### 1/5 — Another poorly designed app

*2026-08-24, version 7.6.10*

If I need internet access to “log in” to an accout just to turn on a Bluetooth lamp three feet away from me, the designers of this system should all be fired. This is idiotic. I bought the lamp, get out of my way and let me control it.

### 5/5 — Operation

*2026-08-23, version 7.6.10*

The process from start to finish is relatively pretty easy. The hard part is deciding where you want to install the lights, fans etc.

### 5/5 — Finally fixed

*2026-08-23, version 7.6.10*

Finally fixed app launch slowness after a long time.

### 5/5 — Very satisfied

*2026-08-23, version 7.6.10*

Very easy to use and products are amazing

### 1/5 — Ahh

*2026-08-23, version 7.6.10*

The new update completly ruined everything that made this app good

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. Avoid

*2026-08-22, version 7.6.10*

I bought some water leak devices. Downloaded the app. It’s awful, has trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, can’t pair with devices, constantly freezes. Really bad.

### 5/5 — Love these Lights

*2026-08-22, version 7.6.10*

Control and color/brightness is Fantastic. I also use Hue lighting and for the price these lights can’t be beat

### 5/5 — Great app and products!

*2026-08-22, version 7.6.10*

This app can control and organize your lights and Govee Life devices. It has group controls and dreamview to hook up devices to your tv backlight or to music. Also schedules and timers. There are perks like points for binding new devices, posting on the community forums, sharing effects and participating in events and games. Govee also works well with my Google assistant to add to the smart home experience. It’s been with me for at least 8 years now. 88 connected devices and counting. Great stuff!

### 5/5 — Widget is essential!

*2026-08-22, version 7.6.10*

This app is a little industrial in feel and interface, but it gives a ton of control and customization options, and linking new devices is a breeze. For daily use, I strongly recommend widgets. One screen of simple on-off widgets is easier than opening the app and navigating through tabs and devices each time.

### 1/5 — One of your products has a microphone built in

*2026-08-22, version 7.6.10*

Why does it have a microphone and why can it connect to my WiFi? To spy on me?
