Godox Light 4+

When first connecting to a phone, the app works well. Intuitive and responsive. But it only connects once. If you ever need to connect a second device, you are out of luck. The Bluetooth will need to be reset on every single light. Maddening. Please fix.

I’m relatively new to the app but pretty impressed so far. I came from the Astera app and must say that though this has less features and customizability it’s much easier to use.

One big thing that is missing is the battery percentage of the lights and the time remaining until the lights power off. If that alone was added it would be enough to make the app really good.

It would be great to have the ability to change the brightness of each light with a slider on the fixture page without clicking into the control page for each light. There are many times where I need to make quick brightness changes between individual lights and clicking into the control page for each light is cumbersome and time consuming. The Astera App did this well with have a brightness page for the brightness levels of app the connected lights.

Once I use the app more l’ll have more specific feedback but so far I think it’s a good app that could be great with some more indicators and customization.

I want to give Godox credit that this app works without any kind of mandatory sign-up for some online account. The setup process is quick and easy, and thereafter, the app, generally, just works. That shouldn’t be rare, but it’s becoming distressingly so. It’s simple. It doesn’t try to be something else. It doesn’t get in my way. It doesn’t, if I recall correctly, pester me to review it. More apps should work this way.

Yes, it’ll disconnect if I turn away from it for a while, forcing me to leave the mode and re-enter it. It’s an inconvenience, but for my needs at least, a minor one.
