User Reviews

Users like the app for its intuitive layout and abundance of music-sync patterns, but reliability is a major problem. Repeated complaints include Bluetooth connectivity failures and pairing instability, crashes/glitches, and updates that disrupt schedules. A common gripe is the lack of customization—no user-created animations or advanced color options. Apple Music integration is also inconsistent. Overall, the app works for some, but stability, customization, and compatibility need significant improvement.

Pros

Intuitive navigation with a wide variety of patterns and music-sync options.
Strong music synchronization capabilities and responsive lighting effects.
Quick and straightforward initial pairing/setup on supported devices.
Generally good performance with low perceived lag for some users.

Cons

Frequent connectivity and Bluetooth pairing issues; the app often won’t connect or recognize devices.
Very limited customization; only preset animations with no user-created patterns or fine-grained color control.
Stability problems including crashes, glitches, and schedules being broken or reset after updates.
Inconsistent Apple Music integration and issues with playing personal iTunes music.

Recent reviews

The lights work and everything but the quality of songs and stuff but just too low. This is really trash only buy it if you really want some light in your room not for music. It ain’t fit for music. I was gonna give it a three but now it’s going down to a tube because what is the music quality first of all and it’s not even recording my voice or how loud this voice is in here only buy it if you wanna light up your room or for a party.

The lantern itself isn’t the problem the app needs updating.
