## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Connects/disconnects

*2017-07-02, version 1.04*

Nice idea if it had worked. Bluetooth very buggy- continually had to be paired & re-paired to mixed results, mostly poor.

### 1/5 — Poor software

*2017-02-20, version 1.04*

It's always a headache trying to connect to the Sun Beats light bulb. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Always a headache.

### 1/5 — Cool concept, pain to use

*2017-02-15, version 1.04*

There is no reason I should have to tap 4 times before connecting to my bulb, and redo this process every time I move away or close the app. Also, the system is lacking memory, making the Timing Light function completely useless. Oh, and if I want the speaker to work, that requires a separate workaround outside the app. The light itself is cool, but what a pain!

### 1/5 — A poorly-translated lesson in (un)usability

*2016-11-27, version 1.04*

Every time I open this app, I need to dig through menus and submenus just to select my (only) Sunbeats Pro. Then I can take control of it. If I switch away from the app, repeat this process all over again. 

My biggest gripe, though, is that the light bulb is now stuck on full brightness. I don't know if it's the bulb or the app, but now there's nothing I can do to control the bulb.

### 2/5 — Almost useless

*2017-09-09, version 1.04*

You can use this app to change the color/brightness. So, two stars, I guess..?
The integrated speaker function only works with Apple music on your device. 

The timers are actually useless. Truly, fully useless. They have absolutely no function. They do not work at all. It's incredibly disappointing, actually. 

As others have stated, you can only control one bulb- which is a bummer. But this would be forgiveable if not for the other terrible "features"

### 2/5 — Needs multi bulb control

*2017-01-09, version 1.04*

So much for home automation toys. Can only control one bulb at a time.

Would be nice to be able to have finer control over the color. Maybe some RGB sliders. I would like to match my existing warm colored bulbs in the house.

### 2/5 — Only functional with one bulb at a time

*2016-11-20, version 1.04*

Please add in functionality for controlling two bulbs and playing music over both at the same time, my room has two ceiling slots for the bulbs I use but unfortunately I can't control both at the time and I might return the product if the problem persists

### 3/5 — Good idea, but clunky at best

*2017-10-23, version 1.04*

Wanted to use for Halloween, but recently can’t get pulse to work with music.  Music is playing through the bulb and am using the app to controls the music. It still says “connect to Bluetooth“. Argh. Please fix within the week. Yeah, right

### 3/5 — Clunky software

*2017-03-24, version 1.04*

At first, I didn't think the bulb worked because it was telling me to "Please connect the bluetooth" while I was simultaneously playing podcasts through it as a generic Bluetooth speaker. Then I opened the menu in the app, noticed the "Bluetooth Conn" item, and discovered that in fact, the app has just been unbelievably horribly designed. Multi-bulb support would be really nice, but first please fix the horrible connection procedure.

Otherwise the bulb is pretty nice, but I would not buy it again, knowing that I'd be stuck with such a horrible interface. I sincerely hope the devs improve the app.

-10 points for blatantly adding bogus reviews

### 5/5 — Sunbeats

*2020-09-15, version 1.04*

It’s really good no problem here
