Gen 2 Gouly is perfect. Navigation is easy. Timers are awesome. Very happy ### 5/5 — Great work GOULY! *2023-09-04, version 1.0.6* This version 3 controller has fixed all of the issues associated with the previous 2 versions. Well done! ### 5/5 — Huge upgrade from the previous app *2023-08-15* We love the new app with the lights on our house. It’s been so much easier to use and is a lot more stable of an operating system. We love the prebuilt patterns. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2025-11-13, version 2.3.6* The functionality of this app has got to be the absolute worst I’ve ever used before. It’s slow, and has a hard time connecting to the lights. I used to be able to create a timer for the lights, but recently the timer function on their website has stopped working. I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling as well as using a different phone, but the timer feature still doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Firmware update problems *2025-11-04, version 2.3.5* We just had Gouly lights installed and continuously get requests for firmware updates for the app. Despite going through the update process, we get the request over and over again. So frustrating. Additionally the app needs to be more intuitive like the gemstone app. Please Gouly app programmers get your act together! ### 1/5 — Worst app ever. *2025-05-25* After downloading the upgrades, the controller won’t upgrade. After trying to upgrade you lose all your saved patterns. You spend hours trying to get the app back to where you can use it again. Shame on Lux lighting for using this app. Have tried to contact Lux lighting and Gouly, no replies from either. Very dissatisfied. ### 1/5 — Timer GLITCH *2025-01-14* There’s a glitch in the app when you setup the timer. It continues to glitch out if I setup a sunset/sunrise timer and when I manually schedule a timer to set times. This should not be happening especially since the developers just recently deployed a fix for the timer issue on the app. I need to use the timer without having to deal with the lights that always turn OFF at 8:45pm after turning on at 5:30pm. Please fix this amateur bug asap! To developer, THE APP/ firmware IS UPDATED (DUH) .. timer still fails to function correctly. **Developer response:** Already fixed. Please update app and firmware update. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Timer GLITCH *2024-11-29* There’s a glitch in the app when you setup the timer.

Features frequently don’t work. **Developer response:** Fixed it. Please update app and firmware update. Thank you so much ### 4/5 — Awesome and getting better *2025-11-14* It’s nice to see as the app keeps getting refined and improved. They’ve made significant improvements and additions in the last six months. I appreciate that. Room for improvement: There’s a couple things that seem not to be finished or work yet. but it’s got everything I wanted to celebrate. ### 4/5 — Awesome and getting better *2025-08-15* The best part of the app is how many different animations GOULY has developed. It’s still very Chinese but the price was right and I love my lights! Keep it up GOULY! ### 4/5 — Now that’s better *2024-01-26, version 1.1.2* Regretfully my vendor disappeared but I reached out to Gouly directly and they shipped a new controller to me. Installed it myself and found it to be way better than previous versions. Thanks Gouly and keep improving if you can. ### 4/5 — App is ok. needs fixes *2023-11-13, version 1.1.0* App is easy to use with good amount of patterns. Few issues: Daylight savings doesn’t work even if we change the region. Needs fix. Connectivity issues after resetting the controller. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy App *2025-11-27, version 2.3.6* Starise Lighting got us set up with this app, super easy to use.

It has much more capability. You can set your lights to a timer and use music. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
