User reviews

LED Hue app offers easy Bluetooth connection and a wide range of preset lighting patterns with vibrant colors. However, users consistently report connection instability, requiring frequent reconnections and location services enabled for pairing. The app lacks advanced customization options and suffers from inaccurate color rendering. Key missing features include the absence of a simple on/off control and timer settings. While the presets and ease of use receive praise, recurring Bluetooth issues and limited app functionality diminish overall user satisfaction.

Pros

Easy to set up and connect to the lights via Bluetooth.
Provides over 100 preset lighting patterns to choose from.
Bright and colorful lighting effects with decent variety.
Works well when connection is stable.
Includes built-in mic sensitivity options for audio reactive patterns.

Cons

Bluetooth connection is frequently unreliable, often failing to reconnect or detect lights.
Lack of customization: cannot create custom patterns or fine-tune colors effectively.
Color accuracy issues, with colors like red and green being swapped or inaccurate.
Requires location services enabled for Bluetooth pairing, which some users find concerning.
No on/off button or timer functionality integrated into the app.

Update: They provided a new controller, which resolved the connection issue. However, now the controller is unresponsive to the app and behaving unpredictably. I'm unsure whether the issue is with the app or the controller again. Currently awaiting support. It's not connecting at this time of this review.

Honestly kind of mixed feelings. The app connects easy enough and reconnects decently fast. My only issues are that it needs your location for Bluetooth? Seems kind of fishy. Other than that though honestly the controls actually suck. There's no indication to what any of the settings mean. The 120 different settings are basically a bunch of different patterns copy and pasted with different colors. It would be nice if we could actually program our own color combinations for different patterns.
