The app works, but certain things don’t function like I think they should. A couple of things:- connecting to the lights can be tricky. You MUST switch your phone’s WiFi connection to 2.4 ghz, even if your router offers 2.4ghz and 5ghz, your phone must be connected to only 2.4.- the dimmer doesn’t work until you let go of the slider. Other light apps show the dimmer setting real time as it’s being adjusted. - dimmer only works on certain colors and color combinations. For example, the dimmer bar disappears when I have bi-color orange and purple selected, but shows up again when I have other color combinations selected. Bi color orange and purple goes right back to 100% intensity.- Unable to choose custom bi- and tri-color schema. The app only allows you to select pre-set bi- and tri-color schemes.These aren’t deal breakers, necessarily, but I hope the developers read this because the product is almost there. Just need a few tweaks and it could be 4 or 5 stars.

We purchased 6 sets for our front trees for year round accent lighting and holiday lighting. We had trouble getting 1 to connect but after many times trying my husband got it connected. They all worked fine for 3 weeks until our wifi went out one evening and a strand reprogrammed to a random setting. We thought 1 out of 6 ok we will just take that one down. Now another is unresponsive and changed to a different setting. So disappointed that they are as expensive as they are but not holding up or staying connected to our wifi like we had hoped.

It comes with several preset color schemes, but if you want to pick your own colors, there are fewer options for what you can do with them. Also, picking you own colors sets two lights at a time. So I wanted blue-white-yellow-blue-white-yellow and instead it creates blue-blue-white-white-yellow-yellow. And I want to play one customized scheme after the other, which it also doesn’t do. Fine if you just want the preset options.

When I first got it, I thought it would be bad due to bad reviews, but it has everything I would have wanted in lights and more! You can choose patterns, colors, and where each color goes! You can also mix and match colors! I don’t understand why it has such bad reviews, because I personally think it is awesome!
