### 2/5 — Vegas were better

*2025-05-18*

I owned the AI Vegas for years and loved them. When one of my Vegas died I had to “upgrade” to the hydra 64s. They are not nearly as user friendly as the Vegas in the app. No weather features. No location options to mimic the sun from current location. Just way less features which is crazy since it’s a phone application. Should have way more features. Totally unimpressive.

### 3/5 — ログイン不能

*2025-03-02, version 3.22*

指先で光量のカーブを弄るのがシビアな以外は便利に使えていたのですが、久々に設定を変更しようと立ち上げたらログインできません。サ終しちゃったんか？

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-03-01, version 3.22*

This app and constantly trying to configure my devices is the sole reason I’m getting rid of my AI products.

### 1/5 — Fed up with Aqua Illumination

*2025-02-21, version 3.22*

Constantly having to factory reset lights and the app doesn't work 2/3 of the time!!

### 1/5 — Timezone issue

*2025-02-10, version 3.22*

My nero and ai prime not starting and i seen date and time informations are not correct im updating but 1-2 day later same thing happen

### 1/5 — Time resets.

*2025-02-09, version 3.22*

The latest update introduced a bug where the timer resets to the first of Jan 1970 which throws off the schedule and causes the lighting and pumps to bug out. Kind of renders the app pointless.

### 1/5 — Not Easy To Use

*2024-12-12, version 3.21*

This is a terrible app. I was only able to get one device added and cannot add another. The device is the light for my tank and it isn’t easy to adjust the time for it. You have to delete the whole light schedule in order to set up a new one rather than adjust what you. The app also times out for no reason. It’s just a terrible app.

### 1/5 — Awful App

*2024-11-14, version 3.19*

How many years does it take for you to fix this app? Constant time out issues. 

I’m done with AI. Purchased competition

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-11-07, version 3.19*

I constantly have to reset this thing, it never runs the proper light cycle for more than a week.  Constantly come home and my lights are off for no reason.  The app will say that they are running perfectly then they are shut off.  Pathetic.

### 2/5 — 可不可以有中文

*2024-09-07, version 3.18*

拜託出中文版本

### 1/5 — よくわからない

*2024-07-17, version 3.18*

数年ぶりにルーターを買い換えたのですが、接続設定がうまくいかず接続出来なくなった。原因がよく分からない状態です。
なので現状光量などの設定が以前のままで変更出来なくなりました。
そもそも光量もバーの設定だけでやりにくい。操作性も良くありません。

### 1/5 — DON’T DO IT!!!

*2024-04-22, version 3.18*

JUST TRY TO REACH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE BEFORE YOU PURCHASE AND YOU WILL DISCOVER A COMPANY THAT DOESN’T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT’s PRODUCTS.

### 1/5 — doesn't connect to cellular?!!'

*2024-02-15, version 3.18*

i would have to shut my cellular data off to connect to wifi to control app?!!👎🏼

### 3/5 — Problema con la fecha

*2024-02-14, version 3.18*

Todos los días se cambia y hay que estar revisando para que mo afecte al acuario

### 4/5 — Weird time issue

*2024-01-30, version 3.17*

Time issue where it periodically changed the date and time to some random year. So in the afternoon it thinks it is the middle of the night.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t be worse

*2023-12-09, version 3.17*

If you want to turn your lights on or off, be prepared to click it 30+ times, getting either a “cannot connect to server” error, or “connection timeout - check your wireless connection”

Absolute morons at this company

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Might be worst ever

*2026-02-09, version 3.24*

Can’t turn off pump lower than 1% in the app unless you turn them all off.  Or put them in  separate tanks in the app.  Then you lose the ability to put all the pumps in feed mode with a single controller.   For longer maintenance you have to kill the power and pray the program runs correctly when you restart.

### 1/5 — Time set to future time

*2026-01-19, version 3.24*

The time won’t stay set, always sets to this day in the year 2069. Which obviously messes with my lighting schedule. Please fix

### 1/5 — Very buggy

*2026-01-14, version 3.24*

If I could give this negative stars I would. Considering the price of the hardware I’d expect the application to function properly but every other month the light turns on and off because the date and time function breaks. Terrible terrible application with tons of bugs.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-09-03, version 3.23*

This doesn’t work well. Very difficult to set a schedule and have it actually run that schedule 👎

### 1/5 — Ai prime 16

*2025-07-04, version 3.22*

WONT UPDATE IVE DONE EVERYTHING

### 1/5 — Works Great Until it Doesn’t

*2025-07-03, version 3.22*

Aurgh. Light works perfectly for over a year. Noticed there was a firmware update, so I applied it. Now nothing works. Light never goes on. Updating the time on the light gets it to go on until night and then nothing. So frustrating for something that should just work.

### 1/5 — Why only Bluetooth???

*2025-06-15*

When this app works, cool, it does great. But the limitation of only a Bluetooth connection instead of WiFi like RedSea and others, for one, you have to be right in front of your aquarium to make changes, and two, IT DOESN’T CONNECT HALF THE TIME!!! Very frustrating to want to make a change, or turn off a pump and then you can’t even access your tank! Mine sends me back to the first prompt of selecting my tank, which I’ve done 20 times already!

### 1/5 — Worse!

*2025-04-27, version 3.22*

Worse app to set up might as well given me manual knobs

### 1/5 — BLE Not Connected

*2025-04-06, version 3.22*

The app is solid when it connects. The problem is, this error is the story of this app’s life.

### 1/5 — App Stinks

*2025-03-02, version 3.22*

App has so many issues from not recognizing devices to not being reliable to work when I needed. Not easy to navigate. Works when you set it and forget it, but if you’re looking for an intuitive app that’s easy to use then this is not it.

### 5/5 — Perfekte App

*2026-06-20, version 3.24*

Funktioniert super, habe 2x die Hydra 32 und von Plankton Plus die Einstellung erhalten.

Die Lampen sind der Wahnsinn und die App dazu Intuitiv.

### 5/5 — OU812Reefing

*2025-07-15, version 3.22*

AI app works great no problem using or navigating would definitely recommend

### 5/5 — Works great

*2025-05-27, version 3.22*

I don’t think the 1 star reviews should still be around, there from years ago.

### 5/5 — Japanese language

*2024-09-26, version 3.19*

Please respond in Japanese.

Japanese language

### 5/5 — Where are the instructions?

*2023-03-22, version 3.15*

The package I got came with a QR code for the setup process. I scanned it and it just takes me to a support site with no videos.

### 5/5 — Works awesome

*2022-12-04, version 3.14*

The app has always worked great.
I love the lights! I use it with Hydra and Prime

### 5/5 — Nero5 preset sharing

*2022-09-04, version 3.14*

Hi,
I would love to users to share there presets to other users..!!!

### 5/5 — Does the job without fuss.

*2022-06-16*

I’ve had two AI prime light running on my tank for two years with help of this app. In the beginning I slowly ramped up the light schedule month by month. When ever I had to update the schedule it was very easy and straight forward. I know from the bit of app development I’ve done that’s not easy.

### 5/5 — Confused about the negative reviews

*2021-08-26*

Look, I’m pretty tech savvy, and this app has worked flawlessly for me, in conjunction with both my AI Prime 16HD and my Nero 3. I think what we have here is a fundamental “user error” problem. I’m not saying everyone who has struggled with this is bad at basic Bluetooth tech, and I’m sure the early adopters had their fair share of bugs, but this app and its compatibility with A.I. devices is super slick now. I’ve loved it. If there were bugs, they’re fixed, and I believe a bevy of these negative reviews stemmed from people who just aren’t very technologically adept.

### 5/5 — REAL REVIEW !!! PLEASE READ !!!!

*2021-06-27*

Let me start off by saying DO NOT let those other reviews discourage or make you think twice about purchasing the light and using the interface!! The app works seamlessly it took 2secs to connect and a little time to play around with the adjustments to your liking… I suggest putting it on acclimate depending on your previous lighting equipment. But other than than that everything works like a charm between the light and the App. Maybe some people just had bad luck or lack common sense… but either way if I could give this 10 out of 5 i definitely will !!.
