My Chihiros 4+

Let me start by saying most if not all of the Chihiros brand products I've used are incredible. LOVE the lights - from par intensity, to look/finish and light diodes - however, this app is constantly having connectivity issues. Wish the day and time features were more adjustable, and the addition of a select and input value feature would be so nice instead of the click and drag method (Fluval does the same and it's all so annoying and inconsistent). Perhaps allowing users to choose more plot points and intensities for those times wouks be ideal, being able to create custom ramp settings and "siesta periods." Fluval already has this built into their app.

My hopes are the developers can take note and realize implementing a reliable and improved app will surely lock in some great profits and fans of their work/company. So far it's like driving a brand new Mercedes off the lot only to find there's dents and cosmetic issues - it's a beautiful vehicle but not perfect as intended and bothersome.

I’ve been using this app for a few years, now, with the same email. I couldn’t access the app about 20 times over an hour, so I decided to try rebooting the software. Now it keeps saying that my email address is wrong when I even double checked before logging out what it was! I even tried creating a new account and it STILL is telling me the email is wrong!! I really needed to keep my tank light on so I could finish trimming. Now I’m stressed, wondering if the lights will go on at all in the morning.

Like another reviewer said, Chihiros, why do you want to risk your reputation with a disastrous software that doesn’t hold up to the rest of the quality of your products?!? Your competition would stay nervous if you got your act together and majorly revamped your software for the better. Instead, you’ve kept your prices expensive and done nothing about this. There are now other companies with same (arguably better) quality lights for much cheaper. WAKE UP YOUR IT DEPARTMENT or risk losing business!!!!!

Connection consistently drops off when you’re using it, like other reviewers have mentioned, customized curves are very difficult, because it’s drag based instead of being able to point, and type to create smooth curves. Overnight light settings seem to glitch out in the morning I frequently walk in and don’t see my lights on for the morning cycle. I love the light itself quality surprising that the app is so poorly designed and marginally functional. It would be great to be able to connect via Bluetooth on a computer and log into a device webpage somehow.
