You don’t have to be very tech savvy to use this projector. I just typed in my streaming services log ins and we were good to go.
I would highly recommend this projector.

The picture quality, need to constant adjustment each time you move it, low luminance that require complete dark to see any text size without blur make it hard to use and recommend. Annoying inability to stop Samsung TV+ to always pop up every time when nothing is running, unless completely disable this feature, which define the purpose of this app.
Good:
Really like Compact Design. Good sound for the size. OKAY Colors (in full dark). Got it under $400 which makes good value if above bad issues are solved.
Bottom line:
Unless you using it in total dark and not plan to move it, its good gadget, where you have no option to use regular panel TV.

Pros; Easily setup, viewing options (Samsung TV, subscriptions like Netflix and Prime), portable, good local sound, pretty good (but not great) picture quality, pretty good sound (can add bluetooth speaker), connected Samsung account.
Cons; No controls on projector so if remote breaks..., HORRIBLE picture (nearly can't see anything at all) with just a little light coming through the window or trying to use on partially covered patio.

After using this for about a month, I wanted to get one of the cheaper projectors on Amazon to try out and compare to. I spent about $200 so I didn't expect it to necessarily be a fair comparison but the Freestyle was so much better than the cheaper one in every way imaginable. I didn't realize exactly how much I appreciate the keystone correction on the Freestyle until I didn't have it. I mean, the one from Amazon *did* have horizontal keystone correction but not vertical. If I had kept it set up in my bedroom, the projector would have to have been left at the foot of the bed, taking up floor space. Additionally, there were several areas of the screen that got blurry and not nearly as clear as the Freestyle. Unlike the Freestyle which feels very well built, the other unit felt like a kids toy, very cheaply made. After about 10 minutes, I ended up putting the other projector back in the box and returned it.
I mainly use the Freestyle to watch YouTube and Vudu and for that, it's worked pretty flawlessly. My primary complaint, like most people, is that it just isn't as bright as I'd like it to be. With the lights dimmed, it's still acceptable, it just makes darker content hard to see at times. The audio is surprisingly loud and clear but I did opt to set it up with a bluetooth sound bar that makes it just a bit better and allows for more bass. I also have this set up with some off-brand bluetooth headphones and it's paired to my Buds 2 Pro but the Buds seem to have a connection issue that causes the audio to cut out a lot. The off-brand headphones don't have that issue. Having said that, the device does pretty well with automatically prompting to connect to whatever bluetooth device I have powered on, only rarely needing to go into the settings to force the connection.
One thing that I've struggled with is getting the device to just load to the main screen or the last app I used. It's a crapshoot whether it's going to load to the last app or if I'll be watching some cartoon network episode when it powers on. It's set to go to the last app but that doesn't always happen. It's quite annoying but not a deal breaker.
Also, the UI is (like other people stated) slow. Sometimes it seems more responsive than others but usually, there's a significant delay between pressing a button on the remote and something actually happening on the device. Having said that, I'm not using this to go channel surfing so it's a minor annoyance that I've learned to deal with.
Like I said, overall, I'm pretty happy with this but I'm still undecided if I'm going to keep it. I can spend a little more money and get a 75" TV that would be much brighter AND have a 4K picture. The only downside is that I would lose the option of portability. I can take this with me on vacation and have a big screen anywhere I go so long as it's in a darker environment.
For the original asking price, I'm thinking this deserves about 3.5 stars due to the sluggish UI and dark picture but the form factor, fantastic experience I've had with the auto keystone correction, the sound... basically the overall versatility, I'll push that to 4 stars. Also, while the picture is darker than I'd like, it is a very consistently nice picture with no noticeable distortion.
