Turn the fan off at the wall, turn it back on, then quickly press PairCode in the app. It took me multiple attempts to get it working. If it still doesn’t pair, leave the Master Fan and try adding a new device, then repeat the process. Once paired, it works perfectly! ### 4/5 — Poor instructions *2026-07-13, version 1.7* Light is great, fan is great, quite enough to sleep with. Instructions awful as per other review. Turn the power off at the wall, then turn the power back on, and press the pair button on the app once within five seconds. The light flashes off, and on, and then it works. You do not need to tap the pair code button multiple times. ### 4/5 — Niorsun ceiling fan light *2026-07-08, version 1.7* Bit of a pain to connect. Turn off the fan on the mains switch- not the remote. Turn it back on at the mains switch - as soon as you turn it on repeatedly tap the “pair code” on the app and the light should flash. ### 3/5 — Mobile control is useless *2026-07-03, version 1.7* Tried paring the fan to my phone for forever, it did not whatsoever. Instructions were unclear about how to set up on phone but everything else works fine ### 1/5 — Brutal App *2026-04-11, version 1.7* This app simply does NOT work. Garbage. Hard to believe Volisun lights actually hitched their wagons to such a useless app. Amateur hour. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-03-13, version 1.7* Can connect to fan ### 1/5 — Does not work with app *2026-03-05, version 1.7* Does not work with app. Device and app are not connected as there is no way to connect them. Bluetooth is not in used in device so it’s incompatible. ### 4/5 — Instructions are not clear *2026-03-05, version 1.7* So… I’ve given this app 4 stars because it’s working. No issues. However pairing, whilst is in fact easy to, it’s extremely confusing if you just read the instructions. They clearly weren’t made by someone with native English skills For clarification, if you’ve got a NIORSUN fan and light. To pair it, you have to turn on the light (from source power, not remote) and within 5 seconds press the “PairCode” button on the App. The light will flash and it’s paired. Hopefully this helps some folks out ### 1/5 — not pairing *2026-03-03, version 1.7* Does not work ### 1/5 — Wtf *2026-03-02, version 1.7* Not working ### 1/5 — App needs to be fixed *2026-02-03, version 1.7* App doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Absolute Trash *2025-12-29, version 1.7* This thing reeks, I lost the controller and my last resort was to use the app and it won’t work and it makes absolutely no sense. It does not show how to connect the fan to the app but it lets you tap the buttons. It’s pretty fun for make believe, but not when you’re sweating in your room because your fan won’t work. ### 3/5 — It’s Ok *2025-12-21, version 1.7* Lifesaver because my remote doesn’t seem to want to connect anymore. Also, sometimes I have to try twice before it responds, overall, it’s fine. There seems to be options that are not activated? Other than that, I like it but I find the remote was more practical. ### 1/5 — No funciona *2025-12-17, version 1.7* No tiene manera de conectarse con las abanicos ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-12-10, version 1.7* App unable to scan for light fitting, so it cannot be used with phone, which is the whole reason I bought the item. Bitterly disappointed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fake app *2026-08-11, version 1.7* Lol.. doesnt work at all .. fakes it ### 1/5 — Great light but awful app *2026-08-03, version 1.7* App does not work ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, possible spyware *2026-08-02, version 1.7* The app doesn’t connect to the fan and gives you no instructions on how to do so I tried pressing the Wi-Fi set up button on the remote, but it didn't work. There was already a fan. When you download the app, there's already a fan there that you can control, but it doesn't actually change anything. It's not your fan, so you're controlling something, and it doesn't even do anything. The setup process is really hard. I even tried scanning the QR code on the back of the remote, and then it said something in Chinese, I assume, and I didn't know what it said. I don't even know if this is a truly smart device. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2026-07-24, version 1.7* Actually pairing the app with the fan seems impossible. Didn’t come with any instructions. ### 1/5 — App Won't Sync To Fan Light *2026-07-22, version 1.7* Purchased the fan light. Scanned the QR code in the user manual to download this app. Opened the app, and that is as far as I got. I follow the steps as outlined in the fan light's user manual to connect the light to the app but it will not connect up. ### 1/5 — Fan *2026-06-14, version 1.7* Does not work ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-06-09, version 1.7* Does not work ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2026-06-03, version 1.7* The last update to the app was 11 months ago. The app stopped working with the device before that update. I have been unable to correct the issue despite troubleshooting and searching for solutions and attempts to contact the app or product support team. The physical remote control is still working fine but I chose this product for the app capable use as well as the remote option. ### 1/5 — No pairing *2026-05-19, version 1.7* I cannot get my light to pair to the app. It’s super frustrating! Any help is appreciated. ### 1/5 — Junk!! *2026-05-19, version 1.7* No instructions and no matter what you try it does not work!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Connecting to phone APP *2026-07-15, version 1.7* It’s very complicated to connect to the phone app but after many tries I figured it out YOU NEED A WALL SWITCH!! and I hope it helps others. 1. Make sure your Bluetooth is ON. 2. Click the remote light power OFF. 3. Turn the power wall switch OFF 4. Flip the switch back ON and quickly HOLD the pair code button on the APP until the light turns off and on by itself and that should do the trick. ### 5/5 — Finally works very nice *2026-07-11, version 1.7* Finally, after you figure out how to get the app to pair with the fan and light, you’ll see a button this says pair code, I turned the breaker off. I turned the breaker back on and I hit that button. Nothing then after 30 minutes with nothing. I turned the breaker off. I hold that button on then turn the breaker on and finally the light gave a quick blink now the app controls the light the fan the color everything! You might have to repeat two times turning the breaker on then back off then back on holding that button on the app the whole time. ### 5/5 — Works Great *2026-06-20, version 1.7* I was having trouble getting my fans to pair with the app. I figured out my problem. I had Bluetooth for the app turned off. I had to go on my iPhone to Settings, Apps, HF Smart, and turn Bluetooth on. That fixed my problem. App paired first time, and I can control both of fandeliers. Easy peasy! ### 5/5 — It’s Easy *2026-06-07, version 1.7* Every thing is amazing it tuck no time to pair ### 5/5 — Actually works very well *2026-03-25, version 1.7* App works great once you know how to setup. Bought two light kits and now have 2 remotes and my phone connected. Simple setup.. Just turn off power going to fans, turn on and immediately press the pair button lights will blink and your done. Repeat this for each remote and app. ### 5/5 — Like it *2025-10-31, version 1.7* Working fine, i took me 3 times to read the instruction to figure it out how to pair to the app, now is working fine, i can control the fan from my app and of curse from the remote included, ligh is good and vent pretty silent even on max speed!! ### 5/5 — SOLUTION *2025-07-31, version 1.7* My app was blank like some people are talking about. I deleted and reinstalled the app and it resolved the issue. ### 5/5 — Works fine *2025-06-29, version 1.7* App works as intended, I just followed the manual’s instructions on how to connect to app and works perfectly fine, just needs a dark mode. UPDATE- Thank you!! Works like a charm again. 5 stars ### 5/5 — It works *2025-04-02, version 1.4* It works u just have to connect to the Bluetooth scan the QR code correctly and switch off the light press the Wi-Fi button on the remote the same time u switch on the light u should hear two beeps press pair code ### 5/5 — Pairing app with iPhone and Ceiling Fan/Light *2025-01-27* First create a new device, I used “Ceiling Fan/Light”. Pair app with BT turned on, and hitting the PairCode button while physically turning light switch on. There is no notification, the app just starts working. Leave switch turned on and use app to control fan/light. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
