I got Govee on all my other TVs gave this a chance and wow what a waste. I know yall can do it do what Govee does and you guys will have something ### 2/5 — Very poor user experience *2026-06-27, version 2.5.8* I bought a set of AR Color Pickup lights to provide intelligent accent lighting behind my TV. I waited to download the app until after I’d stuck the lights on the back of my TV, which was a mistake. If I’d downloaded the app first I’d have simply returned the lights. The app is essentially nonsense; the naming of functions makes no sense at all, and has little clear connection to functions you might desire from TV lights. The bulk of functions seems to be toward lighting animations or “scenes”, none of which you’d want behind your TV. It also seems like you have to open the app to manually turn the TV lights on and off… if there’s a setting for this it’s poorly named / hard to find. The only setting that functions in a barely useful way is called “Light and Shadow Dream”… what? This app clear isn’t designed to support the hardware they sell. This is a bad app and the hardware is bad. ### 2/5 — Lights turn on by themselves *2025-12-15, version 2.5.5* Not sure why but the lights turn on whenever they want. Also, two people cannot be connected at the same time. If my husband is close by, it will not allow me to connect and control the lights . ### 1/5 — horrible *2025-11-27, version 2.5.5* they dont even work ### 1/5 — Mr B *2025-09-27, version 2.5.4* Purchased for my brand new Hisense TV worked for a week before stopping .Uninstalled the hardware and software reinstalled,tried everything still does not work ,AVOID there are better and cheaper alternatives. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-08-19, version 2.5.4* Just work for a couple of minutes with the image of the tv, after that, the leds work in a random way and never get Synchronized with the tv…and it’s annoying because distracting you from the movie ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2025-07-14, version 2.5.4* It doesn’t work anymore app has changed now the camera/sensor don’t work with the picture just purchased it now no longer works 😤😤😤 ### 1/5 — Return while you still can *2025-07-01, version 2.5.4* Entire app is in Chinese and the lights have the functionality of a mentally r3tarded baby, flickering on and off every 3 seconds. Terrible. ### 1/5 — Never worked *2025-05-27, version 2.5.4* It likes the color green. But only ever dims doesn’t really change colors. I thought it was the eye sensor so I did all kinds of things to try to improve the sensitivity. But there is no calibrating the eye. There’s a reason why they discontinued this product. Cause it’s a big f’in waste of time and money. Caveat Emptor! ### 1/5 — LED strip *2025-03-14, version 2.5.3* Open the app and add the device and if fails every time this app doesn’t even work!! ### 1/5 — Turns on in the middle of the night *2025-01-06, version 2.5.3* Every night it comes on and I have no understanding on why and I can’t get any answers or help ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-09-05, version 2.5.2* Some people got father than I did. Added them and the app never could find the lights. What a waste! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not syncing *2026-07-30, version 2.5.8* It’s not the same as it shows in all the tutorials I can’t do multi colors or anything and it doesn’t sync properly ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-06-30, version 2.5.8* My tv lights worked for 4hrs and I went to bed, when I tried to cut it on the next day morning it didn’t work at all I’ve uninstalled everything and tried to do it over but the app doesn’t recognize the device so I’m sending it back!! ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-03-04, version 2.5.6* Worked fine for 2 days, but i woke up one morning and the lights were just not working, i cant seem to connect to them because the leds just wont power on ### 1/5 — Chinese app. *2026-03-03, version 2.5.6* Everything is in Chinese. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-01-28, version 2.5.5* I received a uLamp lighting strip to go with my widescreen TV. After having it all set up, it worked fine for roughly two weeks. Then, the app was incapable of recognizing the lamp. After trying everyone under the sun, turning the power off and back on, closing the app and starting it back up again, rebooting my iPhone numerous times, and even deleting the app to redownload and set up again, the app does not recognize the uLamp anymore. I cannot turn it on. This app is a JOKE! I don’t know when it was last updated, but given the number of poor reviews this app has received, I am now feeling a tremendous sense of Buyer’s Remorse for having acquired the uLamp system. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work *2026-01-28, version 2.5.5* Bought lights to work with my tv when watching movie and when try to sort it says download faild ### 1/5 — Dosnt work anymore *2026-01-28, version 2.5.5* Stopped working randomly after a week stay well away ### 1/5 — Ulamp *2026-01-19, version 2.5.5* Doesn’t Work. Tried everything doesn’t match the picture on the tv. Just makes random colours through the backlight ### 1/5 — Return your product too! *2026-01-07, version 2.5.5* If you even consider buying a product that asks you to use Ulamp don’t buy it. You’re wasting your time and money and it’s not just the app the entire thing is set up to fail you. ### 1/5 — No sync *2025-12-27, version 2.5.5* Been trying for hours to get the lights to sync with the TV but I can’t figure it out.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So good devs *2026-05-29, version 2.5.8* I thought for the price you wouldn’t be able to so so much but it’s actually mad how good the app is ### 5/5 — Tiktok *2026-04-14, version 2.5.7* Got this thing off tiktok for my 50 inch tv 26 bucks connects and easy to setup 10/10 ### 5/5 — Loving my light strip *2025-05-13* The family is loving our new light strip. What was once a blank wall with a TV hanging on it is now transformed into a colorful wall. ### 5/5 — User Error *2025-03-19, version 2.5.3* The app works fine, however you need some slight mechanical knowledge to count the ics so your lights work properly. Nine times out of ten, its not the software, its the user. There are many configurable options which i find nice. Though i just needed to set it up once. -JF -AZ-CITY, AZ REAL REVIEW, bought em off amazon 39.99 ### 5/5 — No funciona *2024-05-26, version 2.4* La aplicación se actualizó y ahora no me funciona en mi otro celular tiene la versión 1.1.8 y me funciona pero ahora en la 2 no Que se puede hacer ### 4/5 — My app is only in Chinese(?) *2026-05-01, version 2.5.7* There’s no way to change the language but the app works. I just don’t under what anything says. ### 4/5 — Works okay *2026-04-26* Works alright. But the light strip turns on by itself. If that could be fixed, it would be perfect. ### 3/5 — Very limited *2026-06-05, version 2.5.8* I just installed the lights from Amazon today and so far they do work well. For the app, there can only be one person connected to the lights at a time which is not ideal at all, hopefully this changes soon. ### 3/5 — FOR PEOPLE WITH COLOR ISSUES *2024-01-15, version 2.3* I just found it out so go to the lights you want to change back in to regular color and go to the settings thing and click line order!just find the one that suits best!I just found it out after messing with it ### 2/5 — Won’t stay off *2026-08-08, version 2.5.8* I have had this set up for a while and one thing that bothers me is that it turns itself on. I don’t want this to happen. If the strip turns on while I’m not home, it’s wasting energy. Please fix this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
