This app is a gem in the sense that you don’t have to make an account to use it (incredible these days) and you don’t even have to connect your light to WiFi, it’s all Bluetooth! I love how fast it was to setup and connect. Yes you have to be close to your light to switch colors/themes (duh) but it’s great that I don’t have to connect to the internet and it’s still wireless. Love the product and app. ### 1/5 — WIFI support is awful *2026-04-24, version 4.2.1* Cannot connect my brand new halo lamp to wifi. Flat out doesn't respond. Used to work on my lighthouse lamp and no longer functions there either. Team seems to be too busy playing with their 3d printer to fulfill their promises and ensure their app functions. It gets worse with every update. ### 1/5 — Nothing works *2026-04-07, version 4.1.1* I don’t know if I should blame the app or the light. But basically nothing works, over Bluetooth it works SOMETIMES, but even then the light will randomly glitch, and you can’t use it with any other smart home devices. Over WiFi mode nothing works, I’ve gotten it to where Alexa can turn it on and off, but that’s it. And even then half the time it’ll turn on to a random color. Plus when it’s on wifi mode NOTHING in the Moonside app works, I can’t turn it on or off, change the theme or color, nothing. The scenes you create in the app also don’t show up in Alexa or Google so once it’s on WiFi mode you can’t get it to do anything but turn on and off to (hopefully) the last color you had it set yo. To switch it back to Bluetooth mode you also need to turn off the WiFi itself, and then unplug and replug the device. Why would they not have built in a physical button to change modes?! It’s just not practical at all, the lights are pretty and unique, but are barely functional if you can’t reliably control them. ### 1/5 — Remove the AI recommended and improve the UI *2026-04-01, version 4.1.1* Whoever had the brilliant idea of adding “AI recommended” (that doesn’t even work and just obstructs the UI) please find another job. I love the lamo but the app is poorly designed. Its way too over engineered for something that should be really simple. ### 1/5 — Won’t find Bluetooth *2026-02-16, version 4.0.1* Won’t find lamps or anything had to reset the app and know won’t find lamps at all now ### 1/5 — Broken promises broken lights *2026-01-12, version 3.4.2* Halo and many other lamps still don’t have HomeKit support as promised. App is so glitchy and doesn’t even set base colors correctly. It’s so disappointing to see such poor software support. ### 2/5 — MagLight *2025-09-12, version 3.4.1* Ich habe erhebliche Ladeprobleme. Das Gerät lässt sich nicht laden. Und in der App steht immer 50% Akku. Auch nachdem sich das Gerät komplett entladen hat steht weiterhin 50% Akku. Mit dem mitgelieferten Kabel lädt es gar nicht. Und ja, ich habe die Verbindung getrennt und neu mit dem Handy verbunden. Ja ich habe auch die App deinstalliert und nochmal installiert. Ja, ich habe gecheckt ob mein Kabel kompatibel ist. Ich hatte den Eindruck das der Kundenservice auch nichts mit meinem Problem zu tun haben wollte. Nochmal werde ich da nicht bestellen und auch nicht weiter empfehlen. ### 1/5 — WLAN Verbindung unmöglich *2025-09-02, version 3.4.1* Es ist nicht möglich die Lampe per WLAN zu verbinden. Man kann den Namen des Netzwerks nicht auswählen und es kommt keine Verbindung zustande. ### 1/5 — Problem *2025-04-14, version 3.3.7* why I can only sign in but can not sign up? ### 2/5 — The pair button is not functioning *2024-12-02, version 3.3.3* I disconnected my lamp because I was moving, and now I can connect back to it because the UI for the pair button does not work. ## Frequently asked questions about Moonside ### What does the Moonside app do?
