Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the drift Meditation Sand Table 11" for its relaxing and mesmerizing patterns. They find the setup process straightforward and appreciate the variety of patterns. However, many customers are frustrated with the buggy and inoperable app, which prevents them from fully utilizing the product's features.

    I bought this as a gift to my kids mother. She has had nothing but trouble getting it to work. Numerous calls to its customer service has produced nothing. It looks great sitting on the desk but does nothing

    The software has been a nightmare from the start, but occasionally I could get it to work and when it did it was very nice. Today I updated the software to version 1.5 (as Homedics recommended) and now it doesn't work at all. It gets stuck on the installation screen where it says "update firmware" and nothing happens after that. This happens on both my iPhone and iPad. I can't imagine software being released in such a state. I'm three days past the return time and don't know what to do with this.

    Didnt work with Android or Apple phone. Didnt connect to phone or WiFi even with 2.4Ghz. Tried Drift and Drift 11 app with updates. Dont buy this. I returned it to Best Buy same day. Homedics is a good brand. Too bad this product doesnt work because the styling design is great.

    Stopped working almost immediately. I have geek squad protection but still need to take the unit in for inspection. I had read other reviews with the same issues i've experienced so should have known better. May change my review once I take it in to Best Buy for warranty protection.

    Out of the box I was surprised at how heavy it was! Setting it up was pretty quick and easy. I downloaded the app (you want the DRIFT 11 one) and setting that up took a few minutes but ultimately I got it to work on my iPhone. The lights really add ambiance to the room, the themes like MidCentury seem the most calming. Watching the designs in action is just so cool. Such a unique techy toy for the adults and the kids are fascinated too.
