The App sends you around in circles and keeps trying to hook you into a useless subscription. I just wanted a bloody light! It’s going back to Home Depot. ### 1/5 — everything premium *2026-07-19, version 2.8.3* you can’t do anything without getting a free trial pop up. i already bought the light bulb i don’t see why i need to buy the app also ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-07-16, version 2.8.3* On the Free Version, you can only turn the light and off, any other feature (including deleting a light) requires a $5.00 a week subscription or a $50 a year subscription. WHAT A JOKE ### 1/5 — Horrible interface *2026-07-16, version 2.8.3* This app is difficult to use and has terrible ease of access ### 1/5 — A functionally useless app sold by a deceitful company *2026-07-14, version 2.8.3* First of all the app won’t even let you pair your lights unless you pay a weekly subscription. And after pairing them you are limited to bluetooth only AND they require the app to be open at all times for the routines to work?? Absolutely useless garbage and they have the audacity to make this a paid app when the OEM app that comes with your lights is 1000x better. Do not sign up for the free trial it just takes you to the normal subscription screen and charges you full price. What a deceitful company. And on top of all this Apple refuses to refund me even though I have proof that I was scammed because I was screen recording the whole time. Apple should be ashamed for defending garbage like this. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2026-07-12, version 2.8.3* Not user friendly Taking mine back. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t stay connected *2026-07-12, version 2.8.3* I thought I was downloading the wiz app and this is something else! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-11, version 2.8.3* You have to pay for it and no matter what you do the limited version doesn’t hardly let you do anything. Don’t buy unless you are really going to enjoy it and use it. ### 1/5 — i can’t even turn my light on they keep telling me to pay *2026-07-10, version 2.8.3* horrible ### 1/5 — DON’T DOWNLOAD!! *2026-07-10, version 2.8.3* I downloaded this believing I had a weeks free trial. The app was so bad that I cancelled the trial after a few days of frustration. Despite this my CC was hit for a week’s subscription!! …and Apple won’t refund me the money. NB once I FINALLY got the light connected to the app my light was SO DIM even at 100% bright setting. I now have Mirabella Genio app which is FREE and works like a charm. ### 1/5 — Scammers *2026-07-08, version 2.8.3* I would not recommend this app at all. Took my money and will not respond to request for refund 15 min later ### 1/5 — Not govee home *2026-07-07, version 2.8.3* Not sure why this is the number one search hit. It is not the govee home app. Baits you into paying for a subscription. Not worth it at any price as far as I’m concerned. Borderline deceptive on the app stores part. ### 1/5 — CYNC Lights *2026-07-05, version 2.8.3* The corner of my lights are pink and all the other lights are white. They will not change to any other color. I even had to pay for premium for me to be able to connect the lights to the app for control. I have to reconnect everytime I want to dim or brighten the lights. I wasted my money with these. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-04, version 2.8.3* Literally doesn’t work at all you can’t connect lights unless you get a subscription ### 1/5 — Monthly subscription? *2026-07-04, version 2.8.3* Why in the world do I need a monthly or yearly subscription to use a lightbulb. This is absolutely insane. ### 1/5 — worst lighting app *2026-07-02, version 2.8.3* You can’t even change the colors and mostly everything is locked away from a subscription. I don’t have an actual remote to use so I have to use my phone, and the app seems like it’s mostly promoting you to use it with videos and music because those are the 2 constant pop ups you will receive. The app is extremely confusing and has little direction. I don’t even know where or how to change the colors so my lights are stuck on red. Do not recommend! ### 1/5 — Pay more money *2026-07-01, version 2.8.3* Such a bad move getting these. I need a subscription to use them on my phone app? So I can pay more! Not worth it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2026-08-16, version 2.8.3* My light bulb doesn’t change colors, the app is a rip off and I cannot figure out how to cancel. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-08-13, version 2.8.3* Paid for it by mistake only to find it’s completely unusable with a Wiz smart lamp. I’m using the Wiz app now. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2026-08-11, version 2.8.3* Does not work with NBN ### 1/5 — A lot of Money for a Headache *2026-08-10, version 2.8.3* Expensive and they don’t work. Always having connection problems. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone ### 1/5 — :( *2026-08-09, version 2.8.3* I was looking forward to using this because I’ve been saying ‘I wish I could control all my different lights via ONE app.’ I hate having to use 3 different apps to turn on my lights. I opted out of subscription when setting up but can’t get past the subscribe page. It keeps taking me back there even when I choose limited subscription. Sad. ### 1/5 — Can’t even test 1 lightbulb to check if it works as intended … *2026-08-07, version 2.8.3* … before the pay button shows up. Y’all ridiculous. Deleting the app and return the lightbulb lol ### 1/5 — The subscription screen continues to pop up *2026-08-07, version 2.8.3* The subscription screen continues to pop up. It appears I’m unable to even change the color without a subscription. ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-08-06, version 2.8.3* This app is bad. Not user friendly, hard to change lighting. Not cool that I have to pay for a subscription. I will find new lights. ### 1/5 — This is not a functional product *2026-08-04, version 2.8.3* Would not connect to anything and wasted 30 minutes of my one wild and precious life. Don't bother buying this and I will be requesting a refund immediately. ### 1/5 — do NOT purchase nor download any product of this app. *2026-08-02, version 2.8.3* makes you pay to change the color of your lights weekly, bluetooth is terrible, app doesnt respond nor help unless you pay for their subscription ( which still doesnt help the connection ), overall everything is poorly done ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — DO NOT BUY!!! *2026-07-21, version 2.8.3* I only rated this 5 stars so you could see it But IT MAKER YOU PAY WAY TOO MUCH THIS SHOULD BE 1 STAR DO NOT BUY!!!! ### 5/5 — Bad *2026-03-18* You guys i cant even like change the color on my phone and it makes me feel like so mad because I got home from school and I was like going to change to color and then I said I have to get the yearly or weekly or something like that and I was not able to change the color so four stars **Developer response:** Thank you for your review!

UPDATE!!! *2026-01-22, version 2.7* Update: I discovered there is an actual Govee has their own official app. Their app is free. So, if you buy a Govee product make sure you download "Govee Home" their actual app if you DO NOT want to pay money to control your products from from the via your app!!! ____________ Original post: I too discovered this app and company are a total scamming people. I bought a Govee Floor Lamp from Amazon and returning it. I am returning it after discovering you have to pay a weekly or annual fee in order for the app to even work. It does not mention this anywhere on the Amazon page I purchased the product from. Sorry I will not be extorted by an app in order to operate a product I paid a good amount of money for. I too as others have mentioned I will now be purchasing a product that comes with an actual remote.
