User Reviews

User reviews largely condemn Yeelight Classic for instability and reliability declines. The top recurring issues are long delays to load or control bulbs, devices vanishing or being hard to reconnect, and constant login/logout that disrupts use. Many feel support is lacking and bugs persist after iOS updates, giving a sense of abandonment. When the app works, basic on/off control is possible, but overall experience is inconsistent and frustrating, prompting some users to switch brands.

Pros

Historically reliable app that worked well for years.
When the app functions, it provides solid basic control over Yeelight bulbs.
Some users note that Alexa voice control can still operate on/off, offering a workaround in limited cases.

Cons

Severe delays and unresponsiveness: loading lights can take minutes, with crashes and lag.
Devices frequently disappear or fail to reconnect; adding new devices and maintaining groups is broken or inconsistent.
Persistent login/logout requirements: users must sign out/in to control lights, and the app often freezes during this process.
Poor or no official support: many bugs appear unaddressed, leading to a perception of abandonment.
Compatibility and stability issues after iOS firmware updates: crashes, slow servers, and limited network/Wi‑Fi compatibility (e.g., WPA2 only, no 5GHz support) hinder setup and use.

Recent reviews

My Yeelight light setup, which I’ve had and loved for years, went from amazing to awful. For some reason, it now takes several minutes for the app to find the bulbs—previously it only took a few seconds. If I close the Yeelight app and reopen it, or if I go to a different app for more than a few minutes and then come back, everything is forgotten again. The app is up to date and my WiFi connection is strong, so I’m not sure what changed. Maybe it’s some classic planned obsolescence to get me to buy new bulbs. So I did…I switched to Phillips Hue and I highly recommend everyone do the same.

No support to the app. Everything is dead now. Logs you out, misses devices, can’t add new devices.. so sad..

The app when i first bought it about 5 years ago worked fine but now it seems everytime the app restarts the only way to connect back to my light i have to log out and log back in and that whole process makes it not even worth it i guess it’s just time to put this bulb to rest and get another brand 🤷🏽‍♂️
