User Reviews

Users frequently note that Cree Lighting’s iOS app is unstable and unreliable. The most repeated positives are bright, colorful lighting and some feature capabilities, including Alexa compatibility. Core complaints center on the loss or unreliability of grouping, inconsistent scheduling, ongoing connectivity problems, and bugs introduced by updates. Additionally, there’s a common frustration with the lack of HomeKit/Siri integration and widgets. Overall, lighting quality is praised when it works, but stability and missing integrations are the dominant recurring issues.

Pros

Bright, colorful lighting with good brightness.
Alexa/voice control compatibility.
Feature-rich app with multiple capabilities.
Perceived good value by some users.

Cons

Grouping/scene controls are removed or unreliable (groups gone or hard to use).
Scheduling/automation is inconsistent and unreliable (timers misfire, follow-the-sun not working).
Frequent connectivity issues (devices show as offline, Bluetooth connection problems).
App bugs after updates (login issues, tap-to-run changes, overall instability).
Lack of HomeKit/Siri support and no Lock Screen/Home Screen widgets.

When I bought this bulb this app was like all the other. I don’t need to create an account for a light bulb so they can farm my data. I’ll get a new bulb

by Lo*****, 2026-07-18

I love the lights once they are paired and I can select the exact shade of whitish yellow, as well as the intensity. Pairing to the bulbs that randomly unpair and remembering the password to an app I use once every year or two? Not so much. Takes me 45 mins to get back into the app and pair the bulbs every time. As I write this review I’m on my third round of trying to add the lights to my app so I can change their color back from scalding-my-eyeballs-white. Please make a better app or fix the bluetooth hell that is this system.
