### 1/5 — Defunct

*2021-12-12, version 1.1.2*

As far as I can tell, this app is no longer relevant (except on very old iOS devices).  There does not seem to be a website any more to even update or trouble shoot.   Argh.

### 1/5 — No funciona aplicación

*2021-12-12, version 1.1.2*

No funciona la App para cambiar  tonalidades que sugieren las luces están en buen estado todavía

### 1/5 — Lights still work,but….

*2021-12-09, version 1.1.2*

The app doesn’t link to the lights anymore.  Unfortunately there isn’t any buttons on the lights. So there is no way to control them. 

Bummer using an iPhone 12 also tried using my old iPhone X.

Si fuera una serie china de 3 pesos

### 1/5 — Qué mal funcionamiento

*2022-11-28, version 1.1.2*

Deberían haber dado garantía y devolvernos el dinero si no iba a servir más que en el 2015. O advertirlo antes de la compra.

### 1/5 — Que decepción!

### 5/5 — Old I phone works

*2020-11-17, version 1.1.2*

Mine stopped in 2019 after iOS update and read here about old device and it worked. I Use an old 4s and it works on the highest operating system it will take.

### 5/5 — How to connect ..!!

*2019-12-06, version 1.1.2*

You need to connect with an older version phone ..: it won’t work on new phones 

I just connect my with my iPhone 5 an it works find ..... so try the old phones ..!!   

Also wish they can update the app..!!

### 5/5 — Wish it did more, however...

*2015-11-29, version 1.1.0*

I wish the app/lights did a little more, but that is on me. I didn't research the functionality before I bought them. Very easy setup and cool effects. Makes my Christmas tree look pretty cool. Maybe they'll add more to this, but I'm pretty satisfied.

### 5/5 — Simple & Very Usable

*2015-10-31, version 1.1.0*

Got this to program our GE 36 LED Color Changing Lights. The app works well and is simple to use. Very happy with both the decorations and the app.

### 5/5 — Buena

*2015-10-24, version 1.0.1*

Buena app solo que debería tener mas modos de luz

### 4/5 — Functional, But Missing Features

*2015-11-15, version 1.1.0*

I was able to set up and connect to multiple light sets without much trouble, however the printed guide suggests connecting the lights to your home WIFI, but there doesn't seem to be this ability anywhere in the app.

All in all it's pretty great, but there's a bit of a learning curve to program the lights.

### 3/5 — Luces increíbles app no se conecta

*2024-12-08, version 1.1.2*

Las luces se ven increíbles la app no se conecta para personalizar el modo en que las quieres ! lo bueno es que el control si prende 1 y las otras 2 se quedaron en un modo lindo pensé que era yo pero veo que a nadie le sirve … encontré unas en temu igual de fresita que funcionaron muy bien

### 3/5 — Can work?!

*2019-12-02, version 1.1.2*

So I can confirm that this app will not work with new operating systems such as the IPhone X, 10, or 11. I was able to program and work it just fine on my IPhone 6s+ with the operating system being 12.1.4. I hope this helps y’all out, Merry Christmas!

### 3/5 — Slightly disappointed

*2015-11-10, version 1.1.0*

I purchased 4 strings of itwinkle wifi lights from Costco.  After downloading the itwinkle wifi app and putting the lights on the house, I struggled for hours over a few days to finally get it sorted out and working.  I have a background in technology and that likely prevented me from quitting and taking the lights back.  The directions are not overly clear and of course I only glossed over them the first time.  I made mistakes in the set-up and then had to retrace my steps and review the online directions to figure it all out.  It's a bit quirky, but once I got them working and talking to each other I was able to control all 4 light sets in unison, which is very cool.  

I am disappointed with the capabilities of the app, it could do so much more, so I truly hope that more investment is going into improving the ability to control the lights.  I see a ton of potential fun.

My kids 14,16 & 18 think these lights are pretty cool as well.  Not easy to impress teenagers with technology these days.

### 2/5 — App problem

*2020-11-23, version 1.1.2*

The lights are stuck in random mode!
The app will not connect to the lights, it keeps saying “invalid” we never had a problem before, it just this year. Shouldn’t be surprised it’s 2020 🤷🏽‍♂️
