WiZ Connected 4+

I was very skeptical about downloading this app after seeing the assortment of terrible reviews foe this app. I reluctantly decided to make the switch today and…..it was a flawless transition! I don’t miss the old app already. I don’t think anything was wrong with the old app but this one is just better.

My light seen much more responsive and there is way more functionality in this new app. It has features I didn’t even realize I was lacking in the old app. Also (ppl who have lots of bulbs) it transferred all of my settings and rooms from the old app without me having to reconnect a single light bulb (I have 10 by the way). I if you are worried about this, just make sure you have a log in created on the V1 app and then use the same credentials on the V2 app. I would do this before ever downloading and/or opening the V2 app.

In a nutshell I’m excited, in my case, none of the bad reviews were true. I don’t have to invest in another smart light ecosystem and I have a lot more functionality in this new app making things work faster and smoother. Oh and lastly, this app is not difficult to navigate at all. All it takes is a little common sense and exploration.

I got two WiZ lightbulbs at the clearance isle of my local store at $0.99. Now I think I know how they got there. The setup was tedious and took almost an hour as the lightbulbs refused to enter pairing mode. The app itself has some nice features, but they only work 10% of the time, with the bulbs randomly going offline way too often. Every time I try to do something with the light I see the “unknown issue occurred, try again later” message. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. No matter if I want to change light color, mode, turn light on/off, go into settings, anything - there’s always an error message. The app is EXTREMELY poorly built. A lot of the buttons, instructions, graphics, menu items, etc. do not fit onto the screen and are not clickable. I can see a button that I want to press, but I only see the top few pixels of it and can’t click it. Most of the instructions (especially in pairing mode) only showed the first few words, the rest was off-screen, making the already painful pairing process even worse. A lot of the elements that are meant to be centered are all over the place. There are a lot of typos in the app interface. For reference, I’m using an iPhone 13mini, my WiFi is provided by the latest Spectrum modem.
A note to the dev team: if I don’t see significant improvement to the app within the next few months, I’ll be returning the lightbulbs to the clearance isle of my local store - where they belong - and advising everyone else on here to do the same.

After switching from the original WiZ app to V2, we have had nothing but issues. Most annoyingly is that I am the primary Owner. I then go through the steps to create a profile for my wife, share it with her and then everything is good for 2-4 days. Then when I go into the app to turn on or off lights, all my rooms I have setup(which the setup process is impossible at time) then grey out and it tells me that the owner has changed my accessibility or whatever. Go to my wife’s phone to access the app(who is set to owner as well) and then it does the same thing to her. Have to delete both setups on the phones, start the process all over and sometimes when trying to setup the bulbs, it will fail on finding the bulbs for 4-6 hours. I have to wait a day or 2 before WiZ v2 will FINALLY find the bulbs and let me add them back into my rooms. And yes, rooms. I have multiple rooms setup with this app and I have to go through the whole process each time this happens. And why are you guys limiting what settings I am able to set to the 4 quick buttons? I like having Night Light, Day Light and TV Time as easy access and I can only choose 2 of those for the easy access buttons. There is just so much wrong with this app. Please bring back the old app. This one is horrid. Oh and to boot, if you download the old app, that’s still able to be downloaded from the App Store, it just crashes out so you can’t use it.
