Half decent

Cool to change colors when the colors actually work—the pink and purple are suddenly gone

Shiny Lights

I like this app! It does its job well and it’s super easy to connect. Instead of having a select few colors to change through like the physical remotes, you get the whole color wheel to choose from! I also like the styles where the lights display multiple colors at a time like a miniature disco party. However, there is one thing that this app needs—customizable presets where you can select a specific color instead of having to find it yourself making your own styles would be cool too

Overall, really good app. Just needs a little more customization

Good but could be better

Wish there was a diy option when you could build your own color scene

Stopped working

Just stopped working. App sucks and is glitchy af. Don’t waste your money.

Lights are turning on and off at random times

For the first year and a half the lights worked perfectly fine but now at random times of the day they will turn on with random solid colors and sometimes rapidly change for no reason even with the app deleted

App is fine

The app does what it’s suppose to do. The only thing I wish for is it to connect with Alexa.

Missing important feats

Where are "warm light", "soft light", "night light" ???

You provide all these 20 useless combinations yet don't offer the most essential ones?

Won’t stay connected

It keeps forgetting the schedule I set and just stays on. Very annoying. Going to try the Lotus Lantern app someone else suggested

Do not buy this brand.

This app absolutely does nothing. All the reviews are either fake or old. I’m returning this product.

Horrible

I would give this app 0 stars if I could. Just set up my bookshelf and the lights straight out of the box aren’t working correctly on their own or with the app. The app will only register my lights half of the time and when it does, it does nothing still. This app is garbage and so is the quality of the items the company sells.

Mad

This was hung sucks I can’t even connect I spend over 2 hours and still won’t work

Great App

Lights and patterns are pretty consistent. A little delay in turning off the lights, however, beautiful pattern when turning it off!

Recommend

This did take some time to connect but you just have to go to your Bluetooth and connect it it works very well and I would defiantly recommend.

Colors

I wanted to change it to pumpkin orange I put in the color code and it doesn’t change I turned the lights off and on and still nothing. Disappointed

Complete Garbage

The possibility of what this app could do is amazing. However, there are a lot of functional issues with it. The lights are constantly changing settings and colors. They pop on and off at all hours of the day. Nothing like starting your day off with a seizure when the lights start violently strobing at 3:00 AM. It’s frustrating that there is no way to control who has access to your lights in the app. If you living in a multi-home dwelling, like an apartment, get used to every neighbor being able to adjust your lights.

Lame

The built-in modes are ugly. You cannot adjust colors for the modes. You can only adjust the color for the “one color” mode. Otherwise you are stuck with their truly horrible patterns and colors. I can program better looking modes with my eyes closed. I will be replacing the controller with my own custom one.

Turn on by itself

I have a led badge I got off TikTok. I turn off the badge in the app and every morning the led badge is on! I even tried to delete the app after I turn it off and it still turns on by itself.

Terrible app

Strip lights themselves are not bad to start with for the price, app on the other hand is a waste of time, had to reinstall 3 times so it could find the lamps after seeing someone else’s review having the same issue. When they all connected to my app none of them sync up what I find really annoying, should be an option to sync for music

Please update your app

The lights and wires are nice and sturdy now so I take it you are getting better, I hope you can update the app too, specifically the mic function should more versatility and patterns.

Don’t buy

Didn’t connect I’ve been sitting here for thirty minutes and nothing with auto connect like really my light strip is still flashing colours just to say it does that when you plug it in
