### 2/5 — No music through speaker?

*2017-09-11, version 1.2.2*

Connected to my iPhone, can control the light and control my music but whatever I do the music only comes through my phone.

### 2/5 — It won't let me play my music

*2017-05-19*

I try to play music and it says not available I wish it  would be easier to change colors and if the bulb could be brighter that would be nice to please help with all this.

### 1/5 — Not WORKING

*2017-04-03*

I have an IPhone 7 plus. Got the bulb/speaker as a gift, today. Tried it w/iPad mini 4..nothing!! The bulb feature works..No music.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-04-01*

I have an iphone6 when I connect it shows my music but will not play and says its unavailable.  Light sometimes doesn't allow me to change it or turn it back on.  Please fix!  Very unsatisfied with this product so far!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2017-03-10*

I have an iPhone 6s Plus. My phones normal Bluetooth connects  and plays music but the app won't connect so I can switch colors or do what the app is intended for. It says "connecting" for however long I allow it to sit. Currently it has said "connecting" for almost 20 mins. I've restarted my phone and turned the light off and back on and it still won't work. PLEASE FIX ASAP

### 1/5 — Won't connect

*2017-02-27*

iPhone 6 Plus. Won't connect in the app. Can't change colors. Please fix!!!

### 1/5 — Light feature doesn't work

*2017-01-11*

Always says "disconnected" when my phone is connected. Rlly annoying :/

### 2/5 — DEVELOPERS, please listen!

*2016-12-27*

I would love for you to add more features to this app. Features such as: cool and warm whites, better music light response, and importantly: auto connection! also, I want the ability for it to go through the colors of a rainbow in a nice fade.

### 1/5 — Cool idea but...

*2016-10-28*

Even though it will play music, (obviously Bluetooth IS connected), the app gives me a "Bluetooth not connected" message when I try to do anything with the light functions.

### 1/5 — Doesn't not work with iPhone 6s

*2016-07-11, version 1.2.0*

Return to store as quickly as possible.  Get your money back wasted a hour of my life trying to get it to work.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2016-07-08, version 1.2.0*

Ya my nickname sums it up. 
Fix this piece garbage app so I can smash while listening to music with no light

Bad

### 1/5 — Bad

Bad

### 1/5 — Doesn’t stay connected.

*2022-07-28*

This app is very base. I stalled it to control a bluetooth music light bulb.  However, EVERY time you need to adjust the lamp, or turn it on/off you’ve got to CONNECT!  When the app is closed the connection is lost.  Ridiculous.  Am I missing something?

### 1/5 — It works

*2020-08-12, version 1.2.2*

I got this app because I got a Bluetooth light that has speakers in it it said to use this app I did it works ok I can change the color and turn it off and on I found that I have to go into the Bluetooth on my phone and click a different Bluetooth to make the speakers work even though the app has Music from Apple Music and every time I open the app it disconnects from the light

### 1/5 — 0 Stars

*2018-07-07*

App control is non existent.

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2017-10-06, version 1.2.2*

Doesn't play music iohone 6s,my Samsung works fine so an app problem,poor wee dude is upset as he can't play music....

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2017-09-20, version 1.2.2*

App/product does not work with iPhone 6s or iPad Air. To date there is no fix for this. Very disappointed

### 1/5 — Not connecting

*2017-09-15, version 1.2.2*

Like others I am having the same problem of the speaker not working no matter what I try

### 1/5 — Not working iPad 2

*2017-09-14, version 1.2.2*

Bought this light but does not connect the app via iPad 2 but will connect via iPad Bluetooth and play music. Works fine on iPhone 7 so must be issue with app and iPad 2.

### 1/5 — No good needs work

*2017-09-13*

Setting a timer what ever! Can change the times so I don't even know if it'll remember. 

I have a list of music but the app say not available. True Bluetooth will let you listen to whatever's playing off the device. 

One star for being able to change colors yeah!

### 5/5 — It works!

*2020-12-24*

It does work I don’t why people say it does not it works I have a I phone 12 pro and it does work.

### 5/5 — Prefect!

*2017-12-05*

I’m not sure what people are talking about but I connected less than 60 sec. light is awesome. It’s a light show when you play different types of music. As for the sound it’s pretty not bad at all. Remember is a light bulb. Any louder your light bulb will crack. Don’t  you think so?

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2017-09-20, version 1.2.2*

All the features are amazing and the music works perfectly and is super loud. The colour moving to the beat is awesome. Bought a second one already.

### 5/5 — Works for me!

*2017-04-15*

Didn't touch my Bluetooth or even connect my phone manually.. just turned on the bulb and opened the app and it worked perfectly! 

If I have issues I'll report back!

### 4/5 — Cool product, but there could be more.

*2020-05-02*

I like using my light bulb during videogames, listening to music, or to just enjoy the colors. It’s proven to be a nice way to set an atmosphere. 

You definitely need to connect your phone via Bluetooth settings and then through the app in order to enjoy music AND colors. 

I just wish there was a better system for the colors matching the music. It’s a cool concept but sometimes it just doesn’t match up well. I’d also love to see if there was a setting where a slow pulsing color show could be set, with varying speed options. 

Otherwise, it serves its purpose and is a nice deal for its price. Would recommend.

### 4/5 — PLEASE READ!! Other reviews didn’t know how to connect

*2017-12-03*

To get it to work with TRUE Bluetooth and listen to anything from your phone, connect through your phones bluetooth settings, and then with the app. It will give you light controls and also any sounds you want.

Light works well, but the reactive lighting isn’t very good. Speaker lacks any bass but still sounds pretty good. $20 isn’t a bad price for it, but if you want real quality, try expanding your budget if possible, but otherwise, it is worth the cost.

### 4/5 — Multiple devices

*2017-07-11*

Please allow multiple devices to connect at the same time, it works nice for me but it will be nice if you can connect more than one that time.

### 3/5 — Perty neat

*2017-08-11*

Started workin lil better on my iphone 6 plus,
Still could use a better style alarm and bug fixes. Thanks

### 3/5 — Ehhhh....

*2016-06-11, version 1.2.0*

The app opens up but doesn't connect to the bulb my Bluetooth works but the app doesn't :( please FIX I own an iPad 2 and I'm running iOS 9.3.2

### 2/5 — No music

*2017-09-16, version 1.2.2*

Light works although doesnt seem to change automatically but no music via my iphone 6s fix please
