### 1/5 — Lights

*2026-06-19, version 3.3.9*

Was a great set til they won’t connect to my Bluetooth and was told needed a new set only had them for 2 summers really sucks to pay 300 for lights to be put on your motorcycle to have them just turn pale blue and no other color and the sale person says you need new lights so wrong in every point

### 3/5 — Timer

*2024-04-08, version 3.3.1*

Everything works as it should for me, just wish it had a timer, where I could leave them on, and they would shut off at a certain time.

### 3/5 — Music Feature

*2023-05-19, version 3.2.4*

App works fine except when using an iOS device when you select Music feature you get disconnected from Bluetooth.

### 5/5 — CarPlay

*2022-11-20, version 3.1.9*

Please make usable for CarPlay. Would be a lot easier to use on a motorcycle. Thanks

### 1/5 — Fed up of this app and my xkglow lights

*2022-11-05, version 3.1.9*

I purchased multiple xkglow products back in 2018. I complained in 2020 about issues including the addition of “Circle” the social media part. When I open the app I just want to be in the colour picker like it used to be!!  My biggest gripe however, and I’m so sick and tired of this - is every single time there’s an update, it randomly turns on my xkglow lights at the same time as losing my paired controllers from the app. It’s bizarre! This has been a persistent bug for years. I’ll go out to my car one day, lights on, then check my App Store and sure enough there was an update overnight (since my apps auto update when charging - as intended by Apple). Every single time!!!!

I spent nearly $1000 and honestly wish I’d used a different brand now, I was torn between these and TRS (the retrofit source) and feel like I went with the wrong option.

### 5/5 — Heart app! Missing random color selection

*2022-09-21, version 3.1.7*

Good app!
Lost of color patterns and etc.
But honestly I would like it to randomly switch colors to any color.. not just 7-9 presets. 
Let it actually show its capabilities of displaying thousands of colors…

Can I chip in for this update?)

### 5/5 — The best

*2022-07-18, version 3.1.5*

I have experimented with most of the automotive LED controller systems on the market.  XK is by far the best equipment!  Love their products!!!

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2022-03-22, version 3.1.2*

Professional looking app. I’m impressed with the responsiveness and the organization of the features and social circle feature.

Could the developer please make this CarPlay compatible so I can control my LEDs from my aftermarket head unit??

### 4/5 — Great product

*2021-12-12, version 3.0.4*

Great app … one request, could you allow the speed on “speed sensitivity” to be set lower? These would be WAY more popular with the electric scooter crowd. I use them on a KingSong S18 EUC. It’s mac speed is 30mph

### 4/5 — Love but big bug issue

*2021-09-22, version 2.6.6*

Love this app unfortunately you clearly have an issue with I attempted to turn my underglows on and the app tells me I need to update my app so ok kool go to update my app and my App Store shows no updates needed so after uninstalling and reinstalling it still shows I need an update once again my App Store shows no updates needed so if you could shed some light on this I would appreciate it
