Leave a Review Friendship Lamps
Thankful
My lamp has done wonders for a fractured relationship. Something as “simple” as a light coming on, saying I love you & I'm thinking of you, has done wonders. I know it sounds dramatic, but it’s true. When words get in the way a simple act can break through. I’m SO thankful that I took the chance and got them for us.Show lessiambmr
Love staying connected
Great way to stay connected to family and friends. Love the app. Setup is also east.Brindt66
Pretty good
I upgraded to the remote option and I think it’s worth the money to be able to send and respond to my out of state niece, while out of the house.
I rated this 4 stars because of lag issues. For example, I will select yellow on the app, but the lamp remains green. I’ll cycle through the colors and the lamp can’t keep up, even though I’m next to the lamp so there should not be connectivity issues. This is intermittent, though.
A feature I would like to see are radio buttons where I can select the color I want, instead of cycling through all the colors, missing dark pink 5 times before I finally get it. I understand cycling is part of the charm, but it can get frustrating, especially since my niece only wants certain colors!
I appreciate the remote option and I have no regrets with the purchase.Show lessJYDSEA

Thank you for the review and the feedback! You are able to set the colors based on which lamp and who is sending a touch. This way only a certain color appears for that person. There are many different ways to use the colors on the lamp. Let us know if we can help in anyway!Disappointing — money grab
I was really looking forward to the app, being able to manage the lamp from the phone and sending “touches” and be notified when the friend uses their lamp. But unless you subscribe, you can’t. Which means this app is essentially useless.
Sadly, this app is buggy… will not reliably find the lamp when it’s connected to wifi (I.e. without the bridge), unless you plug the lamp in and out multiple times. When you click “help” the in-app browser reroutes you to their zendesk nonsense and there’s no “back button.”
What’s worse, like I said, the only useful feature of “remote touches” is an annual bloody subscription of $25.
Come on. This should really be free, we already paid premium prices for the lamps, why do you squeeze another 25 bucks per year out of our wallet. I’d probably pay $5 per year or $25 once to unlock, but not 25 every year.
So I guess I’ll be happy with my lamp until they decide that the regular lamp functions also start requiring subscriptions.Show less0b$cur0
Notifications
The app doesn’t always send notifications when a lamp in the group is touched. And that’s honestly the only reason I paid for the subscription. To get notifications when I can’t visibly see the lamp.harris3030

Love my new lamp! My daughter and I use it throughout the day. It always makes me smile when she lights mine up, what great invention!gunner duner
Will not stay connected
After many attempts restarts and over an hour of my life wasted, it finally connected to Wi-Fi. Worked for a few hours before disconnecting itself and haven’t been able to connect it again since. App is absolutely terrible. Just sends you to a search engine which also doesn’t work. Daughter and her friend are incredibly disappointed. Will be returning and buying a different product.Show lesssteve11112

When I first found the lamps, I knew I needed to get them! I got one for me and one for my dad. I am moving across the country, and these lamps are just another way to stay connected. The app was a little tricky to connect to the lamps, but once they were all set up, we were good to go! The app lets you set your own color so you can tap it and the other lamp glows your color.Show lessMy3Js

Thank you for sharing your story! We greatly appreciate you! Thrilled we can help make that connection for you no matter the distance.Solid
So I purchased a few of these devices for my family to stay connected, and the app definitely made it easier to set up. I tried a test setup of one with the app, one without and gosh was it a noticeable difference! The only thing that doesn’t feel 100% for me is that it took about 20-30 minutes from unboxing to being able to use each device, the vast majority of that was unplugging and plugging in the lamps. Obviously not something with the app since both methods used for setup required this, so don’t let that sway your decision, this app clearly helps. Overall, the app does what it needs to, does it well, and doesn’t pretend to do other than what it says. I fully suggest getting this if you plan on using these lights.Show lessdiggerollocady
