Ratings and reviews

Used these lights for a few seasons with marginal success. I have always managed to get them to work, eventually. A few sets have returned to the store if they didnt work right. My biggest issue is that the app now requires your location to be on. I dont understand why they would require this unless they are tracking you and selling your information to retailers. So i turn the location on then make the changes and turn it back off. I will not purchase any more of these lights. Maybe a competitor

This app is really bad on the Android. Most of the time it just doesn't work at all. I have the 140 Effects. I had it connected via the Bluetooth (LightShow Strings). When I'm in the app, I know it's connected when the Strings icon on top comes on and it shows a number on it. But whatever I do it won't change the Theme or Effects. If you have an Apple IOS, it works a lot better. If your lucky enough to have an iPhone or iPad, try it instead. I hope the AppLights will fix this issue on the Android.

Expensive garbage. First season I left a great defensive review for the nay-sayers. I paid nearly 100 bucks per string or decoration. On a bluetooth scan I pick up my 9 strings/devices. That's 900 bucks-ish. Last year they were frustrating, this year I cant get a reset or the app to recognize. I can see them in a standard bluetooth scan. Poor tech contron/regression testing practices at best. If you are looking for one season use... have at it. Otherwise spend your money elsewhere.
