I have the Lumecube 2.0 and was excited to use the app to adjust the light. The light settings are a bit funky, and can get stuck in a few weird states. When I first adjusted the brightness slider I thought maybe the app just didn’t work at all. Sliding from 20% to 100% and back gave no visible changes to the light at all. Turning it on and off with the toggle worked though. Then I slid down to 7 percent and the light changed. I quickly realized that the slider is setting my light to full power at 10%. The whole thing if off by a power of 10. So 5% is actually 50%, 2% is 20% you get the picture. The jump is pretty jagged.It’s a shame I was hoping for finer tune controls.Hopefully the developer see this and fixes the bug in a future update.

I was skeptical at first about this app given other reviews but honestly connecting and using the light through the app is super simple and easy. BUT the big downside is only one light is able to be connected even though the app itself appears to be capable of holding more than one. For example, when connecting a light, there is a screen showing room, labeling the light as “LumeCube1” and a + sign for more lights but no way to connect those lights. If an update can allow more than one light that would make this a 5 star app!

It does lack instructions but I found it easy enough to figure out by trial and error. It is basically another camera app that can talk to Lume cubes. Good for an off camera flash option for iPhone. Slow, though, your subject needs to be prepared to be in the light for about a full second. One nice thing is the ability to drive the cube(s) while setting exposure. What is sorely missing is access to iPhone X features like telephoto camera and portrait mode.

The app syncs with the lights pretty well when flash is firing, that’s pretty impressive. However, unlike the iOS camera app and many other 3rd party camera apps, it doesn’t utilize the volume buttons as physical shutter release. This makes it pretty awkward to take photos if you’re used to your iPhone volume buttons as shutter release and it makes all 3rd party Bluetooth shutter remotes useless since all of them use “volume up/down” to remotely control the shutter on your iPhone camera. I know it’s such a small feature but these little things that people take for granted contribute to the intuitive user experience which this app is lacking so far.
