Nice.. But room for improvement
Like the bulb. Like the app layout and the moods. Just wish there was a little more customisation for example a Strobe effect. Id imagine this kind of thing could be implemented entirely through software. I hope the app progresses over time
Home kit?
Wild be nice to see HomeKit incorporated into the app so Siri can be used to control the lights. Other than that, much more control over the color of the light would also be a plus. As of now, it's extremely limited. Maybe also something where you can customize your own scene?
Great Product
Awesome light bulbs, it would be really great if you could please add a sleep fade option where you select how long you want the bulb to fade out for until it's off. Also can this be integrated with apples home kit so the lamp can be controlled by Siri? Thanks! 😊
Great but...
We should have the possibility to create our own color transitions, not only the presets. Wake up timer should use the colors to simulate real sunrise, not only white light! Should be easy enough to program... Do it for next update please!
Very good quality product worth the money
I highly recommend this product it is easy to set up no bridge required just a Bluetooth connection I recommend buying two of these in order to get a better effect, although one will still be alright.
Very good and stable app
Quality: The apps instantly linked my 6 bluetooth light bulb, no waiting or searching endlessly. The bulb are still connected since launch (It has been 2 weeks now) and no connection error occured.
The app is simple. You choose a color (or a theme) then choose bulbs for that color. The color remembers wich bulb were associated with them, so its easy to setup more than 1 room, even though it seems upside down.
I hesitated between 4 and 5 stars. I finally choose 5 because the only "downside" would be the simplicity of the app, but there is enough option to control bulb and that's what I wanted with the bulb.

Great value - Limited Control
Compared to other offerings, Avea is an outstanding value. I have found, however that the bulb tends toward the cool side of the color spectrum. "White" looks like a fluorescent light - even when tuned as warm as it will go. I was hoping the software would allow me to tune just about any color in the spectrum but, instead, your are limited to a handful of preset colors.
Also, the software has no schedule feature other than the Wake-up setting that allows you to set the light to turn on at a predetermined time (but no setting to turn the lamp off).

Great product that could be exceptional.
I love this bulb! From the moment I read about it on the blogs I knew I had to have it. I waited and waited and checked the order page and managed to get the bulb the first day it went on sale. I've had it since and it's been great. It's a great alternative to the Phillips hue lights... The Bluetooth is usually reliable and the few times I've had trouble a simple unplug has been enough to resolve my issue. I love the app with this product as well. It does a great job at capturing cool scenes. I do however feel it could offer more control over the bulb than just colors. A self timer would be fantastic, say turn off in 30minutes sort of thing. I would also love the ability to create my own scenes, sequence color changes, or do strobe style effects. I've even seen some other bulbs do things like flash certain colors if you have any notifications. Maybe it was done through IFTT? Anyways ultimately I love the device just wish I had more control but who knows if we'll see that in the coming time, when it happens it will elevate this product tremendously.

Good app and product to go with it, but I do have some suggestions.
This app and the lightbulb that goes with it are great. It's nice that it connects via Bluetooth and doesn't need a wifi hub like the Hue and other products out there right now. The scenes provided are pretty cool. But, I do have some issues/suggestions.
1. Sometimes randomly the bulb will disconnect and not be discoverable. The only way to resolve it is to unplug the bulb and plug it back in. Not a big deal, but is annoying.
2. I would be nice to have more granular control over the solid colors. The few colors provided do not allow for the control I would like. Maybe a color wheel type selector like you find within OS X? Something to tap and drag your finger around to find just the color you want.
3. Like I mentioned, the scenes are pretty cool. Maybe offer more of those?
Overall I'm pretty happy with this app and the purchase. Thanks!
