I think it will be an overused magical plot solving device.

So, just like all the other Sonic Screwdrivers, then.

One of the best quotes I heard about the sonic (I forget who said it) was that it should never be used in the second half of the episode. It's for opening doors and getting the Doctor into trouble, not for getting them back out of it again.

I love the inclusion of the Rwandan proverb translated into Gallifreyan. It's a really cool way to portray homage to the Doctor's character while also including non-Western influences.

As to the design of the screwdriver itself, I quite miss the old cylindrical design. I'm sure it'll be fine in action though.

I will just call it a sonic gadget. Not as awesome sounding as the screwdriver, but maybe it will catch on.

The Gallifreyan symbols are nice. Imo, this is NOT a sonic screwdriver.

I think the sonic remote looks better than the sonic specs.

I don’t like it, too bulky.

It could grow on me. It's hard to tell without seeing it in action

I'm going to refer to it as the sonic studfinder. Because it looks like one, and it found Ncuti.

I think Character Options are, once again, going to take all my money.
