Alpena LED 4+

NOTICE: The following review is on my experience with the app using the LED Interior Command lighting kit and the lighting kit itself.

The app works as intended and sometimes causes a channel I’m changing to turn off, making me close the app and open it again to fix the problem. I’d also like for there to be a possibility to have more than 4 channels since 4 doesn’t let you do much. I like the “scenes” in the app which are pre-made which makes a channel cycle through different colors, but you unfortunately cannot change the scenes or make your own scenes, yourself. The app is also a little confusing at first, but is easy to use after 10 or so min in the app. I expect that these things should be easy to fix—and I hope that these things are changed, given I paid $100 for my setup—so it would be great if there would be an update addressing these things.

To sum up: there’s a bug that sometimes turns off the channel your changing, there is a limited number of channels, you can’t make your own scenes and the app is difficult for new users to understand right away.

Thank you for reading my review and I hope that Alpena sees this as well.

I’ve only had mine 1 day and I’m already experiencing troubles. I open the app everything is fine... but when I click to open the light setup menu the app continuously crashes so I have to completely restart the app and keep trying till it works. Also I walk away from truck maybe 10-15 feet or open another app or text one of my friends and come back to the app and nothing works. Can’t choose color, can’t turn the lights off, can’t do anything. So again I have completely restart the app and keep trying. Finally like everyone else is saying there’s not enough color choices. This app and lights have potential... just need to work out the kinks.

Overall the app works. I've only had the kit a day so I will update my review in the future if anything changes. So far the led's themselves are good quality however the adhesive would not sticky to anything. Had to use double sided tape to get the lights stuck anywhere on my car. As for the app itself, it works. The grouping feature is nice, the controls work and the colors are bright and accurate. Some requests for the app thogh. The ability to make custom scenes would be great. Also the ability to use my phones mic as an input source to sync the lights to music would be even better.
