Review summary

Multiple reviews show a mixed experience: basic device pairing and lighting control work, but the app is plagued by a confusing UI and many broken features. Common complaints include greyed-out device controls, limited color precision and animation customization, and crashes or glitches (e.g., music mode, startup mode, post-update instability). Users want more customization options, more reliable performance, and an easier, more intuitive interface. A portion of users report the app works fine for them, but overall there is a pattern of feature gaps and stability issues.

Pros

The app connects to the car lighting hardware and supports basic lighting control.
Once you learn the UI, navigation becomes straightforward.
Several users report the app generally functions as intended and works well for basic use.

Cons

The UI is clunky and confusing; navigation is not intuitive.
Many features are buggy or non-functional, such as the DIY section, startup mode, and music mode.
Connectivity controls can be inconsistent, with the Connect Device option greyed out and color control limited (footwell lighting not available).
Color/animation controls are limited: no exact RGB, no ability to create/edit animations, and only a few favorites slots.
Stability issues persist, including crashes and glitches (especially after iOS updates).

2026-01-05	CJ*****	You cannot select an exact numerical RGB value , to create your perfect color. Just have to press your fat fingers on that rainbow box… and the max saturation is all top of the rainbow box, and if part of your finger goes outside that box, if deselects your color selection , meaning you cannot hold and drag your finger to select a max saturation color. Very very poor.

2024-11-15	Cr*****	The UI is a bit confusing, but after playing with it for a bit, you will get the hang of it. I would like to see more customization options. You are pretty much stuck with the animations the app comes with, there is no option to create your own animations or edit or alter existing ones.

2024-10-18	Je*****	Overall, the apps works as intended, the UI is a bit confusing but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty easy to navigate. A few things I’d like to see with future upgrades would be: -Lower brightness minimum because some presets are way too bright even when on lowest brightness especially during night time driving -More slots for Favorite animations, 5 is just too low compared to the 100+ animations -Time feature where it changes color preset and brightness depending on what time of day it is -Custom animation creator
