User Reviews

Overall, reviewers praise the app’s advanced lighting controls when a stable connection exists, but cite chronic reliability problems: frequent disconnects, crashes, slow loading, and difficult setup. Login/local-network issues and a lack of ongoing updates are common complaints. Some users can achieve good results with direct AP9X/dongle connections, but for many the app undermines the hardware’s potential.

Pros

When it connects, the app provides robust control settings for AP9X lights.
Some users report flawless operation and "works flawlessly" when the network/setup is correct.
Direct connection methods (AP9X or WiFi dongle) can yield the best results, improving reliability.

Cons

Frequent connectivity losses and inability to stay connected; many report having to repeatedly reconnect or re-pair the dongle.
Repeated crashes and instability; reloads often fail or wipe settings.
Difficult, frustrating setup and poor UX; long times to connect and non-intuitive navigation.
Login/access issues, including Google sign-in problems and local-network permission prompts that don't always resolve.
Perceived lack of app updates and ongoing compatibility problems, especially with iOS updates, leaving bugs unfixed.

I would not buy Kessil items

This may be one of the most frustrating apps built to configure IoT devices.

Just add a blue tooth. Constantly times out of WiFi. Just spent 2 hours getting back on after iPhone update. Baffling to me as good a company as Kessil is they let this go on. Just put a $10 k link dongle out there and put Bluetooth on the app. If that’s possible I would think so 🤷🏻‍♂️
