User Reviews

Overall, the GLI Open Sign app can control the sign when a Bluetooth connection is established, but reliability is a major issue. Many reviews report frequent connectivity failures, DST/time updating problems, and app crashes. There are occasional positive notes about DST sync and quick reconnects when the app works. The main takeaway is inconsistent performance and weak support, with users desiring better time settings (manual/timezone), sign naming, and stability.
Pros
  • The app enables customization of the sign's hours and colors, giving control over the display.
  • Bluetooth connection works when you’re near the sign, allowing quick changes.
  • If you follow the reset steps, reconnection can be fast (about 15 seconds).
  • In some cases DST/time changes sync correctly when you connect with the app.
  • Users appreciate the sign’s hardware and customization capabilities (design/brightness) when the app works.
Cons
  • Frequent Bluetooth pairing/connectivity failures; the sign often doesn’t appear in Nearby Devices or won’t connect.
  • Time and hours management is unreliable, especially with daylight saving changes; no clear manual time/timezone options.
  • App instability: crashes, won’t open, or update button is unresponsive.
  • Poor or unresponsive customer support; updates and fixes appear slow or unavailable.
  • Inability to rename multiple signs or differentiate between signs; users want better organization options and 24-hour mode.

**Bluetooth Security Protocol:** 1. Completely close the GLI Open Sign app 2. Unplug your sign from the back for 30 seconds (leave the power switch ON) 3. Open the GLI Open Sign app and leave it open 4. While the app is open, plug the sign back in 5. Reconnecting should take about 15 seconds 6. **Important**: Do not toggle away from the app during the connection

We have the 1050b from GLI and for the first year or 2 it worked... that is until daylight savings time came and I tried connecting to the sign to update the time. When I opened the app, my sign was not listed on the “nearby device” list. I tried uninstalling the app, I unplugged it and plugged it back in. Still don’t work. I spent $200 on a sign that now turns itself off and on over 2 hours earlier than I want it to. It’s extremely disappointing that Apple allows company’s that don’t back there product to put apps on their store. I've tried contacting the company's customer support which is non existent. Or they just don’t care to respond. I would return the sign before it’s too late.
