Love that I can control the lights from my phone and change to any pattern I want.

My life is so much more beautiful because of my Gouly light and app.

Horrible app

I hate this app, constantly kicks me out of my permanent lighting. I really wish I could switch for something else

Lights are great

Love the lights and app

Garbage app

I wish there was another option because this app is absolute garbage makes the lights pointless because the never works properly!!!!

Very unreliable app

This app is not reliable and does not work much of the time. I have been on video chat with support team, but the same problem persists .

Amazing Customer Support

Excellent customer support. I had an issue with my permanent lighting system and contacted Gouly for help. Their support team responded quickly, helped troubleshoot the problem, and connected me with a local dealer. The dealer came out the next morning, fixed the issue, checked the entire system, and explained everything clearly. Gouly really stood behind their support and made sure I was taken care of. Amazing company and very impressed with the overall experience!

App fails constantly

Hard to work the app as it constantly does not allow me access or kicks me out. Lights also fail all the time!

Response from developer

We’re very sorry you’ve been dealing with this repeatedly. Being unable to reliably access the app and having your lights fail at the same time is understandably frustrating. We’d like to work with you directly to understand what’s happening rather than have you keep troubleshooting this on your own. Please contact us on WhatsApp at +86 180 2879 1189, and we’ll help you identify the cause and get both the app and your lights working properly.

So far so good

Only had my lights for about a week now, but enjoying them so far. The app is pretty good. The number of options there are is almost overwhelming lol. Haven’t even come close to checking them all out yet.

Response from developer

Thank you! We’re glad you’re enjoying your new lights and the app so far. There’s definitely a lot to explore, so have fun trying out all the different options and finding your favorites. We really appreciate your support and hope you continue enjoying your Gouly lights!

Good but could better

Works fine. UI needs some consideration. Look is a bit busy. Layout is intuitive. Overall easy to use. I like the multi chipset possibilities

Response from developer

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We’re glad you find the overall layout intuitive and easy to use, and that you appreciate the flexibility of supporting multiple chipset types. We also understand your point about the UI feeling a bit busy. We’re continuing to refine the app from the user’s perspective, with a focus on making the interface cleaner and easier to understand without sacrificing functionality. We really appreciate the constructive feedback!

Works Amazing

Love the setting and control you get with this app. Lots of patterns and zone control is great

Response from developer

Thank you so much! We’re glad you’re enjoying the variety of patterns and the flexibility of the zone control feature. It’s great to hear that the app is giving you the control you want over your lighting. We really appreciate your support!

Lights

So many bugs in the app. It doesn’t even know how many lights I have for some of the patterns and turns them all off. Quite disappointed by the features and quality. Govee was light years ahead

Response from developer

We’re very sorry for the frustrating experience. If certain patterns are causing all of your lights to turn off instead of displaying the effect correctly, we’d like to help get that resolved. Please contact us on WhatsApp at +86 180 2879 1189, and we’ll work with you directly to identify what’s happening. We also appreciate the comparison with Govee. We know there’s a lot we can learn from products that deliver a great user experience, and feedback like yours helps us understand where we still need to improve.

Disappointed

Continual problems with this app. Won’t connect half the time. It says there’s new firmware, but it doesn’t update. I would not call this a user-friendly app, even when it is working.

Response from developer

We’re very sorry for the ongoing frustration. Regarding the firmware update, please make sure your phone is connected to the controller via Bluetooth before starting the update. Firmware updates cannot be performed through a Wi-Fi-only connection, which may be why the update isn’t completing. For the connection issue, we’d like to look into it further rather than guess at the cause. Please contact us on WhatsApp at +86 180 2879 1189, and we’ll help you troubleshoot it directly. We also hear your feedback about the app not being user-friendly. We’re actively working to design the app more from the user’s perspective, with a focus on making features easier to understand and everyday controls more intuitive. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention.

Useless trash-a-plenty

This is an app designed by people with no concept of what is functionally important.

The amount of features in this app that are complete garbage are limitless, but try to connect the controller to WiFi.. where is that functionality?? Where do I set the time in the app? What time does it think it is since it has no internet connection??

Don’t worry though, there’s dancing light themes with music for DAYS!! Limitless stupidity is the core feeling while using this application.

Response from developer

hello, sorry for your bad experience, if you want to connect the controller, after you connect with Bluetooth, you need to click configure network mode and then connect with WIFI, apart from that, you can click https://www.youtube.com/@goulyled and there are some videos to teach you how to use this app, feel free to send email to support@goulylight.com to contact us from help. Thank you for your cooperation.

Gouly lights

Fantastic product and app. They work hard to continue to add new items and update the products!

Response from developer

Thank you so much! We’re really glad you’re enjoying both the Gouly lights and the app. Our team is always working to add new features and improve the experience, so it means a lot to know those efforts are being noticed. We really appreciate your support!

Always failing to login

Unintuitive and very hard to trouble shoot, cheap Chinese app

Response from developer

We’re sorry you’ve been having trouble logging in and that the app has been frustrating to use. You shouldn’t have to troubleshoot this on your own. Please contact us on WhatsApp at +86 180 2879 1189, and we’ll work with you directly to identify the login issue and help get you back into the app.

Best app

Gouly lighting is the best app on the market for lighting.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear that you consider Gouly the best lighting app on the market. We really appreciate your support and will keep working to make the Gouly experience even better!

Great

Works great on my house!

Response from developer

Thank you! We’re so glad to hear your Gouly lights are working great on your home. We really appreciate your support and hope you continue enjoying them!

App forgets device - update

Previous versions of the app worked fine but now the app isn’t remembering the device and have to manually connect to the controller every time. Does Gouly do QA on this app or just push out versions as soon as they are done?

Update: now the app doesn’t connect to my controller. Says the default pin is wrong.

Response from developer

We sincerely apologize for the login issue you experienced on iOS. The SDK limit error was caused by a temporary system capacity restriction during the app transition. The issue has now been fully resolved, and login/registration should be working normally again. Could you please try again and let us know if everything is functioning properly on your side? If the app is now working as expected, we would truly appreciate it if you might consider updating your review. Your feedback really helps us continue improving and supporting our customers. Thank you again for your patience and understanding — we truly value your support.

Great App

This app is as solid as any other cloud hub based controller app for LED permanent lights. It handles timers well, and has a number of preset patterns included already. Individual pixel control is a game changer over other apps. I’m looking forward to how this develops as it checks all the boxes for me.

Response from developer

Thank you for the great feedback! We’re especially glad to hear that individual pixel control has made such a difference for you, and that the timers and preset patterns are working well for your setup. It means a lot to hear that the app is checking all the boxes for you. We appreciate your support and look forward to making the Gouly experience even better!

Love the lights hate the app

The app doesn’t want to stay connected. I have to connect Bluetooth first then I can connect to WiFi. It’s a mess! The lights are beautiful!

Response from developer

We’re really glad you love the lights, and we’re sorry the connection experience has been so frustrating. Bluetooth is used during the initial connection process before setting up Wi-Fi, but once your controller is properly connected to Wi-Fi, you shouldn’t have to repeat that process every time. If your app keeps losing the connection, please contact us on WhatsApp at +86 180 2879 1189. We’ll help you figure out what’s happening and get the connection working the way it should.
