Govee Home 4+

Great system but app could be better

First of all, I only came across Govee, I’ve been a long time Philips hue user but I have to say, I’m very impressed with what they have to offer. Maybe I’m only getting used to the app but on the rope light, I feel the settings aren’t very user friendly. I am tech savvy. I’m sure I’ll figure it out but it will take a bit of time I guess. So far my only issue is on the scenes. If I have to edit one lighting scene, I must start adding them into groups? Then it won’t allow me to just add one, I have to go through each category and add more, all this just to reduce the speed. Then, after that when I go back, all the other ones are gone! Look maybe, I’m not used to the Govee app yet but still, if it doesn’t seem easy the first time, please will get turned off. Philips hue app is much easier, cleaner and you can edit each light and each scene with ease. Hopefully this will get better over time as. I will 100% recommend these lights. Have the set up the curtain and hexagon ones now!

WORST UPDATE TO ANY UI.

Do not buy anything from Govee unless you enjoy using one of the most impractical apps for everyday use.

I have been using Govee products since 2019, including upgrading to lights that were quite pricey just a year later as I had seen the interface and how amazing it was. Four years later, govee has managed to turn gold into literal dog feces. Nothing is even remotely similar, all practically has gone out the window being replaced by something that looks like it was designed by someone who has never used the products. This is one of the most thoughtless updates I have ever seen in an app; not everyone who uses your products has a gaming or desk setup worth a trip to the Bahamas. I am regretting buying another set of even better lights- what is the point when they are barely usable? I would recommend staying away from Govee products at all unless they revert back to the previous interface. Even then, the switch to this very much downgraded design has truly proved that govee does not care about the average consumer, only those with intricate setups that are not practical for day to day usage. Honestly, I would not be surprised if that demographic is also disappointed in this update.

TLDR: the app is terrible now for things as simple as turning the light on and off. As someone who has used govee for half a decade, save your money and avoid govee products.

phenomenal products and application

First of all, I'd like to mention that the application could benefit from some improvements in terms of accessibility for most features, except for the seamless integration with your existing devices. It works really well and you definitely get your money's worth with their products. I've seen a fully equipped house with Phillips, Hugh, and this is the next best thing in my opinion. The colors are vibrant, the scene modes are really cool, and there are plenty of options to customize the settings for individual lights or groups. I'm particularly fond of the dreamview function, which allows multiple lights to synchronize with specific circumstances like music playing or my TV backlight, creating a delightful "surround visuals" experience. Moreover, if you take a look at the patch notes and the interaction from the developers and team directly within the app, it's evident that they are constantly working on innovative ways to improve their products and the app itself. I highly recommend committing to their line of products if you need intelligent lighting without being forced to shell out “go fly a kit” kind of money.
