### 1/5 — Bluetooth Issues

*2026-06-19, version 1.6.4*

Wouldn’t connect.

### 5/5 — App Update

*2026-01-20, version 1.6.4*

This app is a great way to control a lighting kit for a variety of projects. I have a three-light setup, and the app functioned very well prior to the recent update. Since the update, I have been unable to reconnect my lights and now have to control them manually.

### 1/5 — Why change the app?!

*2025-05-15, version 1.6.0*

Used to be able to use app, then they changed it and my lights can’t connect. What if I was in the field? Do they expect me to muck about with apps when there’s a client waiting?

### 1/5 — Non si connette al bluetooth

*2025-01-08*

Mi è capitato varie volte che i dispositivi non riuscissero a trovare la connessione Bluetooth del GVM. FATE QUALCOSA!

### 3/5 — GVM, remove the in app ads.

*2024-11-28, version 1.5.9*

In app adds for your own products is bloody disrespectful. People using the app have *already* bought your lights. Remove adds in the app. This is a statement of caring far more about profits than your customers. In app adds also make me want to stop investing your business.

### 1/5 — You need an email to use

*2024-07-11, version 1.5.8*

Why is an email code necessary to use a light control?

### 1/5 — Good lights but Poor App

*2024-04-07*

In a classic 3 lights setup the app can control only 1 master and 2 slave all doing the same thing with te same setting, power and color, that is not how a 3 lights setup works in a photoshoot.
AND the in-app message/problems form always say FAILED when you press “send”.
The lights are pretty good… the app not at all!

**Developer response:** Sorry, the control method of the app is limited by the hardware of the device. If you need three lights with different settings, just switch the control.

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2024-03-13*

Simple d’utilisation avec GVM-SD300D. Avant d’utiliser l’appli. J’ai mis manuellement donc, les deux projos sur le même canal. L’un master, l’autre slave. Puis j’ai téléchargé l’appli . Le Bluetooth a été détecté automatiquement, puis j’ai renommé mon réseau. Nickel.

### 1/5 — You cannot connect more than one light at a time

*2024-02-07, version 1.5.7*

This app his horrible! You cannot connect two lights at once and they do not stay connected.

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2023-07-31, version 1.5.5*

Useless. Connected once, finally, and realize now I just got lucky. Skip it or look for another light if you need app control
