Please allow a revert option to version 1. ### 4/5 — Great Recess Lights/Night Light Mode/Multiple colors *2026-08-24, version 1.36.3* I love these lights! We got the Halo 5/6 Recessed lights and have done our hallway and breakfast nook! The lights are easy to install and the setup was so easy! Plenty of colors and I’m in love with the night light feature! They are expensive$42 a pop and I think they are a little over priced. $32 is more on par. Also you can’t use these lights if the lights are on a dimmer switch. I wish there was a way to get around that but we actually removed the dimmer switch and installed a regular switch after we bought the first set because I enjoyed them so much! They are sleek and classy and well made! I haven’t had any issues with the app at all! ### 4/5 — Love these lights but one thing. *2026-08-23, version 1.36.3* I love how bright they are. But i think it would be amazing if you could make them WAY more dim than what is currently possible. ### 2/5 — They never connect to the app *2026-08-21, version 1.36.3* Whenever I try to turn them off from my phone the app doesn’t connect to the lights ### 1/5 — Please stop asking for reviews *2026-08-20, version 1.36.3* Everytime I open the app I get asked for a review. So here you go. ### 4/5 — Best so far *2026-08-20, version 1.36.3* I’ve had a much better experience from wiz (and related devices) than other brand combinations. I do wish they would include more precise control of fixtures in the app. Maybe a separate page of controls for “easy” vs “advanced” operation? ### 1/5 — I need a second one *2026-08-19, version 1.36.3* I’m trying to connect this to an Alexa And I need the first and second version problem being there is no first version ### 4/5 — Random disconnect *2026-08-18, version 1.36.3* Random lights disconnect they still work but they’ll disconnect and won’t change in the app and is a pain to get reconnected ### 3/5 — Got rid of vacation mode and rhythms don’t work *2026-08-18, version 1.36.3* Don’t know why they are forcing the transition to v2 when the improvements are ??? I prefer the original API. Vacation mode was great, but doesn’t exist in v2. Spent a lot of time trying to fake vacation mode with rhythms when I was rushing to leave town and found that the v1 was complaining about it (no reason why). Upon returning from our vacation it was clear that rhythms were not working as advertised, even though they were all enabled. Wish Wiz was as easy and reliable as it used to be… ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2026-08-18, version 1.36.3* Nightlight is still too bright and doesn’t hold last saved position. The entire app shouldn’t be this hard. The old app was better. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-18, version 1.36.3* Worked for a couple months. No longer will connect. ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2026-08-18, version 1.36.3* Keep getting network error. Wiz 1 won't accept FORCED passkey, Wiz 2 sends a scan code to the same device I'm using. Tried another device, Wiz 2 tells me to go back to the first device. First devices tells me scan again. Wiz 1 was working flawless for 5 years now this. Hate it ### 1/5 — Don't bother. Just avoid this whole platform *2026-08-17, version 1.36.3* Reliability gets worse year after year. Light groups will only have half or less lights turn off with one command. I have a gigabit router and it still is unresponsive. Get something with a home base that doesnt need wifi ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-08-15, version 1.36.3* I have spent way too much time for these lights that don’t connect. I have amazing wifi so that isn’t the issue ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst app/bulbs ever *2026-08-26, version 1.37.5* I bought 3 smart bulbs a few years ago. They worked beautifully on the v1 app. But the v1 app was no longer supported so I was forced to download v2. Now the bulbs won’t connect to the new app. Don’t waste your money on these bulbs b/c the designers will make them obsolete in the near future even though there’s nothing wrong with the bulbs. Shop elsewhere! ### 1/5 — One step forward, two steps back. *2026-08-26, version 1.37.5* Where is vacation mode? ### 1/5 — Maudite calvaire de cochonnerie *2026-08-26, version 1.37.5* V ### 1/5 — Goes offline all the time *2026-08-25, version 1.37.5* They go offline and don’t go back on , constantly! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-08-24, version 1.37.5* New app doesn’t work at all i cant even turn off the light anymore totally useless now ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2026-08-22, version 1.36.3* Since updates it can no longer find my device so now I have a bulb that’s either a disgusting bright blue-white colour or a pointlessly dim yellow and I have to use a physical switch. In other words the app is now tits on a fish. ### 1/5 — Do not download *2026-08-22, version 1.36.3* Needed to make sure to leave a 1 star review because for some reason the app has a 4 star rating. This app is terrible. Why make it so that you cannot change the time to any value? I cannot select 6:31-6:39. You can only choose in 10 minute increments. Who thought that was a good idea? Also why can you not make it so that the light turns off after x amount of time? How is the old discontinued app better than this “v2”. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work as advertised *2026-08-22, version 1.36.3* This app is amazingly frustrating. If you chose this life to be frustrated this app is for you. ### 1/5 — V2 worse than original app *2026-08-21, version 1.36.3* Please revert back to v1 simple main menu/home page control panel. Like many others, I was forced to download a new app (v2) and why on earth did they have to make something as simple as turning on a light bulb or swapping colors have more steps than necessary. The original app was far superior. It was straightforward, easy to use, and the Home Screen laid everything out perfectly. I used it for years and only switched after my first purchased bulb died (it lasted about 3 years of daily use) and v1 would not allow me to update the room anymore. This new app alone makes me want to not repurchase these bulbs after they die. ### 1/5 — Why make it worse?! *2026-08-20, version 1.36.3* The original app worked great. I tried a schedule with this one….lights are still on. Ridiculous they had to change apps ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A great lighting system *2026-08-24, version 1.37.5* We use this for our house lighting but can be changed to theme parties very quickly We have had 80 lights working for two years now ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-24, version 1.37.5* I have Hue lights for years and love them but these has made connecting easier and quicker to do ### 5/5 — Top app *2026-08-19, version 1.36.3* Great app, great devices really like these around the house ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2026-08-19, version 1.36.3* Esto es muy útil para un hogar cuando quieres cambiar de luz es genial ### 5/5 — I love WIZ *2026-08-16, version 1.36.3* A real game changer for your comfort!!! plus it’s so much fun for the kids to have a full flashing party house ! ### 5/5 — Colorful *2026-08-06, version 1.36.3* User friendly ### 5/5 — WiZ setup *2026-08-06, version 1.36.3* Very easy to setup and works like charm ### 5/5 — Nice app and good features *2026-08-06, version 1.36.3* Nice app and functionality.
