Minimally viable, I suppose
Just like everyone else, connectivity to my Monos is not durable and the light must be power cycled often (which is not very easy to do and will cause unnecessary wear and tear). Scheduling is odd, sliders and light controls are not very responsive.
The Monos itself is great, but overall user experience and joy of ownership is handicapped by the app.

App issues
Connected my floor plant via the app, but that’s all I can do. The only other option the app gives me for my floor plant is to turn it off, but when I tap the power icon, the app crashes/closes.

Must reconnect daily
I love these products. They are beautiful in every way. Biggest issue I have is that I’ve discovered if I leave the house or go off WiFi and reconnect my phone to my wifi, the lights won’t connect unless you unplug them and plug them back in. The connection is only last for the duration while you’re home. Once you leave, the connection is broken and you’ll have to unplug and plug them back in to get them connected. It’s a workaround. Albeit not a fun walk around. There has to be a fix that prevents the plants from dropping and not being able to reconnect after you’ve left your home and come back.

Don’t waste your money.
The worst non-functional app possible. Won’t connect to Fluora at all, which completely defeats the purpose. Don’t waste your money.
Connectivity Issues
I’ve purchased 2 fluoras & one monos. Both Fluoras consistently fail to pair with the WiFi. You will have to call and make an appointment to fix the issue. Troubleshooting and following directions has not worked . The product is great! But the app seems to be lacking. Without the app, the product capabilities are minimal.

Terrible Connectivity Issues
I’ve really tried to like this product. Unfortunately, it disconnects from the app at least once a week. And many times, reconnecting is a huge pain.
And the app hasn’t gotten any better over the past year. The adjustment sliders are not user friendly. The settings are constantly losing all of the parameters.
I have no idea how Apple even allows an app of this low quality in its store.
Regretting this purchase!

Disappointing
The Monos is a spectacular home lighting installation right out of Burning Man.
However, as beautiful as the LED pulses and changes color are, the iPhone app that controls it is buggy and won’t connect to the device or connects and won’t stay connected. I’ve followed the instructions and troubleshooting guide over and over and I’m sorry to say that the app needs work.
That being said, the default setting is still pretty cool and I’m keeping it anyway. I hope they continue to improve the app and push more updates so it lives up to its full potential.

Terrible app, doesn’t work
Too many bugs in this app, it simply does not work for such an expensive light. It’s junk. I’m returning this. The updates are too complex to understand
Crippled by technical issues
I bought 2 Monos lamps as soon as they were available. This is a elegant ambience effect lamp. Unfortunately, the only way to effectively program the colors, pattern, and brightness, is through the app, which never seems to be able to connect to either of my lamps. Additionally, it's frustratingly unable to find the lamps when detecting devices in pairing mode. The function button on the side, which must be held for several seconds, is inconveniently located and takes a good deal of pressure to depress. Maybe V2 of the lamp will be better.

This software is junk
The light itself is incredible. Love it. The software is complete junk. Every time I open up the software to do anything with the lights it reads “ firmware update required”. Literally every single time I go into the software it says this. The app is also very clunky and the images overlap one another on my screen. I have a newer iPhone this should not be an issue. Most of the time I can’t even get the software to recognize my plant, which is sitting right next to me. Please update your software immediately. This sucks.

Beautiful Product, Frustrating Connectivity
I own 1 Fluora and 2 Monos lamps. The app and connectivity issues are easily the worst and most frustrating part of owning these devices but, the company is working on it gradually. The issues don’t stop me from buying more Color and Light products personally, I love my Monos! However, it’s something to be aware of. In the current state, you’ll have annoying moments with the lights not responding or connecting to the app.

trash app
this app is absolute trash. I have to constantly delete and rediscover my plants once a week. It’s a guessing game when I open the app to see if they’re even connected and when they release updates they want you to go on your computer and do it which is so dumb and I don’t do that Just release an update through the app also you can’t run these on 5GHz network. It has to be a 2.4 GHz.

App does not work
Wow, I spent hundreds of dollars on 6 Monos lamps.
I can’t adjust or control them in any way as the app will not recognize the Monos…Bluetooth will not recognize the Monos. This renders the lamp 90% useless.
So frustrating.

Plants won’t connect
I love these products, except for the fact that I can never get them to connect! My mini floor Plant is so touchy that anytime you touch a stem they flash and you have to sit there and jiggle it in place again even though it’s firmly in! I feel like I have bricks right now because I can’t keep controlling them. Plus my app doesn’t look anything like the images in the preview for the app.
New app update: Now NOTHING will connect!!

Can never connect to plant
Can never get the app to connect to the plant. And then if by some magic it works, it will keep working until it suddenly stops again.
Why does this continue to have so many problems.
I pair my Monos and Fluora. I have to do a work around to update the Monos because it just doesn’t work on this app. I get it updated. All seems well. Two days later I open my app to change some lighting settings… “Connecting…” and it never does. This app has had problems for so long and it never seems to get better. Such a shame since the products are fun and neat… when you can actually access them.

Bare minimum - missing essential functions
It is able to pair and update the lighting systems. However, there’s oddly no way to sync two lights to the same settings so that must be done manually. The only way to turn off the lights is via the app - no widgets or Siri Shortcuts support unfortunately. Once all of the above is added I’d give it 5 stars. Unfortunately the lights are pretty limited by the app.
