Removed features

Removed the ability to sync music to the lights. That was the whole reason I bought the lights in the first place. Big disappointment

Sometimes works, but a pain in the a….

These lights were on sale at my local hardware store, 24 lights for 24.99 (former price $85))). I bought two strings, then added a third. They worked for awhile - you can make and store your own patterns - but after a few days the controller started dropping the connection and the lights now blink randomly. Patterns will work until you change your phone screen, then it’s chaos. There have been no app upgrades for a few years, not a good sign. I think these are going back to the store.

Terrible 🤦🏽‍♀️

Hi, i was going to download this app because i searched up on safari “what app can i download to change the color of my LED lights?” And this popped up it looked cool so i downloaded it it took 1 second to download which i was surprised and went on to it and i didn’t have to sign up or anything, but i had to turn on Bluetooth. Totally fine! I clicked on a color and it didn’t work. I clicked help and it said to unplug my LED lights then plug them back in. So i did. Didn’t work. Terrible app do not recommend.

2.2.1 update

Lumen play night mare will not control all the sets resets ever time and loses memory

Why remove the music feature?

I really loved the music feature. I would like for y’all to please add the music feature back. And maybe also add some more effects options for the lights as well! But I will always love these lights!

Timer removed

Please add it back this destroyed my favorite aspect of these lights

Nice lights

This is our second year to put these up. They are well made and very beautiful. We have fun changing our custom scenes almost daily and there are plenty of different effects.

Please PLEASE bring back the timer function and the music feature. We chose these lights over other brands specifically because of the “dancing lights” capability. That was truly special.

Hate them now

Put the timer function back in the app!

Worst app ever

Pairing with iPhone/pad - takes forever. Do NOT upgrade! Features that were there last year were taken away. Not my idea of an improvement, plus, you are right back to step one.
App rarely opens to the home page and there is no way to get out of “looking for strand” page, so, if you want to turn it on or off, put on your slippers, you will be heading outside.

Please bring back the timer.

I do enjoy these lights and have been using them for years. So spending an hour trying to find the timer function assuming I forgot where is was just to find out it’s been removed is very annoying and confusing.

Never works

This app never works. It always says it has no connection even when standing next to it. I would not recommend.

Disappointed with App

Spent the last hour trying to get the schedule to work only to find out it’s not in the app anymore. So I have to turn them in and off everyday. Won’t buy anymore of these.

Does what I need it to

There’s a few missing features from when these were foray released. IE. you can’t set them to music and there’s no timer. Mine still turn on at 7pm automatically but I have to manually turn them off which is a big pain because you have to be really close to the Bluetooth box to connect, so it would be just as easy to plug/unplug them myself everyday.

Why in the world would you get rid of the music option?!?

We really liked these lights. But that was mainly because we could set them to music. They are basic, boring lights now that I can’t put them to music.

Removed on / off timer - awful

Other than changing colors the on / off timer feature in the app was the best part. For some unknown reason they removed the the on / off timer... now you have to individually connect and turn on each strand at night and turn off each strand before bed. A conventional timer and extension cords may work like normal lights but... wait for it... THESE LIGHTS ARE RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE!!
(Note to developer: put the timer back)

Music please?

I love them, I’ve had mine for about 4 years now and the bulbs are just not starting to not act normal, I really loved the music part of the lights, it was probably one of my most favorite things to do whenever I got home was turn on my lights and listen to music, please bring back the music option because I know I’m not the only one who m
Misses it

Need timer

This is a great product. But why was the timer feature removed from app? Please bring it back.

Bring Back the Timer Function!

Used these lights on my store. Had them on Timer. Please bring this function back. Also, there’s not as many color choices as you might think. Would rather just pick colors rather than the slider.

App update lost timer

We loved these lights until the app update took the timer away. Now the lights are basically useless. I am not going to get on a ladder every time to plug them in to turn them on and off. If I could return them I would. ZERO stars

Where did the timer function go?

The app no longer allows scheduling the lights to go on and off. What gives? Is the developer approach to simply remove the functions that are buggy from the app???
