### 2/5 — Good light bad app

*2025-12-11, version 1.3*

App sucks. Lags. Crashes. Lights got stuck on during time change. The lights are great but I need a better app to control the light. It’s a PlayStation 5 with an Atari controller

### 2/5 — Won’t notify

*2025-12-07, version 1.3*

The app is cool but it never notifies you when the temp or humidity drops even if you have the notifications ON and everything it still won’t notify you please fix this

### 1/5 — Performance Review

*2025-11-08, version 1.3*

Crud. Whole system has crashed and no update yet. Very disappointing experience.

### 2/5 — App crash = total grow failure

*2025-11-08, version 1.3*

Been using the Gorilla Grow app and system for about six months. When it works, it’s fine—but when it crashes (which it’s done twice for me), you instantly lose control of everything. No fans, no lights, no temp or humidity control. And there’s no manual override! The fan shuts off, lights stop following the schedule, and you’re basically stuck waiting for the app to come back. That’s a huge fail on Gorilla’s part—no grow system should rely 100% on a glitchy app.

PLEASE get the app back up and running soon.

### 2/5 — Needs improvements

*2025-11-08, version 1.3*

Decent system & app but there are major issues with the app/host going down. 3 times there have been issues that do not get resolved quickly and can cause damage to current grows. This affects the operation of lights and completely eliminates any option for the exhaust fan since there is no manual on/off switch. Proceed cautiously while they work on getting host operations figured out. Hopefully resolved soon…

### 5/5 — Life just got much easier!!

*2025-05-07*

This app is radical! Super simple and well laid out. It honestly made the whole process of growing so much easier and straightforward. Stoked to see what other products are in the works for this app!

### 5/5 — Connected and Running!

*2025-05-07, version 1.0*

This is an excellent first edition of the GXi ecosystem app. I was able to connect to each of my Gorilla GXi devices, and I’m now running everything in the app! I can’t believe how easy the setup was-no wires, no research. Plug and play. I can’t wait to see what you guys add to the ecosystem next!

### 1/5 — Broken?

*2026-05-22, version 1.4*

The fan won’t even try to connect to another network when you hit finish. Their phone number doesn’t work. They do not reply to emails. Don’t purchase.

### 1/5 — No support

*2026-05-19, version 1.4*

If you need help, gorilla most likely wont care… gxi connectivity is spotty, once it disconnects you may Be screwed

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-05-11, version 1.4*

Good light garbage
Software with no internal memory. Ask for refund .

### 1/5 — Trash freezes all the time.

*2026-04-13, version 1.3*

The company is trash as well. Try to get a hold of people over their schedule appointments. No one ever calls you back all their products are useless. Unless you have Wi-Fi connection and there’s is the worst I’ve ever seen.

### 1/5 — Garbage - trash - waste of $$$

*2026-04-07, version 1.3*

This is the worst wast of money ever spent. Nothing but problems with the light, driver, WiFi connection. Lost two grows because of this trash system.   Half the time it loses connection to  WiFi. It’s not
My internet either!

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-04-02, version 1.3*

The app will not allow me to add anything, theres no way to control any of the items without the app and the only way to contact them about it is to send an email.

### 1/5 — Glitchy app

*2026-03-17, version 1.3*

The app doesn’t function properly. Everything has been a disappointment from this company.

### 1/5 — Notifications don’t work

*2026-02-02, version 1.3*

This is kind of making no sense isn’t the whole point of this so you can get notifications and control everything from the app? It’s very slow and the light control gets stuck when you try to lower or raise the intensity it takes a full cycle for it to change guys please your tech isn’t cheap today my exhaust fan for some reason went off line and my grown was at 100% humidity for 12 hours I never got a notification on any of my devices the app says notification channel not found this um acceptable for the high price I paid if I can give this app 0 stars I would

### 1/5 — Constant issues

*2025-12-05, version 1.3*

Manual lights were better options as the smart plugs are more reliable than the built in ones. Constant disconnects and issues with logging in and or changing pre existing settings. Would not recommend.

### 5/5 — Smooth & Easy just like I like it

*2026-05-19, version 1.4*

GGT has the best kit out there for your growing needs. Their kits make setup simple for growing the dankest flower at your home base even for idiots like me! The 
Smart Control makes it even more user friendly! Get it, you won’t regret it

### 5/5 — Solid app

*2026-03-17, version 1.3*

I ended up going with the full gorilla system and honestly it's been amazing so far. The standout piece for me is definitely the xi420 light. My plants have been growing so crazy dense under it, I've gotten some of my best harvests using this setup. When I was first setting everything up I had a small issue getting the light connected through the app, but their support team was awesome and helped me troubleshoot it pretty quickly. Really appreciated that. The app itself works well overall, but I do have a suggestion for the devs: it would be really nice if they added the ability to save multiple custom schedule presets instead of having to rebuild them every time. Other than that though, the system and the light have been incredible and I'm super happy I went with gorilla 👍

### 5/5 — Gorilla grow 🙌🏻

*2026-02-06, version 1.3*

I just recently purchased the 5x5 grow tent kit that they offer. It’s amazing! One harvest done and many more to come. I’m so happy with the results that I got and the app made this whole experience even better than I thought it would. Great job Gorilla Grow Tent for making my grows enjoyable again.

### 5/5 — Game changer! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2026-02-06, version 1.3*

This thing changed my life. Being able to access and change settings on my grow equipment from anywhere is a complete and utter gamer changer.

### 5/5 — love this app

*2026-02-06, version 1.3*

It is so very nice to be able to now control my light from my phone. It comes with presets for different stages of growth which as a new grower is very much appreciated. The independent channel control is also a game changer. Love being able to customize/supplement UV / IR %s as needed. My plants are stupid happy. 
Excited to see how it works with the rest of their GXi gear once I can afford to get the full system.

### 5/5 — The Best Harvest I’ve Ever Had!

*2026-02-06, version 1.3*

Really don’t understand the negative reviews. My setup up was quick and easy. The app itself is straight forward. Add the light, fan, and temp sensor into your tent and then set your controls. It’s unbelievable. There are presets for every stage of growth, which is awesome because I wasn’t really sure how to best use the UV and IR in the light.  You can also set a target temperature and the inline fan will turn up and turn down to keep you right at it.  Works really well. Also love the real time monitoring from my phone and the alerts if something goes out of range. Honestly surprised more people aren’t talking about this system.

### 5/5 — amazing app!

*2025-07-28*

It took me a sec to get familiar with the ui, but once I did, was not disappointed! It lets you seamlessly control all GXi gear so easily. I can literally dim my light from my phone, and control the light channels as well as their respective intensities individually. The automation and presets are a really nice touch. It also tracks your VPD history which really helped me fine tune and get my environment dialed in exactly how I wanted. Super cool how everything works together to make my grow very manageable. Cannot hype this up enough. Wish more companies were doing this. Highly recommend!!

### 5/5 — This app is Amazing!

*2025-07-28, version 1.1*

I can control everything now from my phone and all my gear is working togeher! So cool!

### 5/5 — New Grow system up and running!

*2025-06-14*

Got my new grow kit and i’m up and running. New Xi750, GXI fan, and GXI Temp & humidity paired up seamlessly with the app. Happy with everything so far!
