Ratings and reviews

Very poor experience trying to get the app to recognize the 2 bulbs; half the time I have to "Forget" the device, and I think it's because they insist on knowing the precise location. That should have absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH using the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. I have to reinstall it, enable Location, reconnect, change the color setting, then turn off Location. That holds only until I want to change the color and go through the charade again. Very sus and debilitating experience.

Went from a 4 star app to a 1 star app with one update. Most of the functionality it had has, for whatever reason, been removed. You can group lamps together, but you cannot control them as a group as a group in the same way as before the update. Scheduling appears to be a thing of the past, unless you happen to be the software engineer, or it's an option hidden somewhere in a jumble of pretty confusing and in no way straight forward commands. The lamps are great. Software, not even ok.

Came home last night and all Cree bulbs no longer operational. Tried everything including uninstalling / reinstall app. Nothing fixes it. Already spent too much time trying to fix. Ordered different brand today. These Cree bulbs are getting tossed. Had for only about 6 months. Read that Cree made their money and ran. Sold out to Ideal Lighting. Obviously they aren't too interested in supporting considering all the comments about how unresponsive they are.
