BASIC and underdeveloped
This app has not changed in years, could be so much better…
Doesn’t record rides
I have been using as part of a community project to record rides but it only seems to record about a quarter of them. I cycle almost every day to work but this week it has only recorded 0.1mile!
Also, unless you have it on eco mode the battery runs out in the middle of a 3 mile ride.

Great but could offer more
The lights are great and the app works without any issues. But it lacks a few function in terms of light control. Having to fish my phone out of my pocket, unlock and open the app to individually turn on front and rear lights is actually slower than just turning on the lights manually. It would be a great improvement to allow to bundle lights within the app and operate them together. Even better would be to add an Apple Watch app. Killer would be to voice activate the lights. “Siri, turn on/off my bike lights” and that’s it.
Allow users to create their own scripts using the iOS automator. Operate individual or groups of lights, set tracking, theft alarm etc via Siri commands would make this app an absolute gem.

I have to agree with the other review, this is doing the same thing! Junk
The update bricks it - real junk!
Opens up the product, downloaded the app.
The app said it needs a firmware update. The app would not let me go past needing an update, so I tapped update. That froze on 0%, and the light does not function at all, except to attach to Bluetooth and have the little green lights come on indicating it's ready. I've uninstalled the app as suggested in the faq's and removed the light from the app as many times. It's a waste!
This is like I bought a $10 product from china and expected it to work, EXCEPT it was $100 product.

Easy to use.
Easy to use App, syncs seamlessly with my ‘ace’ rear light. The thing I would add is when my light is on but the app is closed I think it should still track my position as I have set it up for ‘location always’. Apart from having to leave the app open to track my ride it is great. Being able to switch your light on and off without pressing the button hopefully keeps things more waterproof.

Very Good bright bike light
Beam +
Very bright and powerful bike light. Other road users can see me from a distance. Just point it to the ground slightly so as not to blind other road users. Takes a while to fully charge it to 100 %. But holds it charge if using adaptive flash mode for upto 30 hours. Comes with a head mount for your helmet and a bar mount. Very easy and useful to switch between them everyday or have several bikes.
Use the lights in the forest on our night rides. Lights quite a bit in front and on the sides.
Very good build quality.
Happy cycling.

Brilliant!
Works brilliantly on my iPhone. Love being able to monitor battery levels as I ride along and getting messages when level drop around 20%. The crash alert gives great piece of mind.

Great lights; “ok” app
I own 2 rear SeeSense lights (Icon 2 & Ace) & the Beam front light. I highly recommend all of them. Reliable, easy to use, good battery life and adjustable brightness.
I’ve had to return the rear lights a couple of times as they had water damage after several wet rides and since they were still under warranty - had them replaced both times.
The app is ok - only useful to change brightness settings (this setting doesn’t reset unless light software has been updated) and I rarely turn it on unless I need a good reading of remaining battery life.
Would love to see the Beam light/speed sensing function abit more reliable- I find this function not sensitive enough therefore more often draining the battery life too quickly.

Siri Shortcuts or Watch app
I agree with a previous review which rightly says there are too many clicks to simply turn on/off all your lights.
When my hands are cold I would like to press a big button on my Apple Watch to toggle all my lights.
I have owned Ace and Icon light for a few years and would have thought a watch app would be developed by now.
Maybe you don’t have to go that far if you implied Siri Shortcuts. I could talk to my watch to turn on/off the lights which would be ideal!
