Twinkly

One thing is for sure, Twinkly lights updated our Christmas tree to 2.0 😃 It is really magical and nothing even comes close (definitely buying another 250 set next year for the bigger tree). Now onto the bad things. App is, well, not great, not terrible😉 The layout is quite unintuitive and effect “store” is very buggy. But what I find most lacking is the ability to use Homekit or Alexa or to at least be able to turn lights on/off remotely. I also wasn’t able to get microphone to work (I have a new version), it works great in preview, but after selecting an effect there is no longer mic function available. Hopefully, the above will be added/fixed until next year💪

When spending the amount of money on the Twinkly tree, I was more skeptical on the actual tree rather than what it can do however, I was pleasantly surprised on how full and beautiful the tree is and it’s only 7.5 feet! I can only imagine how the 9 foot tree looks! The app works with the lights in the tree and I’m sorry others are having problems... my tree and lights are perfect! Quick set up and quick WiFi set up as well! The only thing that was time consuming was the fluffing of the tree branches, after that, everything was quick and easy! You have to play with your unit to learn how to create your own design and make the lights dance to your music, you can also just activate the sequences patterns and add music which looks like the lights are in sync with the music you play. The best tree ever! Can’t wait to add Twinkly lights all over my home, indoor and outdoor! Also can’t wait for future Twinkly products! Awesome product!

Spent a fortune on a new tree. The lights operated their preprogrammed operations but the tree would never even see the Twinkly WiFi. So, we reset the unit per the directions. After that, the tree wouldn’t operate properly at all, even the preprogrammed operations. We returned the tree and got another. Had the exact same problem. Finally, after trying EVERYTHING, we found that the tree would only work (and it worked perfectly) only after shutting down ALL WiFi in our home!!! We tried stepping down from 5G to 2.5 (I believe). That allowed us to finally see the Twinkly app but not connect. Obviously, having a fancy tree but not being able to have ANY WiFi in the house is not acceptable. I’m still waiting on an email from tech support of Twinkly to see if they can resolve this, but it’s looking like this tree is going back for a refund and I won’t be buying ANYTHING Twinkly again. This sort of interference should have been accounted for prior to pushing out the product.

I’ll admit...we were a little skeptical when we purchased these lights. We were fully expecting them to work of course, but not really expecting a WOW factor. When we strung the lights around the tree and downloaded the app, we crossed our fingers and hoped for the best. We are absolutely speechless! The quality, the colors, the brightness, the customizations...it’s far beyond what we ever hoped for. The technology is awesome! Our friends and family have raves about our tree and we continue to love the lights just as much as the first night. We treat ourselves to a new look/effect most every day. How cool is it to have a whole new look of color scheme whenever you want?? It’s amazing! Kudos Twinkly! We look forward to purchasing more strands soon!

We just love it. My kids are creating new patterns, my wife loves that she can make the lights more muted and traditional while the rest of us play with “color explosion”. Everyone gets what they want :) It has been so much fun and the tree itself is pre-wired really well with the connectors in the trunk itself! Just plug and play... literally. Only annoying part was opening up the branches as any other artificial tree. Twinkly: for gen3 find a way to make it easier to fluff the tree up! Overall, this is a next generation tree with upgraded LEDs, upgraded control schemes, upgraded wire harness and connectors, even an upgraded tree stand. We love it and hope it has the quality to stick with us for years to come.
