Ratings and reviews

The app disconnects from my lights all the time. Sometimes I have to go through connecting my lights every time I want to use them. On that, the connection process is a pain and most times it takes multiple tries to make it work. The lights won't show up, my wifi won't show up, every operation is super slow, and the link to open the app settings takes you to your phone settings. Overall, using my lights is a stressful experience because I'm never sure if they'll be available for my meetings.

I just returned the $130 elgato key light. It's a cool product which is sabatoged by a horrible user interface and experience. I can adjust brightness settings easily on a $20 ring light, but not on this $130 premium offering. Absolutely insane. Stay far away. No way to change the settings except through a backwards wifi connection, which didn't work for me despite hours of trying. What were they thinking?

The Android app setup process is one of the worst I've experienced. When trying to connect it to your home's wifi, it doesn't let you enter the wifi network's name directly. Instead you have to choose the network name from a drop down list. However this list only seems to be populated with a maximum of 10 networks. I live in a high density apartment building, there are easily 30+ networks in range. In order to get my light set up, I had to keep attempting to set it up, hope my network was in the list, and if it wasn't, exit setup and start over. It took me 9 tries before my network was in the drop down list. Additionally, if your network's name is hidden, you wouldn't be able to set up your light at all. Once your light is set up, the app's functionality also is severely lacking. It doesn't have any presets or saved levels for you to save your favorite lighting levels, if you need to change the settings you have to change the temperature and brightness manually every time. Additionally, it doesn't integrate with any smart home systems like Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa, etc.
