Can’t get it to work

I’ve connected Bluetooth on my device. It shows connected. But with I open the app it keeps saying “hint: connect Bluetooth.” No available support

Tbh...

Tbh I have no idea what I’m doing, and it’s very slow. So it won’t even let me change the color. I say don’t get the product

Eh

It works for a lil while but now my light can only be white or green

The only thing I need!

Does everything you need!!!!😁😁👍🏻

Okayish?

Can’t get it to play music. The bulb worked fine. Must be in same room to get Bluetooth to connect.

Fail.

On the rare occasion that the app works, it works well enough. Otherwise all you have is a very expensive white LED bulb.

Love this bulb!

I got one of these light bulbs about a year or so ago, and lemme tell you it’s great! I use it all the time and it still works flawlessly. I love the changing colors features and the option to turn the light off while it still being able to be active like play music and stuff. It’s very useful for me, making videos in different colors, which will stay even after I disconnect. Love this light. My only request at least would be to modernize the app a bit. It works just fine but modernizing it’s style would be nice. :)

Works on Android

Found one of these bulbs at the Gfs house. The iOS version is a dud. Only music will play but you don't need the app for that. The Android apps work perfectly though. My iPhone 7 got no where while my Insignia tablet worked flawlessly with the app.

!!!!!DOES NOT WORK!!!!!

Picked up 3 of these. Have had them for months now and I have never been able to get one to work for more than a few minutes - and then only after untold attempts trying to connect. Very frustrating and apparently NO effort by the developer to fix. In fact, I'm not sure there is any intent to correct this or that the developer cares as it seems there was not much effort given to make/translate this app to the English speaking market - the language on the connect screen is barely discernible as English. "Buyer beware" should be on the packing for the bulb- but since the bulb packaging is done so much better, then, like me, most won't know until it is too late. I now have 3 useless (expensive) bulbs; yes "useless" because the bulbs themselves will beep loudly periodically as if they are awaiting Bluetooth pairing!!!

Drops WiFi Signal

Everything works great. Light changes to any color, and it plays music through the bulb which is really cool. It also will change color and flashbacks a strobe light if you have it on auto with music on.

But when I'm just sitting without music and I have the light on I here a loud click a couple of times a minute. If it lost signal once or twice a night I could understand but this is ridiculous when I'm trying to watch TV or read.
I'm putting it my kids room as he will enjoy it. The clicking is just so annoying.

Doesn't work

Fix it for iPhone 7 I was hyped for this I got it as a Christmas present and Bluetooth doesn't wo k please fix

Doesn't work >,<

I tried for 3 hours to get the connection to work all I says is not connected I need an update that makes this product work !!!!

FRUSTRATING & UNRELIABLE

NOT a user friendly app. I have 3 bulbs. Using my own Bluetooth settings, I can usually easily connect for music. HOWEVER, changing the lamp color?! Forget it. More than half the time this app can't find at least one of my bulbs (even after I disconnect it from my Bluetooth settings), and I *always* see WAY more options to connect to items titled in Chinese than I do my own bulbs. (With great regret, I don't understand Chinese yet.)

I renamed my third bulb, and I can honestly say I've NEVER seen it listed as such. I didn't use special characters or anything fancy, but I've since learned that the blank titled option is the 3rd bulb, though I RARELY see it. Doesn't matter if I'm 5 feet from it or 5 inches. It's rarely available.

I'm not one to ever write reviews, especially even bad ones, but I'm hoping these glitches get fixed. I love the bulbs themselves, **when they work as expected through the app**.
My iOS is always up to date, I try to make everything as simple as possible, and I'm a very clever problem solver. This app just simply isn't user friendly at this time. (Nov 2016)

Glad this was on sale at Kroger...

What an absolute piece of garbage. It connected maybe twice for a few minutes out of my 50 attempts. It also randomly turned on in the middle of the night playing this ridiculous noise. #fail

Blue tooth won't connect.

Worked great (once the blue tooth connected) for the first couple weeks. Now the blue tooth connects, but the app won't connect. Expensive regular light bulb. 😤

Overall a good product for the price

Speaker is decent, nothing fabulous. Fully functional. The app is good for turning the bulb on and off, or changing the color. If you want to use the speaker - manage the Bluetooth connection in your phone settings and then use your music player/Pandora/podcasts etc.

POS

Doesn't connect to Bluetooth!

Constantly crashes

This app constantly crashes when trying to connect to the bulb to change the color.

The Bluetooth music works wonderfully though.

Never buy 😡

I was happy for getting a magic light.Also it took 4 hours so it can find the Bluetooth connection😡

What the heck

I can't play any of my music in my iTunes. The app says that my music is unable to play. Can you fix it?
