Super Useful! Not the TOP choice, but very handy.

So far I’ve had this projector for a few months. I’ve found it EXTREMELY useful since we have all sorts of different rooms in my house, and we like to change locations where we chill for the evening. I use it for displaying my workouts (Ring Fit and Yoga) and occasionally gaming, and on a few circumstances as a monitor for my computer. A few things I would recommend: make sure you have the right lighting. During the daytime, I found that reducing sunlight was best when projecting on a darker painted wall. On a lighter painted wall, I was able to see the image just fine with a room that was lit with afternoon light, but not pouring with bright sunlight. White background is ideal. It also depended on the device I used and what the image contained. Animal Crossing: New Horizons, while playing in the daytime mode in the game and in a darker room, was great. Playing anytime during the nighttime mode was a little tougher to see. Some games that required you to read smaller text, like Don’t Starve, weren’t as successful because certain texts became harder to read on the projector. I’ve used all sorts of different devices via the HDMI connection (even PS2, GameCube, and Wii) and had fun briefly displaying them with success, but haven’t done full gaming experiences with them just yet. I found that overall, displaying bigger text is ideal for the projector. The HDMI connection is the best mode of connection, in my opinion. I tried the AirPlay mode once or twice and both times needed to set up the internet and haven’t done it again since then. As a portable battery and its travel size, I also like it a TON. I've used it on different kinds of tripods as well. When I rated this, I wanted to give more of a 4.5 overall because of its usefulness, its travel size, and...well, it's really cool to have a pocket projector that's the size of my iPhone. However, my standards for picture quality are not as high as others. If you buy, just be aware of what to expect. It works best under certain conditions and with certain images. My boyfriend is a photographer and video editor, so his standards for display quality are VERY high (always wanting to see movies in IMAX or 4K, looking at quality of the picture, etc.), so he would personally not use this projector as much as I do. It had its moments of imperfections, which I think generally are meant for an actual television screen, and those imperfections are forgivable for the other nifty things it's capable of. It's definitely useful in situations where you don't want to lug an entire television down the stairs or to different rooms if you want changes of scenery in the house or need to travel to a different location outside of the house and can't plug into a display of the sort wherever you end up. This purchase will definitely depend on your preferences and how much you think you will end up using the pocket projector. For how often I use it, I think I've made it worth its price.

The Secret Ingredient to Stunning Cookie Designs

I got this projector specifically for cookie decorating, and honestly—it’s been a total game-changer. The image it projects is crisp and clear, which makes tracing even tiny lettering and delicate designs surprisingly easy. I used to dread those ultra-detailed requests from clients, but now? Bring on the fine lines and script fonts! The setup was super intuitive, even for someone who isn’t exactly tech-savvy. I connected it to my phone via AirPlay in minutes, and the included tripod and remote make working hands-free a breeze. No more stopping mid-piping to adjust a dial or wrestle with cords. What I really appreciate is how portable and rechargeable it is. I can move around my workspace without searching for outlets, and the battery life lasts through multiple decorating sessions. Plus, it’s compact enough to store neatly when not in use—doesn’t hog counter space like some bigger models. If cookie decorating is part of your business or just a sweet hobby, this projector is worth the investment. It’s like having a precision assistant right there with you, helping make every cookie flawless.

Excellent quality Image and so portable

We bought this projector in lieu of a TV for our Cottage. We are able to make our parking area into a movie theater for our family and friends - Those images are of the Akaso projector showing a movie on the Wall of the building. The quality is great. One draw back for us - it seems to be more geared for an android type device. We have to use all the cables, HDMI and power to the source as we aren't great planners for power. But once we figured out how to get the picture to hook up - and blue tooth speaker to hook up - it's been smooth sailing! We play Netflix and Disney Plus movies - but we have also used for mirroring our device for photos and such - It's excellent. There are not great instructions for people with limited knowledge. I had to get a tech saavy person to help me. But overall - I am very pleased with this projector - its unbelievable! It's the size of an apple iPhone. - tiny!!! Definitely NEEDS a tripod that's sturdy. This gets a bit unstable with cables plugged in for the tripod it came with.

Portable and useful for art

Great little product. I am an artist and I use this projector to enlarge my sketches for murals and large pieces which saves me a ton of time and extra work. Has a long battery life and it also doubles as a portable charger which is awesome. Have used it to watch youtube videos and other video edits I have made. Easy to set up and use, it does need wifi for wireless with your phone but I just use the cell phone cable for a more reliable experience. It has a built in speaker but I would recommend using it with a bluetooth speaker for maximum quality. The only gripe I have is when the projector is pointed straight up to project on the ceiling it has an automatic angle adjustment so it has trouble projecting on a surface while pointing straight up, but honestly its not a deal breaker. hell if I am that lazy to not sit up in bed while trying to watch videos projected from my phone, I should just go to sleep. Great buy for the price. you will enjoy.
