Ratings and reviews

Clunky registration process with some amateur errors (e.g. "This does not look like an email" error, when the field has a trailing whitespace). Forced account registration and app non-functional without signing in. App is non-functional for bluetooth connection to the light without location permissions, for reasons the app fails to explain (location permission is *not* necessary to establish a bluetooth connection to a device when targeting Android 12+, API level 31+). All this for a lightbulb!

Amateurish experience. Whoever developed this app should be fired. There are no basic quality of life features like a simple landscape or fullscreen mode. In 2025 we're colonizing Mars, but here we have an app that doesn't have BASIC responsive design.. Hence if using on a foldable phone or tablet, you cannot even control the colors because the menu is cutoff at the bottom. This looks like a 9th grade school project. On Windows PC the experience is the same.

I think the app is great, but please update with the ability to increase/decrease intensity by 0.1% via a button of some sort like in the sidus link app. The slider alone makes it difficult to do very minor tweaks, and there are many DPs that really do want to see what 0.3% more/less looks like.
