Ratings and reviews

Their lights are excellent, but the app HMI needs a lot of work. The use of buttons/sliders are just confusing. For example, there's a slider for Auto Sync/Custom Time, but which way is auto or custom? This should be a toggle button. Likewise for the 12/24H and deg F/deg C slider. I would also like to see a widget that shows current light status, such as temperature, the sun/moon sync graph, etc.

I love my OR4 bars. The controller/app..not so much. I understand its aquarium controller/lighting app but the connectivity process for the OR4 is a pain. Nowhere in the app (that I remember) says anything about pushing the reset button on the driver 3 times to sync. I had to find the answer on Reef2Reef. Why on earth is there options for appliances and everything else related to everyday living ? It makes no sense to me.

UI/UX is super bad. icons chosen seem random and you can't really guess what they are for. UI not intuitive. UX wise, the dimmer scroll bar are a pain. the jump from numbers to numbers and the scroll area is too small so it always stops scrolling. difficult to precisely select any number. really low quality white label app based on a bad home automation Chinese app. You can do better Orphek
