Works, but power hungry of late

App works well but after latest updates seems to consume a lot of battery if left running, even in the background. Not sure exactly what it's doing.

This app sucks

Won’t connect to my lights.

Horrendous cashing issue

The app is unusable as a momentary switch to another app (iOS 26, iPhone 17 pro max) causes disconnect with the fixture and re-connection takes forever. It seems like the app simply fails to cash enough memory in ram and reloads all the time you leave it for a second. Very frustrating and impossible to use.

Illumination handbook

I love comparing product output in this app but the accessories are so inconsistent and missing. Specifically for COB lights across Aputure and Amaran, it’s difficult to get consistent comparisons because various lights in the app are missing reflectors, fresnels, and soft boxes. Every COB light in the app should at minimum include output info when using included hyper reflector and a standard light dome softbox.

Lost All Settings

I don’t know what happened or they updated the app but I lost all access and settings to all my lights. Super annoying to be adding everything again.
