Junk

Total junk and they charge $$$$ for all of their products. No support and emails go unanswered.

Failed to add device

I spent countless hours trying to figure out how to connect the grow lights to this app. I gave up!

Spent HOURS but no dice

The fixture I spent 229 dollars on has lost major functionality, because I can’t get the app to add my device. So now I’m not able to use timers or dimmers or anything on the app. Spent several evenings, hours, trying to troubleshoot. My IT person (works in IT) got onto my computer remotely and looked at various settings and at what was trying to connect, etc., and he did say the app is connecting to everything it needs to, but after troubleshooting every possible avenue he could think of, said maybe it’s the light fixture. I don’t know how to determine what’s wrong where but it looks like I paid a lot of money for a device I can’t connect to the app. Frustrating and very disappointing. :(

Be aware of this ptoduct

The App does not work. Planter is not useful.

Needs access to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in order to dim the light.

There is no good reason why anyone should have to connect to both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth just to dim the light. They could have easily put a switch on the oversized power button but didn’t. If someone wants to use the app features ok that’s cool I guess, but needing Wi-Fi and bluetooth just to turn the brightness up and down? Ridiculous

If you put a thousand monkeys with typewriters in a room, they will write better code than this app

Nothing works, this should be simple.

Awful app for an awful product

I was forced to “upgrade” to their app-controlled experience when I sent my grow frame in for warranty service. Unfortunately the schedules I set regularly do not run and every time the app updates itself the schedule gets disabled. I’m not sure why they’re overburdening the very simple concept of a timer with wifi connectivity and an app that clearly doesn’t work.

useless app

I purchased one of the ModSprout light fixtures for my mother. After spending more than three hours, trying to connect to the light, I have given up. I tried using my mother's Samsung phone and my Apple iPhone. Neither would ever connect to the light. The app is extremely finicky, requiring me to enter my Wi-Fi password over six times each time I try to connect to the light. I intimately know the password for my Wi-Fi. I even turned the Wi-Fi password off to see if I can get it to connect and still no success. I followed every step that the app required to make connection. Therefore, I would deem this a crap app.

Changed my apartment!

I love my modsprout tech.The app more than helps me being forgetful/opening my curtains. Succulents can now survive!

No 5G = Useless

Title says it all.

Frustrating experience

Instructions that came with the Growframe does not match what’s in the app. I cannot connect my Growframe to the app. I’ve been trying for an hour. So far the user experience of unboxing the Growframe, hanging the Growframe, and connecting to the app is extremely frustrating.

Consistently Drops Connections

One of the worst app and smart lights I’ve dealt with. Connected multiple smart life devices using another app but these grow lights just drop connection all the time then go into a flashing modes that require reconnection. They need to fix the firmware for a consistent connection. This is the only device on our network that has an issue.

Simple to use growlight

Once I figured out my 2.4 gig network (it doesn’t work on 5 g) using the app was really easy and I get so much satisfaction from watching my plants grow!

iPad Air compatible?

Does this app work on an iPad? Could not get it to connect. We are in an apartment complex with a shared secure network.
