Great App but Custom Colors

I love this app always connects to my lights with no issues, and I love that they added custom colors. My only issue is that you can’t preview the color on your lights before you add it to your ‘library’ so I never know if the color is right or not, and it never is. If that’s becomes an option this app will definitely be 5 stars from me. Also a lot of people are saying they can’t play music because of copyright, and I have this issue with lots of apps that require iTunes music so it’s understandable. Also all of my twenty one pilots songs are not copyrighted and work just fine.

Great!! But a few improvements

I think this app is great because my led remote doesn’t have 44 keys. But with the new custom color feature it would be great if we could also make custom colors with the color wheel and delete some colors if you don’t like them. Plus it would be cool if you could be able to make your lights go on DIY mode

Different music selections and Custom Gradients?

I really like the new update on the custom colours and the app is also rly good but in my opinion custom gradients would also be a pretty decent addition so that you could choose which colours you want it to switch in between ex.(BVB) Also if there were different ways we could use music that be really cool because not many people rly use Apple Music so it would make the app a bit more useful. (not that it isn’t)

I unplugged it and then re-plugged it and nothing

I loose things very often and when I lost the remote to the LED lights I was a little mad and frustrated but that’s my fault for loosing the remote I was a little more calm cause I knew there was the app so I didn’t need the remote and I tried using the app I clicked on all the buttons it said connection success but even though it said that it didn’t work it would be a five-star if you didn’t need the remote to turn on but you need it to turn on

Problems

There are a few problems with the app
1. If you have multiple lights plugged in and you want to change the color, it may either not be the same color you selected, be two different colors and sometimes it just doesn’t work

2. The color wheel works it’s just not responsive

3. What’s the point in showing your music list and can’t play any of it, and what’s the 3 lines in the bottom right in the music tab for

4. Is the “night mood” in color tab, dose need to be there you can already change the brightness

5. In the color tab the icons to pick solid colors doesn’t work, if have multiple lights there not the same color

6. And for the last thing, the app seems old and dead, make the interface more modern

Don’t bother buying!!!

Absolute rubbish. The app uses Apple Music which not a lot of people use. After downloading Apple Music only for the use of the lights, everyone song I tried to play couldn’t be used as copyright issues. So the only song you can use is the song jingle bells on the app, which I don’t want to be listening to over and over again

Decent.

I don’t use Apple Music or keep music in my library, so I can’t speak for the music function. The mic function kinda works for music, though. It’s a little on the sensitive side, so my lights flicker even when it’s nearly silent, which is a little disorienting. I’ll have to play around with it some more to see if I can rectify that. As of right now, I just REALLY want an option to make my own color palettes. It’d be awesome if you could add your own color palettes to the modes, as well. A scheduling functionality would be incredible, too. But I won’t get my hopes up.

Eh

The quality of the lights is actually pretty good and I like the variety of colors u can choose from but when I tried connecting it to my second strip it completely malfunctions and doesn’t follow the buttons u press. Not only that but the music is a big problem since nothing works cuz of copyright. Also the app was doing great for a little but now that’s also malfunctioning so I’m kind of disappointed

Good but could be improvements

I think the app should allow you to be able to make your own colours that can be saved so we are not trying to find that perfect shade of blue or yellow or any colour for about 2 hours

Music

The app overall is good. You can customize the color and everything which I love. But why have the option to sync you music with the app if you can’t play it. It says it’s all because of copyright but I bought the lights and got the app to have the lights be synced with my music but it won’t let me play my music and it’s frustrating. I wish they would fix it to make it play my music but that probably won’t happen.
