### 1/5 — The app alone says it’s not worth the money

*2024-01-03, version 2.0.2*

Lights are great!  Jellyfish needs to quit being so lazy and update the app to keep up with the competition out there! It’s a guessing game with colors when designing… that kind of money for sheer lazy technology design .  Look elsewhere for lights!! 
Shame on you as a company!

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2023-12-18, version 2.0.2*

Doesn’t work half the time, can not connect to the box in garage, over 2 years I’ve had to do the WiFi reset 3 times, 30+ minutes to make it reconnect. Pretty disappointed with my overall experience. Was lied to about the lights being able to dance to music with a later update.

### 1/5 — Total Garbage

*2023-11-01, version 2.0.2*

User interface is terrible not to mention since I updated my phone I can no longer access my controller.

### 3/5 — Frustrated

*2023-10-20, version 2.0.2*

Lights are great, the app is atrocious

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-08-26, version 2.0.2*

I just had 450’ of these lights installed on my house and I am blown away by the brightness and customization. I was a little afraid after reading some of the reviews of this app, but I have not ran into a single problem with the app, it does everything I can think to throw at it! If you are on the fence about getting permanent Christmas lights, DO IT!

### 1/5 — App Is Amateur Hour

*2023-01-18, version 2.0.2*

You should fit your entire app team. Yo be 2023 and to have an app this wonky is an embarrassment. Fire and spend some money on real app developers.

### 2/5 — App doesn’t provide level of desired control

*2023-01-16, version 2.0.2*

As others have said, the lights are great, but the app is the weak point. It does not provide the level of control needed. A few weak points for me. 

1- The brightness slider needs to be moved to the Adjust tab to the Pattern tab. The reason being that you cannot control the brightness of individual lights. I want 1 bright, followed by 3 dim with a custom warm white color. This isn’t possible. 

The lighter/darker slider also is not the solution to this problem for custom colors. 

2- The speed setting for the chase needs more slower options. For example, the vast majority of the time my lights will be in accent mode. I would like the ability to set a very slow chase (like every minute or 30 seconds) to ensure the LEDs get used/worn evenly. 

3- Enhance the app so that it supports a cloud connection.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-01-08, version 2.0.2*

I have not been able to log into the app for over a week despite being on the same wi fi. Makes the lights absolutely useless since I am not able to control them.

### 3/5 — Frustrated initially

*2023-01-02, version 2.0.2*

This works if you have a dedicated Wi-Fi signal.  It does not work with mesh systems as the controller and your phone may not connect to the same device: something that the programmers need to address.  To resolve, we had our provider turn back on the 2.4 ghz modem Wi-Fi and then we loaded the App onto a rarely used old iPad that we directly linked only to the 2.4 ghz Wi-Fi, bypassing our mesh network. It works great now.

### 2/5 — lights great but app communication to unit not so good

*2022-12-12, version 2.0.2*

lights are great but app communication to unit is a huge problem. We had the motherboard replaced almost a year ago with same problem and now it’s happening again. The unit will show the lights on but lights are off, or app will not communicate to unit & says not on same wifi or lost contact with controller:(  We used to recommend and refer now we don’t.
