I have a pair of RGB660 lights I use for photography and sometimes video calls. I use the iPhone app on my iPhone and I have installed it on my Mac as well. The device scanning takes a long time, and almost always fails. When I tap on one of the devices (which appear “Device offline”) it shows a “connecting…” and then Could not connect to the device.” Each of these takes idk 5-10 seconds. Sometimes, it works. For example, if I turn the light off and then back on, it may be recognized automatically or one if I tap on it. Sometimes, if I turn it on, and the bluetooth is showing on the display panel on the light the app just refuses to see the light. The impact of this is that I often must just go and switch the light off manually, which breaks any kind of hoped for continuity between sessions with the lights. Please take a deep look at the overall user experience of the light connection workflow and information you provide to the user on why a particular device is not seemingly available for connection. Please consider surfacing information like when a device was last scanned for etc. ### 2/5 — Problemas de emparejamiento *2026-07-12, version 3.7.1* No puedo enlazar para controlar con app ### 3/5 — Good but missing Siri / Shortcuts / IoT integration *2026-06-16* Would love to see the ability for Siri, Apple Shortcuts, and other IoT automation support. Being able to create a simple Shortcut or ask Siri to turn on lights would be a huge quality of life upgrade. Also unsure why you can only assign lights to one iOS device. Would be great if I could be able to control lights from all of my iOS devices. Hope the above features are on the roadmap! ### 2/5 — App is not user friendly *2026-03-23, version 3.6.1* I somehow got in the personal center and can’t find how to get back to my light ### 5/5 — Wonderful product! *2026-02-17, version 3.6.0* I’m getting into Low Level Landscape Lighting for photography. This light panel is really cool! And the software is so easy to use. ### 5/5 — Dozen Lights *2026-02-12, version 3.6.0* The newer app is awesome for adjusting the various lights. ### 5/5 — HB80C *2026-02-06, version 3.6.0* Excelente, calidad excepcional ### 3/5 — Annoying To Use On Multiple iPhones *2026-01-25* I love my Neewer products, but it’s very annoying that I can’t control it with multiple iPhones/iPads. It forces you to go thru the log-in process each time you change devices and automatically logs you off your other devices. I understand this maybe fo security reason, but this is where it becomes annoying and not easy to use. Please change this. If they change this I would give it 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👎📱📲 ### 5/5 — Excellent produit *2026-01-18, version 3.5.8* Merci beaucoup Je pourrai compléter avec mes flash ce super ajout de lumière NEEWER ### 4/5 — Need to rectify this please *2026-01-14, version 3.5.8* In Light Studio section: when I press play button for an FX like flame for example and go to other light to do the same, it immediately stops. ### 5/5 — When ‘budget gear’ doesn’t feel budget… *2026-01-13* Got into NEEWER products much earlier than I thought I did (found a bunch of NEEWER stuff for my old GoPro and DJI mini 1 in a drawer two days ago), and I realize now why it’s been such a staple in all of my photography and videography endeavors, both hobby and professional: It works. And it works WELL 😮‍💨. The level of creative freedom I have as a creator of unnecessarily complex images (I’ll admit that here where my staff will never see it *MUAH HA HA) is unparalleled for the price point of the lighting equipment I will be referring to for the sake of this review. The amount that I have done with these lights has consistently amazed clients and cohorts, but the amount of functionality that I HAVEN’T used keeps me excited about new potential applications. Shorty version: Great investment, Great App, Great value. ### 5/5 — Deleted all my lights *2026-01-08* I hadn’t used the app in a while. Upon my return it forced me to update it and then delete all my lights and favorites. Don’t force me to update if you’re gonna delete everything. :( ### 5/5 — Upgraded 660 Pro II video light *2025-12-30, version 3.5.8* Amazing bright little units and ideal for lighting my figurative oil painting studio with a fantastic app with too many features to list - very happy 😁 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fallos al ejecutar escenas *2026-06-20, version 3.7.0* Tengo tres modelos distintos y después de mucho pelear para organizar mis escenas no conseguí que no fallase, probé todo, también poner el iPhone 16 pro Max en modo avión y reiniciar mil veces, cuando pulsas sobre la escena para llamar la configuración se carga la anterior y tienes que pulsar dos tres o cuatro veces para que se ejecute. Si miras en el dispositivo parece que está todo correcto pero la luz no se actualiza a la nueva escena. Obligado a cambiar de marca y es una pena porque los efectos están mejor que los de Godox pero aquella no falla y NEEWER si ### 1/5 — AI garbage *2026-06-08, version 3.7.0* AI is just an excuse for data mining. It’s a light. It doesn’t write PhD dissertations or make fake Picasso paintings. Removing the yet another app from greedy companies. I have a lot of neewer gear but the company has gone pure greed and will no longer be purchasing from them. Another update that fixes nothing. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Garbage! *2026-05-09, version 3.6.4* This app is incredibly frustrating! It’s constantly glitchy. You can press a key, feature, or button, and it won’t work. It’s almost impossible to make any changes to the features you personally want. Even editing the light colors is a hassle because the app keeps crashing every time I try! ### 1/5 — Slider non reconnu *2026-04-22, version 3.6.3* À moins qu’une autre app ne soit disponible, j’utilisais celle-ci pour piloter mon slider, tout était parfait, depuis l’avant dernière mise à jour, slider non reconnu, impossible de l’utiliser, il est quasi neuf… ### 1/5 — Disconnects all the time! Unusable! *2026-03-20, version 3.6.1* Can’t use the light effects as it stops as soon as the lights loose connection with the app on the phone. What is going on here? Is like a beta test pre release software! Is unusable and unreliable! I wish I could have other brand at this point. I don’t understand why everyone thinks this app is any good. ### 1/5 — UPDATES are the WORST *2026-01-30, version 3.6.0* iPhone did their latest update and now the app does not connect to my slider ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2026-01-26, version 3.5.9* Says it cannot connect to my devices even after troubleshooting. There’s always issues even after updates. Bad app. ### 1/5 — Taugt null!!! *2025-12-29, version 3.5.8* Abmeldung eine Farce, findet Gerät nicht, Steinzeit App, die nur Zeit und Nerven kostet und nicht funktioniert. ### 1/5 — Scarsa *2025-12-14, version 3.5.7* Dice di aver aggiunto RGB480 e poi non lo vedo in elenco ### 1/5 — Leider immer connection Fehler *2025-12-05, version 3.5.5* An sich ist die App toll, insbesondere da es eine Mac App gibt. Leider wird wirklich jedes Mal ein Connection error angezeigt, obwohl man im Hintergrund des Fehlers sieht, dass nach und nach die 4x Leuchten angezeigt werden und der Power on / power off Button dann sichtbar wird. Wenn Das Connection Problem gelöst wird, 5 Sterne APP! :) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Light *2026-08-24, version 3.7.5* I'm just like wow 🔥 looovvveeee it with the app too...😮‍💨‼️ This was def worth my money. Thank you brewer. You just made creating easier and fun for me. ### 5/5 — Wild creative control in one app *2026-08-12, version 3.7.5* Incredible creative control in one app. App can be a little finicky with lag on the touch screen, but it paired up quickly and works as advertised. ### 5/5 — 性能質感共に最高 *2026-07-20, version 3.7.3* 部屋で動画収録、配信、撮影などするために FS230Bライト SC340AWスタンド NS90Lボックスランタンを購入しました。 どれもオーバースペックですが最高の気分になるので仕事も捗りそうです、、 ### 5/5 — Not Just a Lamp *2026-06-30* Wow. I am a beginner photographer. I had no idea my portable Key Light had so many different options after adding it to my app. I do a lot of low light photography. And as a beginner I struggle with seeing my image through the view finder until the flash discharges. That’s probably the wrong word but being able to light my scene and see it through the view finder exactly how it’s lit is a game changer. This app seems to even be able to bend light. I’m so happy and I won’t struggle with my low lights again. ### 5/5 — 🫶🏼 *2026-06-22, version 3.7.0* Me encantaaaa ### 5/5 — W *2026-03-27, version 3.6.1* W ### 5/5 — I love it! *2026-03-27, version 3.6.1* Great device, why I have not bought it sooner. Definitely recommend 👍 ### 5/5 — Great app, easy to use *2026-03-15, version 3.6.1* I’m delighted to say that the app connected directed with ease and controlled the light the way I hoped. ### 5/5 — 本体よりも操作性が良い！ *2026-03-14, version 3.6.1* スティック型LEDで本体の操作は少々分かりにくいのですが、アプリでの操作は非常に分かりやすく快適です。絶対に試してみるべきですね。 ### 5/5 — Bang for buck *2026-02-26, version 3.6.0* Best stick light for the money hands down.
