No one wants this app. ### 2/5 — Only a select few accessories work in this app… *2025-02-13, version 1.1.00* Straight up Bluetooth lights I think from 2021 and under do not work with this app. It either has to be a Google Assistant/Alexa light or a newer model. ### 2/5 — What’s the point? *2024-10-13, version 1.0.10* I don’t understand the purpose of this app. Its functionality is so basic, it stretches the idea of what a ‘lite’ app could be. You can’t interact with or view your Govee sensors in anything other than a base ‘here’s your value’. All the reporting and functional use of the sensor is not here. I have temperature/ humidity sensors and in the Govee home app I can see full statistics on temp, humidity, and dew point. I can see historical stats and trends over an hour or a month charted with multiple devices, something that would be nice on a larger iPad sized screen. But what can this app do, show me the temperature and nothing else. Boo. ### 2/5 — A bit pointless if you use the mobile app *2024-09-09, version 1.0.10* Not really sure of the usefulness of this tablet version. I was expecting to be able to access my customer colour presets created in the standard app on my iPad with this. Instead I get just solid colours or access to the built-in preset colour animations. The DIY option does not appear to do anything, there’s no way of creating or importing settings. Gave up for now and returning to the standard app. ### 2/5 — Same as iPad versions ?????? *2024-09-05, version 1.0.10* I wish you could make it the same as the iPad version Thanks to read me ### 1/5 — Does not appear to work with H5107 sensors *2024-07-07, version 1.0.03* It would be nice to try using this app, but it doesn’t appear to work with all GoveeLife devices. I have an H5043 gateway with 3 @ H5107 temperature sensors, but none of the sensors show up in this app or the Studio app. They only appear on the Home app. ### 2/5 — why cant we get the same features as the phone app ?!? *2024-05-24, version 1.0.02* quite useless, cant do much with it besides selecting scenes and turning devices on and off…still need to pull the phone out to build scenes and effects on a small screen…why ??? ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2024-04-02, version 1.0.02* The app doesn’t even let you add a device ### 1/5 — Not ready yet *2024-01-14, version 1.0.01* I only have 2 smart heaters only one showed up in this app also the temperature offset doesn’t show ### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work *2023-12-29, version 1.0.01* This app just doesn’t work at all ### 2/5 — Not ready for normal use yet *2023-12-29, version 1.0.01* The app still seems a far way away from being ready for users. Only 2 devices pulled in and trying to control them would just spin the app. I will use the govee home app still till maybe this get all the issue worked out. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Never works *2026-06-26, version 1.3.10* Does not work ### 1/5 — Does not work at all! *2026-05-26, version 1.3.10* Like the title says, does’t work at all, not on Mac, not on iPad, works fine on Android and PC though, this is an abandoned app that needs taken down. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-02-01, version 1.3.01* Try to login and then it says it sends codes to email but you can’t do anything with the code. There’s no place to enter it. Complete screwup Why did the update caused the program to lose its brains or forget everything that was set up? ### 1/5 — Requires Bluetooth to monitor WiFi devices? *2025-11-11, version 1.2.00* WiFi signal is much stronger than Bluetooth but this app requires Bluetooth to work although my devices are not in Bluetooth range. Does not make any sense. This is the whole point of WiFi so you can monitor devices that are not at the location of the device running this app. I understand that during set up of certain devices that use both, Bluetooth may be required but my devices are already set up. I am using this app on an Apple Silicon Mac Mini so this is the only way I can monitor my WiFi thermometers as long as they are within Bluetooth range !!! ### 1/5 — It barely works *2025-10-02, version 1.2.00* I started using this because the govee app screen was too small, so I downloaded this app and the screen area is good but the app barely works, it won’t let me turn on my lights even though my connection is good and Bluetooth is on, even if I am able to access the lights I have to reset the app to actually edit it (like making the lights brighter or lower) Overall just bad, the only up side is that the screen area is big, just patch the bugs and I will download it again ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2025-08-21, version 1.2.00* Try to login and then it says it sends codes to email but you can’t do anything with the code. There’s no place to enter it. Complete screwup ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-03-22, version 1.1.10* can't do anything thing can't even see my strip light it's the H6125 and says it's compatible but won't show up at all ### 1/5 — Would give it 0 stars if I could *2024-11-30, version 1.1.00* ABSOLUTELY USELESS says to edit widgets to add deceives yet doesn’t give you the option to add devices once you’re editing as NOTHING shows up when you click devices. I’ve even tried searching for the device I want to add and again NOTHING shows up ### 1/5 — The app doesnt even work *2024-10-08, version 1.0.10* straight up cant even connect to my lights, absolutely uselss ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-09-18, version 1.0.10* Most of my devices are missing, very buggy app, hard to customise ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Adorable merci *2026-07-29, version 1.4.00* C’est plaisir le fun lumière très intéressant de la vie ### 5/5 — Govee *2026-06-02, version 1.3.10* Just scan the QR code from the main app and works perfectsly ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-05-12, version 1.3.10* If the reg Govee home app is to confusing this app is just to control device it’s very easy and basic ### 5/5 — Nice app! *2025-04-26, version 1.1.10* I really wish there was a way to resize widgets, change their color/ background to make it more catered to how a person might want it to look, it would also be kinda cool if there was a clock widget just to have on the home screen of the app. But it was easy to log in and use, I love the simplicity of there being a Lite dashboard for my govee lights just because it gives a simple view and works like a hub. ### 5/5 — The tgftt *2024-08-27, version 1.0.03* You are the best and you deserve the world to be better for your ### 5/5 — Thank you *2023-12-28, version 1.0.01* I can finally use the ultimate experience currently one of my lights is not showing up and I know this is just the beginning thank you Govee love you guys happy new year 2024 written at 9:59am 12/28/2023 p.s TURN THIS INTO THE HOME APP PLEASE LOL ### 4/5 — Huguet *2025-02-19, version 1.1.00* Bihuviyu ### 4/5 — It’s gotten a lot better *2024-03-08, version 1.0.02* When I first downloaded this app a few months ago it was okay, but full of glitches and bugs that made it unusable as more than just a switch. But since the last update it’s worked a lot smoother. I can now use this as an alternative to the Govee app on my iPad for setting the scenes and brightness and such. Very happy to see that there are continued improvements being made ### 3/5 — PLEASE ADD SMART SWITH COMPATIBILITY *2024-03-12, version 1.0.02* Even my Basic Control Groups won’t operate properly because the app can’t talk to Govee Smart switches. as a software developer, I have to ask, do you just hate us? I’ll buy you a cookie. ### 3/5 — 无法控制插座 *2023-12-27, version 1.0.01* 只能控制灯泡和彩灯，希望可以尽快添加单、双插座的控制功能。平板电脑专用的app👍必须赞一个！ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
