Amazing app!!

This app is by far the best app connected to any permanent lighting. A lot of my friends/family have permanent lighting from a different company and the biggest flaw with those guys is their app does not compare to Bosso’s!!

Not worth it

For how expensive this set of lights were, they are definitely not worth it. When they updated the app from wLED that was somewhat helpful. But our lights do what they want even on a schedule. To be able to display the lights, for the past four years, we’ve had to unplug the power. Plug it back in and then hope it pops on. The toggle on the app is not a guarantee either. We have been so frustrated since we got this four years ago.

App doesn’t feel native and seems janky

Really frustrating to be forced to watch instructional videos prior to being able to use the app.

Somewhat difficult

This app is not at all intuitive. It’s difficult to understand and figure out. Just turning the lights off is a major problem. Might be my age (73) but I’m the guy it needs to be designed for.

Made we watch 3 videos before I could use the app

Made me watch 3 videos before I could use the app. Just trying to have me purchase the premium package

Fake reviews

Most of the positive reviews I see are fake. I put these lights on my house and it is having constant issues. The lights bleed washing the wall with mixed colors that looks ugly, and the app is horrible. The schedule doesn’t work and it keeps dropping the signal. I had to replace the lights twice already as some went bad and it’s so hard to get hold of the dealer who installed it. Even the dealer once said he regrets he installed Bosso lights and suggesting to move to the other system he now adopted due to many such complaints he received from other clients. I’ll never recommend this company to anyone even if they offer you hefty discounts which is nothing but their sales tactics.

Forced ai

App is terrible. Forces you to watch videos periodically before able to access the app and its pure ai garbage.

Best app on the market

Best user friendly and functional app. Unlimited timers make it super nice. The presets are absolutely amazing! Their system has true white so it makes it much more elegant.

Great

Easy functionality and lets you do everything you want. Perfect app

Worst

Worst app I have ever encountered. Hate it. Wish I would have gone with a different company.

Worst product on the market

Don’t bother they don’t support their product.

Schedule setting not reliable.

I have had the system for a few months now and find the schedule setting unreliable. In the past month at least 60% of the time one of my zones do not come on using the schedule setting. Have to manually turn on. Also found that once you make a schedule it cannot be modified. For example at xmas had xmas lights tried to change lights to an everyday light and schedule kept going back to xmas lights. Had to creat another schedule. Now i have two zones not working at all. Shouldnt be this difficult.

New system

Bosso Lights app has been overall a great experience. Being able to apply schedules, do light selections, the nice presets, plus my wife likes the menus so she uses it.

My only gripe is that my installer used two controllers for our property and I have to separately choose each controller and apply presets. Since the house is wired in left to right, it would be nice if they allowed virtual linking of the controllers as one whole unit. This would also allow patterns to flow over into the next controller and not look separated.

Horrible

The accent lighting is supposed to remain solid; however, the lights are malfunctioning.

We are becoming increasingly frustrated, as we were informed that someone would be out today to fix either issues with the app, lights or both, yet we received no notification that no one would be arriving. As a result, we spent the entire day at home waiting. We understand that unexpected issues can arise, but timely communication is essential.

We have had these lights for approximately two months, and they have only functioned properly for about five weeks. Given the $3,200 investment, this situation is understandably difficult and disappointing.

Please let us know how and when this will be addressed. We would like this resolved as soon as possible.

Install

Marco installed our lights and was very knowledgeable and helpful. It was very cold 21 degrees and Marco never complained about anything.

Bosso smart

Love it

Best app

I genuinely don’t think any of these 1 star reviews have used the app ever. This is the most intuitive permanent lighting app on the market. Love my Bosso app so easy to use and I can book out my whole year in it so I never have to manually turn off or turn on my lights ever!

Fix immediately

Can’t have a system run on an app that works on a thread.

Not enough FX features and options

Maybe try to incorporate an FX section that emulates Light o Rama. It would be great to be able to create FX instead of using the mediocre stuff that is available...oh and stop with the updates and videos you have to watch. Nobody wants to update their app every time they open it up or watch your videos.

Frustrating

This is frustrating. The AI never works. It’ll get the colors, but I’ll never do any of the effects. Then I just did the update and I had to re-enter my Wi-Fi info and it won’t connect.
