User Reviews

The AP700 hardware delivers strong light output, but the iOS app is buggy and unreliable. Users report frequent connection problems, lost configurations, and difficulty re-syncing after outages. Control options feel limited, with insufficient color/channel precision and rudimentary scheduling that can reset or fail. Despite occasional notes of improvement in updates, the consensus is that the hardware is good but the app and firmware are not dependable, making the overall value questionable.

Pros

AP700 hardware delivers high-quality light when connected
App can manage multiple AP700 lights and keep them in sync when it connects
Some updates have improved iOS app stability/quirks

Cons

Unreliable connectivity and frequent app freezes; loss of saved lamps and difficulty reconnecting
Buggy software/firmware with WiFi issues and crashes
Limited control options in the app (not enough color/channel control)
Scheduling unreliable: lights turn on/off unexpectedly and changes aren\'t saved
High price and perceived poor value given reliability issues

Just make one app for all your lights

by Na*****, 2025-08-06

Just spent hours trying to connect, got two of three lights connected, the other is just not happening. Every time I exit app (bc it freezes) it looses all saved lamps. Which should have already been saved anyway bc that profile was already programmed. Also the one lamp will only “connect” if you continue to hold buttons, when you let go it looses it. Doesn’t matter though bc it freezes last step and erases it anyway. There are no help videos or anything to help you, and the wifi address gets stuck in the phone so you can’t really start from scratch to try again. Buggy and unhelpful it’s more of a “step by step how to connect “ that doesn’t work past the first few steps. Haven’t even gotten to the actual programming of light cycles yet and I’m ready to chunk it all out a window. This is after an electricity outage so totally uncalled for bc it was all working. The app just doesn’t recognize anything any longer.

I notice that on the other lights people can control things like red, blue, white, etc and we just have a color wheel with red and green. it’s kind of irritating and i can’t be precise with the settings like i can with much cheaper lights.
