### 1/5 — Update the App!!

*2026-07-26, version 1.2.3*

1 Star BC the app is so old and buggy. Please update the app and fix all the bugs. I love the BT Features but the app is always bugging out and constantly stuck on “Pairing in Progress..” even when I have tried multiple devices. I have the uprights and the bar. If you’re going to continue to sell the BT line please stay up to date on the App. 4 years since an update is not doing your clients justice for the ones who rely on these for every event. 5 stars for the product. Make the app just as good! Thank you!

### 1/5 — Will not pair lights.

*2026-05-15, version 1.2.3*

I have called Chauvet tech support. Was on the phone over an hour. Tried everything he suggested. I have an IPhone 14 pro max. The app can NOT find the lights. The tech then suggested that the lights might be bad. They are brand new. Not buying that. I can run them manually. But the app does not work.

### 2/5 — Need slower fade speed

*2026-04-19, version 1.2.3*

Even on the slowest setting the colors change too fast.  No fades from one scene to another. 

Need more options

### 1/5 — Zero stars! The app is useless!

*2026-01-11, version 1.2.3*

Chauvet makes amazing lighting but they can do some silly things! This BT air technology was one of them! I don’t even right reviews but I spent enough money with them to show my disappointment. The app is trash and never pairs properly. I only use my lights now for static color applications! Thanks chauvet for nothing!!

### 2/5 — Playback organizer is so buggy!

*2025-09-07, version 1.2.3*

My honestly only real complaint is when organizing playback page it acts like when you move a preset it will just push everything over and you squeeze the new one in between. But then when you drop the preset it that spot it actually just swaps it with the original preset in that spot, moving the original down to the bottom since that’s where new presets go automatically. 

Why even have the animation of it working how it should then completely disregard the layout when you drop the preset. Makes no sense. If you have any rhyme or reason to your layout it’s extremely easy to disorganize everything then it takes forever redoing it as you have to manually swap them all one by one until they fall in the correct order again. Please fix this….

### 5/5 — Perfect for changing colors

*2024-11-04, version 1.2.3*

This works great for all of my needs with my B3BT’s, it would be better if it could control me EZPar-56’s or the regular Par-56’s, or possible my moving heads, but I like using it!

### 3/5 — Need slower fade speed

*2024-11-03, version 1.2.3*

Even on the slowest setting the colors change too fast.

### 2/5 — Is this the best you can do BT air?

*2024-02-05, version 1.2.3*

This app really is a mess. You have to delete and re-and delete and re-add and sometimes you get all the lights. Sometimes you don't for seven lights. It has been crazy. I think we may get five. Somethings wrong with this and they need to fix whatever bugs are in it.

### 1/5 — app dont work

*2024-01-30, version 1.2.3*

Dont work with the latest os .

### 1/5 — Really? Only one FIXED color? No saved or presets?

*2023-08-24, version 1.2.3*

This app doesn’t need much to make it great. The biggest (and silliest) issue I can see is that you cannot save ‘FIXED’ colors. It would be so useful to be able to save a couple of basic preset colors rather than have to go into the color wheel/slider part and manually adjust EVERY SINGLE TIME. 
Even just a couple of saved FIXED colors. Heck, even a ‘back’ button to go back to the prior one you were using. 
If you want to get fancy, an option to transfer with crossfade from one fixed color to another would be perfect but I’d take just a basic switch. 

PLEASE READ THIS AND UPDATE!
