dboom ditto at tries to be all things in one location to the point where you can actually
get very confused as to what you're looking at when you're navigating this app so it's kind
of the feeling that i get for the ditto itself where it's trying to be all things to all people
what we're looking at right here is the new pixel deviation page think of it this way
when you first start this up it's letting you know hey these are artists and their designs
that you can have show up on your ditto or other devoom products so it it right now is showing
new but notice at the top here we have galleria expert and groups if we scroll over there are
different areas right now we are on the newest we can go over to follow if we were following anybody
we can come over to a particular stylization which this case is love this is recommended based on
things that you've looked at and or have added to your favorites skip over to characters where
you can search for particular characters there is a search up there we'll get to that in a second
seasons emojis patterns i mean it's it's limitless the amount of things that you can scroll through
if you're like me and you're not really an artist you can use other people's stuff on your d-boom
what we're going to do is come over to expert and here this will show you particular members
of the pixel art community and things that they have done if you notice there's favorites and
how many people have viewed it if you click on that you can send it to your ditto as well as
you can add this person as somebody you'd like to follow there's just there's a lot going on in here
come over to groups right there you've got some groupings and we can come over to search here
you can see specific searches that i was running i do wish that these would actually kind of clear
themselves out as you go along but if we come over to star wars and you saw i searched star wars
several times you get everything pixel art related to star wars which is really cool and you know you
can come over to users and then you see top users for the word star wars we're going to go back
so that was the search function like i said that was this page which it brings us to automatically
and that is the landing page down here you can if we hit the plus sign create your own you can
either do an animation a design or text editor if i select design you can draw your own pixel art
and like i said i am not terribly uh savvy when it comes to artistry in any way shape or form
uh you can scan your own you pretty much you know if i come over here i say i could do camera or i
could do the pixar community so if you have something that you'd like to take a picture
of and try and make it into some sort of art you could it's not going to look the greatest
because again it's pixel art depending on the size dimensions and colorations of it you can then save
this or save it to your sd card there's lots of functionality here like i said it's trying to be
all things to everyone we are going to come over to the right which is our messages and this is not
messages for your phone being pushed off to the d boom this is messages as part of the devoon pixel
art community so you can see here i haven't done anything so i do not have any people who likes me
i don't have any people who have sent me comments and i also do not have any followers that's not
bad i just don't do that because i'm not artistic in that fashion up here you got your three dots
you can turn off anything that you don't want to see last but not least on the right-hand side we
come over to me and this is your d-boom pixel art page you can get a bunch of medals for doing lots
of different things i'm not going to go through that because well i'm not using the d boom in
that fashion however you will notice that you can see lights tickets this is a weird this one
here it's like a almost gambly like every every couple of days you can come in here
and get points and those points can be used because here you can see that went up to purchase
other devoom products using spins that you get from there the reason that i bring you to this
page in particular not to show you the local gallery your uploads or your favorites but
this is one location where you can add more devoom devices you can see your devices listed there if
i was connected to the ditto right now you would see that right there but if you are connected to
your ditto and you come down to device settings here's a lot of information that i wish i knew
about ahead of time and didn't have to dig through all those menus to try and find you can set your
clock display to 24 hours display song titles or anything that's coming across so in my case when
i'm listening to podcasts when you first start up it will scroll the title across the front of the
d boom shake shake to adjust brightness and hit or miss if that actually works uh so this will change
the brightness when not in use energy saver mode will automatically hibernate if no activity is
detected for five minutes this is the one that i really care about which is the change from celsius
to fahrenheit remember power on volume this this is very important because if you have your d-boom
volume low and you power it back on it's going to go back to the default volume which tends to be
very very high and can be a little startling we'll say startup logo you can manipulate the startup
logo right there so if you don't like the one that starts up when you first start your devoom you can
change that right there notification startup power off and connection sound you can change that light
intensity so how bright is your d boom when it first turns on and off you can slide that around
and then auto power off you can do 30 an hour three hours six hours 12 hours or never by default
it is on never but that is where you find the settings to really manipulate change the way that
the ditto functions and i really wish i knew where that was originally up here in the corner this is
your account information not gonna be going into that and we're gonna come back to the box in the
middle because that's where you start things off next we're gonna go to the left which are things
that actually involve the ditto itself here we go i have the ditto in frame and if i select
channels this allows me to change change the look and feel of particular screens here the first one
being a clock so if i don't like the look of this one i can change that and you see it's reflected
over there you can change the colors this also has a rotating screen of weather temperature and
a calendar let me tell you this is the screen that i leave this thing on the most and there
you go that's the outside weather and then it will flash to the temperature the last icon here
is actually kind of like a a favorite so i don't use that one as much that will control
the brightness like i said this is the one i leave it on all the time especially since i've
been working from home a lot i kind of like being able to see what day it is what time it is and the
weather outside even though i'm not going outside coming across to lighting that's this one here
you can change lots of aspects of this i haven't found a real use for this but it's there
recommend it recommended this will cycle through recommended pixel art things and again this is
pre-programmed in there so you can't really change anything you'll notice that there were some star
wars in there because you saw me doing a lot of star wars searching earlier visualization this
is think about it if you're playing something and you have those old audio visualizers in
microsoft windows media player these are what these are as sound goes through the d-boom you'll
see spikes you can make your own if you want again not artistic enough to actually do that
custom these are things that i found and placed onto the devoom itself you'll notice that i was
doing a star wars theme there are other pages that you can do so if you wanted to add more
what you would do is you click the plus sign and then you would search so in my case i come
i come back up to star wars here and i will just find one of the star wars things that i searched
for and what we're gonna do is i'll add the death star and there we go the death star is saved
and then that will transfer over to the devoom itself and it will rotate through these every 30
seconds as you can see up here and you can select the time to rotate through if you wanted to you
can also trash this entire tab and start over oh so i have to upload it i forgot to do that
so there you go you can see it's uploading to the ditto itself
and there we go now it's added to the the cycling and then if i wanted to create other ones i would
just come in here and do searches so that's that's really nice with the customization and that's the
end of the built-ins for that and if i come over here you can say on startup where you wanted to go
any one of your visualizations i just like i said mainly use it on the clock down here at the bottom
if we come over to discovery this is where they pretty much through everything else for the d boom
it can do a lot of other things that aren't by default displayed on the ditto itself they kind of
throw in here design you've got animation so those are those things that you can get to before games
all the games that you had access to on the d boom it the ditto itself you can get through here
you lose some of that tactile clickiness doing it from the smartphone itself but you have the
ability to do so pixel coloring that's again built in planner you can daily planner baby planner or
child planner baby planner they're like i said they just throw so much stuff in here alarms
mixer you've probably seen a lot of people do this one it's interesting where you can kind of throw
different instrument sounds in there and then again across the top you actually have
instrument sounds
so really it's it's a fun little toy that you can play with and then here we
have more so that was mixer i can edit what icons i actually want to show up here and i
can drag them down from the bottom here so any of these uh things i'm gonna hit cancel
if i wanted to drag up the letter editor or the pixel coloring or the radio there there's radio
not the greatest in my opinion the few that i've tried looking for you know connection
error is what i tend to find but there are radio stations that you can do using the ditto
and then planner so if you wanted to adjust this stuff up here you could like i said there's just
a lot that they're trying to throw into this app and here you go expert so this is kind of like
the catch-all area and this is the main page which is trying to get you to put art onto your ditto
itself there's there's a lot going on with this app but if you really want to get all the features
out of the ditto you're going to have to use the app at one point in fact if i come back the main
page which i generally use which is the timer weather and calendar you will have to connect it
to your phone via the app just to make sure that the data for the weather and temperature outside
are accurate because this has no internal way of knowing that it's feeding off of the phone so
that that was a extended look at the application it has changed quite a bit from the other people
that i've seen who have done the devoom ditto uh reviews in the past so this appears to be
the current as of 2021 app it probably will change in the future but this was the look
at it right now and there is a lot to do within the app hopefully you found some part of this
useful
you
