### 2/5 — Needs to be brighter

*2026-02-05, version 1.2.0*

Please issue a firmware update to fix the scenes that aren't very bright, even though brightness is set at 100% the light is dim. Please improve reliability of the connections as well.

### 3/5 — Ambient

*2023-12-26, version 1.2.0*

I really enjoy this lighting strip. There is a newer version that is capable of 4k and higher refresh rates. I don’t use the box it lowers the resolution of my 4k 120hz tv. I use all the app lighting modes. It looks great and wows people when the come over for the first time.

### 3/5 — Works great, except hdmi sync

*2022-04-18, version 1.1.2*

The product is great most of the time. But when I tried screen sync smart light, the light just goes off. I tried to reset it couple times but won’t do it

### 1/5 — This app is not ready for prime time

*2021-12-19, version 1.1.2*

The app is full of bugs. I was not able to add NED screen light strip. I had to use Android app instead (which does not work well either). The app also crashes all the time. Please find competent developers and fix it. Without the app the TV back light strip is useless.

### 2/5 — No Alexa and Freezes

*2021-12-04, version 1.0.14*

No Alexa and constantly freezes and has to be reset to work. When it does work it is amazing though.

### 1/5 — Connection Issues!

*2021-09-21, version 1.0.7*

Device will not connect to internet! It’s app user friendly but it will not connect automatically or manually! They need to get up to speed with this device as far a 4K 60-120hz, connection issues, etc. Its just not ready for the market just yet. but a thought idea of what they are trying to do.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2021-09-13, version 1.0.5*

Is impossible to connect Neo LED to the app, it just doesn't work!

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2025-06-15, version 1.2.0*

STILL ISSUES Backlit TV issues: randomly switches to different modes like sound rainbow instead of video. Also, once you click on the device, it pops up with “enable Bluetooth” but that’s already been done. Product is good, software needs bug fixes

### 1/5 — Unable to login

*2024-04-01, version 1.2.0*

For some reason, the iOS version is unable to login to the Lytmi account. Tried on an iPhone and iPad, and neither will login. The only way that I’m able to login is using an old Android device. Verified username and password are correct, it just doesn’t work on iOS devices.

### 1/5 — Does not connect

*2023-07-20, version 1.2.0*

I’ve tried everything to get this app to work to no avail. I’m connected to the Lytmi Home app but not the Lytmi app. It just won’t connect no matter what I try. Extremely disappointing.

### 1/5 — Does not sync

*2023-01-14, version 1.2.0*

This app doesn’t sync with the box making them both useless.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2022-11-25, version 1.2.0*

App is completely unusable no idea why it’s literally stopped working, having to now use the Tuya app

### 1/5 — Not running

*2022-11-20, version 1.2.0*

Hey, after that update, app do not work properly, please fix asap.

There is no possibility to add a new home and try to re set neo box

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-10-25, version 1.2.0*

Can’t connect to Neo

### 1/5 — Unable to add new scenes

*2022-06-15, version 1.1.2*

App is unable to show results for location search

### 1/5 — Doesnt work with Nvidia Shield

*2022-04-23, version 1.1.2*

Very disappointed after buying two sets only to find the Lytmi sync box prevents the Nvidia Shield from working.  Phillip sync box works, but these are not compatible.

### 1/5 — Network connection does not work!!!!

*2021-12-24, version 1.1.2*

plz fix it!!

### 5/5 — Light Bars will not Synchronize with my Neo Box

*2024-08-13, version 1.2.0*

My light bars used to sync with my Neo Box. I have reset them over and over and still light bars will not sync with box. I did all the steps to try to correct the problem but no luck. The light bars have a synchronize tab using the app but when click on it no proper connection to NEO box. I don’t know why it won’t sync up it used to add some good light effects when it did work correctly but now the light bars don’t connect properly…. Bummer !!

### 5/5 — Calidad

*2023-09-17, version 1.2.0*

Me encanta es un poco costoso pero hace su trabajo

### 5/5 — Does what it’s supposed to do

*2023-01-30, version 1.2.0*

It matches the entire perimeter of the screen including the bottom! The only drawback if that you MUST use the HDMI port. You can’t use the TV’s smart system.

### 5/5 — This will help you set up app

*2022-07-22, version 1.1.2*

If you cant connect app to your lights go to you're wifi and switch from you're 5G to regular it should help once you connect once you should be good

### 5/5 — App shut down itself

*2022-07-18, version 1.1.2*

Please fix it! I try to connect but failed because of app shut down itself 7 times

### 5/5 — Save Money

*2022-02-20, version 1.1.2*

### 5/5 — Works great

*2022-01-13, version 1.1.2*

Easy to install easy to use connected with no issues

### 5/5 — No issues like other reviewers

*2021-12-29, version 1.1.2*

Connected to app and Alexa flawlessly no issues. One of the corner brackets needed to be reenforced because the 3m tape came loose, otherwise this was an easy install and setup.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2021-09-19, version 1.0.7*

The lights work great. I was able to connect the lights to the TV and to Alexa app. The app has some glitches such as infinite loading Q&A screens and other tabs but I assume this is a new app and they are working through the bugs. 

So far looks great and the price is solid.
