BIOS Lighting, *please* work on this app
Those of us who spent the money to buy these lights at full price (I have three) *need* this app for them to function. The lights are fantastic, but the app and its scheduling function perform inconsistently if at all. Your customers feel abandoned.
App is horrendous
Lamp didn’t work out of box, took 2 hours of tinkering before it randomly turned on, so I’m scared to unplug it to move it. App is horrible - sometimes the lamp will be available to connect and sometimes not. Horrible feedback and troubleshooting. Disappointing in the extreme.
Has trouble getting the right time
This thing always has issues before/after daylight savings and I have to completely reset it. The developers need to stop trying to get cute and go back to the basics of syncing the time to what the time is on the user’s phone. I even selected my time zone in their settings and it still screws up. Please fix and I’ll give more stars.

Update Problems
The latest update has seemed to cause all types of issues with timing, sunrise schedule, and controlling by wake up time. Have tried multiple fixes and it no longer goes from red light to a slow twilight wake up, it just stays dark then blasts on at 100% strength. Very unsettling.
Horrible. DOES NOT WORK!
The app is poorly made, It’s extremely clunky. Light scheduling simply does not work. Light either doesn’t turn on at all or occasionally just randomly turns on in middle of night. One of the worst apps/software I’ve ever used. If you are just getting this lamp, RETURN IMMEDIATELY!!
Glitchy
Light looks nice and is cool when it works, but sometimes it won’t turn on at sunrise automatically for weeks, then randomly starts working again for two days, and then back to not working. It’s completely unacceptable and completely breaks any functionality of this being a “sunrise lamp”. Also you can’t set the time when it switches from daylight (blue) for sunset (orangey white). For instance if you set your bedtime to 12:30 AM, you get bright blue light till 9:30 pm. Horrible. So you have to manually set the evening mode every day, and also sunrise most days when it doesn’t turn on automatically.

Horrible
The app is poorly made, seemingly a fork of some home automation open source project. It’s extremely clunky. Light scheduling simply does not work. Light either doesn’t turn on at all or occasionally just randomly turns on in middle of night. One of the worst apps/software I’ve ever used. Please please rewrite from the ground up 🙏

Horrible Update
I loved using this device and it was so intuitive. After the new update I’m locked out of my device despite following the steps to reprogram it. I’ve even emailed their customer service multiple times and no one has responded to me, rendering the device completely useless.
Awesome - a big help
The new app update is a game-changer! It’s so much more intuitive than the previous version, making it super easy to adjust the settings based on my schedule.
I never realized how much lighting could impact my day until I got the my skyview lamp! As a young professional my sleep schedule was all over the place but this lamp helped me get this under control. The circadian rhythm lighting (which I knew very little about before getting this lamp) helps me wake up feeling more refreshed and stay focused throughout the day. I seem to have more energy - based a better sleeping pattern. This definitely helps me with my 2025 goals of getting healthier and be on top of things.

App works horribly
Nice looking desk lamp. The colors on this are really nice…when it works. The app doesn’t respond well to the lamp itself. I’d avoid this product until they figure out how to make a decent app.
Looks nice but doesn’t connect
Couldn’t get the app to connect - but it looks well designed. Will contact support.
Horrible app
App never works so you can’t use the light! Very frustrating to have an expensive
Light and not be able to use it due to awful app.

App is too glitchy (I really wanted to like it)
I was really excited for this product, and it’s beautiful, so I bought it anyway despite the reviews about the app. Now that I’ve tried it for two weeks, I can confidently say the app glitches way too much to modify really any settings once set. The auto-off feature also doesn’t work. My most frequent error message is to “try again later”: a catch-all for any edits I try to make. Unfortunately, I do think the bugs are just too much to make the product consistently usable. I’ll probably need to return it.

Cool Product, but the App Makes it Unusable
The app is probably one of the worst that I have ever used. The scheduling functionality is virtually non existent, and completely breaks if you set your bed time to anything after 11:59PM.
On top of that, there is no way to manually set the schedule for the light, you can only edit the “auto-on” and “auto-off” times, as well as the sunrise and sunset times. You can’t change the time that it goes from evening (a warm, semi dim light) to night (a very dim red light). If you are going to make an app to control a product that has a schedule with 7 different properties, auto on, sunrise, daytime, sunset, evening, night, and auto off, the user needs to be able to configure the schedule for all 7 of those things, not just 4 out of the 7.
Also, there is no way to control the lamp on the fly, you’re pretty much stuck with whatever the schedule gives you.
Last thing, I set up two of the lamps with the detailed schedule, and it came back with two different schedules for each lamp. This app is seriously embarrassing.
I’ll probably end up returning the product, as there is simply no way to make it work with my schedule, going to bed at 1AM, and waking up at 9AM.

There is so many glitches in the app
So hard to handle
Bad app for great light
The app isn’t well designed. It feels like an android app and like someone else made it. The app doesn’t let you adjust brightness, only on/off. When scheduling you have limited control. I’d like to set it to warm light before sunrise starts because that’s how the sun naturally used to come into my room, but the app doesn’t support that.
It does not support any Shortcuts actions or Siri/HomeKit. I really wish it did so I could turn it on/off automatically when I leave/arrive and use Shortcuts to set an override mood.
You can do the basics with this app but it’s a very poor experience and quite ugly which is disappointing for such an expensive and nice product.

Feeling a boost!
LOVE this product! Since I’ve had my Skyview I’ve noticed a difference in mood, my focus and have been sleeping better! At first I thought, could it be a coincidence but each time I come back to my home desk I feel more balanced almost immediately, amazing app and product!
Love waking up to a sunrise
My wife and I love waking up to a beautiful sunrise each morning…And my wife appreciates that it can let us sleep in on weekends.
