It would be good to get some updates. ### 2/5 — need to improve *2024-06-09, version 3.4* the idea is great, the app did what it's supposed to do, but the interface and the menus very basic. need to add more functionality like: - custom widget so I can control my control panel quickly from the lock screen or home screen. - landscape mode. - move the color wheel and preset buttons to another page. - add dark mode. - make my own button layout in full screen. if this things add to the app! i'm sure it will be more useful. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2024-04-30* This is the worst app I’ve ever used…. I have to manually connect the Bluetooth every time I open the app. The Settings tab is useless. There’s no reason to have a giant color wheel on the main switch screen…. Please, for the love of everything, give this app the modern and necessary updates it desperately needs. $270 for a switch panel and a $0.01 support application. ### 1/5 — The app with the red background does not look modern *2024-03-26, version 3.3* The red background color is annoying for some time, if it is possible to change it in the future, one pays extra to be able to enjoy the application and the red light is annoying ### 1/5 — Software failure *2024-02-18, version 3.3* The Switch panel does not work for Apple. It will not connect. Very disappointing. Now I have to buy another type of lighting that the app will actually work. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t even work *2024-01-18, version 3.3* Just bought the product and can’t even connect via Bluetooth. ### 2/5 — Auxbeam AR-800 *2023-07-26, version 3.0* Installed and pairs easily, but as of 7/26/23 I am unable to delete created groups. Could use an update to be less clunky. ### 2/5 — Dumpster of an app *2023-06-11, version 3.0* Panel defaults to a color that I didn’t select. App freezes, dimmer works when it feels like it. App needs some serious updates. Paid extra for the AR-800 panel because it is app controlled, should have just stuck with the non-app version. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2023-05-21, version 3.0* App doesn’t work nothing happens ### 3/5 — Wish the app had more options *2023-04-12, version 3.0* Please update app so that we can turn off the lights on the switch panel. I don’t need it to be backlit all the time. I also want to know how much voltage this product draws when on. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible app! *2026-08-24, version 3.7* I’ve been setting up my car for over an hour, and the RGB app still won’t connect to my phone through Bluetooth. I’ve tried everything, but I still can’t control the RGB lights. Very frustrating and disappointing. Please fix the app and Bluetooth connection issues! ### 1/5 — Terrible functionality *2026-08-19, version 3.7* Auxbeam needs to fix their app or stop selling their switch panel. App doesn’t connect at all ### 1/5 — Good products but HORRIBLE app *2026-07-26, version 3.7* App barely works. Rarely connects to Bluetooth like it’s supposed to and grouped lighting doesn’t even show up in the app once’s a group is made ### 1/5 — Horrible. *2026-04-09, version 3.7* I don’t even know why this is on the App Store. I can’t see my device in the list for Bluetooth connection. I had it connected ONCE, for whatever reason it dropped, and I have never been able to connect it again. Tried hard resetting the panel, tried removing the thin red power line to a different switched power, nothing works connecting the app to the panel. JUNK. I should have gotten the switch pros. Fml ### 1/5 — Version 2.3 does not work *2025-04-07, version 3.6* Version 2.3 update can’t find Bluetooth device we basically lost Bluetooth feature on switch panel we purchased ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2025-01-18, version 3.5* Don’t buy the auxbeam rgb set up if you actually want to use this app. It has never worked for me. Spelling errors in the app itself shows lack of accountability and pride in making the app work or even look right. ### 1/5 — App quality *2025-01-07, version 3.5* App doesn’t work on iPhone doesn’t connect should have went with a switch pro… ### 1/5 — UPDATE THIS APP PLEASE DEVS!!!! *2024-10-09, version 3.4* This is the worst app I’ve ever used…. I have to manually connect the Bluetooth every time I open the app. The Settings tab is useless. There’s no reason to have a giant color wheel on the main switch screen…. Please, for the love of everything, give this app the modern and necessary updates it desperately needs. $270 for a switch panel and a $0.01 support application. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-07-21, version 3.4* No pairing, anybody can control your switch panel Not possible to switch off backlight Switch on backlight on any action even when backlight mode is off UI is horrible ### 1/5 — App does not work *2024-07-11, version 3.4* If you’re planning on getting an auxbeam switch panel do not count on the app working. App does not work. When I downloaded the app shows version 2.3. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Eight Switch panel *2026-01-15, version 3.7* Works great, watched the video and does everything. It's says it will, I'm not a super technical guy and I was able to figure it all out. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2024-06-14, version 3.4* Awesome app CarPlay would make the even better to you use please add this to the next update 🤙🏼 ### 4/5 — Needs Apple CarPlay *2025-08-31, version 3.6* Adding CarPlay would make this 100% better ### 4/5 — CarPlay needed *2024-07-01, version 3.4* CarPlay would make these so much usable ### 4/5 — Good app. New feature idea *2024-02-25, version 3.3* It’s a great app for what it needs to be. It would be awesome to have an Apple CarPlay app so I can have the switch panel inside the car through CarPlay. If I need to turn lights on from inside the car it would be easy to just open the app on CarPlay. Please add this feature ### 3/5 — Good app *2025-03-12, version 3.5* Decent app if you pair with Auxbeam lighting systems however I can’t seem to get the app on my Apple Car Play. I searched various sites but as seen in an Auxbeam video where it was used via the vehicle interface, I can’t seem to get mine to do so. But if using off the phone, it works great, easy to pair. ### 3/5 — Skill Alexa *2024-08-06* Is it possible to make Alexa recognize this app? ### 3/5 — App works but no rolling fade option *2024-06-21, version 3.4* I really think a basic rolling fade option would be nice. Not sure if that would require a reflash of controllers firmware but I feel like for something with RGBs that should be a standard basic option. ### 3/5 — Good but has issues *2024-04-27, version 3.4* Controller app is only showing 6 button controller. I own a 8 button controller and am unable to control 2 of my outputs. ### 3/5 — Need app rework asap !!! *2023-05-21, version 3.0* Can we get a rework of the app before people stop buying the auxbeam panel because of the bad reviews on the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
