App cannot “find” bulbs to be able to control dimmer or volume from latest iOS updates. Please fix! ### 2/5 — Slow to update new versions; doesn’t support apple 15.1 o/s *2021-10-30, version 4.2.6* I got a new iPad and it won’t recognize it. I can’t even “find” the bulb with the app on the new iPad. I have used with old technology for many years. Great idea, but slow to update the release for support ### 4/5 — Needs update *2021-10-22, version 4.2.6* Takes forever to find bulbs, but when it does it works great! Please update this app to make it find the bulbs faster if possible. Bluetooth finds it no problem. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-05-21, version 4.2.6* Pretty much its just regular bulb with no extra functionality, its “still searching for the bulb” forever… ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2021-05-07, version 4.2.6* Don’t by/ scammers and very low quality ### 1/5 — Sharing data *2021-02-13, version 4.2.6* It won’t stop asking me to share data... it requests it every 60 seconds and will not stop... I’m sending these back! ### 4/5 — A Windows app would be nice *2021-02-06, version 4.2.6* To add to a computer for extra speakers would be nice. ### 1/5 — Add device *2021-01-30, version 4.2.6* The add device bottoms are almost untouchable will not recognize the Bluetooth adapter at all ### 1/5 — Would be great if it works all the time *2021-01-01, version 4.2.6* Please fix Issue with Bluetooth , no easy to pair and keeps disconnecting Issue with app , app does no recognize light , connection issue . ### 3/5 — Help!! *2020-12-19, version 4.2.6* Dish network came to install the new hopper and the sound synced with the bulb. I’ve tried everything pls help! ### 1/5 — More than one app? *2020-11-17, version 4.2.6* Why do I need multiple apps to do different things? Waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — Lights/speakers work great, the app is useless *2020-11-13, version 4.2.6* The lights arrives and installed quickly and lit up promptly. Then the issues began. I couldn’t get the app to discover the speaker to pair it. My phone and iPad had no issue finding it. I finally managed to get the app to work, briefly, but that was long enough to pair it to my Alexa. So I can stream music but there is zero light control. ### 1/5 — Won’t Connect to my phone *2020-10-26, version 4.2.6* Lights won’t connect or even be discovered by my phone. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2020-10-19, version 4.2.6* I tried everything but my Mobile does not find it on the Bluetooth. The app has no helpful information and I’m just stuck with the product that never worked ### 1/5 — Failing to find. *2020-09-19, version 4.2.6* I used to be able to find the bulbs with my iPhone or iPad with a little bit of work. Today I tried it after updating to iOS 14 for both phone and iPad and it will not connect through the app or even trying to connect with Bluetooth ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do better *2026-01-01, version 4.2.6* The app is pathetic, never works . Let’s list the gripes I have with the app. You can turn on the bulbs, you have to manually turn them on. The app never works . Nothing loads up half the time . I guess the developers went to sleep on this one ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-06-21, version 4.2.6* What waste of time spend almost the whole day trying to connect but couldn’t ### 1/5 — App cannot find bulb. Cannot connect with Bluetooth *2025-04-13, version 4.2.6* No connection. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-01-24, version 4.2.6* Horrible app directions. Even worse product. ### 1/5 — Why does the app restart default setting all the time? *2023-09-27, version 4.2.6* This app is garbage. It restarts itself to a default setting of 80% all the time. So When you come back to your stereo, you suddenly can’t hear your music so you turn up the stereo to then discover you have to go into the app and turn it to 100% then to have your speakers blasting. We just need an app that handles connectivity of speakers- there’s no need for two independent volume levels. ### 1/5 — Sad *2023-01-03, version 4.2.6* Speakers play low and app doesn’t connect ### 1/5 — Lamps work but sound is tinny *2022-10-22, version 4.2.6* Lights work. Unable to link 2 together. Guessing that’s what the solo means. For a JBL speaker is sounds very tinny. With an irritating, high-pitched quality. I have lowered the treble and tried to raise the bass to offset this sound but there is no onboard EQ. You have to change the way your music quality is sent from your music app to the solo speaker. This may make it sound different to the headphones or other wireless music devices. It’s more of a gimmick than something to use on a regular. I realize this is more of a review on the Pulse Solo speaker but this app should have an EQ that can adjust the quality of the sound that the speaker output on a regular basis. I do understand that most other Bluetooth speakers do not have this functionality. They also don’t have an app to control the volume or the light like this one does. ### 1/5 — Why are you not supporting this product anymore???!!! *2022-08-14, version 4.2.6* People have spent good money for these bulbs!!!! Seriously guys, sort this out, these bulbs were very expensive and are only a few years old! ### 1/5 — Third replacement bulb and not working *2022-07-11, version 4.2.6* I have had a few replacements and most of them fail shortly after with cracking sound and the most recent had very extremely low volume out of the box. I am not hard of hearing nor so I listen to loud music, i don’t think this line of products is here to stay from my unfortunate personal experience. ### 1/5 — Unsuccessful,and worthless as a three legged chair *2021-07-15, version 4.2.6* If this app had a grade, it will get a d(development needed)!Reason:it loads so long and so slow, it tries to help but nothing is helped, it even took a long time to load on settings to. This app developer needs to do and update.If you won’t listen, fine suffer the consequences and waste of money.🤑🤑🤑 will later be you asking for money 👥🗣💰💰💰💴💵💵💵💰💰👎.I need a developer response about this in a couple of days. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Speakers que jadore *2025-09-30, version 4.2.6* Jadore jnai 2 Masters et satellite Stereo ses sa coche dehors gallérie 😇😍🥰 ### 5/5 — Just installed today.. great so far *2021-07-06, version 4.2.6* It’s so easy…even my husband could do it. Haha Look for it under Bluetooth and connect. If you want more features, download this app. I will update you later after more use ### 5/5 — Connect master bulb first *2020-09-25, version 4.2.6* Bulb has label on the side Make sure you connect the master first, try connecting through Bluetooth settings Once first bulb is paired just connect another one, it will automatically connect I bought it for 10 bucks not bad ### 5/5 — Not a terrible product *2020-08-02, version 4.2.6* It has a decent sound. Connected easily to my phone and my Echo Dot. (Not at the same time, of course) ### 5/5 — Please provide a custom equalizer function! *2020-04-03, version 4.1.1* Love these speakers but would LOVE a custom equalizer function. ### 5/5 — Great *2019-06-29, version 4.1.1* I love it. It does what it’s supposed to do. Why others are not happy? ### 5/5 — First time user *2018-07-25, version 4.1.1* I just started using the single bulb. It took me about 10 seconds to install and connect. The app synced well. I was able to dim the bulb for day time use. If things continue as they are now I am going to order more for other rooms in my house. The sound is superb quality. However, it’s a light bulb! Not a sound system. I love it!!! ### 5/5 — Great app and light! *2018-02-14* I bought the solo bulb speaker and I gotta say, I love it! I love the app control, the only thing that could make it better is if there was an option for the bulb to turn on with a timer or alarm. I think it'd be cool to have this turn on with an alarm. But so far I love it! ### 5/5 — Speaker and light work fine now! *2018-01-19* At first it didn’t work when I bought it but after just turning off the bulb and force closing the app it eventually work and it’s been good for a couple hours now so yea I love the bulb! ### 5/5 — Great product *2017-10-18, version 4.0.5* Took 30 seconds to install, pair and install app. At first thought you had to have light permanently switched on (glad I didn’t buy a dimmer switch), but the app allows you to control brightness. So in daylight you can have light off but still have the speaker on. A great product and space saver... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
