Review summary

Many users report difficulties pairing the app with their projector lights via Bluetooth, often encountering failed connections or partial functionality limited to audio only. The app's user interface is criticized as unattractive and misaligned, and it unnecessarily requests location permissions. While the included remote control is convenient, it is often unreliable or lacks full control features. However, when the app does work, it offers various customizable lighting settings and music synchronization. Users note it must be used exclusively without the remote for best results, though many remain frustrated by inconsistent performance.
Pros
  • Works fine when used correctly (e.g., without using the remote simultaneously)
  • Offers various settings and color options to customize lighting
  • Can be synced with music for enhanced experience
  • Remote control can be useful for quick adjustments
  • Some users successfully paired the device after following instructions carefully
Cons
  • Frequently fails to connect or pair with the lighting device via Bluetooth
  • App requires location permission unnecessarily, raising privacy concerns
  • The remote control included is unreliable or limited in functionality
  • User interface is poorly designed, with alignment issues and unattractive visuals
  • App frequently only connects to the audio function but not the device control, rendering control features unusable

App used to work fine, but 2 years later, it won't connect to either of my projectors. Not happy. Would like this to be fixed. I want the full functionality of the lights I paid $20 each for.

Doesn't work. It connects but nothing works to control the light. Cool light though.

The app is terribly ugly, but it works just fine if you follow one rule: Don't use remote and app at the same time. It won't work and frustration will rise. Connect the light to the power source and then use only the app to operate. Then it will work.

After some research on Google I finally got the app and kit working properly and it is great!

I've tried pairing my light over Bluetooth, and then installing this app, as the instructions in the manual suggest, but it still doesn't work. I hear the chime when the Bluetooth connects, but the app just says "Scanning for device" for 5 seconds and proceeds to do nothing.

Never connects to the correct Bluetooth for control, only connects for sound. App request location, but I would not allow because there is no need to know where I am to control a light. Regret buying this light 100%

Only works with location turned on. No other colours usable expect your standard, RGB. Cheap app, for cheap Chinese product.

Absolute garbage. It makes a sound that it's connected, but it's not. Can't use the app and the remote control barely works
