Bad connectivity and user experience
I hope they get connected to the Apple Home kit because this makes controlling the lights a very unintuitive process that only works about half the time.
Put controls first
I like how you can control so many things from the app but it would make a lot more sense to make that the first thing I see when I open it instead of having to go in to “adjust settings” to turn it on and adjust brightness. I really hope you change this.
Doesn’t actually turn lights on and off half the time
When I tap the “on” button, it’s pretty much a 50/50 shot if it actually works to turn the lights on or change the duration of time they’re on. I always check to see if the app is up to date and it is.
So glitchy, barely useful to turn lights on and off
This app is mostly useless. Half the time we can’t connect to the lights. The other half of the time, the lights are turning themselves off even with battery. For the price of these lights, this is really not worth it.
Buggy app
The app works, but needs to be debugged and improved. It doesn’t remember settings, and it takes multiple tries before it will turn the lights on and off
Tried all day to get them to connect
A whole day trying to troubleshoot to get these lights to connect to the app. Time to send them back!!!
Meh
Love the light but must be within 3 feet to use the app. The timer doesn’t work at all.
Bummed
What a bummer! I really wanted to love these lights, and be able to recommend the product of a queer and women led company to others. I bought them about 6 months ago and have given them a solid chance but they’re just not hitting the mark (especially for the price). They don’t get very bright and the battery dies quickly. The app hardly ever connects to both lights right away. It’s a bit of a pain everyday to open the app, navigate to the “adjust settings”, cross my fingers and hope that it connects to both of my lights instead of one. Sadly, it just never does. :(

App a bit janky
I second some other opinions that it's one more step than necessary to control the lights. When you buy wireless lights for the convenience of controlling them remotely that's a big deal. Additionally I find it overall to be a bit clunky, slow etc. It doesn't always find the lights (may have more to do with the actual light and Bluetooth but still), and when grouping them often does not control them together which defeats the purpose.

Needs help
Should not be that many steps to turn the lights on and off
Easy to fix
This app would be so easy to fix. Please just fix it.
Boo
This app works but it is not intuitive and takes longer than necessary(too many steps) to turn lights on and off
Unreliable
It has a lot of trouble finding both of my poplights. I unsynced one of them and now can’t re-sync it. Really frustrating, defeats the purpose.
If you haven’t bought a poplight yet, don’t
app has terrible ui: you have to rename lights constantly, there are only preset timers (shortest amount is 15 minutes), for me one of the lighting settings completely doesnt work and support offered no solutions. a year+ into having a poplight and it turns off after a minute because the battery sucks. would be better to find a nice vintage hanging lamp/invest in something long lasting and learn the skills to install a light. much more useful and more cost effective than this

It works, but is not well thought out
The app does what it was meant to do, but it makes turning on and off the lights an extra step too long. In other lighting/ control apps you could just tap on the picture if the light to turn it on and off. But here you have to go into the individual light settings to turn it on and off.
This app is for convenience and for some reason they want to make it as inconvenient for you as possible.
I love the lights and the app has potential, but you guys (gals) need to fix this.

Please IMPROVE!
This is the most disappointing app I could’ve imagined.
I planned to put these lights out of easy reach and now I don’t know what to do…
The on/off controls aren’t on the first screen, so you have extra clicks just to use.
The app doesn’t just open, but has a logo load window so that’s slow too.
It doesn’t have any way to automate the lights.
It’s not intuitive AT ALL.
It even doesn’t tell me the individual light IDs if I wanted to try to vibe code myself a solution.
I bought these after seeing the FAQ that they are working on making them HomeKit compatible… right now I’m not optimistic about that.
I really REALLY hope they are building a new app for these.

such a headache
I thought these lights would be more convenient but the bluetooth feature disconnects constantly and the battery power is very weak. Disappointing!
Cute, but not really functional
All the things other reviews say about the laughably poor app, plus the fussy touch control on the lamp, are correct. Sconce looks charming, but it’s such a pain to turn on and off that I find myself just navigating the hallway where it lives in the dark. And given how short battery life is, assuming the next app refresh encourages me actually to use the light more, I hope I get better at popping the battery out; for now, that’s also been trickier than expected. (I may be being too gentle, but the stickers didn’t hold initially and I’m worried lamp will fall down again.) So … assuming the developers snap into
gear and make a functional app, ideally with a widget, or just send out a remote, I can get used to the rest. Otherwise, will likely demote to use in a closet or send it back.

App is not intuitive
App is not intuitive. As someone in UX I wouldn’t be surprised if an intern designed this, not intuitive at all and even the app flow don’t make sense, love my poplight so far but app needs some tlc.
Horrible App
This app is horrendous and completely illogical. The user flow makes absolutely no sense. I had ordered multiple poplights in different colors and they all showed up in the app as the same color - would be a useful feature for them to show up the color they actually are. Second, you have to select "adjust settings" to actually turn your light on and off. Clicking on the actual photo of the light from the home screen does nothing. No connectivity issues so far but it's a nightmare to use.
