  • App is Useless

    I was really excited about this and even raved to my friends about it and convinced them to buy the bulbs. I can't get the Bluetooth to connect, or when I do, to stay connected. I mean without the Bluetooth functionality, it's just a light that you switch on and off and those don't cost $20 a pop. Save your money until they get the connectivity sorted.
  • Do not buy!!!!!!!

    I purchased this bulb from Target and after several attempts to get it to work I was only able to play music through it. The app always crashes. This piece of junk is going in the trash.
  • Disappointment

    Drops Bluetooth connection. Have followed instructions carefully and tried several times. Have concluded it just DOES NOT WORK.

    If you're really tempted to get this I suggest you pick one up at the beginning of your shopping trip, put it in the cart or basket, and push it around the store. When it's time to check out, take it out of the basket and set it down. You will have had the same experience as if you had purchased the darn thing AND saved the money. If you're shopping online I guess you're SOL.
  • Don't buy software crashes!

    I bought this bulb from target thinks it would be a fun novelty however the bulb doesn't change color and the app crashes. Don't buy it!!!!
  • Half works

    Worked well for a few weeks but now plays music successfully but claims "Bluetooth not connected" when attempting to change light color or brightness.
  • Keep loosing blue-tooth signal

    Love the concept!
    Just waiting for a few more "updates" for the app to improve/stabilize the blue tooth
    connectivity and it will be an awesome product!
  • Drops Bluetooth connection!

    Far too difficult to get successful Bluetooth Connection. However, once established it will invariably drop connection sometime through the night. I wake up to music from the alarm on my iPhone. Music plays through speaker just fine. But, before it's my time to get up, the Bluetooth connection will have been lost, therefore all I hear is the lame little low volume from my iPhone's speakers! With a fix for this issue I would quickly give the product a 5 star rating!
  • Play the music from your actual player

    I realized that to play the music don't use the app itself. Use your actual player on your iPhone. Use the app just for the lights. Easy.
  • Not what I thought, but still nifty.

    It's nice to be able to turn on my light from bed, or outside my room. I also enjoy that the colors can be adjusted.

    However, I was most excited about the speaker. I love listening to podcasts, and the speaker would be so nice...however, I can't connect connect the podcasts to the speaker.
  • Fun novelty

    Got this bulb as a Christmas present. The first one I had, the green didn't work. After I got a new one, I couldn't get the music to work. After I connected the Bluetooth through my iPhone settings, I was able to get sound to play. The speaker seems to be as good as I expected. (Decent)

    The controls seem to need some more work. No music song search, or play lists. Would like to see some color save options.

    The app it self seems to crash now and then or just freeze. I also seem to get two connect options when connecting to the light. One in English, and one in Chinese.
