### 1/5 — Crashes upon opening

*2026-04-01, version 2.5.3*

I cannot even get this app to open as soon as I press the open button, it shows the opening page for a millisecond and crashes every time. Is there some other app that I can use so that I can use these expensive bulbs?

### 1/5 — Application ne fonctionne plus

*2025-10-01, version 2.5.3*

Médiocre

### 1/5 — Crappy app

*2023-09-16, version 2.5.3*

They updated app now can’t control
My lights….

### 1/5 — Ilumi (nate) me no more

*2021-08-05, version 2.5.3*

I have had these bulbs/app for 5 years.  They have intermittently given me fits by cycling light colors, switching spontaneously to blue from white, or losing schedule.  The app has always been difficult to adjust when seasons change.  However, this time, I am done!  My main front door entrance bulb quit working.  I replaced it with a bulb rarely used.  I am unable to pair it completely to any app (4) that Ilumi offers, and the colorful Ilumi (only app it will pair partially to) app quits on me constantly.  Buying a different manufacturer’s product today!

### 1/5 — App crashes every 10 seconds

*2020-09-04, version 2.5.3*

Application crashes this frequently are ridiculous for a $50 light bulb that claims to be “superior”.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2020-05-02, version 2.5.3*

Great light terrible app FIX THE CRASHING PROBLEM!

### 1/5 — Update please

*2020-03-29, version 2.5.3*

The bulb work perfectly fine but the app keeps crashing.

### 1/5 — DONT BUY: Came back to try the bulb and app again after 5 years

*2020-03-16, version 2.5.3*

Still super lousy. Crashes if you open the app. Can’t do music sync or anything. On the brightside at least the experience has been consistent. I hate that I spent 50$ on the bulb....  so just don’t.

### 1/5 — App crashes way too much

*2020-03-07, version 2.5.3*

The app use to work fine when i first bought the bulb back in 2017 but since 2018 the app has been terrible. Cant even change the color because the app crashes in a matter of seconds from opening.

### 1/5 — not so good

*2020-02-02, version 2.5.3*

the new app isn’t really as good I still have problems with it. Everytime I try to press something it takes me to my home screen so I just deleted the app but do better on the app PLEASE 🤝
