I had quite a few issues using this product and almost all of the writing is in Chinese. I had wanted this because my boyfriend likes to leave me messages and drawings. This was about the only part I liked about this product. I was able to set the time, but I'm still having issues trying to figure out how to set the date. Also it flickers threw all of them so quickly it's hard to catch sometimes t he first time looking at it. Also the light stays on all the time it seems or I can't figure out how to get the light to turn off. Another issue that I have is that it doesn't come with the cord to plug into the outlet or with batteries. You will have to supply either. This is available on Amazon . I received this at a discounted rate in exchange for a honest review.
