Sometimes when releasing this stuff you don’t know what to expect. The fact that David is even taking the time to do this now is awesome. Appreciated for sure.

It would be nice to know which points were made clearer so I don't have to spend 2 1/2 hrs to go through the whole thing again. Please. I do have one problem which I will ask tomorrow.

The PDF was also updated with a Troubleshooting section on p.16 so your one question may already be answered there.

If you have a specific problem, I would advise going to that section of the 45 min setup video.

Hopefully he'll release a version where we can use flip phones (I'm an old head)

I got this yesterday, it did take a bit of time to install and adjust everything, but nothing difficult, more just tedious, and you have to meticulously follow along with what David shows in the set-up video. But it is a one time set-up. I'm not too familiar with shortcuts, so at first really didn't understand the ins and outs of it all, but as I worked through the set-up, it all started to gel in that mushy brain of mine and make sense. But again, it's a one time setup and once it was done, I've had a chance to play with a couple of the routines, and have to say it's all so devious, simple and easy to do. Really happy with it!! Plus, for the minor issues I did have during set-up, I posted my problems on the Facebook page and within minutes, David came to the rescue. He provides excellent customer service. Super happy with my purchase and looking forward to trying it all out on real human beings!!

Just a heads up - since this works in any language, we also added the tutorials on a private YouTube playlist so you can turn on auto-translated subtitles and learn in your own native language. Oh and this was posted today which shares a lot insight into Black Mirror Project!

I've given up on this as a total waste of my money. I've spent 4 hours in set-up, and still only 2/3 way through. Half of it might work, but I'm sure half of it won't. Just hope I can get my phone back to normal. This is why buying an App is the always going to be the best way - I feel I've almost built one myself.

DJ literally walks you through it. It’s pretty easy to follow if you watch his video from the beginning with phone in hand.

It might be easy but I would appreciate if you can confirm if it does it take 4+ hours to set up the phone following his instructions? If not, please state approximately how long it took you to completely and properly set up your phone. I am curious how long this set up can take.
Thank you.

4+ hours? I'm very sorry you had that experience, but that is really excessive compared to the Black Mirror users I have talked to. I understand and expect that you will need to pause and rewind occasionally during the setup video, but I literally setup a phone from scratch, in real time, in 45 minutes on the video in a do-as-i-do format. So you just follow what I do on the screen with your phone in hand as I walk you through it. And please keep in mind you are setting up SEVEN effects, including multiple variations of each, in that timespan. If you only wanted to setup the Lotto routine, for example, that can be done in 5 minutes.

I've mentioned you should be comfortable navigating your way around your phone, but you do not need to have any technical experience to set this up.

Thank you very much David for your reply and information. I look forward in ordering and using Black Mirror. I have many if your effects and they are all excellent and practical.

Yes - right now we have tickets for US, UK and Ireland with more being created in the Facebook group. Some users are already using the provided instructions to make their own as well.

I am very comfortable navigating around the phone, but as you yourself say on the video, it uses a function (Shortcuts) that very few people know about. It does so intensely moreover. I can assure you it has taken 4 frustrating hours - I look forward to further feedback from the Black Mirror Users that you have talked to. Sorry, David, but your 45 minute set up is straight through by somebody who designed the whole thing, so really isn't relevant.

Can I delete all these shortcuts that I have half done and start again with just one?
