BASIC and underdeveloped
This app has not changed in years, could be so much better…
Works well but could do more
The app does what it says, it connects to your see.sense lights and lets you control them.
I do not use the tracking features because I don’t want to give the app always on location access - surely this could be limited to only while using the app?
But what would make this a useful app is integration into iOS shortcuts and Siri.

Doesn’t record rides
I have been using as part of a community project to record rides but it only seems to record about a quarter of them. I cycle almost every day to work but this week it has only recorded 0.1mile!
Also, unless you have it on eco mode the battery runs out in the middle of a 3 mile ride.

Great but could offer more
The lights are great and the app works without any issues. But it lacks a few function in terms of light control. Having to fish my phone out of my pocket, unlock and open the app to individually turn on front and rear lights is actually slower than just turning on the lights manually. It would be a great improvement to allow to bundle lights within the app and operate them together. Even better would be to add an Apple Watch app. Killer would be to voice activate the lights. “Siri, turn on/off my bike lights” and that’s it.
Allow users to create their own scripts using the iOS automator. Operate individual or groups of lights, set tracking, theft alarm etc via Siri commands would make this app an absolute gem.

Does not work with icon plus
New app version does not let me use the older icon plus lights. Can’t turn on remotely or even manually if I connect to them. Emails to company unanswered. Older app, worked great
See sense
I have to agree with the other review, this is doing the same thing! Junk
The update bricks it - real junk!
Opens up the product, downloaded the app.
The app said it needs a firmware update. The app would not let me go past needing an update, so I tapped update. That froze on 0%, and the light does not function at all, except to attach to Bluetooth and have the little green lights come on indicating it's ready. I've uninstalled the app as suggested in the faq's and removed the light from the app as many times. It's a waste!
This is like I bought a $10 product from china and expected it to work, EXCEPT it was $100 product.

Good
I like the app, but any chance we could have an Apple Watch version? Please!
Easy to use.
Easy to use App, syncs seamlessly with my ‘ace’ rear light. The thing I would add is when my light is on but the app is closed I think it should still track my position as I have set it up for ‘location always’. Apart from having to leave the app open to track my ride it is great. Being able to switch your light on and off without pressing the button hopefully keeps things more waterproof.

Very Good bright bike light
Beam +
Very bright and powerful bike light. Other road users can see me from a distance. Just point it to the ground slightly so as not to blind other road users. Takes a while to fully charge it to 100 %. But holds it charge if using adaptive flash mode for upto 30 hours. Comes with a head mount for your helmet and a bar mount. Very easy and useful to switch between them everyday or have several bikes.
Use the lights in the forest on our night rides. Lights quite a bit in front and on the sides.
Very good build quality.
Happy cycling.

Brilliant!
Works brilliantly on my iPhone. Love being able to monitor battery levels as I ride along and getting messages when level drop around 20%. The crash alert gives great piece of mind.
Love all the products from See Sense

Great lights; “ok” app
I own 2 rear SeeSense lights (Icon 2 & Ace) & the Beam front light. I highly recommend all of them. Reliable, easy to use, good battery life and adjustable brightness.
I’ve had to return the rear lights a couple of times as they had water damage after several wet rides and since they were still under warranty - had them replaced both times.
The app is ok - only useful to change brightness settings (this setting doesn’t reset unless light software has been updated) and I rarely turn it on unless I need a good reading of remaining battery life.
Would love to see the Beam light/speed sensing function abit more reliable- I find this function not sensitive enough therefore more often draining the battery life too quickly.

iPhone 6 No Longer Supported
Updated the app with iPhone 6 iOS 12.5.5 and it will no longer launch. Assume this is either a bug or IOS 12.5.5 no longer supported?
Siri Shortcuts or Watch app
I agree with a previous review which rightly says there are too many clicks to simply turn on/off all your lights.
When my hands are cold I would like to press a big button on my Apple Watch to toggle all my lights.
I have owned Ace and Icon light for a few years and would have thought a watch app would be developed by now.
Maybe you don’t have to go that far if you implied Siri Shortcuts. I could talk to my watch to turn on/off the lights which would be ideal!

Do Not Update App
The latest update breaks most of the functionality on the app unless you share location all the time.
I liked having the flexibility to change when I shared insights. Changing the app to only work when always sharing location is not privacy-conscious and a step back for the user.
I am disappointed by this update-please roll back the requirement or you're losing me as a user.

Waste of money!
Icon front light waste of money due to being let down by this app nothing on this app works for the light completely utter crap!
Don’t even deserve 1 star!!

Not good. App developer needs to use their own app
For me the app connects to my lights and it works. However it is not good to use. I basically want to open the app and quickly be able to see and control my lights and perhaps see battery level. There are too many clicks required to switch both front and back lights on needlessly. I can’t believe that any developer that uses the lights with the app wouldn’t see this. It’s a shame as it’s generally easier just to use the lights without the app and so from my perspective it’s useless.

Nothing unique blue tooth connectivity issues
• Bluetooth drops in and out, phone looses connectivty with light • drains battery of phone • nothing unique about this app - there are other products out there that offer the same or similar • app cannot connect to cycle computer - phone only application As far as I am concerned there is nothing unique about this app or even the light. There is no incentive to use. Its very limiting in what stats it collects of an individual ride - there is no heart rate, cadence or if you are a serious rider - power meters. Also the safety features - my cycle computer has these same features - so why would I ditch that for this to use on my phone. If you have a product that is to promote safety then have something unique not same same. The blue tooth drops in and out - yes that could be my issue more than this but still if thats happening then why should I use this. All in all in theory this app is great but from practical sense there is nothing I can use.

Every time I see “firmware update”...
... I know my lights are about to be bricked and I’ll spend far too long trying to get them to successfully update.
