Awesome!
This app gives a lot more versatility to the Baselantern XL! I have noticed a small glitch where if I physically turn the light on and use the app to enter "chill" mode it will flicker as it resists. Problem is 100% fixed if light is turned on via app. Otherwise there's been no other issues and works great!Show lessasque2000
Doesn't connect - iPad pro 9.7"
Won't connect at all using an iPad Pro 9.7" with a BaaeLantern XL..Disappointing, since it hangs at "updating software" in the android app. :(Jasondenning_vid_review
great idea - but needs fixes
Very intuitive design and fun to use - when it works. Like other reviewers have mentioned, it has connectiviity issues. I also don't have the BPM (beats per minute) feature on the menu-which would be cool to use. Hopefully biolite works on these because it's nice to show off the base lantern to friends and family when it's working!Show lessjayspot
Doesn't connect
Hard to review an app that has connection issues. This app will not pair with my base lantern XL. So I'm thinking there are still some bug issues.Skyscream75
Awesome app for awesome lantern
This app is just plain awesome!!!
Nothing more to be said.Rickery1274
App works well but could use some work
Just off the top, it would be great to be able to turn the sitelights on and off without having to turn the baselantern off as well.Say no to add!
On pre order 😛
Cant wait for my base lantern to use this appbeefy7196
unfairly reflects the ability of the light
i'm sure it's an early issue that will be updated in time. colors don't fully illuminate when turning the light on/off via app; shaky settings on color schemes with white showing through most prominently. based on the overall design it seems to be heading in the right direction.wahmmoth mountain
Overall Fun but needs update
Overall this is a fun app that works pretty well. Unfortunately it is still missing some of the features that were promoted in the Kickstarter campaign. Proximity, BMP, Morse Code,etc. Get those in the next update and it would be 5stars.austinb6
Good Start…
(This review is specific to the app and not the light itself.)
The latest update removed a few features, which I wasn't too happy about, such as the the light flashing variations, proximity, and choosing which side to light (front/back). Other than that the app works.
Pairing is slow, which I can see why they removed the proximity sensing. Slow re-pairing makes adjusting the light slow while it re-establishes the link; I would imagine rendering the proximity sensing useless or incredibly slow. I sometimes run into issues when trying to alter the color schemes and it stalls or switches the light to white or vice versa. I have also run into experiences when these unexpected changes happen the brightness changes leaving you with an unexpected blinding light when you're in a small room or close to the unit. I suspect this is all a software issue as the hardware itself seems do what it's told as long as the right setting are pushed to it.
I would currently rate this as "usable", but there are some obvious bugs they still need to work out. As a control for the light, it simply works, but the many features to really make this product and application shine are not quite there yet.
This of course is the first run of the product and application, so this is expected. I also expect this to improve as this app gets vetted by users and shared with their development team.Show lessArnellTheBlaster
