It continues to buffer in the search mode, but it doesn’t find the light so the light is worthless at this point because I can’t even turn it on. I may have to find a universal controller if possible. ### 1/5 — NEEDS TO UPDATE, FIX THE APP bugs *2023-09-11, version 1.0.11* APP BUGS OUT AND CLOSES EVERY TIME I TRY TO OPEN IT ### 1/5 — Update or something *2023-08-27, version 1.0.11* Anytime I open the app it closes automatically. I deleted it and redownloaded it at least 4 times and it’s continuing to do the same thing. ### 1/5 — Bought it yesterday and stopped working today *2023-08-02, version 1.0.11* The app had the light modes for it yesterday when I purchased the light and set it up for streaming now today the second day of use comes around and I turn the app on my phone and all of a sudden the light modes disappeared! Please for the love of God FIX THIS ISSUE! ### 1/5 — Fix the app *2022-12-24, version 1.0.11* Can’t use the light when the freaking app doesn’t work! ### 1/5 — App keeps kicking me out *2022-11-30, version 1.0.11* App keeps kicking me out won’t let me turn the light on ### 1/5 — App crashing *2022-09-21, version 1.0.11* My app keeps crashing the moment it opens and I can’t use the light. ### 1/5 — App support is awful *2022-09-04, version 1.0.11* The app barely works, and when it does it dosnt have any of the features they advertise, would be a great product if they’d include a remote or make the app useable ### 1/5 — Trash *2022-07-13, version 1.0.11* Returning this just as fast as i got it. The stupid app doesn’t work. I have i uninstalled it added it back and it still crashes. There is no way to control the light without the app Don’t waste your time or money. ### 1/5 — App Crashing *2022-06-25* For whoever is having trouble opening the app and for it to crash, on your phone, on your Bluetooth settings look for the LED light and forget device, try to reopen the app and it should work just connect it again, that’s what worked for me. ### 1/5 — This app need to be fixed!! *2022-04-25, version 1.0.11* Hello, this particular app need to fix to be able to use on the new generation of the iPhone!! 谢谢！ ### 1/5 — app crashes *2022-04-01, version 1.0.11* fix your app plz ### 1/5 — App don’t work at all *2022-03-23, version 1.0.11* It was working awesome at one point now it’s trash. ### 1/5 — Keeps kicking me out *2022-03-14, version 1.0.11* There’s a music feature that it talks about but I have never seen it on this app. I cannot get into the app at all I keep deleting and re-downloading for a year now. It’s always been like this. Highly do not recommend! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App isn’t supported anymore *2025-12-09, version 1.0.11* Tried to open my app and it opens on the icon but then suddenly crashes ### 1/5 — Can’t used app don’t open *2025-10-12, version 1.0.11* What a joke apps closed and is the only way to control the lights ### 1/5 — App doesn’t connect to the light *2025-06-17, version 1.0.11* my rooms been stuck blue because the light doesn’t wanna connect with the app :) ### 1/5 — . *2025-05-15, version 1.0.11* The light is extremely bright and nice but then you download the app and you can’t even get in to it it closes out. ### 1/5 — No way to use without Bluetooth *2025-05-08, version 1.0.11* Worked great for about a week not it won't connect and you can't turn it on manually . Product is terrible ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2025-03-12, version 1.0.11* Crashes upon open on iPhone 16 pro. Works on iPhone 12 Pro. Same software update. ### 1/5 — All It Does is Crashes *2025-03-06, version 1.0.11* 1 star… The app has worked one time and then crashes in the middle of shows. ### 1/5 — Fantastic light, but a poorly designed app *2025-03-02, version 1.0.11* I’m giving this app a week to resolve this issue, or I’ll bring up my own complaints. This is unacceptable—fix it before it’s too late. Every time I try to open the app, it simply crashes and logs me out. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2024-03-09* I have deleted and redownloaded this app a dozen times. Every time i try to open the app it quits and will not open. it has made the light completely useless which is a huge shame because it’s a great light. The company has obviously given up on this product seeing as they haven’t made an app update in 2 years. Do not buy this light if you somehow see the reviews for this app beforehand. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2023-12-16, version 1.0.11* I used to control this with an android device. Which recently broke and can no longer be used. Figured I’d try to download this app on my 13 pro max. It does nothing but crash. Which renders my purchase useless at this point. I’ll be buying another Android based device to control this light ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — READ THIS *2025-03-17* I only put 5 stars so this will be seen. Go to creators profile and look at similar apps. Go to an app called “shine light” created by them and there you can control mood settings, have lights react to music, and even set a timer! Wayyyyy better and more options! ### 5/5 — DOWNLOAD “SHINE LIGHT” FOR MORE FUNTIONS *2022-10-08* For more light functions, download the “shine light” app to better utilize the studio light. This application is most likely the outdated version and does not have many features. ### 5/5 — HOW TO GET DIFFERENT MODES *2022-06-06* Go to the same creator of the app and download the “shine light” app it’ll connect the same exact way and you’ll get a bunch of different options to choose from ### 5/5 — Great light and basic app *2021-12-21* It’s perfect for the value, the light is bright and colorful and the app is easy to use. I would love to see more features in the future like strobe or animate colors ### 5/5 — Working just fine so far. *2021-06-28* Got two of them linked up and synced up in under five minutes. ### 4/5 — Explanation on using the mic? *2022-02-11* The app works well for the most part. However, why am I allowing microphone permissions if the app doesn’t provide an option for the lights to change based on music? Please fix. Also, a few pattern options would be great, too. The LED itself is very powerful and def worth it. But please fix this app to at least perform as advertised. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Sucky *2024-12-25, version 1.0.11* Won’t let me on the app, keeps kicking me off. ### 3/5 — — *2022-05-18* Amazing product but the app crashing is jus too unbearable for 30 if i new the app was gone keep crashing i would have found a remote ### 3/5 — Vivitar LED Studio Light *2022-02-23* Everything work perfectly the only thing I’d suggest is a “shuffle” button where the lights fade through the colors on its own without you having to do it manually ### 3/5 — App needs more functions *2021-11-27* I absolutely love the light don’t get me wrong, I only use it for lighting my room up and it works great. I would give this product a five star rating if there were more modes to automatically change colors. The light is capable because when I bought it and first plugged it in it was cycling colors………. Throw some cool color changing modes in and if you can make variable speeds and stuff --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
