You spend three hundred bucks on a cool toy sure to be this hot of your next party, and after you set everything up and turn it on, you find out the WiFi connection on the Hypercube is garbage. I did manage to get it working for a few minutes by moving to a 2.4hz only network which seemed to help. Fine it’s not the worst workaround. But AS I WAS USING THE APP the Hypercube’s wifi lost connection and now the app WILL NOT connect. In my career I’ve been a mobile app tester, network engineer, and a QA tester. I can safely say with all confidence, this app and/or the wifi implementation on the hardware is broken, and this company doesn’t seem to know how to fix it.Maybe their network devs left the company? It shouldn’t matter to consumers since this can be fixed with a few weeks of consulting engineers to fix whatever is broken. The Hypercube itself is nice but without the “control” we were promised in the fancy marketing material, this should be half the price as you are at the mercy of an ever changing set of colors and patterns, most of which are meh.

The app is fantastic. I was disheartened when seeing the reviews for it, loved my hyper cube but thought maybe they skimped on the app and it would be a source of futile frustration to try and use. Waited a few days to even mess with it. But much to my surprise and delight, upon doing so it connected very easily for me, and had a host of useful controls. Everything I could really want is in there. Don’t know what people are so dissatisfied with. The cube is fantastic even without an app, the button lets you do most of what you need to enjoy it. But sometimes it is nice to go in and get a little finicky with it. I actually really appreciate the efficiency of the app, I think it must be very well coded because it opens quickly and you can immediately adjust the brightness or power it off. Or you can go further in and access all of the granular controls. It’s super snappy and very straightforward, not much of a learning curve to speak of. Makes me wish other apps on my phone and elsewhere in life were so well executed, almost everything else I click on requires long loading screens and needs to refresh every time it’s opened, whether I want to or not. This app has zero bloat, and feels just as well fought out as the cube itself. So thank you guys for the quality hardware and software.

Amazing product, highly recommend and have 2 with another on the way. However the app doesn’t let me connect my cube to my wifi. I’ve tried all methods, took the password off router etc to troubleshoot. App only works when directly connecting to cube. Seems to be based on wled. Many options and awesome product that would be perfect if the app worked better and my cube would stay on my wifi!Edit - updated the app. It works flawlessly now. Review based on new update - perfect function, this product is my favorite lighting fixture at home. Can’t wait to see what else these dudes come up with

I use that word for the obvious reason the app is the weak Link in the Hyper Space experience. And since the connection allows you to do everything with the Hyper Space that you would like to do, it kind of defeats the purpose to not be able to connect it. That's why I titled this review "appalling" because it seems appalling to me that anybody would let this slide. I have tried all the updates, but it still comes down to the app not being able to connect with 5G. what's extremely frustrating is that I have seen the option to connect manually, pop up while using the app in an attempt to connect it. but I could count on one hand the amount of times that's happened. none of them have been by choice. They've all occurred through happenstance. Therefore very difficult to repeat because I don't even know how it happened in the first place. This is also compounded by the fact that your selections for the cube are on a timer, when chosen from the box with the blue button. so even if you do land on a setting that you like, it's only gonna last for a very limited time. it's just really awkward and appalling.
