  • After update can’t find lights on my network

    After app and lights update my app can’t recognize lights on my network, i reset the lights reconnect them to my Wi-Fi network still getting messages no accessory found. Done that 20 times, finally both lights appeared in the app but after exiting app and lunch it again it shows no accessory found. So frustrating. Now to control lights i need to turn on my pc

  • Crashes on reload from memory

    Maybe this is a new bug introduced when iOS got updated (I’m new to it in the last couple of weeks) but anytime I reload the app from memory it crashes back to the Home Screen. Thankfully a simple tap of the app opens it and it works fine afterwards. Very annoying as it’s probably a simple fix but I can see the app hasn’t been updated for 3 months so support seems sporadic

  • Works better than the desktop app

    Connection to lights seems a lot more stable than the desktop app, and was required to complete the initial setup of the lights (the desktop version couldn’t see find the lights but mobile has no issue)

    As has been mentioned, HomeKit and Siri integration would be a fantastic addition. Even better, enrolment into the Friends of Hue programme, so I could control all of my lights in one place.

  • Will not reconnect to Key Light

    I had a brief wifi outage and now this app will not reconnect to my Key Light. All was fine before the outage. I’ve reset the light and re-connected it to my network. Several times. Frustrating. The Key Light is bricked until I can figure out how to resolve this issue. Ugh.
  • Please add Siri Shortcuts capabilities

    The Elgato key light is pretty awesome.... in fact I have two of them.

    Despite being an awesome product the light and app lacks Siri functionality and we constantly have to open the app to turn on and off the light. Automation would make this product complete and bring it into the digital age.

    Please, please, pleeeeeeeease Elgato or apple add this feature to the app and lights.

  • Would be cool to have an Apple Watch version

    Nice app for phone but would be great to have quick access via my Apple Watch.
  • More integrations please!

    The app works as intended, but I would love to have this compatible with Apple Home-kit and able to be controlled with my apple watch from anywhere. Thanks!
  • Great Hardware - App needs presets

    Very pleased with the hardware quality, and quality of the LED lights. Wide range of adjustment for the brightness and color temp. The app doesn't connect reliably. A better interface is needed for precise settings - and presets! Hopeful a software update will remedy these shortcomings for 5 stars.

  • When it works it great

    The app often crashes as soon as it’s opened. Sometimes it takes two retries. But when it does open it works great at controlling light temperature and brightness.
  • Desperately needs improvements

    Read previous review. Josh has described my experience exactly. Considering the Key Light’s reliance on the app, one can only hope they will fix it rather soon.
