5/5Not sure of it's just me?
Great app, love the idea. It's constantly crashing for me though. I can't save a phrase or delete the preset without it crashing. I've tried restarting but to no avail. I'm hoping this wasn't a waste of 1.99........

5/5This is the one.
I play guitar in 3 bands and I need this in crowded clubs. I've tried all the other apps like this and this one is by far the best! Finally it's fast to use and you can see it ACROSS THE ROOM. I used it on stage last weekend and the audience finally could read it. The sound engineer downloaded it the minute he saw mine. Make sure you have a protective case though cos the ladies all wanted to play with it;) Excellent job!

5/5Totally awesome! How did I live without it.
Just what you expect from a great app - came up and worked just like described. The novelty factor of calling a waiter over using your iPhone is worth the price of admission. I'm going to be using this app *a lot*.

5/5This is super cool!
I love this app! It is really easy to use - I love the way it just takes a flick of the wrist! Ok - maybe it is a twist of the hand - but it works! And it is fun to keep track of what you are saying - I text a bunch and this follows a format I am use to. The letters are clear and easy to read- and the vibe at the end of the text let's me know I am done. Yea, this one is good - easy to use - works well and fun. I checked out the website for the heynow - they know their stuff!

4/5Easy to use
I think this is an easy to use scrolling-banner app. You can enter a new message (or choose a saved one) right from the first screen. It did take a little while to figure out how to save a new message as a preset (it's the "+" sign next to the text box). And starting the message-scrolling is as simple as tilting the phone on its side. This seems more intuitive than some of the other banner apps. I also like that it buzzes/vibrates when the message has finished, so it's easy to tell when to stop holding up the phone. I like the icon, too. :)
