### 1/5 — What happened???

*2021-12-31, version 1.2.7*

App was working fine until latest update 2 days ago, now no matter what I try I can’t connect to my lights and neither can my partner, we keep getting a timeout message when trying to connect!!

### 1/5 — Updated app and no longer works

*2021-12-30, version 1.2.7*

It’s never been a great app, but since latest update I cannot connect to the lights anymore so now the lights are useless and you have no way of reporting a problem hence the 1 star review.

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2021-12-30, version 1.2.7*

I can no longer connect to my lights after the latest update (1.2.7). Lights are detected but I now get a connection time out error when trying to select them. I now can’t turn the lights on/off!

### 1/5 — You broke it

*2021-12-29, version 1.2.7*

App was working fine but the latest version no longer connects to the lights. Please fix or re-release the previous version asap.

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2021-12-13, version 1.2.6*

Basic user interface that is very poorly designed and not compatible when running iOS in Dark mode.

### 1/5 — Lights are great - the app is not!

*2021-11-27, version 1.2.6*

Lights are wonderful but this app is terrible! Can’t actually see what times I’m selecting for the timer and can only sync the lights with Apple Music not Spotify.

### 1/5 — Don’t work.

*2021-07-28, version 1.2.6*

There WiFi app has it all but this one fails to work on every level. Needs serious work. However the lights them-self work. Shame really

### 1/5 — Poor App - Lights great

*2021-01-10, version 1.2.2*

iPhone 12 Pro
Running latest iOS

Timer screen - no times shown when trying to change, just blank and no pattern to the ‘wheel’ so impossible to manually step through meaning that this feature is unusable. 

On top of this, settings aren’t remembered when power is turned off, so can’t use a ‘Wi-Fi’ plug to set own timer/use as Wi-Fi lights.

Lights are great - just most features are pointless as can’t use them effectively!

Please fix URGENTLY!

### 1/5 — APP DOESN’T WORK

*2021-01-05, version 1.2.2*

Won’t connect to my iPhone 12 rubbish app
Can you fix please.

### 1/5 — Lights are fine, app is terrible

*2020-12-24, version 1.2.2*

I have been trying to get support for this app and no luck. The music function only works on some songs, and the lights are only recognised some of the time. There are spelling errors on the app, and it all seems very cheap.

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2020-12-20, version 1.2.2*

Cannot set the timer option and music also appears not too work. Bluetooth is VERY temperamental often won’t find or connect lights.

### 1/5 — Appalling App

*2020-12-20, version 1.2.2*

The lights are lovely but the app is diabolical!
By the time this app connects to the lights cream eggs will be on sale at Tesco.
It gives me the screaming ab dabs every time I try to use it..... fuming

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2020-12-19, version 1.2.2*

Very limited functionality. Does not work in dark mode. Timer function does not work at all (whatever time you select it just defaults to midnight).

### 1/5 — NOMA lights

*2020-12-19, version 1.2.2*

Can not believe that Aldi are actually selling these lights.
Yes the lights are ok when you eventually get the app to work, but It’s all very frustrating trying to get into the app in the first place.
The music function does not work & in my opinion very over priced for what you get.

### 1/5 — Music doesn’t play.

*2020-12-17, version 1.2.2*

Can’t connect to the Music library.. !?!
And the help website is all in Chinese!!! What is the point ?

### 1/5 — Timers do not work.

*2023-12-12, version 1.2.8*

The lights I purchased use this app. 
A major selling point is the ability to control them from my phone. 
This is useless if the timer won’t work. 
If I attempt to use them the clock defaults to current time on off or 0:00 on off. 
It never remembers the timers. 
But turning off the lights at the switch deletes all other settings. 
I have wasted my money. 
Avoid

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2022-12-24, version 1.2.8*

Lights don’t connect to the app. App searches for the lights but fails every time. Running iPhone 13 on latest software and app up to date. These lights sill be getting returned.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync to music library

*2022-12-03, version 1.2.8*

So you pay money for NOMA and the app is supposed to sync to your music library well it doesn’t sync to Apple Music so the app is a load of rubbish.

### 1/5 — Update stopped lights connecting

*2022-01-21, version 1.2.8*

After the most recent update my lights stopped working. They are detected via Bluetooth but the app will not connect. Very frustrating as they were working perfectly the day before

### 1/5 — Apple Music only!

*2022-01-04, version 1.2.7*

At the start of December everything seemed to work okay. Since updating the software it’s changed. App finds the lights but times out before connecting. It’s also very disappointing that the music is only supported by using Apple. Not Spotify!

### 1/5 — Abysmal

*2022-01-03, version 1.2.7*

The latest app update has rendered these lights completely useless.
The app can no longer connect to the lights so once they’ve been unplugged and forgotten the mode and timer settings they can’t be reset.
The default modes appear to be various speeds of plain white flashing.
Unless this is fixed by the time lights go on sale for next Christmas these are going in the bin.
Really disappointed.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2022-01-02, version 1.2.7*

Since you updated the app few days ago I can no longer connect to my lights. It can find my lights but cannot connect. “Connection timed out”. Tried deleting and reinstalling app. Unplugged lights and reconnected. Nothing works.
My lights are 12 months old.

### 1/5 — 1.2.7 No longer works - doesn’t connect

*2022-01-02, version 1.2.7*

The latest update fails to connect to the lights and renders them useless other than the default colours. Christmas over - let’s hope it’s rectified before December!!

### 1/5 — Not working 😢

*2022-01-01, version 1.2.7*

Absolutely loved these app been using for a year however, since the latest update I can switch them on but cannot change any of the settings. Really hope this is rectified soon.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2022-01-01, version 1.2.7*

This app has never been great but after the update it won’t even connect to the lights making them pointless. Zero support and literally nothing online. Avoid buying these lights.

### 5/5 — Great bit of kit

*2020-11-23, version 1.2.1*

Having had a play around I got myself used to the app and the lights. It did take a little playing and understanding that you need to allow it access to certain sections of your phone but works great.... music mode defiantly works better with higher tempos and strong beats :)

### 4/5 — App not working - update

*2022-01-05, version 1.2.8*

Since the last update it no longer connects to the lights and just times out. I am now unable to change them so what is the point!! Please fix this asap, this is the worst time for this to happen!

**UPDATE** The recent update has fixed the issues and it is now working again. Thank you for fixing it quickly.

### 4/5 — Lights great app just won’t connect

*2020-12-11, version 1.2.2*

Really struggling to get the lights to connect on the app. I’ve closed phone I’ve refreshed and updated the app but still won’t connect! Looks like a Christmas with no lights for me!

### 4/5 — Good enough app but

*2020-11-17, version 1.2.1*

Can’t change the times it comes on and off with my iPhone in dark mode. Had to switch it to enable me to see the times.

### 3/5 — Needs work...

*2020-12-08, version 1.2.2*

Can’t see the timer-timer won’t save.

### 3/5 — Music

*2020-11-14, version 1.2.1*

I would love to be able to pick the colours when I play music instead of it just being rainbow automatically. Great app tho can’t wait to put them on the tree!!!

### 2/5 — App update broken

*2021-12-29, version 1.2.7*

Since I updated the app I keep getting a connection time out error and can no longer control my lights

### 2/5 — Noma lights

*2020-12-16, version 1.2.2*

The lights themselves are quite good. However the timer settings are very poor. You have to guess the time you want the lights on and off. As the time does not appear on the timer settings screen. Only when you press ok. Then you can see what time you’ve set the lights on/off. Very poor setup for otherwise quite good lights.

### 2/5 — Lights are fab, but...

*2020-12-10, version 1.2.2*

Lights are great but the timer doesn’t save! Need to have “dark mode” off to see times but when I set, it doesn’t save and shows 00:00. Shame!

### 2/5 — Music feature don’t work

*2020-12-07, version 1.2.2*

The lights them self are good but the app is terrible. The music feature doesn’t work hope it gets sorted by Christmas or it was pointless
