They all eork well. The reason for 4 stars instead if 5 is the app. I have two issues. (1) they keep changing things and I don’t always understand why. (2) they don’t really test releases. Releases often introduce bugs and there is no way to revert to an okdwr version. Right now using Siri to execute commands is a problem. The command executes immediately butb then is followed by a 5 ro 10 second delay before Siri says ok and returns control. They promised a fix but it has yet to appear. But I seill recommend Govee. Tech responses are quick. Fixes not so mych. ### 4/5 — Brightness Slider *2026-08-22, version 7.6.10* Editing review: THANK YOU for changing this back. It might not seem like much, but listening to customers and responding to feedback means a lot. Previous review: Please change how users change brightness back to how it was. Opening a different section, selecting a percentage at random, clicking confirm (or whatever) is WAY WORSE than what it was. I now have to arbitrarily guess what percentage brightness is needed when before it would change in real time. ### 2/5 — App still sucks *2026-08-21, version 7.6.10* I’m not sure what they’ve done to the app, but every 2-3 days I have to delete the app, reinstall it and re-add my strip lights in order to change them in any way. Update again: App still sucks, I have to delete the app almost everyday in order to do more than turn my lights on and off. I’m getting really tired of this. ### 4/5 — So far so good *2026-08-20, version 7.6.02* I just got here, so I don’t have the feature adjustment issues some of you guys have (yet?), thus I’m enjoying it atp. However, I had to deduct 1 star bc I am constantly getting the notification that the app location services are set to “always,” and being forced to change to “only while using,” which doesn’t sound bad, except I don’t want to have it open all the time for my location-based power on/off to work. I want the lights to turn off when I leave, and back on when I get home. Please fix this! ### 5/5 — Update *2026-08-19, version 7.6.02* Edit to my review, commented about an update making it complicated the change to brightness level in groups and it was quickly changed to the way it was before. Thank you for listening and making the app enjoyable and simple again! Agreeing with one of the recent reviews about the update making the app more complicated to use. Adjusting the brightness of my light group used to be a great simple process. Just click the group and adjust the slider for brightness. This update has made it tedious to do the same process with no benefit besides clicking more buttons. ### 5/5 — These last updates have been a step in the right direction, nice work. *2026-08-18, version 7.6.02* You’ve gotten rid of the eternal death wheel when trying to adjust brightness, thank you. You did put the brightness behind another page, but have since updated and returned its quick access to the main layout. That was proper. Brightness is fast, easy, and doesn’t stick me in a loading loop now. Good work Govee crew. ### 2/5 — The UI is mess *2026-08-18, version 7.6.02* You can save a color scheme but you can’t find your colors anywhere. Fix it, it’s infuriating. Put it on top where a user can easily use them when opening the app. Terrible ### 3/5 — Not multi-family friendly *2026-08-18, version 7.6.02* Yeah, the products works. But it’s kinda useless if an account can only be logged in on one device. If I’m at work my family can only change the lighting manual which defeats the point of being lazy and having an app for that 😒 ### 3/5 — Intégration à l’appli maison *2026-08-16* L’intégration à Siri est d’un complexe je n’y arrive pas du tout je ne parle même pas de Siri qui me serai pourtant bien pratique puisque j’ai 3 type d’éclairage Govee donc le ventilateur de plafonds ### 3/5 — Unstable *2026-08-16, version 7.6.02* Lots of options in app all cool, just having a really annoying problem where it resets the devices I share with family every few months and I have to set up everything. An insane pain to deal with, making me sorta regret it all. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Must be noted reveiws *2026-08-29, version 7.6.10* This app is actively working against you, disconnecting your lights constantly, connecting to incorrect WiFi, and never showing the correct devices. “Effects” look horrible and random aswell. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-27, version 7.6.10* I just got these lights yesterday and put them up and today they just stopped working on the app says trying to connect but it doesn’t try ### 1/5 — Cumbersome app *2026-08-26, version 7.6.10* I find this app extremely frustrating. I am unable to make my white background look white. It always ends up having a slight greenish tint or some other color. When you save a color that you finally like you cannot find it. You cannot go back and get that saved color. I am regretting buying the Govee backlight kit. Definitely not what I expected and it is all due to the app. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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? ### 1/5 — Beyond Confusing app *2026-08-16, version 7.6.02* I don’t know why there are so many options and so many menus and pages for a lighting app. I love the flexibility, but I’m really overwhelmed with the amount of settings and options. ### 1/5 — Requiring an Account is Trash!!!!!!!! *2026-08-16, version 7.6.02* I just want to use bluetooth to adjust my home devices. Requiring an account is trash. You lost a loyal customer. ### 1/5 — Works … sometimes *2026-08-16, version 7.6.02* Not great as it loses connectivity to WiFi and VERY difficult to reconnect (meaning - it WON’T). When it was working - was great. But with 2 nine-segment permanent Govee lights - it’s a PITA to deal with. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing Light Display *2026-08-29, version 7.6.10* Really beautiful selection of lighting effects. Virtually unlimited with the use of the AI engine for light scene creation. ### 5/5 — Best WiFi lighting on market!! *2026-08-25, version 7.6.10* You will absolutely love Govee and the community .If you like options and diy then Govee lights are for you.The choices and themes are endless along with your chance to share them with others in the Govee community.You won’t find another lighting solution out here that offers all the excitement and thrill of gaming,home or party lighting that Govee offers its community who make Govee who they are today.With constant upgrades and new features and improvements made more often than others you will never be bored with what Govee offers its community throughout the world. ### 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 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Love Love Love my Prism lights *2026-08-22, version 7.6.10* These PRISM lights are amazing!! All my neighbors are envious and install was smooth and easy!! I encourage you to consider “my tracks” for a permanent install. Color match was perfect and my wife is very impressed with how clean it looks!! ### 5/5 — Cool app *2026-08-19, version 7.6.02* Love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
