I purchased several strips of dreamcolor with Alexa capability for my Christmas show. While it’s nice to be able to change the lights via app, it’s frustrating having to change each strip individually as opposed to choosing which ones you’d like to make the same as a group. The grouping feature is pointless as It does nothing other than power on and off the strips. It would be nice to develop a way to change multiple lights at once instead of individually as it is time consuming. It would also be an improvement to see a preview of various light settings before having to set them. Still love the light strips and the settings they do have.

Update: Since my previous review below this function has been added so you can now control any number of sets of lights together using the scene function. This completes the app for me and is now 5 stars. Shout out to Govee for updating their app regularly and not just abandoning it like lots of others do. This app is overall very good and easy to use and set up, however, it lacks one critical function. You can not link multiple bulbs or LED strips so to change colors or anything you have to do each one individually. It’s unnecessarily painful. There is a work around using Alexa routines but still very tedious. I hope the developer reads this and others similar requests as this would be an easy 5 stars if they added this function.

For the love of Christ please fix this. I cannot put into words how annoying and frustrating it is for an app to abruptly begin prompting login requests once a week out of no where. Then when you incorrectly attempt a password that you know is correct you are forced to reset your password. Please fix this, if this was a beta version fine but for a functioning app to ridiculous. Other than that I have no issues using this app. If this issue was fixed I’d say 4.5 stars for overall quality but this login issue is a big issue.

I didn’t care about the colors or modes or any of the fancy things this light bulb could do. I simply wanted a bulb that I could turn off from my iPad without having to get out of bed. It was ok at first even though the app had scaling issues. But, Over the last two updates the scalding issue got worse, Now there are connection issues where it does not even connect to the light unless I put the app in the background and reopen it. I’m about ready to see if I can get a refund since the app developers seem to be consistently making the app for controlling these lights worse. A smart bulb is just a very expensive lightbulb without competent app developers. Fix this app for iPad please!

my wifi enabled lights will just stop being connected to my wifi because the app needs my location. You don’t need my location to work. My lights aren’t moving anywhere they are stuck to the wall. There is no reason to have my location. When using alarms to have the lights turn on it only shows 24 hour clock format. you also have the ability to set the alarm to a certain color and brightness but when it turns on it only uses the previous color and brightness not the one the alarm is set to. Also all light controls should be able to be done over wifi but for some reason it only does it over bluetooth.
