### 2/5 — Love the new animations-keep adding them!

*2025-05-17*

05/16/25 UPDATE:
Actually, I do have a complaint. The App is janky at Best. When you open it, the app does not allow you to select your favorites... you have to go to the animation menu first, then select some option then maybe your favorite will actually work. This seems like a very simple fix so I don't understand why the app has been broken for pretty much the last three years. Also, is it expensive to add more light pattern options?? if not, seems like we could have a lot more at this point since I think the last update that provided four or five new light patterns was 1 or 2 yrs ago. 


Old review:👎
The nightshift is such a huge jump in quality, variety of colors, and animations. Love it! Keep the updates coming!don't have any complaints about the product-it's great, which is the main point. Yes, it's annoying if you're riding and go to open the app at a stoplight but it disconnected-but really, is not like the lights shut off; plus the main point is.... you're riding. 

IMO, if you want to sit there and scroll thru color and pattern options,  you really CAN, and probably should, wait until your next stop.  Plus, re-pairing the app takes all of 3-4 seconds, insignificant in the scheme of things.

### 5/5 — Off switch from the app?

*2025-05-03*

I think the product is great but maybe having an off switch on the app would be a nice creature comfort feature.

### 4/5 — Please make the app available on the Apple Watch

*2024-10-17*

Please update this app to run on Apple Watch it be so much easier to control the light settings through my watch while riding my motorcycle.

*2023-05-07*

I pre ordered this one! Waited a very long time for this and it has a difficult time connecting. Smh It rarely works as expected

### 5/5 — Great product

*2023-01-23, version 1.5.6*

10/10 works great only thing I wish for is to have more lighting patterns. Because there’s only a handful to choose from.

### 2/5 — App crashes 2022 iPhone se

*2022-07-05*

I just received my Night Shift lights today. The app worked perfect. Turned off the receiver shut down the app. When I rebooted both the app started crashing. Kind of bummed. I’ve ordered Night Shift in March. Now it’s July. And it doesn’t work very well. I hope you can fix this app problem. The Night 

Shift lights themselves are excellent. Easy install quality seems good. If you fix the app it will be perfect.

### 5/5 — Night Shift
