The colour wheel is an amazing way to get more specific colours and work well for shades of blue and purple while only decent with the pinks and greens, they are missing some spectrum, example: when it comes to light greens as a lot of if is shows up almost white. The yellows, oranges and reds though? Practically non existent. Orange is either shows up as a very light yellow or a deep orange, there isn’t much in between and most of the red spectrum just becomes magenta 2.0. The yellow is practically white all the way until you reach its most saturated point, only then is it yellow. One of my other problems is with the DIY section, I can’t find a way to edit what’s already been made which feels very necessary when there is no preview option either. I also wish you could have the dynamic frames copy and paste over so I wouldn’t have to save 100 colours every time or maybe even a “recently used” section for the colours would do. I truly hope this review is used to help improve the app because the I’m emotionally attached to these lights now and would love if they were just improved instead of me having to admit defeat and throw these ones away for new ones. ### 2/5 — Does the job but… *2026-05-08, version 1.1.5* So as the title says, the app does the job however it has numerous issues. You often have to close it and reopen it as it decides it doesn’t want to connect to your Bluetooth device on the first attempt. Despite the fact this app is for a product you’ve already purchased with money I’m not sure why it has constant spammy ads plastered all over it. When I’ve paid for a product that has app functionality I do not expect to have a dodgy ad pop up that “you’ve been visiting too many adult websites and your account has been blocked.” … The developers of this app seriously need to do better in this regard as it’s not acceptable considering they’ve already had money, hence why this app has been downloaded in the first place. ### 2/5 — No connection *2026-04-25, version 1.1.5* The Bluetooth on my phone says it’s connected, but not the app, and I’ve tried to connect many different times ### 2/5 — Bluetooth not working *2026-03-30, version 1.1.5* After I changed the lamp beads on the app, the device bluetooth disconnected to my phone, the light turn off and can not turn on 🥲 ### 2/5 — Bad app *2026-03-13, version 1.1.5* Makes you watch an ad if you want to turn your lights on or off. ### 2/5 — helpful app, annoying ads *2026-02-27, version 1.1.5* It lets you have a lot of control over the light but it has a forced wait for an ad as soon as you start the app so you can’t even turn the lamp on without an ad if you are across the room ### 1/5 — Why *2026-01-30* Why do we even have to connect to these stupid things the other apps that I download do not have to connect they should make it like this so I don’t spend 30 minutes of my life trying to connect the stupid hexagon lights to my phone in reality. It just turns back off and I have to do it again. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect to lamp *2026-01-18, version 1.1.5* You have to watch ads before you can even use and for some reason it can never connect to the lamp after 12am ### 3/5 — Poor logistics *2026-01-15* Apps fine, but to set the time on/off, the light needs to be on. If I want it to turn off at a certain time it works beautifully, but the light won’t turn back on unless manually done so. I wanted this to simulate morning in a room that gets little light. :( ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2026-01-14, version 1.1.5* The things keep changing color on its own the connection speed is kinda slow why the heck are there ads? how and why the heck did they change colors on their own? ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-01-11, version 1.1.5* The thing doesn’t even work even when i change the ports ### 1/5 — shocking! *2026-01-11, version 1.1.5* such a bad app just always disconnects you and lags ### 1/5 — The app is fine it’s the product thats bad *2025-12-31, version 1.1.5* I recently bought the hexagon lights off of Amazon and these things suck. They don’t stick to the wall at all. I have to buy different sticky things to get them to stick to the wall and sometimes they don’t even connect properly. ### 2/5 — Too many bugs *2025-12-30* Easy to setup but then it’s downhill. If you leave the app open, it’s impossible reconnect the light to Bluetooth. You have to close it out and open back up for it to connect. This could have been Alexa compatible and instead give us a weak app. They just want to be able to show you a bunch of ads instead of being a really functional app. ### 2/5 — App Speed is very poor *2025-12-30, version 1.1.5* App takes so long to load and connect EVERY time you open in that you might as well do it manually, works when it finally loads though. ### 1/5 — This sucks *2025-12-26, version 1.1.5* Music button doesn’t work after 2 uses, lights try to glitch out when trying to change out color with app, full screen ads on a product I already paid for. ### 1/5 — Awful product awful app *2025-12-26, version 1.1.5* Its a scam. To grab your data and sell you adds. App doesnt work. Lights dont work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — why are there ads *2026-08-10, version 1.1.7* why am i forced to watch ads before i can use the product i already purchased ### 1/5 — ADS *2026-08-06, version 1.1.7* It’s a cool light. Opting for using the remote because playing constant ads on an app to turn the lights on/off is crazy work. ### 1/5 — watch ads to use your lights *2026-08-01, version 1.1.7* in what universe is it acceptable to force people to watch ads in order to use a lamp that they paid for? i would have ignored it if they were simple banner ads but they take up the entire screen and force you to sit there and wait before you can turn your lights on. incredibly greedy and i will not be buying any more products from this company. ### 1/5 — This is so bad *2026-06-08, version 1.1.7* This is useless like if get in the app, it’s trying to pair my hexagon lights. I’m giving this a 1 Star Rating! Do you hear me!! ### 1/5 — Alexa Support *2026-06-06, version 1.1.7* Please please please in the next update can you include Amazon Alexa integration!!! It would make this device wonderful! Thank you ### 1/5 — App sucks *2026-05-11, version 1.1.5* The app is horrible to use, I can’t connect to my actual lamp 9/10. ### 1/5 — Purchased lamp and it has ADs??? *2026-03-07, version 1.1.5* How is it I buy a product that comes with this app and it has ads before I can actually turn the lamp on and off. Poor poor design for this. ### 1/5 — Popup Ads! *2026-03-05* Every time you want to adjust your light, boom pop up add and need to wait five seconds to skip. I already paid for the lamp, and the app requires no servers that would cost money. Unfortunately if you made it this far you probably already bought the lamp, but hopefully not too late to return it. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-02-09, version 1.1.5* Why are there ads on an app for a product that I already paid for… I don’t want to have to watch an ad while I’m changing my lights to red to get spicy ### 1/5 — Extremely disappointed *2026-02-07, version 1.1.5* Lights’ connection to WiFi immediately fails and cannot reconnect. I’m extremely upset I wasted my money on these lights. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fixed it dumb *2026-06-24* Thank you I’ll be nice I was always dumb. I love the music function. Especially red but that’s embarrassing ### 5/5 — Neon rope lights *2026-05-15, version 1.1.5* These lights are really good quality and i recommend them to people that arnt on getting them ### 5/5 — These are amazing lights :) *2025-06-30, version 1.1.3* These lights are cool and colorful and grate to lighten any of your rooms . Great for kids rooms. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-06-20, version 1.1.3* 😎😉😋🍪😆😎😀😃😄😁 It’s gooood. ### 5/5 — Very easy to set up and navigate *2025-05-06, version 1.1.2* I have two devices that use this app and overall very happy. Easy to set up and navigate with options to choose a solid colour or choose from what feels like an endless array of scenes. Always connects fast to my devices and responds instantly when I change the colour or scene. A great, fast, easy to use app that doesn’t crash and always works. Can’t really fault it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-01-13* surprisingly a great and simple to use app. no issues using for past 3 months ### 5/5 — Love it - Super solid lamp - company listens to customers and fixes bugs *2024-12-26* Someone left a review about how with the scenes section of the app , all the lights had the fade in and out effect and she wished they didn’t (fair) and now they don’t except for ones that make sense like “disco” and neon lights or whatever and that’s super cool that they listen to the people. I appreciate that. The app works beautifully now, connects every time I open it up. I got this for Christmas this year 2024 and it’s dope. I’ve been wanting one forever and this one is perfect. 10/10. The sunset colors are 🤤🤤🤤 ### 5/5 — So many features! *2024-03-22, version 1.0.4* This app has literally everything that I wanted and loved, though I’m still not quite sure how the dynamics work, it’s still awesome. Thank you :) ### 5/5 — Magic color！ *2024-01-24* It's like magic with colors! Whether I want a cozy pink sunset or a crazy, colorful party light show. ### 5/5 — Nice product, nice app *2023-12-25, version 1.0.2* I really like it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
