### 1/5 — App

*2023-05-18, version 2.6*

Constantly tells me out of range and or not connected

### 1/5 — Zero App control

*2023-05-05, version 2.5*

when you reset settings app loses control

### 1/5 — LEDGlow

*2023-04-03, version 2.4*

Wish you could save whatever light color you have so you don’t have to change them everytime you get on app again you can click a button and it’s already there and my Bluetooth disconnects from the module all the time so I have to disconnect the module and reconnect pretty annoying and no it’s not my battery or connections I have brand new battery and new terminals

### 1/5 — Need replacement parts

*2023-02-25, version 2.4*

I need to get replacements

### 1/5 — Add Siri Shortcuts please

*2022-12-13*

The hardware is good, if a little expensive. 
If Siri Shortcuts were added so you could turn the lights on / off with your voice it would be amazing . 
I messaged the led guys but I got a canned response.

### 1/5 — terrible quality

*2022-11-29, version 1.5*

I’m reviewing the entire underglow light kit on here as well as the app since they deleted my honest review on their website a while ago…

Disconnection Issue: I had so many issues with this app. It might’ve been the module, but the app kept constantly disconnecting from my lights. whats worse is the bad design of the module. basically, because theres no “bluetooth pairing mode” button, what u have to do is physically open your hood, and disconnect the module from the battery and reconnect it. considering the fact that it would disconnect every few weeks makes it such a pain to get something so simple as LED lights to work. 

App not Updated for a While: the fact that this app hasnt been updated in over 2 years for bug fixes/improvements is a huge red flag considering the company is still in business to this day. XK Glow has their software updated every few months or so and their bugs get fixed, just read the reviews and bug fix section. Also, personal preference, but the app feels outdated, like it was made in the 2010’s and the user interface was never updated since. It gives off a vibe of cheap-ness.

The Actual Lights: the lights weren’t super great either. They were LED’s encased in thin plastic which isnt a great design choice for the underbody of a car which can get damaged by rocks or debris in the road. This also means you cant bend the lights to a specific shape and theres no sticky underside. Your 2 options are to mount plastic clips which hang super low and can be easily broken off by a parking block (has happened to me) or drill holes in your plastic underside. if you have a low car, this is probably the worst kit possible to get.

The Good: the only thing i can give them is good customer service and a warranty on their lights if they get damaged. I had my module stop connecting to my phone entirely after a few months and they did replace it, but the new one stopped working after a week as well. however good customer service is the only thing they have going for this company, which isnt that useful since their product is terribly made.

### 1/5 — Bullsh**

*2022-06-27, version 1.5*

App does not connect to save my life. Can’t even change jt

### 1/5 — App never connects to lights

*2022-01-30, version 1.5*

I’ve had my ledglows for about a year, they still work perfect brighter then most others I see. But this app has not connected even once since I’ve had the lights so I have to open the hood of my mustang and manually turn on the lights with the control box. Remote only works if the hood is open and I’m standing next to the c/box. Bummer!

### 1/5 — App does not work well with iOS

*2021-09-22, version 1.5*

I tried to use this app on my iPhone and it wouldn’t connect to my LEDGlow interior lights.  I used it on an android phone and it connected immediately. So there is some issue with apple Bluetooth on these control boxes for the LEDGlow lights.  I called LEDGlow and they basically said they’re never wrong and told me my phone is not working.  I have an iPhone 12 with all of the updates and connect fine with all of my Bluetooth devices…why is this device the only device that doesn’t connect with my phone? And then look at all of the low ratings on this equipment.  And why should I have to remember to close my app every time I turn the car off? Their equipment is buggy and they don’t want to put in the effort to actually make their equipment work effectively.  Horrible product…stay away.

### 1/5 — Won’t connect for it’s life

*2021-09-20, version 1.5*

I keep trying to connect it to my kit that I got professionally installed, so there’s almost no chance that there’s any error with that. It only connects like 25% of the time, and the remote almost never works too.

### 1/5 — Unable to connect with stereo+lights at the same time

*2020-09-28, version 1.5*

ASK FOR A REFUND BEFORE INSTALLING. I tried getting a refund and they refused. 

Your lights wont turn on unless you open the app.
Even when you open the app, you have to disconnect your phone from your stereo first since you can only be connected to one at a time.
App does not save any presets, it forgets them all. App has not been updated in almost a year, so ill doubt theyll fix a major problem.

### 1/5 — iOS needs to be updated!

*2020-08-16, version 1.5*

The app was working fine on iPhones, but I guess since Apple released their last updated my lights have not been able to connect at all and the app becomes to glitchy and crashes. I know it’s only on iPhones because I tried it on my friends Android and it worked perfectly fine. So please update for Apple/iOS users!

### 1/5 — Worst lights ever

*2020-06-19, version 1.5*

NEVER BUY THESE LIGHTS EVER. They’re useless pieces of crap and will never connect to your phone. Spent an hour with a thumb up my ass plugging and unplugging the fuse like the website said and it still didn’t work. Biggest waste of 100 bucks I’ve ever spent.

### 1/5 — It wont connect

*2020-03-16, version 1.5*

The app itself will not connect to the main console so it defeated the purpose of me getting this, it needs to be fixed asap because

### 1/5 — Lack luster

*2020-01-23, version 1.5*

New update removes all customizable options for color and a lot of the modes are gone, and my leds don’t function. Moving to a new app and or new system XK Glow with more interchangeable options as far as LEDs
Every other update ruins the app

### 1/5 — Why is this a problem

*2020-01-21, version 1.5*

There is should be no reason why the Bluetooth shouldn’t connect automatically 
I leave the app open when I’m in the car even in the day time and yet it’ll never connect . The Key fob won’t even connect properly let alone turn on the lights.. I might need my money back to be honest.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-01-25, version 2.7*

Hasn’t worked since I hit This installed for 120” smh

### 1/5 — The app is to old

*2025-08-03, version 2.7*

Instead of selling your product stay up to date with a new app. It’s to old and not user friendly

### 1/5 — Stuffs a joke

*2025-03-02, version 2.7*

All hooked up and won’t pair

### 1/5 — :(

*2024-10-19, version 2.7*

Can not get any of our phones to connect at all

### 1/5 — Bluetooth connectivity stinks

*2024-09-08, version 2.7*

This thing should not be issue, but because they had to make connectivity complicated, I’m stuck with no app use, which is very annoying since it was the thing most important to me about the product. The lights work fine though. But connect to Bluetooth before you install it.

### 1/5 — device being dumb

*2024-05-27, version 2.7*

My device keeps blinking green then stays red and disconnected when i turn it on

### 5/5 — LED glow  million light

*2026-06-12, version 2.7*

Installed  the 4 piece added the grill and wheel openings.  2019 VW Beetle Conv.  Super clean install, 8 hrs.  I have a lift, removed all wheels, all wire ties and hidden, I used Alein tape and a outdoor silicone dabbed
Between. Drilled and zipped tie the inner fender wells.  Looks awesome, learning the app now.

### 5/5 — Works okay most times

*2025-07-06, version 2.7*

So I have had mine for 2 years and it works most of the time, except when I go into gas station and take my phone , they start blinking, then I have to shut them off and turn back on. Sometime some are a different color when in a solid one color. Very irritating.

### 5/5 — Best Brand!

*2025-03-13, version 2.7*

Only thing is I wish I didn’t have to open the app to have the lights work, but other than that the app works fine and the brand is the best!

### 5/5 — Chill Addition To Life

*2023-08-18, version 2.6*

So I got these lights and bam they are dope as crap. People talking about the app but it seems fine to me and it’s 08/18/2023 working completely fine on my 14 Pro Max. This app and the lights are better than my last one from Amazon! Like way better, more control over the lights and individual sections which the other didn’t have at all. Yeah it’s kind of annoying not having it save your lights color but hey it’s whatever will deal with it I guess, still like the product.

### 5/5 — Not working...

*2019-12-28, version 1.3*

I am having the same issues as itsmechristian when it works at all. Most of the time, the new app says I am not authorized...  I have tried reinstalling the app, resetting power to the controller and even tried with another Iphone.  I was going to try working with the controller, but I have to rip my dash apart to get to it. The app worked great the night prior to this patch release and just like microsoft, you managed to break something that was working great! I bought the exact same million color kit (wheel rings, interior and under-glow) for my son for christmas. Do I need to return that setup.....? Just like itsmechristian suggested, put the old app back online until you can fix the issue (include testing it this time).

### 5/5 — So dope

*2018-02-21, version 1.1*

Love the new courtesy light feature, my GT-R breaks even more necks now

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2018-02-21, version 1.1*

The app works great! I love how you can just open the app and it connects right to the kit!

### 4/5 — App fixed!!

*2019-12-28, version 1.4*

Just downloaded the new app and I have my colors back in my leds.    Thanks.

### 2/5 — Question

*2019-12-24, version 1.3*

Did yall take away the color wheel? I dont have it on my app now & i have no control of anything. Please explain or update or tell me how to reset

### 2/5 — Nice But...

*2019-10-24, version 1.2*

The system doesn’t stay connected to any of the Bluetooth devices you set to it. 
I always have to pop my hood and take the fuse out to reset it. At the same time open and close the app so it can identify my phone. Extremely annoying especially when ya pay $$$ for a kit that doesn’t turn on when you want it to.
