This App has gotten way too complicated

This app you to be simple and straightforward. What the heck happened? Now th basics are difficult to find. This is NOT user friendly. I have old bulbs that don’t work any more, and I can’t even delete them from the app. It also routinely requires that everything be restarted to connect properly. Hate it enough to go out and get a whole new bunch of new bulbs that use a better software.

Unusable (for me)

The app tells me to turn on Bluetooth so I do that, and then it still says to turn it on after closing the app and reopening it, and doesn’t let me proceed. I guess either my particular copy of the bulb is defective and somehow is breaking the app, or my iPhone 17 is defective. I see this worked for other people, but I noticed the box for my particular copy of the bulb had already been returned at least once. I need the old version with the remote back, I had that for 5 years but the green went out.

constantly disconnecting

i love these lightbulbs but they NEVER stay connected. i have to delete and reset them all the time. the reset option never works, and i am constantly having to switch the bulbs out. i like the different colors but i don’t care about having bluetooth lights that bad when they don’t even work smh.

technology deficit

Found a better company with much better tech to work with

Unhelpful Widget Options

Ideally the widget would have the option to control GROUPS instead of devices. When you control a “device” it’s one singular lightbulb which isn’t helpful when trying to quickly control a room. To control a room you have to go through multiple buttons in-app which isn’t ideal.

Bad design

Light bulbs reset often and we lose our grouping setups and have to go through the setup flow almost everyday. Also… the iPhone widget only allows you to turn on/off individual bulbs and we can’t turn a whole group off

if only devices didn’t disconnect

i get this is a bit complicated. but it is soooo tedious. light decides it wants to disconnect randomly? then it messes up every single scene and group that it’s associated with. now we got different light bulbs versions that don’t always work together.

Good app but lacks some functions

Good app but lacks functions found on competitors apps. Things such as visual effects specifically during Halloween for colored lights and ambience. Lights are sometimes difficult to connect

Negative 5 stars

I bought one damn lightbulb thinking cool, I can turn it off from the app without having to get out of bed. yeaaaah... that's a hard NO! First off it has to have power to it at all times 24/7 or it doesn't work. What happens, you ask? It tells me to reset my router, and then to make sure i have b Bluetooth on, wifi on, and my personal favorite: move device closer to router. (The "device" is in my ceiling light socket.) After all of this, it repeats itself. The light worked for about the first 2 hours. Once I turned it off, it hasn't been back on. Only had the thing for 3 days and I'm ready to use it for target practice!
BOTTOM LINE:
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR YOUR DIME ON ANYTHING THIS COMPANY PUTS OUT!!! I'd use candles before buying their lightbulbs again.

Ads What the…

Really, ads. Would you just stop and have some integrity for the brand..? Don’t be a sell out like everyone else.

Great for controlling lights — please add Dark Mode

The Feit app does what I need for my smart bulbs and strips, and the core controls work reliably. My only real frustration is the all-white interface.
I almost always open the app at night to adjust lights, set schedules, or check scenes — exactly when a bright white screen is hardest on the eyes. A dark mode (or proper support for the system appearance setting) would make the app far more usable in the situations where people actually need it.
Plenty of other users have asked for this. Adding it would be a big quality-of-life improvement and would make the app much more pleasant to use after dark. Hope the team considers it soon.

They were great until they weren't.

I bought into the Feit ecosystem because I trust what Costco sells. After about about a year of using the smart RGB bulbs, they just stopped connecting.

There are many complaints on message boards about these bulbs and the awful customer service trying to fix the issues.

So I'm just going to leave my dissatisfaction here and try a different brand. It's a shame, it was great while it lasted.

Won’t connect

Won’t connect even right next to router and phone with perfect WiFi.

Promotional ads as notifications?

I will be searching for a new automatic lights company. I do not want promotional ads as notifications. Extremely annoying that I have no way to turn that off.

Don’t make me create an account to use my light

Don’t do it

Quirky

A couple of things ..1. Why can’t I change the app to dark mode? Because I definitely don’t want to be laying in my dark room adjusting my light timer on an app with a white background. ..2. Why isn’t the schedule button on the same side in the app no matter what function? The schedule button for outlets is on the left, the schedule button for the light bulbs is on the right. It’s just not uniform. Which seems odd. ..3. Why aren’t the instructions clearer? I have to google everytime how to set up a bulb to be the right color during the scheduled time. And the “if then” model only works, when it’s super simple.

DO NOT BUY THEIR LIGHTSTRIPS

I have four Feit lightstrips installed along the tops of my classroom walls, near a very high ceiling. They worked fine with my iPhone 14. Since switching to an iPhone 17 Pro Max, the app will no longer connect to them. Now all four are essentially useless.

Upgrading my phone should not make lighting I already bought and installed unusable. These strips are difficult to reach, so taking them down or replacing them would be a major hassle. I put time and money into making my classroom a better space for my students, and now I am stuck with lights I cannot control because the app fails at its most basic function.

There is nothing “smart” about lighting that becomes useless after a phone upgrade. This has been an infuriating waste of time and money. Feit, fix your app. I bought these lights expecting to use them beyond the life of one phone.

App doesn’t work properly

Terrible app , doesn’t detect bulbs , the ones detect stop functioning , lots of time wasted just to turn on a light ,
Why make simple things so complicated 🤷🏻‍♂️

Junk

The worst app when it comes to trying to connect anything to the app. The developer really needs to do it all over. Can’t even get a simple sync bridge to connect. Took all the lights and bridge and remote back and got a $586.97 refund and bought a good brand this time and had zero problems connecting everything.
