Ton of useful features too. One thing I’d like to see improved is the sideways swiping. I’d like it if we could disable that because its way too easy to accidentally swipe sideways to a different menu, and its even easier to accidentally delete your lights while you’re trying to adjust their brightness. Maybe add an option to disable horizontal swipe gestures? ### 4/5 — Free and good *2026-04-22* I love open source software and use it all the time. Nothing everything needs to have ads and fees. The app functions as it should and I don’t feel as if my privacy is being sold to the highest or even lowest bidder. I use this app to control several LED strips and it works well. My only real issue is the macros for time and scheduling appears not to work. I have followed multiple tutorials and it still doesn’t assign an on off schedule. I have to manually turn my lights off. Unsure if the update broke the function or what?? Other than that it’s great. Thank u for offering free apps for the community! Especially In This economy. I will continue to donate here and there ### 2/5 — In theory good, but not. *2026-03-08* There are many things to like about this app, as you are given a lot of flexibility. However, I am never able to connect to my LEDs. And it doesn’t help that they randomly turn on as well. When that does happen, I can’t turn it off because I can’t connect. ### 4/5 — Slow Start *2025-11-25* Takes a LONG time to get used to but it is a good app. Issued: randomly turns on or off, no true timer or schedule, confusing interface, effects change the set colours What I would like to see: a simple interface with a switch to an advanced interface ### 2/5 — Update- flickering *2025-08-31, version 6.1* I did an update and now my lights will flicker when turned on. No matter what I do they will not stop flickering. ### 4/5 — Schön und einfach aber *2025-06-25* Leider is es mir nicht möglich ein Timer zu setzen. Es Ware schön wenn das mal vereinfacht wird. ### 3/5 — Works, unless it doesn’t.. *2025-06-08, version 6.1* Will work great when it decides to work. Won’t load most of the time though, just vanishes. ### 3/5 — LEDS turn on randomly *2025-04-16, version 6.1* Now, I don’t know if this is the app, my family members, or something else. But the LEDS turn on randomly. Like last night I was trying to sleep and they tuned on. ### 5/5 — LEGEND *2025-01-19* THANKS 🙏🙏🙏🙏 ### 3/5 — Update 0.15.0 *2024-12-16* Massive connectivity and control problems since the new update (0.15.0) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App can’t connect *2026-07-10* I can’t connect this app to my Christmas lights and no support is available to help out. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2026-06-20* Can’t connect to wifi. Waste of time and money do not get ### 1/5 — App was working until version 7 *2026-03-18* Version 7 update broke functionality unable to connect to the controller within the app. I can still access the control via browser. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app and still unable to access or add a controller. **Developer response:** I'm really sorry you're having this issue. Is the issue that the page won't load or that you can't even add the device in the app? I know it's annoying, but could you try re-installing the app? ### 1/5 — 🤔 *2026-03-10, version 6.1* app is not clear on how to use or set up.. github forum is kind of confusing as well. disappointing because i want this app to work in conjunction with the cardputer ### 1/5 — Connectivity issues *2026-01-28* Connected to my device at first, then had issues with needing to be re-paired multiple times. Now not connecting at all… Can I get some help please? 🙏🏼 ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2026-01-18, version 6.1* This app is really setup poorly and not user friendly at all. Would love to see some changes to make it easier to use and more consistent. ### 1/5 — App don’t work *2026-01-05, version 6.1* This app does not work good it’s glitchy and my off and on action don’t even work along with the brightness control very poorly built app ### 1/5 — Don’t have Discover lights option. *2025-07-15, version 6.1* I can’t find discover lights button? How to connect? ### 1/5 — Cont get it to work. *2025-06-11, version 6.1* My iPhone is not connected. I don’t know how to set it up. Please help. ### 1/5 — None of my devices show up *2025-05-14, version 6.1* Nine of my devices show up. Worked on the original wled. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Functionality *2026-07-30* This is the best LED Software on the planet. I have installed this product over 1500 times. The app is advanced for those that like the thrill. But can be dumbed down to any level for beginner use. ### 5/5 — O melhor ❤️❤️❤️ *2026-05-22* Muito bom, consigo controlar várias controladoras por ele e tem muitos efeitos ### 5/5 — Umwerfend *2026-04-07* Eine tolle App, die keine Wünsche für mich offen lässt . Perfekt, vielen Dank! ### 5/5 — Perfekte Erweiterung *2026-03-17* Einfach, intuitiv und übersichtlich. ### 5/5 — Works flawlessly *2026-03-12* This app is perfect as a companion app to access wled devices. ### 5/5 — Does the job *2025-12-03, version 6.1* Hey! This app does the job and it is free! ### 5/5 — Super easy to get running *2025-05-09* The app worked great for me right off the bat. Everything was very intuitive and easy to set up. Updating wled to the latest beta was effortless. It did take me a second to realize I had to mess with some settings to use the dedicated white channel on my led strip. I had to enable the slider for dedicated white in user settings or select an option in the auto-calculate w channel from RGB in LED preferences. This could’ve been better explained. Fortunately Wled project has all the necessary docs where everything is explained. ### 5/5 — Thx a lot *2025-03-24* Thx a lot ### 5/5 — Works for me! *2025-03-12, version 6.1* I have 5 WLED devices and can never remember there IP Address. This is great. Thanks for sharing! ### 5/5 — Кинотеатр *2025-02-07* Вот бы эффект для просмотра фильмов добавить --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
