## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's effective Bluetooth control and helpful preset/custom lighting scenes, enhancing their photography experience. However, major issues include the app only controlling one light at a time, persistent background running, intrusive permission requests for location and files, frequent crashes, and forced account creation with mandatory ads. These problems lead to frustration and concerns over privacy and usability, despite the good hardware quality of the lights themselves.

### Pros

- Effective Bluetooth connection to GVM lights for remote control.
- Useful presets and ability to create custom lighting scenes.
- No mandatory ads or account creation initially as per some reviews.
- Can store and restore custom lighting settings easily.
- Physically well-made lights that are enhanced by app control.

### Cons

- App often connects to only one light at a time; switching between multiple lights requires disconnecting first.
- App runs persistently in the background with a non-dismissible notification, causing battery drain.
- Requires excessive permissions such as GPS location and file access, raising privacy concerns.
- App frequently crashes or bugs out when selecting scenes or controlling lights, including showing "null" light names.
- Forced account creation and appearing advertisements frustrate users, deteriorating user experience.
