Bulb is great, app isn’t

I’ve had this bulb for years and had it in a box lace where I rarely changed the color. However, recently I’ve put it in my bedroom where the default color and brightness is to harsh. Other smart bulbs and apps can be programmed to stay on a particular setting all the time. This bulb and app always default to the factory setting, what’s worse and totally frustrating is that to change the color and setting of the bulb, I have to uninstall and reinstall the app, EVERY TIME I want to use it. Im moving in two week, otherwise this thing would be in the trash.

I don’t see much wrong!

There are only little good reviews about this. The bulb was just so beautiful! The app is pretty easy to figure out and use! The only 2 problem I have with this app Is I can’t seem to figure out how to make a favorite color. It just comes up white and when I click on a color it will appear on my light bulb but not my “favorite color”. The second thing isn’t that big, but it has a delay on the “dimming” which isn’t really a problem but it can get annoying.

But this app deserves a 4/5!

Overall I’d give this a 8.3/10. If your looking for a aesthetic room look then go for this! I would recommend led lights better, but this is a great product if you can’t find led lights!

App Fixes

Okay when I first bought this bulb a couple months ago the app was TERRIBLE and I mean completely GARBAGE. However they have done a lot of updates since then and now it connects perfectly fine, changes colors and all of that smoothly through the app where as before it was annoying just getting it to sync.

Please add strobe light options!

I love the lightbulb but the app is extremely frustrating to use. I constantly have to unplug my lightbulb for it to connect or when I try to download the app on two devices, it only works on the second device. I would also suggest adding strobe light options since it would make the lightbulb much nicer! Even like another app that’s a pro version with strobe lights would be really awesome! 😄

We need an update

Every time I need to change the color. the app doesn’t work. We need a update and more features. This app company has great potential but they need to keep up with the app’s needs like making sure it doesn’t lose connection randomly, better music and lighting patterns and higher/ brighter quality light bulbs

For me its a 3/5

The reson I rate the app a 3 is because when I open the app it always says that it is offline. The bulb it fine I love it but the app always crashes. However you have to me in the room so it changes or you have to leave your moble device in their or else it wont stay connected. After all the bulb is ok but the app isnt the best.

Upgraded to a better bulb

I used this app for a good while with the bulb included and although I was fond of it at first. Soon it got real tiring when the lightbulb would not connect to the app and I would have to turn the light off and on again before it could reconnect. But it only got worse, at one point even if I turned the light off and on it would not detect the bulb and I would have to delete it off the app and search for it EVERY SINGLE TIME I tried to use this bulb. God I wish this app was better, then maybe the bulb I bought wouldn’t be in the trash right now.

Timer not fixed

I like everything about this except TIMER is not fixed it doesn’t work I hate this cause that’s the whole reason I bought this so it would turn off on its own while going to bed huge disappointment especially when u said you fixed it 3 months ago plzzz fix this issue cause I totally would have given 5 stars

Great bulb terrible app

One night I was going to turn my bulbs brightness down because I was trying to sleep and it would let me 3 seconds into the app and then instantly kick me out, I couldn’t even report a bug because of how fast it kicked me out.

Wouldn’t really recommend

The actual bulb/ light is really great and the selection of colors is really good as well. The main issue is the app. It always disconnects from the bulb and makes you turn the light off and on again for it to reconnect. It does this every single time which gets tiring.

Good stuff

I got this and I was super excited but when I saw all of the reviews I got scared we tried it on google play and it didn’t work and I was worried that I wasted my money but then I tried it on apple and it work FANTASTIC!

Don’t buy any more

The bulb itself is awesome. The app just doesn’t work. Lately it just keeps crashing. There aren’t that many options for effects. Besides changing color it has this music setting that doesn’t allow you to play music from the phone simultaneously which just makes it seem redundant. Even for $10 it’s very underwhelming. Terrific concept- just needs to work

Light is fine, app is terrible.

UI nightmare aside, this app simply doesn’t work. Once you navigate away from the app, when you navigate back in order to change the color or turn off the light, the light will say it’s disconnected. This requires you to get up and turn the light off then back on then redo the setup process for the bulb again before being able to connect and change the color. Super annoying and defeats the purpose of the product.

Great concept, horrible delivery

The light is decent if you’re using it for a lap and changing color. I tried to use it in my ceiling fan and even when the light switch was off it would flash. Also, the music part is definitely not well thought out. You can’t go to any other apps and it will only work if you have music playing around you- it will not work with music playing on your phone. Which is what the packaging leads your to believe. Its a great idea, but this company failed at delivery.

Bluetooth not connecting

The bulb is working fine and the colors change to show that you can connect but every time I tap add device on the app it says searching and than I get a black bar so I’m confused on why it’s not showing up or what I need to do to connect to it 🤷🏽‍♀️

Easy simple to use

I screwed in my light bulb and downloaded the app and within minutes i was changing the colors of my smart bulb. Really awesome that it connected so fast, smooth and easy. Easy and simple to use in a he best way.!!!

nice bulb. But the app needs a little fixing.

So the color wheel, I think it would be better if you could slide your finger across the wheel to change the color because then you could find the perfect color. I think the timer could last longer, also I used the timer and it said the bulb was offline and crashed the app upon opening it. Please fix that. Also if you could add a day night future, so that when it’s day it turns on (it syncs with your alarm app) and when night it turns off, I honestly think that would be very cool! Thanks for reading.

Are you really going to keep taking money

Are you really going to keep taking money from people during a pandemic. $10 bucks may not seem like much but it is when your selling thousands of these bulbs that don’t function. It’s Christmas and a huge let down and a pain cause now I have to go return something. It’s wasting my time and money. I’m aggravated that you guys are not being accountable for your product. Is this ethical and fair to the consumer. I’m going to reach out to my BROTHER who’s a new anchor for fox 26. He’s affiliated with a few people who’s passion is confronting issues like this. Buyers Beware. This is straight up a non functional product from the initial app instillation. If there’s spelling error and typos, my apologies. Too annoyed to go back and review again how ticked I am. I’m going to give the app another week to see if someone is interested in solving this 100% of the time issue.

Please fix the app. That’s all we want b/c it could be a really cool product.

Thank you

Update

I like it sometimes you have to turn off then on your light to work. I would love to see a new update that has a party disco where you it just changes colors even if you left the app or listening to music. But other then that it’s fine.

Just okay

We use this light in our nursery, it works well as long as you set it and forget it. If we set a color and leave it alone it will keep that color all night. Our issues come when we try to adjust the light because once you lock your phone the app disconnects and wants us to turn the bulb on/off.

Like I said before if you set it and forget it it works well but the app needs serious work.
