### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-05-28, version 2.1*

I was an early adopter on BioLite products and loved this app when it came out it has only gotten worse with every update and hasn’t even been updated in more than 6 years I still use my BioLite lights that “work” with the app not sure how it works with the fire pit as I don’t have one but on to what’s wrong 

Flickering when changing colors 

Battery completely inaccurate - use to work great 

Charging completely inaccurate - again use to work pretty well 

I guess the app’s been forgotten about but not sure why as the fire pit is still available

### 1/5 — No help

*2025-06-09, version 2.1*

This app does nothing. Any advice? I’m going to delete it.

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2023-12-03, version 2.1*

Definitely need an update

So many things are buggy 

Very disappointing

### 1/5 — Trash

*2023-11-22, version 2.1*

The Bluetooth never connects to the battery pack and the battery pack never turns off. You can not turn the fan on. Bio lite does not have good products

### 1/5 — Horrible App. Doesn’t Reflect Well On The Company

*2022-10-30, version 2.1*

I’ve spent a lot of money on Biolite products only to realize they offer zero support. The app to the base lantern xl hasn’t been updated in YEARS!  What started as a great idea, company with excellent products is fizzing out and letting their customers down. There is a lot of other products out there that I’d rather buy now. 

Nothing the app is supposed to do works. The lamp is nothing more than a heavy brick with light. 

I’m not buying from these charlatans ever again.

### 3/5 — Battery Indicator Does Not Work

*2022-07-10, version 2.1*

I’ve had the Base Camp Lantern XL for 5 years and use it sparingly. The lamp works ok, but the app is supposed to tell you how much life is left on the battery charge and it does not even come close to how much the lantern says it does. This wasn’t always the case… when it was brand new it worked. It’d be nice if BioLite would update the app or offer a fix but it looks like they have a habit of abandoning their products and discontinuing support for them.

### 1/5 — Requires an update and overhaul

*2021-09-02, version 2.1*

Not sure what’s going on with the app but it’s not working. Went to use the app to control the base Lantern XL only for it to not be able to find my unit, but somehow was able to find six (6!)others. What is going on BioLite?

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2021-04-13, version 2.1*

I downloaded the app and was using it to control my fire pit in under 30 seconds.
It works brilliantly 5 stars

### 1/5 — App is not stable

*2021-04-02, version 2.1*

Constantly have to re-pair which means that the proximity control is virtually worthless. Gives completely inaccurate readings as to remaining battery life.

### 3/5 — White color spectrum issues

*2021-03-02, version 2.1*

Nice app except for the white color tone spectrum which can only be adjusted if you save it as a shortcut. No matter where you move the dial, the lamp shines cold bright light instead of the warm tones selected. Pls fix.
