It allows me to change the speed with careful finger placement but the brightness absolutely cannot be changed. Please move the bar back down where it used to be or allow us to “drop down” the bar ***Update: I tried to send photos of the issue to “Feedback” but it had a similar issue. It’s like the entire interface has been scrunched down into a square instead of utilizing the entire screen which caused multiple controls to overlap. PLEASE FIX BECAUSE YOUR APP IS BARELY USABLE AT THIS POINT. ### 2/5 — The timer is not working correctly. *2026-08-08* The timer needs to be fixed. It would be better to specify the time when the lighting should be on. Currently, the lighting always turns on when the vehicle is started. This is inconvenient, as I have to turn it off manually since there is no way to specify a time when it should not come on. ### 4/5 — I WISH *2026-08-05, version 5.8.11* I wish we can pick our own color when LED lights are on External Mic instead of it just flashing random colors it’s a bit overwhelming but I still love the LED lights hopefully this is an update to the app ### 3/5 — DONT TRUST IT *2026-08-03, version 5.8.11* I think this app has hackers on it so I just use the lights the lights look super good and they work really well. I love them, but this app is sketchy. ### 1/5 — It kind of works *2026-08-02, version 5.8.11* So I’ve been I just got this. I just signed up and I just tried to play music that I had on my phone gave it to me and it just doesn’t work. It just plays the pre-made music that they made. I just that’s the thing I hate about it. ### 1/5 — Useless app *2026-08-01, version 5.8.11* I followed all the instructions but no matter what I do, the lighting strip will not respond to the app controls. Not even a little. This sucks and is more frustrating than it’s worth. I would not recommend this to an enemy let alone someone I liked. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2026-07-31, version 5.8.11* I couldn’t even try the app cause it won’t connect so it doesn’t even turn on!! ### 1/5 — ESTAFA *2026-07-27, version 5.8.11* No funciona ni con mando ni con la app ### 2/5 — Inaccessibility Issues *2026-07-27, version 5.8.11* Works well with the intended lights. HOWEVER, the app itself is not user friendly if you have more than 1 set of lights. You cannot change the size of the text or the color under Group Manager or in the settings (very small dark blue text on a black background). Yes you can change the background style but this only changes the background where you pick the colors of the light not the actual settings menu or Group Manger. You also cannot change the name of the lights and are stuck with a random letter and number code so you better memorize what unique code matches which set of lights because you cannot simply change it to "bedroom", or "living room", etc. I will probably try to find a different brand of lights that are set up to a different app next time solely because of the apps inaccessibility. ### 3/5 — The led lights are alright *2026-07-26, version 5.8.11* They are good but they are a tiny bit dark and the app is quite varied and you can do alot of stuff on it but overall i think these could definitely be worth the money ### 1/5 — Said no to microphone permission, lights don’t work now *2026-07-26, version 5.8.11* App asked for microphone permission and I said no. Lights turned off when I said no and won’t turn back on. Tried toggling Bluetooth, unplugged and plugged back in. Nothing seems to work. Incredibly shady ### 1/5 — Проблемы с включением светодиодной ленты *2026-07-26* После последнего обновления (24.07.26) светодиодная лента вообще не включается. Приложение позволяет её выключить, но когда пытаешься включить — ничего не происходит. Сколько раз ни нажимай. Переустановка приложения не помогла, сама светодиодная лента тоже в полном порядке и работает стабильно при смене цвета и выключении света. Всё еще включается с пульта из комплекта, но тот еле функционирует, поэтому это приложение было так важно. ### 1/5 — Way too hard to control the lights *2026-07-25, version 5.8.11* This app is so terrible please don’t these lights and I still can’t connect to my light or contact anyone ### 3/5 — Use my music *2026-07-25, version 5.8.11* I’m extremely disappointed I can’t use my music, everything else is good but still. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2026-08-15, version 5.8.12* Junk. Cant make your own designs. Has pre installed ones only . Waste of money ### 1/5 — False *2026-08-14, version 5.8.12* I scanned the QR code and it brought me to the website and told me I had to download the app so I did and IT DID NOT WORK and sadly I cannot give zero stars so since I’m forced to I give you 1 even though you deserve none ### 1/5 — Не работает *2026-08-11* До этого все было нормально, включал с телефона без проблем, но сейчас ее приходится включать с пульта с 10 раза может да и получится, но в приложении я ее могу выключить без проблем менять яркость и цвет. Когда исправите проблему?! ### 1/5 — Suggestion *2026-08-11, version 5.8.11* Please fix the schedule feature that doesn’t save. ### 1/5 — Не работает *2026-08-10* К Айфону 17 про мах не подключается приложение ### 1/5 — Question *2026-08-09, version 5.8.11* I got a led lamp that came with a paper to download this app, how do you connect the lamp to your device to change colors??? ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-08-09, version 5.8.11* The app does not connect to the lights at all. I have reset the lights un installed the app reset my blue tooth. Nothing works. Highly disappointed with these lights and app. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-09, version 5.8.11* Sometimes it connects, majority of the time it doesn’t ### 1/5 — Does not connect light with app *2026-08-08, version 5.8.11* No matter how many times I reset the app or unplug and replug the light strip, it won’t show up to pair. I can see it as an option in my Bluetooth settings, but not on the app. Will there be a fix?? ### 1/5 — . *2026-08-06, version 5.8.11* не скачивайте! я скачала приложение и название сразу сменилось на «фонарь» через несколько часов скачалось приложение « я слежу за тобой» я не заходила в него и удалила эти два приложения ответьте пожалуйста почему это произошло ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works amazing! *2026-08-13, version 5.8.12* i connected the app to some LEDS and you can do many colours, play music and the lights match the rhythm, and speak into it and the lights will match your voice! It’s so good love it, also can control on and off! ### 5/5 — So much fun I’m seven and it’s so much fun to use in the dark so when your scared *2026-08-01, version 5.8.11* 10/10 ### 5/5 — Alexa *2026-07-28, version 5.8.11* Hello I would like to know if this app is compatible with Alexa ### 5/5 — good app *2026-07-23, version 5.8.11* i dont know why everyone complaining its working nice ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-07-20, version 5.8.10* Works good bed to get and have led lights with ### 5/5 — Good for what I do *2026-07-17, version 5.8.10* I only use it to turn the lights on and off and change colors and it’s never let me down ### 5/5 — It’s good *2026-07-02, version 5.8.10* Works great no complaints it’s a free app that came with lights there isn’t anything to complain about ### 5/5 — So far so good *2026-06-28, version 5.8.10* Just got this app so far so good. The brightness and speed is a little delayed, but it works. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2026-06-23, version 5.8.10* Does the job perfectly! The only improvement would be user created presets, but these can be handled easily through a software update. My recommended settings: 7 color crossfade, Speed 50% Brightness 10% ### 5/5 — Secondo me *2026-06-18, version 5.8.10* Non lo so meravigliosa vedo tutte recensioni di 5 anni fa però ad oggi nel 2026 posso dire la uso da più di un anno con vari dispositivi e mi ci trovo una meraviglia mai avuto problemi per me è magnifica --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
