Stopped working!

My garden stopped connecting to WiFi. I didn’t change anything. I have restarted my wife but still not connecting. So this app is useless now.

Worked great until discontinued support

I would give this 1 out of 5 stars but it actually DOES still sort of work. I have to relog every time I open the app (which is almost daily to turn off the lighting at various times during the day). The app is basically limping along while the parent company just rolls on by. I assume the software development was outsourced and the parent company (MiracleGrow), couldn’t be bothered to keep going with it. I get that, but I’d rather the server-side management and login be open sourced so I can install it on my local network or similar via Docker or something like that. It’s super frustrating that something as simple as login info isn’t stored and authenticated every 6-12 mos.

App broke. Again

v2.1.1 on an iPad. Its a new month and the app will not let me log in. I can log into the website with my credentials but get error messages in the app. One time email code doesn’t work either. I get the email but i can’t log into the app. Deleted and reinstalled the app and it still doesn’t work. Super frustrating and the support on the site is AI. 4 days later… Edit to add: the devs have resolved the login issue and the app is now working. The lights can once again be controlled via app. I hope we do not have the same issue in the next month or two, or with the next release.

New Customer - So far very bad experience

Update 6/4/26: eventually after my original review the app started functioning. Not to worry though I’m back because this is by far the worst smart light product on the market. No in between or questions about it. This product is garbage.

Now the app works but, it actually doesn’t. Set a light schedule… nope it doesn’t follow it. Try to turn the light on or off in the app…. nope. Not happening.

As someone that is not new to smart devices I thought ok, software error. I will reset the device fully. Set it up again.

Same results.

Read my original review, and do yourself a favor stay far away from these products. I hate saying that because I like their designs but this is the worst smart device in my house by far, and my house is smart from top to bottom.

They shouldn’t legally be allowed to sell this as a smart device. Even Alexa skill can’t sync with it, even though it says it can.



Original review:
First I was gifted the AeroGarden Tabletop Grow Light. It arrived and did I not work at all.

I reached out to customer service and they informed me that my model had been discontinued so they would replace it with the Trio Grow Light instead. They are very different lights but I said ok.

Provided all the necessary information on January 20th which included what option I wanted and my address. I didn’t hear back but figured I’d get some sort of notification that it was shipping.

2 months later it hit me that I hadn’t heard anything or received anything.

I replied to the exact same email chain asking what the deal was. Customer Service replies the next day and said “We are sorry to hear that you missed our email on January 20th.” and that they needed to know what option and my address.

I was baffled considering the email I replied all on was the email where I told them the option and address. Meaning they opted to blame me for not replying when I did in fact do as requested.

I tell them the information they want again and they finally confirm and ship the trio light.

It arrived, I set it up, and now the app doesn’t work, you can’t login. It’s been known too. The fact that it’s an issue that has been going on this long without correction is quality problem.

Having smart devices that heavily rely on an app should not never go weeks of time where the app doesn’t work.

Yes you can manually turn it on, but all the intended features that you want access to are in a non-functional app.

I’ve always wanted AeroGarden and this has completely made me rethink getting anything else from the brand.

There has been no communication as to when the app will work again. This review is 2 stars because the lights work, but the quality or service, and lack of the functioning app pretty much have ruined it.

App login broken

The app will not allow users to log in, please fix the app

Can’t sign in

Started using the app a week ago and it just skipped the login page. Set up my two gardens no problem. Now it asks me to sign in but I cannot create an account nor login with Apple or Google. It just sends me right back to the same screen every single time. Horrible!

App not working

I have not been able to log into my account to reset my to light to automatically turn on and off, since losing power last week. I try resetting password and that didn’t work. What’s wrong?

Can’t login again

Yet again the app login is broken and I can’t control my lights. Seems like this happens every couple of months.

Awful App that won’t login

This app has always been a little clunky. However, recently I’ve been unable to login to my account or create a new account at all. Even after resetting my password, it still won’t recognize my account. This has been an issue in the past and multiple people have reported about it. I guess it was never fully fixed. Unfortunately, that means all of the features of my grow light are inaccessible to me. For a technology that is supposed to be so advanced and “smart”, whoever designed this app was pretty stupid.

App doesn’t work

Ever since AeroGarden was bought, the new account I had to make never works. Password doesn’t work, okay reset the password, now that new password doesn’t work, okay they can email you a one time code, well that doesn’t work either. All this just to get some stupid lights to work

App login stopped working

I’ve had it for less than a week and it won’t let me log in. Keeps saying password is wrong even though it had me change it, then when I do passcode it says error so I can’t get into it whatsoever to resync my light.

Unable to login

Not able to login no matter what I try. I’ve tried Gmail, creating a new account, my email address, etc. I have everything updated and it’s still not working. So now I’m not able to use my grow lights.

It did not let me sign in when I tried to figure out this problem, please

App won’t work

Purchased a grow light and saw it can be connected to the app for more features. Wouldn’t let me create an account, then it wouldn’t let me verify my email address. I can login on the website fine but the app will not work.

App Does Not Work

I set up the account with no problem. I set the light hours to begin at 7:30am and end at 10:30pm. This change did take place because the lights went out at 10:30pm. But in the morning, they came on at 6, waking me up. I tried to go into the app to change the time, and it wanted me to log in again, but could never get to the page to input login info-just kept trying to load. I uninstalled the app and redownloaded it and while I got a little farther, I still can’t fully log in to access my settings. I just keep getting the spinning circle, trying to load. I use google to authenticate and i actually did get a security message from them to I am logged in - just cannot use the app at all. As I look at the other reviews, I can see this is not an isolated issue—the company simply does not care. I went to adjust the times manually and the screen says it’s set to come on at 7:30! Yet here we are.

App Connection Fails

App does not update device settings when trying to set time and color hue of light. It barely turns it on or off from the app. My light is basically no longer customizable.

DOES NOT WORK

This is a total joke and a waste of your money

App stopped working

Was good until it stopped working. My password was no longer accepted and could not create a new account. Update: app is working again. Thank you to developers for listening.

App stopped working

Just realized I was no longer receiving notifications for our farm xl. Attempting to login to no avail. Please help!

Unable to login

Can’t login. Tried Apple, Google, and AeroGarden account. I will be returning this grow light since the app functionality is broken.
