Recent reviews

A recent update fixed the app crashes I was having, which is nice. The functionality is still a bit shaky though. I've got 2 bulbs, one for opposite sides of the room. Pairing them to my phone and grouping them in the app was sine enough. But I'll lose connection to either one randomly, dunno if kit's due to both bulbs being the same model and thus confusing the app? Who knows... All I can say is, everything is now working, but just getting by. Functionality definitely needs more polish.

I FIGURED IT OUT for my device at least. I have a galaxy s9 and i was having the same trouble as everyone else, bulb not connecting or being detected in app. What you have to do is enable EVERY permission in the app settings, which include phone, microphone, and storage. This app is straight up spyware, and i pity anyone who bought this thing without knowing that first. I suggest using an old phone you have lying around as a remote, so youre not being constantly tracked by god-knows-what.
