## What is WLED Pro?

WLED Pro is a clean, fast controller for lights running WLED firmware: LED strips, lamps, LED matrices, ambient TV backlights and Christmas lights built on ESP32 or ESP8266.

ALL YOUR WLED LIGHTS. IN ONE APP.
WLED Pro finds the WLED lights on your home Wi-Fi automatically and shows them on one Home screen. Give each light its own name and icon: sofa, desk, TV, bed and more.

SIMPLE CONTROL. NOTHING EXTRA.
Power, brightness and color on one clean screen.

EVERY WLED EFFECT. EASY TO FIND.
A visual picker with a preview picture for every animation, plus filters and search by name.

EVERY PALETTE. AT A GLANCE.
Palettes are shown as color previews, so you pick by look.

MAKE YOUR OWN SCENES
Combine an effect, colors, palette, speed and intensity, watch it live on the lamp, save it and play it with one tap.

PLAYLISTS
Play scenes one after another, each for the time you set.

SEGMENTS
Split one strip into zones, switch each zone on or off, and choose which LEDs belong to it.

SETTINGS AND CLASSIC VIEW
Lamp settings are one tap away, and the earlier control screen is still available.

ALSO INCLUDED
Home Screen widgets, schedules and WLED firmware updates right from your iPhone.

Great for room and gaming lights, holiday and outdoor lighting, and DIY pixel LED projects.

WLED Pro needs lights running WLED firmware on the same Wi-Fi network. Lamp controls are a paid unlock, available as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.

### 2/5 — Paywall

*2025-09-19*

Everything locked behind a paywall for something that is open source to install on a esp32. Defeats the purpose of why the developer probably ever made WLED available to the public. Wasn’t able to do anything but turn off and on unless I payed. So no telling how the actual app is.

**Developer response:** This isn’t a fee for WLED itself — it’s free and open source as always. The subscription is basically a donation that supports my work on building a polished app with way more features than the native web version. Everyone’s time has value, even the original WLED project asks for donations — the subscription is just how I keep improving the app.

### 1/5 — As you cow force

*2025-03-16*

Ads pop up constantly, making scanning frustrating.

**Developer response:** Spam. App does not have any ads popup.

### 1/5 — Really strong feeling

*2025-03-16*

OCR recognition barely functions.

**Developer response:** Spam. App does not have any OCR recognition.

### 1/5 — Really strong feeling

*2025-03-16*

OCR recognition doesn’t function correctly.

**Developer response:** Spam. App does not have any OCR recognition function.

### 1/5 — I think it's great

*2025-03-16*

Every scanned docưment cọmes out looking terrible.

**Developer response:** Spam. App does not have any document recognition function.

### 2/5 — Looks good but requires payment

*2024-01-28*

Looks good and understand the costs for dev and to keep running but WLED is an open source project without profits and you shouldn’t be paying

### 5/5 — Offers prompt support

*2024-01-25*

Support is very responsive , they seem to sell some fully assembled lamps for those that are not into building their own.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns about data privacy. Our app does collect some data to improve the user experience, but we ensure that all data is handled securely and in accordance with privacy laws. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know. We value your privacy and want to make sure you feel safe while using our app.

### 1/5 — Poor privacy and locked functionality

*2023-11-29*

Tracking?  No thanks!
Paywall?  Free apps (e.g.WLED Native) do everything and are the standard recommended by Discord community.

### 1/5 — Crashes out immediately

*2023-11-18*

Unable to load.  Logo shows and immediately crashes back to Home Screen.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your patience. Please update the app to the latest version. If you continue to experience any problems, don’t hesitate to let us know. We appreciate your support and understanding. Enjoy using our app!

### 1/5 — Lame

*2023-11-01*

Cost per month and doesn’t do anything the free WLED doesn't already do and the layout is way worse.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We understand that you're comparing our app with the free WLED and have concerns about the cost and layout. We strive to provide unique features and a user-friendly layout in our app. If there are specific features or aspects of the layout that you're not satisfied with, we'd love to hear more so we can improve. We're committed to providing value for the cost and enhancing your experience. Your feedback is valuable to us. Thank you for helping us make our app better.

WLED Pro 2.0 is a full redesign of the control screens.

• New Home screen: every WLED light in one place, each with its own name and icon
• Power, brightness and color on one clean screen
• Visual effect picker with previews, filters and search
• Palettes shown as color previews
• Scene editor with live preview on the lamp
• Playlists and segments

The classic control screen is still available.

### 1.9.92 — 2026-09-22

Bug fixes and performance improvements.
You can now submit a ticket directly within the app to report bugs or suggest new features.
Also, we added a feature to add device via IP.

### 1.9.10 — 2026-03-05

In this update, we worked on the device discovery process.
Nothing loud — but very much to the point.

For users, the changes are barely noticeable.
For the WLED device, though, they make a real difference.
The app now finds the device more reliably, with fewer “wait… where did you go?” moments.

This is a minor update that doesn’t try to impress,
but makes working with the lamp smoother.

### 1.9.9 — 2026-01-15

We fixed a few small bugs that were causing the app to crash from time to time.
Yes — those crashes. They’re gone now.

We also upgraded the Settings with some new under-the-hood magic.
The app can now communicate via WebSocket or HTTP requests — and it automatically chooses the faster and more reliable option for you.

Less thinking for you. More thinking for the app. Everyone wins.

Got ideas or missing features?
Drop us a message via support — we actually read those and work on your requests.

### 1.9.7 — 2025-09-24
