Ilumi update fixed connection issue
When 1.6 came out it caused issue with the Bluetooth connection, causing me unable to connect to ilumi unless I reset and the problem reappear. I emailed Heather at ilumi(support agent) and she was aware of this issue due to the new up date, she informed me that a firmware update was required to resolve the connection issue. On trying to update the the firmware I kept loosing connection to ilumi but I kept trying and finally it updated. The connection to ilumi after the update was better but still not working correctly so I email Heather that the firmware didn't resolve the connection issue plus 1.6 app update kept crashing when going on experiences when the firmware was updated. Heather mailed me back informing other users was having this issue, but there engineers already released 1.7 and was waiting on apples approval, once approve updating to 1.7 resolved all connection issues and app crashes. The support at ilumi is excellent never know a company care so much for its customer. All that app requires now is more experiences, so ilumi will turn on at a certain time then turn off this is one feature I'd like! Thanks iLumi!!

Good start
As a kickstarter backer I love the blub and how this company got to this point. Just a few things to make the app better.
1: if we could have the blub to remember the last brightness setting. As at night you set the scene then move out the screen and get blinded by the blub going back to bright normal light.
2: the colour wheel need to give you a better range of colour. As I can only get about 3 different blue due to the app not being very accurate with the colour picker.
3: also the brightness slider is well very bad. It very bright not much mid range as for the dim light at night well is bad. To try to get the light very dim is difficult. I always get it just right and the slider move into off.
The slider need more give and more low light dim option along the slider.
4: plus some build in Templates scene would be great. Eg: evening, sunset. Workspace, winter night (for people who need extra daylight in winter) Eg: Phillips bulbs
An update soon would be good.

Good App, but looking forward to improvements!
The App to control the bulbs is great, but I am sure there will be some improvements made… especially with additional experiences, as right now there are only two. Also, it would be nice if it was not so easy to change the lighting scenes. I’ve sent some feedback for these requests. Keep up the great work and much success. I am planning to buy more bulbs in the future.

Good start, but super buggy
The basics work fine and I can control the colour of my light - that's awesome! But trying to set up "Experiences" is really buggy. For some reason my light always turns on at 2:50am which is understandably SUPER annoying.
