Oelo

This app is way more difficult than it needs to be. When I purchased the lights, I was told the app would be updated soon. It has been over two years. One would expect the app to follow the quality of the lights. 1. The user interface is crude 2. Updating is difficult unless you figure out the magic handshakes 3. There is no preview to view the pattern in action. 4. It seems to have difficulty going over midnight 5. There is no assistance in the app. Namaste 🙏

Let me start out by saying that the lights themselves are better than their competitors. That said this app hasn’t been updated in a year and the app has multiple issues that make it so much harder than it needs to be 1. Really poor interface. Not well thought out at all 2. The app gives you baseline example lighting patterns but they all have motion in them. You cannot edit and delete the motion. You have to create a pattern from scratch and you cannot copy the colors. You can’t even get to a color and see the cymk settings 3. Setting colors is a nightmare. There are three options. A color wheel that is horrible for phone interfaces. A recent colors option which is only for colors you set and not for colors from other patterns. A cymk option where the white element is not independent of the other three options. I tried to set darker purple for example but couldn’t use the slides because of the pegged white slide 4. Setting days to run is backwards. Your only option is every Monday, every Tuesday , and so forth. There are no date options so you have to set it for all days and just remember to turn it off when done Oelo did such a good job with hardware but completely futzed the app. Please Oelo. Please make something better.

Just had my Oelo lights installed. Happy with them, frustrated by the app. It hasn’t given errors or crashed, but is missing obvious functionality. 1) There’s no option to duplicate saved patterns. I love pattern A but I want to change the motion. I have to recreate it from scratch. Which leads to… 2) I can’t copy an existing color. I can’t even tap on an existing color to see where it is on the color wheel or what the RGB code is. Please add these two features to make the app so much easier to use and I’d happily update my review to 5 stars.
