## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Won’t connect

*2022-04-25, version 1.0.5*

App is a waste of time.  Phone connects fine and plays music but the app will not connect.

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2020-03-09, version 1.0.5*

It doesn’t even work!

### 1/5 — Phone breaking app

*2017-03-23, version 1.0.5*

Not only does the app freeze, it won't close and does strange things to my phone when open. The lamps themselves are great but the app is a core part and useless

### 3/5 — Good functionality; a few bugs

*2014-12-26, version 1.0.2*

App has good functionality but there are some issues with the current version, hence the three star review. 

The good: great control over most functions of the lamp and so many options for brightness, color, and patterns of the LEDs. 

The bad: the app and lamp lose connection every time the app is left for a few minutes and the app does not automatically reconnect with the lamp when it's opened back up; no control over distance for the leash mode (which I can't even get to work); and lastly, the color wheels to choose colors are very small. 

Otherwise a good start for the app and a great physical lamp.

### 4/5 — Great Start!

*2015-01-18, version 1.0.3*

Wow, this app is pretty darn great. Especially for the first version. Navigation is easy. Setup is a breeze. 

Only issue I ever had was resolved by turning my phone's bluetooth off/on. 

Weather seems ok, it was raining at my place, but the lamp showed clouds only, no rain coming down. 

Poss improvements:
1- Sleep timer
2- Scheduled daily on/off
3- Brightness control on all modes.  This thing is a bit too bright if all other lights are off. 
4- Hardware- Better ability to pick up sound/music.
