Review summary

Users find the Show Lights app easy to use with a variety of color and pattern options, including timers and remote-control convenience. However, many struggle with frequent connectivity problems, requiring Bluetooth and location services enabled but without clear instructions. The app lacks in-app help or support resources. Color choices are limited, and users often need to restart devices or toggle settings multiple times to get it working. Overall, while functional when connected, connectivity and usability issues significantly affect user experience.

Pros

Easy to use with simple operation.
Allows control of up to 4 different colors and mix of those colors.
Includes various light patterns such as STEADY, SPARKLE, GLIMMER, FADE, CANDLE, FIREWORKS, SURGE, and SHOW.
Has a timer option ranging from 2 to 8 hours.
No need for a separate remote control; can be controlled via the app.

Cons

Frequent connectivity issues; app often fails to connect or pair with the lights.
Requires Bluetooth and location services to be on for successful connection, but instructions or guidance for this are lacking.
No in-app instructions or help information; user support is minimal or absent.
Limited color options (only 4 colors, no full spectrum).
App stability issues requiring device restart and toggling Bluetooth/Location multiple times.

2019-12-20	A *****	I would give it a zero stars if I could. The app does not connect, there is no menu options on the app, and no assistance options in the play store site with the exception of an e- mail address.

2019-10-25	A *****	2017 review: Same issues as everyone else. Won't connect, zero information online. ......EDIT: 2 years later and I've finally gotten it to work. The trick was turning on location, Bluetooth, then turning my phone off and on. Been nice if they'd say that or give ANY friggin info at all.
