App works well I old version but works so no complaints
It’s great to be able to control my light but this is the worst UI I have ever seen.
I was really hoping that this would be much better than the standalone remote control controls. Instead, Fluval has taken what could’ve been a fantastic selling point and turned it into a downfall. Returned the whole unit because the app is so bad.
This app looks like nothing has been updated in 20 years. While functionally it works, the lack of options/control along with an aging UI is not acceptable in 2026.
Idk what people are taking about. As long as the lights have power I’ve never had any issues with this app. Awesome protect.
Another app needed for the marine 4.0 lights. That new app is awful.
Does not connect
I’ve had this app and these lights for years. Never a moment’s trouble. Plus, this older app is 100% superior to Fluval’s new “connect” app.
I bought these lights so it would work anytime I needed it to. Well if I'm not home or my Bluetooth is not on it doesn't work. That's ridiculous
Now have to return my fluval 4.0 because it refuses to connect …..
The lights themselves are awesome. But unfortunately the app that you need to control them is garbage. It seems old and outdated and it’s always a gamble If I can even get the lights to connect, so changing anything with them is not really an option because even if I can finally manage to get one to connect so I can change it, it is very unlikely I will be able to get the other one to connect to be able to make them do the same thing. I would have switched them out a long time ago, but unfortunately these are the lights that come with the 90G Fluval Siena, so I’m kinda stuck with them on that tank. But I run hygger lights on just about every other tank I have and those work great. They are simple, great for plant growth and a fair price. No app needed, I just use the 24/h mode and have it run from 8-8.

It would be nice if they would at least try and update this app to make it more user friendly. Clearly people aren’t satisfied with it. The lights are basic but get the job done. Will be upgrading soon.
Light works wonderfully, just some thought through programming and all good
True too use app will not work also can’t get it off my I phone still shows if messes phone up had too turn phone off then restart . What a shame spend lots of money on a product that you can’t use 😡😡
The app is worse than junk. It is a fraud.
I only put one star because it made me I highly don’t recommend would’ve gave it zero considering the fact that it’s probably the worst app that exist or at least that I’ve ever used. Don’t waste your time when I allow it to search for Bluetooth devices that says 50s found in the area then it shows a oven that’s like three houses down for me and that’s it.

Unfortunately, this app appears to be completely non-functional. I’m able to populate bluetooth devices but it won’t let me interact with any of the choices or let me connect to anything. It’s a shame to return an entire light just because the app doesn’t work, but these clowns made the light to be entirely dependent on the app. This will be my last time ever buying a Fluval product. You don’t “accidentally” abandon your app at an iOS 9 level of sophistication- WHILE you’re still selling your hardware. Greed plain and simple.
