Also the animation flashes always have to be rbg, i want tobe able to make presets for that too. ### 4/5 — I like it but… *2026-01-20, version 1.4.7* I really like it it gets the job done for my axolt tank light but I can’t control my led lights. ### 4/5 — Bluetooth *2025-08-03, version 1.4.5* Never had a problem with it but recently I haven’t been able to connect it at all and there have been some small issues with lag ### 2/5 — doesn’t connect ? *2025-04-24, version 1.4.5* the app just won’t connect to me lamp. The lamp and remote works well but I have tried multiple times to connect it and have even uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it still won’t work and i don’t know why or how to fix it ### 2/5 — It’s clock is never right *2025-04-13, version 1.4.5* I have it set to turn off at 8pm and sometimes it’s 8, sometimes it’s 8:15 and sometimes it doesn’t turn off at all. No way to make sure the clock is right. Otherwise it’s easy to use and manipulate. Just wish whatever clock it’s using for the timer settings was better. Turns on with no issue and always on time. ### 2/5 — Lack of options *2025-01-08, version 1.4.5* It’s not a lot to work with to have a light creative freedom. Like more options to have different types of lighting mode with no color choosing. Everything is pretty much preset control. Only one thing you can control is just pick one color at a time with dimmer setting. ### 3/5 — not bad... *2025-01-03, version 1.4.5* honestly, it's not bad only thing i don't like is not being able to save colors. i don't like having to change and find the color i liked.. ### 4/5 — Pretty cool *2024-12-31, version 1.4.5* I was gifted this for Christmas by my bestfriend. I had seen this all over my socials and thought it was an awesome light. Videos for the advertisements of this product were a little off when displaying light colors, as the lamp cannot create the gradient of colors, so the appearance isn’t as smooth, but it’s still pretty cool to have. ### 4/5 — pretty good *2024-12-14, version 1.4.5* my only problem is on the music feature, it always stops doing the light pattern after 2 seconds of the song ### 1/5 — MUST READ::: *2024-12-03, version 1.4.5* I do not like that I cannot control my lights by accessing the app straight off my phone screen. I have to literally go through the App Store and open the app that way then for some reason the controls work. Very weird. I hope the creators can fix this issue I’m having bc it’s really annoying. What I say next has nothing to do with what I said before….when I hooked them up I thought these lights were all defective because they were Bluetooth connected but the lights Wouldnt turn on: well it was my incompetent brain that actually connected the lights the wrong way to the USB. Please try again if you really thought they were broke and just Flip around the connection strip the other way with the label facing towards you.!! ### 1/5 — Aggravating *2024-11-25, version 1.4.5* After some time the colors mixed up so I deleted the app and redownloaded it and the pairing was not working! ### 2/5 — Music mode is kinda bad ngl *2024-11-24, version 1.4.5* Lights are cool but the music setting is insufferable. It is just a constant strobe as fast as it can possibly go. There are definitely better options of you’re looking for some dorm LED lights. Even turning the sensitivity down for the music does nothing. ### 1/5 — Don’t download!! *2024-11-22, version 1.4.5* It was hard to choose how I wanted it exactly by just the one button on the single led strip I got to put behind my tv I downloaded the app and connected it to my Bluetooth and the buttons didn’t work at all and I even had someone else try and help figure it out I wouldn’t recommend this app!!👎🏾 ### 2/5 — Not great *2024-10-29, version 1.4.5* Easy to change colours and brightness of light but the timing function literally doesn’t work at all, and often you have to turn it on and off multiple times on the app until it actually does what you want it to. Also would be great if it could connect with Alexa like other smart device apps can. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Never Connects *2026-04-27, version 1.4.7* Horrible. App connected once to the light and never has again. Every time it tries to it fails or doesn’t even register the light is available to be connected to the app. So ridiculous I don’t know how anyone can even utilize this app. Already deleted it. I’ll stick to using the remote that came with the light. ### 1/5 — Don’t download it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2026-02-28, version 1.4.7* When I downloaded it, it was horrible I tried to see if my LED lights would work, but it doesn’t work like it’s even worse than Roblox so developers if you’re if you’re looking at this, please change it because it is the worst Experience I’ve had ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-12-25, version 1.4.6* Please fix this app, the app makes my lights flash when THEYRE not supposed to, please please fix this developer(s). ❤️❤️💔☹️ ### 1/5 — Can’t connect 2nd light *2025-11-04, version 1.4.6* The app won’t pick up the 2nd light I bought ### 1/5 — Works about 10% of the time *2025-09-20, version 1.4.6* While the transmitter will work at a certain location, seconds later it will not work…then suddenly it will work again and cycle back to not working at all. Totally unreliable! ### 1/5 — Can’t turn off effects *2025-07-26, version 1.4.5* Once the effects are turned on there’s no way to turn them off. Beyond frustrating. It’s been on for about 5 days, the strips are already starting to fall off. It looks like the app hasn’t been updated in a year, and I can’t understand the “app support” because it’s all in Mandarin. This came with a bookshelf, so I didn’t pick the lights themselves. I’m going to have to buy separate lights to not cause a seizure. ### 1/5 — horrible useless app *2025-04-29, version 1.4.5* The app does not work. Don’t waste your money on the lamp. My lamp is totally useless because this app DOESN’T WORK! ### 1/5 — bad *2025-02-15, version 1.4.5* it doesn’t even connect ### 1/5 — Lamp *2025-02-08, version 1.4.5* It does not connect to Bluetooth I don’t see my device on Bluetooth ### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work. Like at all *2024-12-12, version 1.4.5* Such useless garbage that people should have to be compensated for attempting to use it. Light is stuck on because worthless app won’t turn it off. Literally just had to unplug it from the wall like it’s 1995. Going backwards in time with this “technology” ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Melhor app *2026-08-09* Funciona bem sem enrolação ### 5/5 — Bad reveiws are peak like what?? *2026-01-16, version 1.4.7* this app is bosh and i love it its easy to use and its just amazing notheing ever goes wrong cause there aint anything that can go wrong . :) ### 5/5 — Muito Bom *2025-12-02* Vale a pena ### 5/5 — good led lights *2025-09-29, version 1.4.6* they’re good and work well had them for over 2 years now ### 5/5 — amazing sunset lamp *2025-09-04, version 1.4.6* i’ve had it for over 3 years, turned on every day. The light hasn’t dimmed. It’s perfect 😍 ### 5/5 — Just started using *2024-12-26, version 1.4.5* Works great for me, I guess they figured out there issues, if problems do occur I’ll write a new review. ### 5/5 — Works well *2024-08-19, version 1.4.5* Does everything it’s meant to and really simple to use. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2024-07-23, version 1.4.5* Been using for about a week because the controller my sunlamp came with never worked. This app has been working fine so far, and I like the timer function that allows you to schedule a time for it to turn on/off. ### 5/5 — Why so many bad reviews?? *2024-01-14, version 1.4.4* I have NEVER had a problem with this app or the lights. It’s easy and has many functions like being able to set the time for when the lights come on and go off. It’s quick to connect with Bluetooth. Never given me any problems like I said before. Great app, really like the functions and layout of the app. ### 5/5 — LED lights from SHIEN *2024-01-14, version 1.4.4* I got my led lights from shien & the lights sent me to this remote app cause the package didn't come with a remote control. So this app works well & my lights are bright & colourful! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
