App is broken
Unable to log in due to an API issue for months
Unusable now
Before it worked now I can’t even logging
App no longer functional
Used to work well but now says api remote no longer available
Suddenly stopped working
Had the devices for over a year and a half. Moved to a new place with a new WiFi network and suddenly I can’t add devices, as the app locks up when I try.
Great until about a month ago.

Totally Unintuitive App only half works
Gosh I’ve had the BlissLights Sky Lite Evolve for over a year, created an account with BlissHome and it worked with the app and with Alexa for a little while. But then and it just suddenly stopped working with Alexa. I can see it on my network, although investigation through the app tells me that the IP address it gets is not even in the range of the network that we have so I’m perplexed as to how I’m even able to turn it on and off because my router sees it but reports an IP address that does make sense so I suspect it’s the app itself that has problems — not the device or our network. Beyond the connectivity issue the app itself is totally obtuse. For now I can’t do much with it other than turn the unit on and turn it off, and change a few settings. I still can’t link it back with Alexa. I get an error that doesn’t tell me very much. I’ve tried decoupling it from Alexa and re-coupling it and that doesn’t work either. Based on the dismal ratings the company’s linking skill gets online at Amazon I’m not alone. Someone needs to spend some serious time taking a look at how they’ve set these devices up because right now I’m not very happy with it. For the life of me I don’t understand why manufacturers don’t get that their apps used with these devices require as much attention to detail as do the devices themselves. And since they’ve come out with a newer projection device you would think would use the same app for control, they’ve written a completely different and new app for that device. It says they’ve pretty much abandoned this app. I know I’d remember if it had been updated anytime within recent memory. So disappointing.

PLEASE FIX
It stopped pairing with my alexa in July and has not worked since. I can still control in the app but the value is being able to pair it with smart home device. When it worked it was great.
Doesn’t work like it used to
Won’t work properly. Moved to a new house, set it up and the schedule won’t work.
Downgraded to one star
From only two, before.
This app hasn’t been updated in three years.
Can’t recommend Blisslights at all, now. Much better products on the market, with apps that work, and are updated.
Look elsewhere for lighting!
___________________________
I have over a dozen Evolves, four Velarus lights, and four H20 globes…and this app almost makes me regret buying every single one of them.
I don’t have the connection problems other reviewers seem to have; initial setup was straightforward enough.
BUT.
If the wifi goes out, the devices will not automatically reconnect. Which means I have to reconnect around 20 devices every…time…that…happens.
Unacceptable. Govee figured this out, why can’t Blisslights?!
The globes simply do not respond to the app except in the most random fashion. I have four of those; setting each one to the same theme produces four separate results, none of them correct.
I also have a Blisslights Radia. That one often just crashes the app entirely.
In general, this app is buggy, slow, and half-baked — many options don’t work, entire sections are labeled in Chinese, and the whole thing us just sloppy.
Boooo! Fix this, Blisslights! Your lights are great, but this app is terrible.

Didn’t work
I can’t even add the device. I’ve turned everything off and on, uninstalled app reinstalled etc. I knew it was too good to be true for $19.99. Wish there was a zero star since I can’t do anything.
It does work eventually - Tips
Took hours to get this version 1.2.0 to work. They don't make it easy.
First - you MUST "link your email". It doesn't work with Apple's "Hide My Email" - I used a burner gmail and it worked fine.
My advice is to look around the app (find the Bluetooth switch under EZ mode - you need both Bluetooh AND a 2.4 GHz WiFi. You won't see the color adjustment screens shown here until you link an email. Go thru all the apps settings - privacy, notifications, etc. You need to turn everything on, but you can opt out of advertising and such.
They want every permission, you have to agree to all kinds of stuff, it's non-intuitive (even after you get it working) but it does work to adjust all the settings and save it as a scene.
I have the Evolve wichi was a $20 bargain on Amazon. It was hard to get the colors, speed, and brightness of the blue stars as subtle as I wanted, but I got close - it'll work. Good Luck!

Support Abandoned This
This will not link to Alexa now. A billion tries, but I see a lot of people have had the same issue—for a long time. It feels like this was a scam—buy our products, and then we will abandon them, and make new ones under a different name.
No longer connects to Amazon
Bought this specifically because it worked with Alexa. After the last update it no longer connects to Alexa.
Stopped working with Alexa
Stopped working with Alexa out of the blue. It happened in the past and the problem got solved within 24 / 48 hours. It’s been 2 weeks and I still can’t connect the account to Alexa anymore. I literally bought this specific sky light because of the Alexa compatibility. Very, very disappointed that nothing is being done to fix the problem! 👎🏻

Don’t get it
You can’t connect your light show without proper wifi. It’s a kind of long process for absolute disappointment please do not try it I couldn’t even get this thing running for a second after trying hours
Lights excellent - app very buggy
I bought 2 Blissradias to replace some hue blooms I was using for Alexa-controlled night lights. The lights are very good value but the sotware is very buggy. On my iPad the initial screen often comes up as blank white and the only cure is to reboot. Also bringing up the intensity adjustment is very erratic, fails 90% of time. The app seems new and inadequately tested. Pity, because the harware is fine and very good value.

Not consistent at all
I have 2 for my kids room and they both took way too long to connect. Now that they are the functions on the app at horrible. Selection between the taps is like it doesn’t register that I’m clicking my screen and why isn’t this app connected to the BlissLights app. Why is it a separate app? Seems counterproductive

Trash app
Unusable. Freezes constantly. Terrible UI. Fix it
Lack of functionality
The remote control through Alexa worked flawlessly until about 2 months ago, then all of a sudden after an update it stopped. The app stated the device now needed to be “activated” and kept pushing for me to give my location. After following all the steps and troubleshooting for a while it just won’t allow the activation, so now I’m stuck using only the clunky app controller whenever I want to use the projector

I love your product and used to have an easy time navigating the app but now it’s super buggy please fix thank you!! (p.s. are you currently hiring for app dev or ui/ux?)
Unresponsive App
