Communication has been sparse at best, including replies to my questions or any kind of updates about project status.

Nice product bought through crowdfunding but end cost including shipping was very disappointing. Would not have bought it if all costs were known.

Having to remember all the different button pressing patterns, and what terms like "3 seconds" really is. I can only get white light and red. Play around a bit and I can change the brightness of white only. With the red blinking, I can't control the brightness or speed and it cuts out quickly. I thought this would be the successor to BlinkO (I have 2, but they both refuse to work now). I thought I could use it like that, put it on and have it blinking so it can be clipped to the back of my shirt so I'm seen from behind, or wear in front so I can tell someone looking for me in a crowd "look for the blinking red light", but the blinking shuts off after a few seconds. As to charging, brightly lighting up the whole ring and blinking progress by segment seems to me to slow down charging when you use power to light up the whole thing. You seriously couldn't add a tiny button to click thru the colors? I shouldn't have to carry a cheat sheet telling the switch presses to make to get low white or blinking red (I never got red to do anything but blink bright red for a few seconds; no changes in brightness, no rotating, no solid. The warm whites never worked.) On the positive, the magnetic clip is far superior to the regular clip on BlinkO. And the bright white is indeed very bright. I can clip it to the front of my jacket to light up what I want and have both hands free, and it stays on until I choose to stop it or the battery drains. And that you recharge via USB-C is a great move, no I don't need to have a bunch of "coin" batteries. Admittedly, in time the battery will fail (is that what happened to my BlinkOs?) but until that happens, it can be incredibly useful. And that's why I gave it 3 out of 5. It has great potential, but the issues leave it wanting and not able to do what the instructions say it can do. At some point you should consider making SparkO.2, and address these issues. Overall, it's useful and I appreciate the work they have put into it. I will certainly use it as a light clipped to my shirt pocket, but disappointed I can't use the red blinker as I thought I could.
