Review summary

Overall, the app is capable and enhances Glowrium hardware with plant database features, light sensing, per-channel color control, scenes, and sunrise/sunset scheduling. Yet reliability is a major issue: timers fail, lights turn on/off randomly, and connections frequently drop. Firmware/update problems lock features and hinder control, with inconsistent temperature readings. The UX suffers from translation problems and non-intuitive navigation, and support is inconsistent. When it works, the app adds real value, but ongoing stability and support problems hinder consistent use.

Pros

Easy to set up and connect quickly.
Rich feature set: plant database, light level measurements, per-channel color control, and customizable scenes.
Effective scheduling and automation: sunrise/sunset timing and multiple on/off points.
Multi-light control with straightforward app usage.
Temperature monitoring is a useful extra feature.

Cons

Unreliable timers and random on/off behavior; often requires manual intervention.
Frequent connectivity and firmware/update issues that can lock features or prevent control.
Poor app UX and localization: unintuitive design, translation problems, and hard-to-use temperature alerts (slider jumps, no typing).
Support is slow or hard to reach with little or no effective assistance.
Some advertised capabilities don’t work (e.g., some zones or data accuracy) and updates can cause features to disappear.

2026-02-27	pj*****	This app comes into its own with the latest smart lamps - a database of plants, the ability to measure light levels and fine tuning of on-off times. These were good lamps without the app, but with the app, they really, er, shine.

2026-02-20	Ba*****	I don’t know if it’s the light or the app but after about two weeks of having both the light is not working on the timer anymore. It’s set in the app, it shows the correct time to turn on and off. Some days i wake up and it’s on and most days it is not. I have to open the app and manually turn it on which means it isn’t starting at the desired time I need it to be on my plants. Fix this bug or I’m returning the light since I just bought it

2025-12-12	Ja*****	I have 3 of the saltwater lights. I had 2 and it worked perfectly. I could connect to both without any issues. Now that I have my 3rd, one is always disconnected from the app and I have to power cycle all the lights for them to all connect.

2025-06-07	Cf*****	App works as I expected, connected super easy. I love the ability to change color channels individually over an app. I like the idea that they’ll add more preset animated scenes in the future. One thing I’d change: Wish I could do more than 7 auto pro timer time points. But it’s hardly an issue, I just have more ideas than what it allows me to do.

2025-05-08	Wi*****	This app is great for controlling your lights, it is straightforward and the connectivity is great. The temperature monitoring is a really nice to have feature but it is lacking in functionality. Setting the temperature alerts is very tricky. You have to move a slider and it doesn’t seem to stay where you want it. I try to set it to 72 degrees and when I release my finger it jumps to 71.8 or 72.2. It would be so much easier if you could type in a value instead.

2025-04-19	to*****	This is truly the most ever aggravating app I have ever used. It only works about 5% of the time. I delete it and re-add it constantly but it still says I need to connect the device to use it and it is already connected!
