It seems to be tied to the connections being dropped, and when I open the software, it goes crazy trying to reconnect to the lights and just throws random commands turning the panels on and off rapidly or won’t connect at all. I bought six of these lights and they were not cheap so I’m feeling a bit disappointed. ### 3/5 — consistency. Needs work. Fails to maintain settings *2025-10-21, version 2.2.6* Not a paid for review by Vine or anything else. This is an honest review. Warts and all Nice color lights but no different thsn any other led light like this whether they are square or in a bar. The setting keeps reverting to half of the full intensity no matter how many times I set it and make it a settimg preset. These lights do not have a consistent timing option. The app should have the ability to turn off and on at a certain times but it does not work that way. There is very little instruction as to how to do this if it is even possible What instructions there are, are not intuitive or appropriately American translated aka Ok if you don't speak English but translation to English is confusing or missing full directions. This is a fault of Amazon for not insisting or providing a better translator Amazon should deal with this issue for as much as they charge the sellers. at least have staff who's user-friendly and will be tasked with trying the instructions and then correct them Basically tje Instructions are lacking altogether. The app designers failed to take into account the different iPhone sizes so the on off button actually hides underneath the top of the menu bar so one cannot access it again software quality control stupidity to not have made this more user-friendly. In addition one cannot access the additional settings because they're also under the top menu bar and there's no way to tap on them without just initiating Apple settings Basically you have to set both the lights to one color and that is it. It is not like Melpro Square wall washers where i can have a variety of options from the amount of time it stays on to the variety of cycles i can create. I don't want a wall washer that is super complex I just want it to be able to be let's say purple and orange for Halloween. The lights are set to the same light and that is it - there is no option to alter them to be contrasting. I was provided with one remote for two units I don't want to get into DJ professional DMX style wall washers. Just had hoped to get something that was a little more user-friendly and would provide me some contrast or variables that have to be a software engineer in order to operate With that said these are fine lights if you just want to set them to one color and leave it and turn them on yourself or get a reliable timer So far I just turned them on at duskand turned them off in the morning because every time I set a time for let's say for 5 hours it never works So the price is not bad and if you don't mind having to turn the lights off manually or on the color is good, the price is right. ### 2/5 — Redesign *2025-10-15* Please please please move the power button to the bottom of the screen! The power button in the application is right in the middle of the notch on the top of the screen for newer iPhones ### 2/5 — Wrong size/format on iPhone 15/16/.. with notch. *2025-09-27, version 2.2.6* Wrong size/format of app don’t work good on iPhone 15/16 with notch.Menu and settings not reachable. ### 4/5 — Not bad *2025-09-01* I use these lights for my gig.The brightness is impressive, but the only drawback is the limited controls. I hope they provide more options for us to be more creative with the lights. Nonetheless, I still appreciate their affordability and overall performance. ### 3/5 — Needs updating *2025-02-07, version 2.2.6* App isn’t working the same for newer iPhones with Dynamic Island. Please help us the app is great otherwise ### 2/5 — Bluetooth operations *2025-01-31* The Bluetooth no longer works on any of the lights. There seems to be an app issue. The light worked great once you figure out the loop hole to use all the lights at one time. The app only handles 10 to 12 lights at one time. Sometimes I have to set lights then unplug some to set the rest. Now all the light quit responding at the same time. I even had a couple at home from the same purchase time that also no longer responding. It put me in a bind because we use the At our venue and didn’t work anymore and we had to rent. Now we will get new ones with different vender. The ones we have now are useless with out Bluetooth operation. I would be surprised if this is read and is an easy fix. If there is a fix then I will fix the review. ### 2/5 — App screen sized wrong for iPhone 15 *2024-11-08* The setting and menu buttons literally sit in clock and battery icons at top. And the power button sits under the camera at top. If this is the only app that controls the light bar I will have to return it. ### 4/5 — Daniel Pagen *2024-10-27, version 2.2.6* G6 ### 3/5 — Needs Update for iPhone 15 *2024-06-12* The app works well enough but on my new iPhone 15 Pro, the buttons at the top of the screen (menu, power, settings) are too far up on the screen so they're almost impossible to push (like they've bled off the screen). They need to be located lower on the screen. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t interact well *2024-06-09* The view doesn’t align to the iPhone 15. The latest version is installed but I can’t tap any of the top buttons because it is stretched too far up. ### 3/5 — Needs update for iPhone 15 Dynamic Island *2024-04-08* Overall it works great on my older iPhones. But it very much needs an updated version to work around the Dynamic Island and screen shape of the iPhone 15, because some important buttons are not clickable on the latest iPhone. Please release an update to make it usable again. ### 1/5 — Can’t use app (needs update for new iPhone) *2024-01-31, version 2.2.6* Cannot touch icons on the top of the screen bc of the Dynamic Island on the new phones. UI needs to be adjusted to fit the new screen. Unfortunately I can’t even turn the thing on bc of it. Useless. ### 4/5 — Xheki *2023-12-30, version 2.2.6* Muzik shqip ### 1/5 — IT WONT LET ME CONNECT *2023-10-27, version 2.2.6* I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR HOURS AND HOURS AND IT WILL NOT CONNECT I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS AND IT DOSE NKT WORK ### 1/5 — App Used To Be Great - Limited Functionality iPhone 15 Pro Max *2023-10-13* Using iPhone 15 Pro Max you can no longer use the device management drop down to control multiple lights. The menu sits right under the clock and you aren’t able to access it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t connect to device *2026-04-15* Doesn’t connect to device and no clear guidelines on how to ### 1/5 — Let There Be Lights *2025-05-25* The app doesn’t consistently connect to the lights, which means you must turn the lights on by physically touching the power button on each light. I was unaware of this detail. The lights were to be placed at different heights some unreachable without a ladder. This doesn’t work at all for the purpose the lights were purchased. ### 1/5 — ミュージックライブラリ選択でフリーズする *2025-04-28, version 2.2.6* ペアリングはライトの電源が落ちていても自動でできました しかし思ったよりも機能は少ないです そしてわたしの音楽ライブラリが膨大なせいか、音楽リンクのタブを開くとフリーズしてエラー落ちして全く使い物になりませんでした ### 1/5 — Update the App! *2025-02-01, version 2.2.6* It's important to update the app environment to the latest iPhone models. The buttons at the top of the app clash with the native top buttons on the iPhone 15 and 16 Pro Max, making them difficult to operate. I suggest putting a slider bar to dim the intensity in music, style, and tape modes. The BT connection with the lights is intermittent. It is probably because there is no security code for pairing. When there are many BT devices nearby, the connection and the instructions of the application stop working correctly. ### 1/5 — Unable to add light *2024-10-14, version 2.2.6* I’m only able to add 1 of the 2 lights. Do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Look elsewhere *2024-08-03, version 2.2.6* I am working on bypassing this for my outdoor lighting. The sensors require that I am close by to function and disconnect when I leave. Instructions are marginal at best. ### 1/5 — ペアリングする方法が説明の中で無くわからない *2024-06-18, version 2.2.6* アプリの中でペアリングする方法がわからない。グループの作成などはできるのですが照明器具を登録する方法が説明の中でもわからないです。 ### 1/5 — Non-stop flickering *2024-06-15, version 2.2.6* These lights just blink off and back on, then start randomly cycling through every color. Would not recommend ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2024-03-11, version 2.2.6* I bought 2 of these to put in my room however only one will connect to the app my other 40 dollar light is non-useable I’m upset ### 1/5 — Terrible app and product *2024-03-03* This app is terrible. They sell these like you can have them on a timer but they don’t tell you that you have to physically push a button to turn them on every time. And then the every time the light goes off, it deletes all of your timer settings. What a waste of money. And a terrible Apple. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2025-10-07, version 2.2.6* Good ### 5/5 — Works well after 2 yrs *2025-10-02, version 2.2.6* Five stars ### 5/5 — APP NO LONGER WORKS *2025-09-01* The bluetooth is not connnecting. Phone says it is, but the app is not controlling the light. The settings buttons are not lined properly on the newer model iPhones so it’s not usable. ### 5/5 — Лылдыдвдчлвладшмлмшпщщсщмщсщсзащзза *2024-05-15, version 2.2.6* Таолаладалалаллалаллалалалаллабабадлалададбвлаьлалалвльалабаббабаьаьалабьаьаьвбвбьвьвьабвьвбабвбюабабабвббвбвбаббвюювбвюювювбвжвддвдвлвььвлвьвьвьбвлвбвбвллвогддвдвжждддвлвбвбвбвбвлвлвлвдвзщйзщылвлшйшцшлвлулудвлвдвлвлдвдвьвдвдвддвдвдвбдвдвдвдвджвжвжвджвдвжжвдвдвджвжвжвдвджвдвддвддвддвдвддвддлвлвлбвьвбвьтлтвтвьлвлвлвлвллвлвлдвдвдвлвддвлвлввдвлвлвдалаладвддвлвллвлдвддвддвдвддвдвдцщдвлвлвдвддвдвдвдвдвллвдвдвдлвдвдлвдвдвддлвлвллвдчлвллвлчлчлвллчлчлчочовлвловлвлвлвллчлвлллвллвллллллвлвлвбвьвьвдвлвлвллвлвлвлвллчдвдвддвдвжбчбадалалаьаьвьвьвллвлвдвлвлвлвдалалаллаладдадададалаллвл ### 5/5 — No se conecta con Alexa *2023-01-09, version 2.2.5* Es lo único malo que tiene.
