Needs an update.
Spheres have trouble connecting. Especially when trying to control a group.
Useless App - Stopped Connecting To aobulbs
This app used to work flawlessly but now it doesn’t work and I can’t control my Obulbs.
Very disappointing.
Very disappointing.
It’s basically a 1 time use app
I love olight products but this app is the most unreliable app I’ve ever used.. it works great one time… and then it will not reconnect to the device again until you delete the app and reinstall it again
Don’t bother
Frequently fails to connect to bulbs. I echo the complaint about lack of solid color choices. Automations often fail to work.
Why do I need an account
Why do I need an account and an app that tracks my PPI, just so I can control a light I paid $80 for? Respect your customers.
Agree with Cheesy_Crouton - stopped working
I’ve upgraded from an iPhone 11 ProMax (which the app worked fine on) to a 15 ProMax and now I can’t get my 2 No. Obulb Pro S lights to connect. I won’t be buying any more OLight products if they abandon products as quickly as this. Not happy.
Worst app ever.
Worst app ever, never works right. Buy a different product with a different interface, a better interface.
Doesn’t connect to obulb plus
App used to work, but bizarrely, it stopped connecting to my obulb plus. I’ve tried to delete the device and reconnect and whilst it recognises that there is an obulb plus in pairing mode, I get an error message saying ‘failed to add the device’. For a little light where the key benefit is being able to use it through the app, this is laughable - do better!

Don’t listen to other people
This is a much better version of the previous app. Love it as well as my 3 Obulb Pro S!
Could be better
Every time I go out of the app for a period of time and come back in, it can’t connect to my light. I have to force close the app every time and re open it, which is a nuisance.
Love it
This app works great! It is much better than the first app they put out.
For all you “avid” outdoorsmen… maybe you should learn how to use technology before you write a bad review. The app works great if you know what you are doing. I love the outdoors just as much as anyone which means I don’t need my phone with me all the time!!!! You can control the light with… THE LIGHT, too. Using your phone isn’t the only option.
And… READ before you write. You can select different colors using the app. There are a lot of party modes that can be used but just click the color wheel and select whatever color you want.
I wrote this review to combat these bad reviews. Olights work great and so does the Olight Hub.
I do wish you didn’t need to have an internet connection to use the app, but that doesn’t warrant a one star review.

Shouldn’t have to log in
For a simple app to control a light, you shouldn’t have to log in to an obulb account. I really don’t want to be tracked.
Super easy to set up and use
I have Olight obulb plus very fast and very easy set up. Many great options for these bulbs and app. We have ours set up hidden and use as back lighting with easy on off from the phone.
Don’t work
Bulb stopped working after 2 weeks and olight support never helped.
great but not good when off grid
Works great with a internet connection but when off grid you can’t manage multiple Bulbs as the automation requires a internet connection (i.e. managing multiple oBulb pro S) which is a bit silly for a simple light bulb, must be costing oLight a bit in cloud consumption costs too - Please fix :)
Broken App
Last update totally broke the already deficient app. Please fix it.
No longer works
After last update, app not working.
New update is broken!
The app worked great until the latest update. I can no longer connect to any of my obulbs. I might try and unpair them from my app and start over.
Your light does not need the internet.
A light should not need; an account, your location, and an internet connection to work!!! This light is pitched as something that can work outdoors, away from civilization where you go to get away things like an always on internet connection. And location services? This is only here to profile their customers (probably for targeted advertising) and has no place in a product of this nature. There are some benefits to the app. I love the idea of giving devices more functionality without having to use weird button combos that you will never remember. Also, controlling a group of lights with a local mesh network is also a very cool idea. Unfortunately it does not offset the drawbacks.

Presets
It be more useful if I could have presets in app or better yet change button operations.
