have owned a prior Precor model treadmill for almost 10 years, and have used many different treadmills at hotels and health clubs over the years.  Although I think this treadmill is very sturdy and well constructed, I am very disappointed in the lack of features and options available on the console.  They actually seem to have fewer features on this newer, more expensive model than what they offered 10 years ago.  They advertise 23 preset and 16 custom workouts available, but make sure you understand what they mean.  The 23 preset workouts are primarily different hill profiles - nice for walking, but a real challenge for running hard.  They have a couple of interval programs, but the ratios are preset, and you cannot customize that.  The custom workouts are 4 per user with up to 4 users.  If only one person uses the treadmill, they can be all 4 users and would technically have all 16 workouts.  Just keep in mind that a custom workout is simply a workout you must run first and then save.  Once you have saved the workout, you can replay the workout, and it will repeat the same hills and speeds that you ran in your prior saved workout.  So what are they missing?  Let's say you know exactly what you want to run.  You want to increase your speed by .1 MPH ever 5 minutes, or you want to run a hill for 3 minutes, take a 4 minute break, then run a hill for 2 minutes, then take a 5 minute break, etc., you need to do that all manually.  They don't let you program a custom workout in advance.  You can run it once and record it and then repeat it, but you cannot just walk up to the treadmill, know what you want to do, and preprogram it.  Even their interval workouts are weak in this regard.  You have 3 interval workouts to choose from, but you cannot create your own custom ratio, you must use one of theirs.  If you want to run 3 minutes hard and then 3 minutes easy and repeat that cycle - you can't program it - you have to do it manually.  Do you really want to own the most expensive treadmill out there and have to do this manually?  One of the silliest things in that you are expected to preselect the amount of time you will use the treadmill,  You can only select up to 2 hours.  If you want to select more than 2, you must let the treadmill stop at 2 hours and then restart it.  This might not be a factor since most workouts are less than 2 hours, but why have such a limit in the first place.  For distance workouts, you have 3 choices:  1 mile, 5K or 10K.  If you want to run 5 miles and have it stop, I guess maybe you should select 10K and manually stop it when you get to 5 miles.  Why can't they just let you choose any distance you want like other treadmills allow you to do?  I really like the construction and feel of the treadmill, but really hate the lack of features on the console for a top of the line price treadmill.  I find my myself using the manual controls to change my pace and hill profile as needed, even though I generally know exactly what I want to do before I start running.  I would recommend buying a lower level model of this treadmill or another brand that has better console features.  I wish I would have known the short-comings before I purchased this treadmill.

First, let's get the good stuff out of the way... this boombox sounds reasonably good (well, better than expected at least).  It looks kinda neat (my wife hates it though), has a remote, doesn't waste space with an old-fashioned cassette player, and has a GREAT dot matrix display to communicate with you.
I was thrilled that I had found such a perfect machine.  That is, until I discovered a blatant feature omission... it will not do shuffle (random) play on MP3 CD's.  This is absolutely unforgiveable.
Also, it occasionally "skips" while playing MP3 tracks, but this is only a minor annoyance.
In summary, I'm disgusted that a unit possessing such well thought-out features as the thorough LCD display is lacking something as basic and essential (in my opinion) as random play.  If it did have this feature, it would have gotten a solid 4 stars by me (5 if they could get rid of the skipping problem).
RCA's product designers made a big blunder here, and I will most likely return the unit because if it.

Great phone. Lots of neat features. The camera function is lacking though.

The graphics on this puppy are definitely upgraded from the 360, but 5 months after it's release, there are only a couple of games that are good on it.  I'm hoping that more great games will be coming later in the year.  Also, the voice control gets a C-.  It fails to capture what I'm saying accurately too many times.  The hand gestures are way off.  It fails to make a proper network connection (when other devices on my network have no issues).  Some of included Apps lack features and/or is buggy.  The TV capability is good, but lacks enough functionality to make it great.

Has a lot of good features, but certain aspects could have been designed better for usability. For example, the menu select, cell, off/clear, line 1, and line 2 buttons are all clustered together and are too easy to get mixed up unless you are looking at it closely in a well-lighted room.  The charging base for the remote handset is lightweight and unstable, so that if bumped only slightly the phone tips over, and when not weighted down by the handset the base station is easily pulled away by the weight of the cord. The base station can't be wall mounted, and the wireless signal does not reach to a handset in the farthest areas of my house (this was not a problem with my previous Panasonic cordless phone).

The phone has several advantages. The Bluetooth link with my cellular phone is very useful, allowing me to make long distance calls using my cell phone service, and also letting me answer an incoming cell phone call from any phone extension, as long as the extension is within Bluetooth range of the cell phone. The sound is clear (unlike my previous Panasonic 2-line cordless phone with which the other party was always complaining that they couldn't hear me), and there is a button for adjusting the bass or treble audio to suit the user's hearing; speaker phone is good. The handsets are comfortable to hold, and the cordless handsets have a belt clip.

The Amazon Cloud Cam was easy to setup and get working. It provides sound and a good picture.
However, there are several features missing:
- There is no PC support;
- Only one device can be connected at a time and the slow pairing (3-5 minutes) makes it inconvenient to switch devices.
- Alexa interface requires that you have an Android/Apple smartphone.
- After the camera is viewing it's target on a 8" Kindle tablet, there's seems to be now way to return to the setup screen.
-There's now way to turn off the active light on the camera when darkness is wanted.
For less than half the price of the Cloud Cam, you can get the Wansview camera on Amazon. This camera uses WiFi and works on windows and Mac desktops and on multiple devices simultaneously with none of the above problems.

This feels like an unfinished product for several reasons. The first is that the instruction manual is fairly useless. Second, the in-camera menus are problematic and not designed well at all. That said, the video functions and still images captured by the camera are excellent. I wish the rest of the design had far more polish. Overall this feels like an unpolished device that would really benefit from a few more rounds of tweaking the User Interface (UI).

For the price, I expected a more polished product.

I spent a lot of money on this and it has a lot of flaws, but it also has some great features.

Like:
* Every one of my devices I have it knows about, and has detailed configurations for
* It has a nice "programming" interface that almost anyone can use.  You drag and drop actions into a sequence for each of your desired functions like "Watch TV"
* It has long battery life and is rechargable
* It wakes up when it detects it's been picked up

Dislike:
* Programming interface forces you to start with a base set of commands for some actions and you cannot add pauses between them.  My devices need pauses so I had to do some wonky workarounds to get the devices sequences to work as required.
* It assumes you are always starting from a specific state: e.g. all devices are powered off.  If one of your devices is on, then when it sends the power signal the device turns off instead of on, and then you are in a funky state and you have to send your devices a command to power everything off, manually toggle that one device and then start all over again.
* DON'T change the settings of a device without using the Harmony remote or again you will get into a wonky state and it gets confused, because it only knows the last state it told each device to be in.
* I know how to work around these idiosyncrasies, but it confuses anyone else trying to use it and frustrates the daylights out of my wife.

I can rave all day long about the quality of Onkyo and the feature list of this receiver, but I'll leave that to the past reviewers.  Let's just say I've always loved Onkyo and their features and quality are generally second to none.

I'd really like to give this 4.5 stars with 1/2 star being lost to a mild disappointment.  I was really hoping that Internet radio listening would be almost as seamless as regular radio station listening.  That is, it would have been very cool to select various Internet stations, from Pandora, Spotify, vTuner, etc. and assign them preset channels and just flip to them via the regular tuner functionality.  Well, that's not there.  So, you're forced to traverse through a layer of menus to get to your favorite stations.  This also makes setting up integrated remotes like the Logitech harmony a bit more of a complicated process.

I've only had the product for a few days now, so my experience is still at a minimum, but otherwise I'm liking what I'm experiencing!
