Lume-X

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 Lume Cube is probably a good product but instead of offering just a tiny bit more detail in the instructions that come with it, you end up having to go to their website which is almost as confusing. They do a good job of convincing you to download this App which supposedly has you sign in and register your product. Did not work for me - all I have is a photo / video screen with a mysterious blinking logo that doesn’t respond when you click on it. Navigation on their site is poor. Someone needs to go back and finish their Marketing degree.

The app is REALLY holding this product down! - it’s difficult to navigate, which is ironic considering that it only has about three functions. - it’s hard to read (the battery percentage especially). You find yourself wondering if that’s the “light intensity level” on one control screen OR the “battery percentage level” on another control screen? Seriously guys, you’re making a killer profit on these cubes ... spend some of that cash coming up with an app that’s as awe inspiring as the cubes.

There is no walkthrough on how to do anything with this. You download it and it is just a camera app. No menu, no “how to connect”, just a camera app. If you press a button on the cube though it will prompt you to register the cube. Still not sure if I did that right. The auto populated field had a different number than my serial number but it never asked for the serial number so I guess that will be it? Who knows. They need to better control their introduction process. Remember, first impressions are big.

I didn’t even read the instructions yet I opened the box downloaded the app couldn’t find where to register my device until I hit the power button and it registered itself in the same second. Now I have full control over my lights.
