Lights Are Awesome, App is Junk

As it says. The lights are great, seem to be good quality and plenty bright. But the app is atrocious. The number of times it has said lost connection (and then just sits and hangs), forcing me to reboot over and over to get the lights to work, is completely unacceptable for what you pay for this lighting system. If I’m sitting ten feet from the router on a 600 meg connection, it shouldn’t ever be losing connection or having issues. The app needs massive improvement.

Not a great app

Cool lights. App is not good and takes away from the experience.

Lights are awesome but….

I chose jellyfish at first specifically for the type of light. Can’t be beat but now it’s all about the app and services. Jellyfish is way behind their competitors with having a cloud service not being able to sync to music. Their Linux box is already pricey so I hope they don’t expect us to buy a different operating system to have the same services that their competitors have. I’ve given 3 stars because the lights can not be beat. But the app and services are a 1 star at best.

Lights are great the app is trash

Installation was fantastic, they did great. Lights so far have been fantastic as well. The app is complete garbage. It fails to connect to the lighting system all the time, it is slow when it does connect. Have very good network that covers the house, garage and yard as well as a high speed network.

Nothing but issues with the app, my $300 Rachio irrigation system runs circles around d the jellyfish app.

For spending $3200 I expected the app to at least function and work.

Horrible App

I have only had my lights (which I love) for a few weeks. The app is complete trash. It says connection issue 90% of the time. I had to leave my lights on all night because I could never connect. If I had known this app was this bad I wouldn’t have spent all that money. Really disappointing.

Needs work.

The lights are amazing when the app decides to work. You’d think a company bringing in this type of money would have a more user friendly software. It seems to have a ton of bugs that are no bother to the company. The app doesn’t follow the time settings, some dates set on the schedule are ignored and there’s way too much going on.

Love my lights but app is subpar

I often have difficulty even connecting into the app which is frustrating. I wish I could make changes anywhere but I literally have to stand in my garage to make adjustments. The customization options are difficult to know what’s really going on and the calendar preset does not always kick in so I have to go back into the app and change the styles myself for holidays and after. Very disappointed in the app and process to program my lights.

Update fixed a lot of concerns

This company is constantly updating and getting better. I’m glad because you spend a lot of money and then feel like the support might be gone, but it’s not. They are awesome continuing to improve the product. I get support from my installer locally in Illinois. Awesome product.

Great lights, app is lacking

Wish the app would have a photo booth so you could take a picture of the color you wanted the lights to be. Also, the schedule doesn’t update with daylight savings time.

Great lighting power horrible app

After spending an arm and leg for quality permanent lighting today, I am rather disappointed in the app. Lacks many modern features.

1: complaint is that I cannot connect remotely (5ft or more from box in garage)

2: not incredibly intuitive and user friendly

3: in schedule mode, you cannot see what the pre selected show colors are. It just makes them as if you have them memorized

I really hope jellyfish invests in improving this app. Lights get my approval for initial quality and brightness the app is what makes it debatable to refer to all my friends and Neigbors.
