### 5/5 — 增加一个纽约尼克橙蓝配色

*2026-06-05, version 2.5.6*

使用了很多年，今年能增加一个纽约尼克配色吗？

### 1/5 — Still supported

*2025-11-15, version 2.5.6*

Is this app still supported in 2025? I hung my lights today and the app no longer seems to be working. Can’t connect to my wifi. What to do?

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-11-02, version 2.5.6*

I’ve had these lights for years and suddenly this year, the app no longer controls the lights. It seems to make them change but I can’t set up anything specific. It just seems to randomly change of I choose a setting or color. Doesn’t do what I have entered.

### 1/5 — They don’t sell these lights anymore

*2024-12-20, version 2.5.6*

Love the lights, app works fine but I can’t for the life of me find anywhere where they still sell the ShowHome lights which means I can’t expand my setup 👎👎👎

### 2/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-11-24, version 2.5.6*

App stopped working can not get the lights to turn on.

### 1/5 — All stopped working

*2023-12-12, version 2.5.6*

App no longer functional with lights

### 5/5 — Great Product. Talk of the neighborhood.

*2022-11-30, version 2.5.6*

Plug the lights into a timer and the work great. I can change holiday settings with my phone. I’ve had mine for 3 years and they still work great. I like that they have multiple settings for patterns as well.

### 2/5 — Time function needed

*2021-12-16, version 2.5.6*

The app works ok except that it has no ability to set a time for the lights to come on. It appears that the app is designed for you to turn on at the same time daily, at whatever time you turn it on but I have found  the lights on hours earlier. 
The Show 1 etc. used to be able to set a mode and time but appear to have lost functionality.

### 1/5 — Extremely frustrated

*2021-12-05, version 2.5.6*

I am extremely frustrated with these lights. Like other reviewers, I feel the idea was great and if it worked properly I would be thrilled. However, you can only set the amount of time you want the lights to go on, not the time you want them to go on and off. But the most frustrating thing, is that I have icicles and C9 lights that have to be controlled as one. Why? They are two different types of lights. It totally ruins the affect.  Fix it! We spent a lot of money on these lights for them to be useless.

### 1/5 — Older lights not supported

*2021-12-01, version 2.5.6*

My 2019 lights are no linger supported on the app. I updated it and now it no longer works.
