Awesome lights.....subpar app

Lights are absolutely amazing! The app leaves a lot to be desired. Difficult to use and not very intuitive. Wish there was a way customers could share their custom configurations and wish the app was more user friendly

The app is crap

Lighting is good but the app is utter crap! It fails every time you open it! The schedule function doesn’t work. Lights were supposed to go off at midnight but still on in the morning. The definitions in the selection are cut off and you can’t tell what your selecting. This was built by amateurs.

Worst App Ever

If it wasn’t for the awesome lights and ability to customize them, I would have demanded my money back. The app is the most unreliable, functioning, inconsistent app I’ve used. Nothing about it is intuitive. Also, anything you touch seems to change what color or pattern the lights are.
The fact you have to be connected to the same network as the controller in order to control the lights is super outdated. I should be able to control the lights from anywhere?! Very unsatisfied about the app and features. Other than that, the lights are awesome.

Frustrating

We were one of the first houses that installed Jellyfish lights in our neighborhood. We got a lot of interest and people purchasing the lights from alllll over….which is great , however it’s been frustrating since they’ve grown in business. I used to talk personally with the guy that created the product… amazing man, but now when I call to get help bc the new app doesn’t work with the controller… I’m told it will be at least 150.00 dollars just to have someone come out … this doesn’t include if they need to do something or if they conclude it won’t work. Super frustrating app updates and customer service.

Won’t stay connected

It is a bad strategy to require being on the same Wi-Fi network as the controller.

1. Prevents you from turning them on or off when away from the house (like every other internet connected device).

2. Also makes it a difficult time defining. Zones and playing with colors while outside of the Wi-Fi signal is t strong outside the home. Super frustrating.

Additionally, having issues with the app UI when trying to add/edit zones - when expanding them, the screen just goes blank.

Amazing app

This is by far the most capable app in the permanent Lighting space. Easily the brightest light, best app and the most discrete light during the day.

App improvement plz

Lights are awesome. With just the right combination of lighting our house really pops. App needs work. Need to have a way to know what current light setting is running seems to revert back to original settings anytime your trying to make adjustments.

Light are awesome, app is behind

I love the lights, the app is a little underwhelming. Although there are tons of preset lighting options the schedule is flaky and often times doesn’t update with changes or lights don’t turn on or off at saved intervals for no apparent reason. I would love to see a status on the top header for pattern currently “in use”, try to figure out why the app crashes if reopened, and fix the flaky scheduling so I don’t have to confirm if the lights actually turn on or off every time.

Great update, needs some small adjustments

When adding a color or making a small change to a program, the brightness returns to 100% and most settings revert to the original settings. Sometimes I like my design but want to change or adjust one color or other setting, and the whole thing reverts. Also, would be nice if there was a global brightness option. These lights are bright and I keep mine below 20% almost all the time.
