From 100% to 30%, the brightness doesn’t change. It only starts to change after you drop the brightness slider below 30% in the app. It would be a little helpful to also have the instructions to connect to the controller in the app It would be cool if there were some colour customization for specific animations outside of the general primary/secondary for the app. Also, allowing for custom animations and button reactions would be a great way to take this app to the next level. Overall, solid app. A lot of room for it to get even better in the future. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-03-30* Be careful. This app is definitely in a beta phase. It managed to lock me out of all Bluetooth signals, and left the rgbs with a single bright button pulsing.. At least the micro still works fine, and I’ll be updating with my PC going forward. Hopefully they will straighten it out considering I only got 12 hours of play before it crashed. Great product, garbage app. ### 3/5 — it functions *2024-02-09* The app is extremely buggy and prone to crashing, but when it works the features you can customize on the Snackbox are pretty neat ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-01-26* Trash app, it doesn’t work. Wait for a windows version. ### 3/5 — iPhone SE Gen 3 and iPad mini 4 issue *2023-12-13* Unable to scroll through all options on lighting, likely due to the aspect ratio 16:9 vs the more ultrawide resolution of other iPhones. Otherwise it does work but I cannot select all of the lighting options as it doesnt let me scroll and select the bottom options on the list ### 1/5 — Trash app *2023-10-22* Never ever loads past connect micro on my iPhone 11 Pro I mean EVER. I can’t change anything about the snack box because of this ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2023-09-14* Really bad don’t even bother, wait until someone else writes an app ### 1/5 — Make a pc software *2023-08-19* Make a pc software so i can update it with out using my ssid and struggling with the app. if theres a pc software i could just connect to it by wire and update it like any other drive i update on my pc it would be so easy and user friendly ### 1/5 — Great device with an app that’s anything but that *2023-08-15* App seems not to work and gets stuck in scanning with or without reboot of both leverless device and app. I like the peripheral though. Very small and fun to use even though I’m losing the worst I ever have since maybe 1st grade (skill issue) 😅 ### 1/5 — Not good *2023-08-05* I love my snackbox micro but all I can do with this app is connect with the Bluetooth nothing else works. ## Frequently asked questions about JF Connect ### How do I put my Snack Box Micro into edit mode for JF Connect?
