Ratings and reviews

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.

Technically it works... ish... Setting colors works, but routines and schedules don't. Setting color patterns is rudimentary and hidden under the name "create your team". There seems to be no way to save colors, patterns, etc. and reuse them for other bulbs. Bulbs are constantly changing to undesired colors (or white) due to the app seemingly forgetting what state every bulb is in all the time. The bulbs work, it's just the software that sucks. Don't buy unless you dont need any features.
