### 2/5 — These lights are maddening!

*2024-07-28*

I have a lot of these lights in my studio. Price is decent and they look good. But……they do NOT consistently stay connected.  And it doesn’t matter how far, or close, to the router they are. I have lights that have stopped turning on for weeks and out of no where turn on. Other lights will simply no longer connect and the only way they work is if I manually turn them on/off. 
Right now I have lights in one room that once they are on will NOT connect to app anymore and therefore will not turn off unless I unplug them. but they are in the ceiling so that is a pain.  
And while the developer is usually quick to respond to help via the app, the trouble shooting steps are ridiculous. 
My advice is if you want to have wifi lights go with another brand. I’ll be switching the majority of mine out soon because I’m sick of them not working.

### 3/5 — Simple and works well, but…

*2023-12-03*

Simple and easy to use although horizontally scrolling to access rooms isn’t the greatest user experience. In need of some simple UI improvements / options, but mostly OK and has worked consistently since setup. 

There is a v2 of the app and unfortunately the reviews for it are abysmal. If you decide to remain on the legacy app you are punished each and every time you open the app by having to bypass their popup message urging you to switch to v2. Additionally if you switch to v2 and decide to switch back all your data will be gone and you’ll have to re set up everything. Insultingly bad user experience. Otherwise this is a solid 4 star app in need of only minor tweaks.

There are vague replies to poor reviews of v2 suggesting fixes or improvements are coming soon but without knowing for sure when those will happen or if they will work… I will continue to use v1 legacy begrudgingly.

### 3/5 — It's ok on the old version

*2023-04-08*

I have never migrated to the new version but it seems like there are more negative reviews from people using the newer version. I do have issues every now and then  with bulbs dropping a signal and having to repair, but that's usually it. and one other issue I've noticed is that the app does not adjust for daylight savings time. So I usually have to go in and adjust the time frames for the outdoor bulbs I have on a schedule, so that's just a little bit annoying. I have the same issue as others where the App will  tell me I'm not connected to the correct Wi-Fi, but if I opt to pair manually it usually works for me. The bulbs themselves are amazing, I am super picky about lighting, so I love being able to adjust the Tone, brightness, and literally every color in the rainbow! The app could use some work though, it would be nice if things worked a little smoother and the signal wasn't dropped as frequently.  I understand the bulbs are a newer concept, so it probably just takes some time to perfect this kind of application but I hope they work out the bugs because they'll definitely get an update of five stars from me if they do!

### 2/5 — Major Connectivity Issues

*2023-03-14*

I loved the idea of creating custom colors for my lights with the changing of the seasons/holidays. I am using the light bulbs in my Coach lights and porch light. Unfortunately, there are major connectivity issues…in that one or more bulbs is regularly unable to connect to the app, therefore not turning on or not shutting off. It’s never the same bulb. The issue likes to randomly rotate between my 4 light bulbs. How often is this happening? Every other day. Every other day one or more bulbs won’t turn on/off. The app says the bulbs can’t connect to the wifi. I have to manually unscrew and rescrew the bulb back in and like magic, connectivity is restored. 
The reason I purchased these bulbs was so that I could have my exterior lights turn on/off with a set schedule. Because of the crappy app, I never know when all 4 of my lights will actually work. On the rare day that all of them actually turn on, it’s not guaranteed they will stay that way. I’ve gone outside an hour later and one of the lights will be off. It’s infuriating. There’s no reason for the excuse of a weak wifi signal. I have a wifi booster in my garage. 
My advice to you is to find smart bulbs that do not use the Wiz app. It’s nothing but a joke.

### 2/5 — Not going to migrate

*2023-02-11, version 1.27.0*

I just read a good portion of the reviews for your V2 app and given that out of well over 500 reviews, the average is less than one star I will definitely not be upgrading if you can even call it that! Not only are there, tons of complaints that either it doesn’t work with Apple, or just doesn’t connect at all after changing to the new app, but when I was reading the various options within my current apps settings for version two there were literally many typos in the instructions which leads me to believe that either the same people that developed the app and caused many bugs wrote the instructions or quality control is not the main purpose. I will definitely not be upgrading/migrating!! I also doubt I will receive developer feedback to this review.

### 3/5 — Dark Mode

*2022-12-09, version 1.27.0*

It would be great if the app had a dark mode. I’ve got my lights dimmed before bed, but the app (being white) is brighter than the light bulb! Update: thanks for the response. It would be helpful to also create “favorite” buttons separate from the menu so I don't have to scroll through the menu choices every time. Update: When setting the scheduled light color changes, it would be nice to allow for a 15-30 second transition period. When the light flips from say 2300 to daylight at the set time, it’s kind of annoying. But a transition period would be nice.

### 4/5 — Can’t connect Siri.

*2022-10-03, version 1.26.1*

Do everything the app and the instructions tell me to do and it just keeps telling me that it can’t find any devices. I restart everything and try again and still nothing. That’s why I got it. And I can’t use the voice command. And yes, it says on the box and instructions that this bulb is voice activated. And when I look up the options the only bums it show are A19’s and I have an A21. Don’t see why that would matter if it says that works with Alexa and Siri.

### 2/5 — Cool concept. Poor execution

*2022-09-02, version 1.26.1*

So I have a fan remote kit. My light socket is ALWAYS on and I usually control my light via the wiz app. This worked great for about a month. Now I use my remote. Because this app only sees the light 40% of the time now. I used to have a schedule set that would turn the light on. Worked better than an alarm clock. But now it won’t see it. I can open the app and leave it open. And I can watch the light connection come and go. One second giving me buttons to turn it on and off and change colors. Now I watch it go from options. To telling me to make sure my light is on and connected to WiFi

### 2/5 — Love the product but the app is terrible

*2022-08-17, version 1.26.1*

Never write reviews ever but I’m very fed up with the app. I put circadian rhythms on once and now its stuck on that setting for every color (I turned the feature off in every setting possible). I shouldn’t have to reconfigure the bulb for every glitch. It’s also very slow to recognize the light when you open the app in a home with strong wifi. It doesn’t stay consistent with the last setting you had on either when you turn on the light. I know it’s not a malfunctioning bulb because I’ve had multiple bulbs in different homes and this is how it is. 
Love the features and options this product has, but it needs a strong app to make that worth anything. Hopefully that comes over time

### 2/5 — Very disappointed

*2022-07-04, version 1.26.1*

I got these for my birthday expecting a remote, but no. A app I have to download. Easy as pie right? No. The lights are stuck yellow and it tells me to manually get them to connect and they absolutely won’t! I have two pairs in my room and they won’t connect to either one of them. I think it’s a clear waste of money if they don’t even work, I’d rather lose the remote than throw a chair across the room. 

Note: the instructions don’t tell you how to do this stuff and don’t come with an option of remote!

The lights don’t work whatsoever. I’ve tried everything and they don’t. Your company is garbage if you can’t give people an option of remote. Me and my dad are buying remote ones. Never using this again. Not even if I was dared 100 bucks.

### 4/5 — Functionality Request

*2022-06-08, version 1.26.1*

Edit:
Would also request option in app for dark mode.
Enjoy the app. Thought I would throw this out there. It would be nice to have this option when you place single bulbs in the app into a group. This is a great option which I enjoy. It would be nice if you could add this feature. When you long hold on a group of bulbs you created, it then brings that group to the forefront. Here would be nice to add an option to allow the manipulation of a single bulb in the group. So you could change color, brightness, etc. Instead, currently you would need to drag the bulb out of the group, wait for app and bulbs to refresh, then change color on that single bulb. When done, you then have to drag that bulb back into the group if you wish to control a group of bulbs at the same time (not an entire room). This would be a great feature to add and I hope it comes under consideration. I have enjoyed the app since downloading almost 2 months ago and have lots of theses wiz & philips bulbs.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind review. We higly value our user feedback. Your suggestions will surely be passed on to our product development team. Also, you will be happy to know that we are adding Dark Mode to the WiZ app soon. :)

### 3/5 — Getting better - room for improvement

*2022-04-25, version 1.26.0*

It would be appreciated if WiZ would publish a change log somewhere so we can have some more details on what bugs are resolved in each release.

This app and the associated ecosystem has improved over the years but can still be better. I’ve amassed a collection of over 30 WiZ enabled bulbs and fixtures. WiZClick is a great feature with one glaring hole - the missing ability to select a rhythm as one of the choices when flipping the lights on. Flip on the lights - sync to the room rhythm. A quick off and on for the second time - an alternate present of choice - like cool white at full brightness. I’d also love to be able to use a single rhythm across multiple rooms or be able to copy a rhythm from one room to the next. Sadly I’ve asked support for this feature numerous times over the past several years with no sign of it to come. My fingers remain crossed.

**Developer response:** Hello. We higly value our user feedback. Your suggestion will surely be passed on to our product development team.

### 3/5 — An improvement, but could be better

*2022-03-25, version 1.25.0*

I had left Wiz for Nanoleaf after being sick and tired of constant network errors and being unable to control my lights. After only 6 weeks with Nanoleaf, I’m getting rid of all of those bulbs and bought even more Wiz bulbs than before because at least this app works most of the time and setup is a lot easier and worlds faster.
That being said, would love to see an easier way to create scenes with multiple rooms together instead of individual rooms separately because that is a huge time sink trying to get an entire home to perform a mood change all at once.

### 4/5 — Keeps changing on its own

*2022-02-21, version 1.25.0*

I honestly love the idea of changing your light bulb colors and it is actually really cool. The thing that bothers me is that when it gets late it gets darker. I'll be in my room with no intention of going to bed and my light will slowly get darker until it's on the night mode which is just a small light for when it's night. I turn the lights brighter then it does it again. I have to chang it to any other color and sometimes it still even does it. The other day I was in my room with my phone off and my lights start going to a pinkish to a light orange to a yellow over and over again and it wouldn't stop. It was so random and I wasn't touching my phone and no one in my house has the app to control my lights. It was really weird and it happend twice that same day but not any other day. Other than that, having color changing light bulbs is awesome.

### 4/5 — Update to the New App

*2022-02-18, version 1.25.0*

Using this app only to integrate with Alexa and the required Skill. I’ve used one Wiz bulb for over a year now (others are Hue bulbs)  and had no problems until a few weeks ago when it stopped responding to Alexa commands. I received a notification through the Alexa app stating basically that the account verification period had expired and needed to be renewed. The device would show “Server Unresponsive” as a result. I opened the Wiz app and instantly got a notification that there was a new app that Wiz switched to and that I must download and migrate my account over. Migration occurred automatically upon opening the new app. Followed the steps and got logged into the new app. Deleted the old app. Had to Re-integrate back to my account in the settings menu of the Wiz app and then re-installed the Wiz skill back into the Alexa app. Finally, the Wiz Skill kept prompting me to enter a six digit pin that was supposedly generated in the Wiz App settings under Integration, however no pin is presented as I’m assuming the new app no longer uses this method of verification. The light ends up working even without a PIN number so I’m now running smoothly again. I think the Wiz skill could be updated.

### 4/5 — pretty good for the price

*2022-02-09, version 1.25.0*

i thought i would save a few bucks and picked up a couple these instead of the Phillips Hue bulbs i’d been using - the major difference i’ve noticed are lower color saturation and fewer color options in the Wiz bulbs (user can’t define a custom array of colors to cycle thru but a few cookie cutter options are available from the manufacturer ie halloween, christmas, pastels, party) as usual you get what you pay for and in this case is a stable smart bulb that works and gets the job done - and now i have to switch apps to control a couple of bulbs which is a huge, self-induced PITA.

### 1/5 — Trash app but your only choice for wiz

*2024-06-11*

I’m not sure how many years it has been since Phillips purchased Wiz, but it’s clear that prioritizing compatibility and functionality has always been last. Whether it’s shortcuts failing for no reason, a total lack of ability to integrate with the apple “home” app, or a total lack of security for the bulbs on your local network, this app seems great until you discover its numerous years long bugs! Hue app came first and was a way more robust product, and this festering garbage heap still lacks features the first Hue product had for years. I could write an app myself and it wouldn’t have been half this poorly thought out and executed. Terrible.

Edit: recently had a power outage, 25 out of the 30 bulbs I have will not reconnect. I am out almost $700 worth of hardware not even counting the cost of labor of trying to reinstall these. It seems like Phillips is trying to set themselves up for class action lawsuit.

### 1/5 — Make the app available for MAC desktop

*2023-02-23, version 1.27.0*

I’ve created shortcuts for my lights around the house. Didn’t realize the hoops I’d be going through, just to be able to turn on lights. Shouldn’t be this way. Philips light bulbs have you using this app. Fine, but if u want to try and use your MAC, this app isn’t available in the Apple App Store for your MAC. So don’t start making shortcuts later to find out, you won’t be able to use them because this app is only compatible on your iPhone or iPad. Everything else is cool, but for this MAJOR reason alone, my rating is a 1 star. Another thing about these colored bulbs, if this is a Hue Philips product, why can’t I use the Hue Philips app to turn these bulbs on? Why do I have to download another app like Wiz that doesn’t even have the Hue Philips name attached to it? I don’t like having to download a 2nd app to turn these bulbs on. I have the led Hue Philips strip. I thought their app would turn these bulbs on. They don’t. Too much money spent for all these hoops.

### 1/5 — Trash app but your only choice for wiz

*2022-12-13, version 1.27.0*

I’m not sure how many years it has been since Phillips purchased Wiz, but it’s clear that prioritizing compatibility and functionality has always been last.

### 1/5 — I am extremely unhappy set up is horrible

*2022-11-06, version 1.27.0*

Thus app is not ready for prime time and is extremely buggy and archaic to set up Philips bulbs.  Very poor integration with Philips wiz enabled bulbs.  

One problem is when I click on wiz help when wiz can not configure a bulb - there is no way to get out of wiz help unless I completely shut down my iPhone and reboot.  Because when i try to close and then re open wiz app from my iPhone when I. Help it just takes me back to the wiz help menu.  Only to use wiz again is to reboot the iPhone.  There is no clickable link to get out if help. 

The setup interface to find a wiz bulb is buggy and hardly ever works.

Another problem are Mac addresses of wiz/Philips bulbs.  Philips does not print the Mac addresses on the bulb housing so the only way to find the MAC address is to set up the bulb first with the software and a Wi-Fi connection to the bulb.  Impossible to do if one is using Mac filtering.  Wiz did a horrible job integrating these bulbs with the software.  

The setup and establishment  of a Wi-Fi connection is a total pia philips and wiz need to make this seamless for the amount of money they charge for these bulbs.  The help instructions are written horribly.  Very disappointed after spending so much money in over a dozen Philips bulbs.

### 1/5 — Trash bulbs and trash app.

*2022-07-22, version 1.26.1*

Bulbs work fine for a week. Then stop working. The bulbs consistently have connectivity issues. I’ve tried unpairing and re pairing, changing WiFi settings, buying new bulbs and even bought a new WiFi modem and new router. Still the same old issues. The app will first state that one bulb isn’t connected to WiFi and the other one is but then will give me the option to turn the room on after a few seconds. I’ll turn on the room and request the lights to turn blue, for example. One light will turn a different color other than blue and the other one won’t even turn on. This isn’t a bulb specific issue, this happens with either bulb. I have their garbage bulbs in all rooms of my house and they have the same issue. I bought another set of Wiz bulbs and even those ones had issues out of the box. Sadly, they rarely update the app and their Alexa skill. Don’t rely on the possibly fake reviews posted on here. This is NOT a 4 star app and most certainly NOT a 4 star product. Anything with the Wiz logo should go straight from the factory to the landfill.

### 1/5 — Never working properly

*2022-07-01, version 1.26.1*

Very difficult to pair to your network and once paired, the devices will continually experience connectivity issues or glitches with color themes, schedules, and routines requiring you to delete it and re-pair it. If you delete the device with connectivity issues and add it again you can usually pair it again after a few tries but I suggest pairing manually because the smart pairing option never works unless you switch your router settings to 2.4GHz network only which is ridiculous. I have other brand technology on the same router requiring 2.4GHz network to function and have minimal issues with them. This technology doesn’t seem that adaptive to routers that run both which is basically the standard router everyone has in their homes.

### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible

*2022-06-14, version 1.26.1*

I originally started out with Philips Hue which was an intuitive app and hardware that worked fine on all my devices and synced nicely with HomeKit. Ever since they released Wiz, I have had nothing but problems. Switch a password on your Wi-Fi? Gonna have to delete and re-add every single light. Lights won’t re-pair to your network? You have to delete the app and start over. Still not working? You can chat with a chat or for 10 minutes until you’re turned over to an outsourced technician who answers your messages at the rate of once every 15 minutes. I’m tossing these lights and never buying Philips smart lighting again. They took a great product and turned it into absolute garbage.

### 1/5 — If you like every light turning on at 2am during a storm, this is for you.

*2022-06-10, version 1.26.1*

We have now experienced multiple overnight wakes up (including all 3 of our children 5 and under) during a storm when the power flickers and then every single bulb in our house turns on. We thought we were making our lives easier when we switched everything to Wiz bulbs. Instead, the setting that allows you to keep the lights off after a power outage doesn’t work and we spend the next who knows how long trying to get our kids back to sleep. This has happened at least 3x in 2 months. 

Not to mention the fact that the app doesn’t work half the time and bulbs are constantly losing connectivity/not responding. We’ve stopped using Alexa to control the bulbs in our kitchen altogether, just going back to using the switch, because I can’t remember the last time that actually worked. The bulbs in one kids’ room are constantly unresponsive so we’re just using the switch in there. It’s honestly more of a pain than just having zero smart bulbs. 

And your app still doesn’t have a dark mode setting? 

We’ll be switching everything as soon as we can.

### 1/5 — Great when it works, less than unhelpful when it doesn’t

*2022-06-01, version 1.26.1*

To start off I think the app is great when it is working, honestly use google integration more than the app itself out of convenience though. The reason for the low rating is for when things aren’t working, cause both the app and customer support are less than unhelpful. There is no documentation for errors (my lights were saying “library error” and “missing MQTT certificate” with no explanation in the app or online for a fix) and customer support didn’t seem to know what the errors meant or how to fix it and just kept telling me to do the same things over and over and over and over again. So if your bulbs never give you issues the app will be great, but be aware if you ever run into any issues the app and customer support will be more frustrating than helpful

**Developer response:** We are really sorry about your experience. We hope our support team was able to help resolve the issue. Please accept our sincere apology.

### 1/5 — Guess it’s time to rip these out

*2022-01-17, version 1.25.0*

I’ve had these bulbs for about 2 years and in the last 6 months, they have somehow made this app so unusable it’s laughable. Past updates have just outright broken the app where you couldn’t change the brightness, colors, etc. Now all of a sudden my lights are gone from the app, and I’m unable to connect them again. Smart pairing can’t find them even if you have your phone right on the stupid things; manual pairing is even worse as your just stuck on a forever spinning circle in the middle of your screen, which you can’t back out of. Save yourself the time, headaches, and money and just get all the Philips Hue products and use their app, it’s cheaper to do that in the long run, then buying these bulbs and not being able to even have them do anything that you paid for them.

**Developer response:** Hello. We are really sorry about your trouble. Did you get in touch with our tech support team for help via WiZ app chat?

### 5/5 — Wiz bulbs

*2023-02-23, version 1.27.0*

I had a terrible time trying to get my Wiz bulbs reconnected to the internet, but finally succeeded tonight. The problem started when our internet went out about a month ago. We ended getting a new modem. But the bulbs were no longer connected to the internet. You have no instructions for what to do in this case. You have videos on how to connect bulbs, but not how to reconnect. I had to figure that out on my own. To do this, I had to add the lights back to each room, and had to pair them once again to the internet, which I did manually. Please make a video for this. I am sure I am not the only one who has experienced this frustration.

### 5/5 — V2 is trash

*2023-01-05, version 1.27.0*

Their new app is absolute dog shhh.  Just from the screenshots alone it looks like it was made for a early 2000s iPod or worst yet a mp3 player. I don’t know who had the artistic liberties in the development of their new app but they should be fired. We love simplicity and clean lines. I don’t want to manage my lights from an app that looks like an app in one of those kids learning laptops, thanks but I’ll stick with this clean and elegant version of your app until you come to your senses.

### 5/5 — great app! + feature request

*2022-11-05, version 1.27.0*

This is a really great, life changing product. The simplicity, precision, customization, and cost-efficiency is second to none. My only feedback is that it would be REALLY great if you could customize the app color background (like the light & dark appearance settings on iPhone, but have it automatically change based on time of day, or sync to the dimmer level). There’s no fun in having your lighting set to a perfect dim mood… then opening the app to make an adjustment and being blinded by the bright white background. Other than that caveat, I highly recommend the Wiz lights & app!

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2022-08-29, version 1.26.1*

I see your adding Dark mode! Thank you! This app rocks and is easy to use and organize! However, most stores in my area (PNW) seem to suddenly stopped selling your Wiz bulbs. Where can we buy more? I have the Wiz - Phillips RGB true colors and they have worked flawlessly for over a year! The colors and intensity is amazing! I can actually make the color brown with them. I believe brown is a very difficult color for RGB LED bulbs to make based on my previous tests with other manufacturers. This is a great app and I hope you keep making more!

### 5/5 — very impressive

*2021-12-09, version 1.24.3*

I don’t usually write reviews unless something is really amiss. In this case, I’m writing because of how thoroughly impressed I am! I love all of the options for customization. I’ve used several ‘smart’ lights over the years, each with their own app, and the quality of those apps is usually pretty bad, which is why this one stands out. It’s intuitive! It doesn’t crash every five seconds! And it’s not a struggle to reconnect to the lights when you want to change their settings. My favorite aspect is that you can choose different light settings depending on how many times you flip a switch. We’ve gone back to the store twice just to get more bulbs to put around the house. The *only* possible improvement I can think of would be having more customizable dynamic lighting options (i.e. if you could pick a few colors for it to cycle through), but that’s a really small thing compared to everything you *can* do.

### 5/5 — My experience with Bluetooth lightbulb.

*2021-05-06, version 1.22.1*

My experience with this Phillips bulb has been really good. I love everything about it especially that you could turn it off at your phone. You can also pick any color you want in the rainbow. Summer more vivid than the other but you always can get great colors. There’s also a lot of moods that is very convenient for different situations. The only thing I would love to have in this bulb is a black light. To make everything white glow like you were in a nightclub. Besides that everything else is perfect about the bulb. Easy set up an easy to used. I love having mine.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-03-15, version 1.21.10*

This is honestly the most amazing lighting I have ever had. My brother got me two light bulbs for Christmas and I love them so much. There is an awesome lighting array and you can save the colors that you like the most. 
I love that they have packets I guess of colors. I think my favorite group of colors is the ocean one. The lights can be super relaxing and the focus setting really helps me focus on my homework. Since I had two I set one up in a lantern in my room and set another one up in the bathroom to mess with my brother when he is showering😂. I don’t have any complaints about these lights and the app. This is the best investment ever. They are easy to set up too!

### 5/5 — Excellent control app

*2021-03-13, version 1.21.10*

Have enjoyed using the Wiz app and seeing the various options for color and schedules. Am still learning, but found the app intuitive and fairly easy to use. Have installed five lights in different areas of the house to add color and mood options. Recently went on a business trip and so turned on the vacation mode for the random on/off lighting function.  Am pleased with Wiz and would recommend as an inexpensive smart lighting option.

### 5/5 — Wiz

*2021-03-11, version 1.21.10*

Really enjoy with certain bought light bulbs that I can create a blue light in my darkened living room a relaxing effect on my SAD ( seasonal affective disorder) as my eyes get over stimulated with bright lights so I do not view hardly anything on blue light devices even though I have specifically made blue block glasses made for it from my Opthamologist that still will not block enough bright light which stimulates me with an Disorder Bipolar.  As I have aged it has only increased.  So I expect to be inside a lot and go outside at early evening for socializing or walking.

### 4/5 — Request more flexibility

*2022-10-23, version 1.26.1*

For the most part, I am enjoying the Wiz app and it’s control over my lighting. I have been using the Wiz app and bulbs in my house for over a year, mostly confined to one room, but I recently expanded to several more rooms. I set up different color scenes for different occasions, moods or times of day, in different rooms. It’s extremely useful having scenes connected through Alexa.

I do wish to see more functionality added to the app though. Mostly through the control of color selection. I would like to be able to establish my own color combinations, e.g. ocean cycles through preset blues, I would like to cycle through colors that I choose. I would also like to see better organization within the scenes tab. I have multiple scenes established for multiple rooms. Scrolling through the list gets cumbersome when using the app searching for a specific room and scene. Maybe be able to collapse a room within the list? I would also like to group multiple rooms into a scene. For example, I would like to be able set a scene across multiple rooms at once.
