I would NOT buy this item! You have to have an iPhone app for it to work - and the app is not available anywhere. Which makes this thing totally useless. The only thing that shows up is the screen showing the ipico brand name. You can't view anything else. I can't stress enough - don't buy this one!

The only application that works with this product is Photo Roll. Make a slide show out of one of your photo collections. Then it will display the photos based on the time between slides.

If you have the app it could. But the app is not available at this time which makes it useless! �

I'm not sure how long the battery last. I used it at home in a semi lit room and it worked fine but at school in a lit room I couldn't see anything...I had to download a free app that projected out on my phone. The app I used is called slide shark

I have only used it a couple times, but with normal lighting, it works just fine. At our church's school, they use the same projector. I have used this once to present a Civil War picture program and in a very well lit restaurant situation, again, it performed very well. I don't believe that you will be displeased with it in any kind of lighting situation.

It would work. I like this timer because it is visible and gives the kids warnings via sound and light. It is small and light and colorful. I purchased this because the free online timers do not work with the power point presentations I have on my board, so I needed another way to time the class so we finish the lesson. When i bought it, I did not have an ipad, but that is also another option- you can download a free timer (some of them are pretty cool) on your ipad or use your cellphone. I was limited with the options that I had in the classroom. I do like this product, and it does its job. It would work.

I've used it to project some Youtube videos and also play a DVD from my laptop DVD player. It isn't perfect for showing movies because it isn't the brighest of projectors and it doesn't keep up with fast motion as in an action movie. I'd say that it is good enough to show a video clip or play a movie but it isn't going to be top quality home theater video. If the room is fairly dark it would probably look OK.

Every type of projector come with instructions on how much hours it will last. I have used my nightly for about 2-3hrs for a given period of three months and have not had a single problem even unto this day. But I do suggest also that when using place it on a surge protector. I don't know how current fluctuate by you but it is a safe bet, than any rise or fall in electricity you can protect your investment. Hope this helps

My experience has been it projects about 4-5 feet wide before the image is too light to read words on a PowerPoint in a dimmed room. This is with the projector maybe 6 feet from the surface it's projecting on (there's no zoom adjustment). The projector is small and very portable, which is great, but is not very bright.

I got mine before the price went up. I used it for presentations in training classes. It has a great pointer and if you use PowerPoint you can black out the main screen and make changes for the next presentation instead of keeping the screen live so everyone can see what you are doing on your computer. I remove my batteries after every use. It's a great remote to have.

For nighttime it is fantastic, we bought a 10' collapsible screen and use it (tied to a bigger audio system) for screen-on-the-green presentations. It throws a great image even at that size. I do t know if I would use it during daylight hours.

I use it and generally it works well. Depends on the LED unit size. You may have to play with it. I use it for oral interviews.

Yeah. Should be ok. But for better n brightness classroom need to be dark. U may not like it in a brighter room with open windows door.

Yes/No. You need the lights fairly dim to get a good result from this thing, and if the projector is far from it's screen getting the sharpness narrowed in for text can be tricky. It'll work in a pinch, but a large well lit room would not be good.

This unit is excellent as a classroom projector. It performs very well in a fully lit room, and of of course much better in a darkened room. Images are crisp, bright and excellent saturation. My classroom setup is U-shaped (tables around the edges) and my projector sits in the middle approximately 10-15 feet from the screen. This setup works well for me with excellent visual results. Hope this helps . . . bgs.

Yes! However if it starts "clicking" a lot your class is in for more "excitement" than the ever bargained for. Look for a bright flash in the distance first. Then tons of clicking. Then Jesus. :)

Dim lights. It works fine in my living room, circa 150 square feet, with one 100-watt bulb. The image was barely visible in my Sunday school classroom with a ceiling full of flourescent lights on. I had to turn the lights off and let the room just be lit by light coming in the windows. So no, I don't recommend it for use in a brightly-lit room. This projector appears to be intended to watch movies with lights out or dim more than to make business/classroom presentations. It's usable if you can dim the lights or turn them off, but not ideal.

Please let me know what you think of it once you've tried it out. (It's encouraging to hear Tony used it.) Also, I'd like to know what equipment I need to use in conjunction- I don't have my own smartboard in my classroom and I'm not sure if I can borrow one long-term! But if I can just hook it up to my computer and project it on a screen, I think I'm good to go! -I look forward to hearing from you!

I found that this projector was very much brighter than others I have used. I didn't try it in a well lit classroom, so I can't say for sure about your situation but if you have a good reflective screen I think it should be good. At least it is the best I have seen.

When referencing thousands of slides, the surface area of this light box is just too small (for any reasonable speed anyway.) Also, light fall off away from the bulb is too much for critical reviewing. BUT, for just putting slides on the unit and "quickly" looking for 1st pass "go, no go" analysis, it can suffice. You must keep the box fairly level to keep slides from falling off the box. Another positive is tha light box is relatively inexpensive. Also you'll be well served using a magnifying glass!! Have fun!
