App Profile: Sisyphus App

Rating: 4/5

I wouldn’t let the reviews tarnish your first impression of this excellent piece of hardware - AND excellent framework of a developing software platform. It did take some persistence to get everything properly connected, but I had firmware updated and full RGB scenes running in 20 minutes. The table makes designs from the moment you add the sand, ball, and power it up. Once you get connected - add the RGB colors and start to play with scenes and SPEED - wow just the first few I tried blew me away! Felt like controlling an RC car around a desert track as the full moon set, it’s easy to get engrossed with this experience. The initial app experience was a bit slow, (be patient with text entry fields - tap once and wait a second for the field to become active before mashing the buttons.) but that’s always the clunky part of app development and I’m sure they’re working on it. Once you’re set up it’s hard not to be impressed with the breadth of control and functionality available. As a Kickstarter backer I appreciate a heroic effort from a great team, and with constructive feedback I’m sure this experience will continue to evolve.

The table is fantastic and I love it but the app could use some work. Custom table designs could be better. Biggest complaint is that the app pauses the table after a playlist completes or all of the tracks have been run if I just start playing all the downloaded tracks. Would expect them to start over from the beginning or reshuffle the playlist but instead I need to hit start every couple of days.

I have had a Sisyphus since the first kickstarter, they have come a vary long way and added a lot of great features. They seem to always be working on updates and staying on top of any bugs that pop up. The app is easy to use and feels similar to a music app meaning even my older parents can figure it out!
