### 5/5 — Super

*2024-07-23*

Die App eignet sich sehr gut um das Licht zu kontrollieren und einzustellen so wie man es braucht und haben will. Die App hat viele verschiedene Funktionen die alle weitgehend ohne Bugs funktionieren. Sie bieten vielfältige Möglichkeiten sein Licht zu verändern. Ich finde die App und die Lampe dazu seit mehreren Jahren und bin immer noch überrascht wie viel man einstellen kann. Außerdem finde ich es gut, dass die App regelmäßig Updates bekommt.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-06-02*

Waiting for device forever during setup. Terrible app with a terrible light. Avoid.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-04-06, version 7.1.1*

These lights are so easy to set up, way better than some WiFi ones we had. They fit a standard light fitting so there’s no rewiring required and not a massive cost involved.
Simple to control with the app.

### 2/5 — Dauerhaft Rot

*2023-12-13*

Seit Monaten funktioniert die Bluetooth Connection der Lampe zur App nicht. Die App findet keine Lampe, obwohl ich im Raum stehe und schon mehrfach versucht habe zu Connecten. Ich habe versucht, sowohl per Video Erklärung die Lampe zu zurückzusetzen als auch nach Gefühl. Ich habe mein Account gelöscht und erneut angelegt. Ich habe die App gelöscht und erneut heruntergeladen. Ich habe alles mögliche versucht um die Lampe wieder nutzen zu können. Leider habe ich mich auf die Steuerung per Handy verlassen und habe somit keine Möglichkeit mehr, die Lampe zu nutzen und leider ist sie auch noch in meinem Schlafzimmer befestigt. Also habe ich jetzt seit Monaten nur rotes Licht im Schlafzimmer und keine Möglichkeit mehr ein normales Licht zu nutzen. Ich bin enttäuscht und warte auf Rückmeldung.
