HomeBrite for Negative User Reviews
✓ Same problem as everyone elseMy app cannot find the mesh now I'm like every other sucker stuck with an expensive lightbulb thanks feit.Version: 1.0.6
✓ GarbageNever spending any $$$ with this company on their products again. Gladly returning this crap product.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Still can't find bubbleStill can't find any bubble with IOS10.Version: 1.0.6
✓ NopeApp does not work at all. Crashes if you do anything..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Zero stars! DON’T UPDATE!Not only does the app not work correctly. The new update isn’t configured properly in landscape OR portrait view. And you DO NOT need my email or cell number for a light bulb application. Zero stars for that reason alone. Going back to the previous version even though it’s not great, much more reliable..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Keeps crashing does not workI was very excited to get this home and be able to use it downloaded the app and the app keeps crashing it will not even let me set it up hopefully we will get updates or this will be getting returned.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Annoying more than convenientMy bulbs worked maybe 70% of the time when they worked. Now they either constantly blink bc the mesh can’t find a connection, or I forgo the app. Another issue I had was using the app to turn the light off, but then it would automatically turn back on so I had to use the light switch. I’ve had my bulbs less than a year. The amount of annoyance they cause is greater than convenience. Its like a torture tactic at this point, my living room light blinks every 20 seconds but the mesh will not connect. I hoped it would work fine and the negative reviewers just weren’t tech savvy. I am tech savvy and this is just junk..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Groups Functionality BrokenFor turning off individual lightbulbs this works just fine. But the groups functionality is broken. Whenever I turn off lights as groups they randomly turn back on later. And also when I turn lights on and off as groups the schedule functionality also breaks. Forcing me to reset each lightbulb in that group. If you are going t use this app. Only use the individual light bulb menu option and not groups..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Won't Pair at ALLI don't know if it's the new update or my iPhone 7 which I just upgraded to but for whatever reason I cannot pair my bulbs to my iPhone for the life of me. It's extremely frustrating because it was working beautifully before and support isn't at all helpful. All you get is an automated generic reply of solutions that any human being with basic problem solving skills would've obviously attempted. And it's even more frustrating and insulting that for the price of each bulb you'd think they'd have an actual human being attempt at resolving your problem. Very disappointed since I literally changed all 9 of my lights to these Bluetooth bulbs which aren't worth anything now. WOMP WOMP, I would recommend buying a bulb from a company that has an actual support team to resolve at the very least foreseeable issues..Version: 1.0.6
✓ BadThe bulb doesn’t connect anymore, unreliable connectivity at its best.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Does not work withDoes not work with IOS 13 . I think this may get worse! It did the company informs me they have no plans to upgrade their software. If you haven’t bought any of the Bluetooth bulbs with a ten year lifespan stop now the support is not available. That also gives pause if you consider any purchase of their newer model equipment they apparently give up on support after a few years. They did suggests I use an old phone to control the bulbs very thoughtful to have me charge and keep up with an old outdated device to control their equipment they no longer support. In short if you read this before buying any of their equipment it is surely a buyer beware situation at best. At this point I would call the reputation of them ‘shot’ good luck with your purchase and if you haven’t I may have saved you considerable bucks. Can you leave negative stars..Version: 2.1.0
✓ App crashes on every actionRight from installation this software crashes constantly. you cant even use it. Don’t waste your time..Version: 2.1.0
✓ App shuts down. I can’t shut off the lights now.The app worked well for quite a while. But for the last few weeks the app will suddenly close when i try to select my bulbs or sign in. The only way I can shut off the lights is to use my old iphone which is quite annoying. I don’t know if this is an iphone 11 issue or an app issue but something should be done to fix it..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Will not buy again!!!I bought 2 at Home Depot for a great price (get what you pay for I guess) and the first one set up and connected great, although the app has randomly changed some of my settings???? The 2nd bulb the app will not even recognized!!!! Reading the other reviews people are saying that you can only control 1 bulb per device...than why does the app have groups and show it controlling multiple rooms and bulbs??? I’d rather spend more $ and get a product that actually works!!!! I’m returning the second bulb today, I’ll just have to use the 1st one as I installed it a few weeks prior to trying the second and do not have the packaging anymore!!! Don’t waste you hard earned cash folks!!!!.Version: 2.0.0
✓ App does not launch. Bulbs are useless withoutApp does not work rendering bulbs useless..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Add me to the list of suckersWell now I know why these were on clearance at Canadian Tire. Will NOT connect to my Bluetooth or app. Worst part is they don’t even turn on as default. Could handle it if I couldn’t dim or turn off/on with the app...but won’t even function as a regular light bulb for facks sake. NEVER buying anything from HomeBright again. 💀.Version: 2.1.0
✓ App crashesLight turned on by itself and when I try to open the App to turn it off the App crashes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but doesn’t work. The App support link takes me to “page not found”. Wish I had read reviews before buying..Version: 2.1.0
✓ UselessCannot even add any devices to App. Every time you click on anything it just closes the app. It is just a light bulb now..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Broken to piecesSo disappointed I have to create and register to use the app. Next issue... can’t even register as the app crashes as soon as you try to type in any of the blank fields. So blank it doesn’t even tell you what info to put in. App only gets a 1star because you can’t leave a zero or negative number rating..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Update app for newer iPhones newer the iPhone 6PleaseI have several of these home bright bulbs and they only work on iPhones six and older please update this app for a newer iPhones 7 and up. These bulbs are sold at hone depot and I’m sure there are many many people having this problem with the app. People get new iPhones every two years you need to update this app to keep people buying your bulbs you would think someone there thought I’d this already. Last comment on here is over a year ago and no updates yet please do the right thing for us people.Version: 2.1.0
✓ CrapLightbulb ignores the schedule. Just buy a regular led bulb instead..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Disappointing "smart" bulb 😞I was very excited to set this up in my room for dimming the lights, automatic shut off, controlling the bulb myself, etc. HOWEVER, from the very beginning I've had issues with pairing the bulb to my iPhone, and despite getting a different phone over the course of time (and keeping up with updates), this bulb still won't cooperate. Now it won't pair at all and is basically a super expensive regular light bulb. I'm very disappointed and won't be buying this type of smart bulb in the future; my money and time will be invested in other brands. The user interface of the app could have had more options and customization choices and I would have liked to have seen more updates released, but other than that, I do not have any major problems with the app. It's simple enough for most age groups to use (a pro or a con, depending on how you look at it), but that makes me wonder if the pairing issue is with the bulbs themselves or the app/pairing firmware. Regardless, I strongly advise future buyers to consider reviews from here and elsewhere before making any large investments in this brand of smart bulb..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Do not buy their productsI bought a light bulb and it worked for a while with the app for dimming but now no longer does. The app no longer works so the bulb just works like a regular bulb. Complete waste of money. They clearly don’t support their products anymore..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Horrible bait and switchI bought this lightbulb and started using the application three months ago. It was OK. Not great. But it did allow me to set a timer for the light, and turn it off and on from my phone as long as I was within Bluetooth range. Today I open the app to turn on the light and discovered that I’m required to give them my email address and/or my phone number in order to use the app and thus make the light at all useful. That’s horrible. I gave you my money, you give me a light with additional features. Now I have to give you my email address and/or my phone number? You’re not getting it..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Does not workThe app is not working. It closes when you tap. Really frustrated.?.Version: 2.1.0
✓ App now crashes at login screen on iPhone 8I am hugely reliant on this app! I have a whole set up and today the app crashed at the login screen on my iPhone 8! I reset everything and downloaded the app on an iPhone 6 that belongs to a relative. I got it to work but I still can’t login on my iPhone 8. Hoped you can fix the bug.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Not ready for prime time.Neat idea but not ready for prime time. Bought two and loved them. Bought five more... now hate the whole thing. Very slow to program. Freezes often...then have to remove app and reload! Ahhhhg! Have HUE in my other house. Works better..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Thumbs downSee previous comment. Spot on. It’s an expensive LED bulb. The app is unreliable. If I could give it “0” stars I would..Version: 2.1.0
✓ HorribleApp doesn’t even let you register.Version: 2.1.0
✓ WORST PRODUCT EVERMy first problem arose when I couldn’t get any of the products to connect to Wi-Fi not only did it do they not connect to Wi-Fi there is no option to connect through Bluetooth and there is no option to connect through any other means which leave the disappointing truth that none of these products work I bought three bulbs not one has connected I’m extremely disappointed. I troubleshoot it for hours looked up the company online to see what the problem is was told that I needed to download a new app so I did and the app crashed every time you opened it so no possible way to ever connect these products to Wi-Fi. NEVER BUY FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Total Waste of TimeUnsupported and unable to connect to device because App Crashes 100% of the time..Version: 2.1.0
✓ No longer workingTrying to reprogram my light and now the app won’t work. Broken link on the support page..Version: 2.1.0
✓ App is buggy, but it worksI bought the lightbulb and I was excited to have Bt control of that bulb. I downloaded the app and the app worked and I was able to use it. When I opened the app again I got a message "searching for mesh" and then "Sorry, mesh not found". I contacted the developer on tweeter and I got a response. But when I opened the app again, it worked. It ONLY works if there are light bulbs on. The app gets confused if it opens and the bulbs are not on. It needs some more work..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Doesn’t workI can’t do anything on the app it just crashes.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Not workingThe app keeps crashing. It stopped working one day, and it looks like there’s no fix..Version: 2.1.0
✓ GlitchyI’ve had my lightbulb for a few years now and love that I can control my lamp by my bedside with my phone, since the switch would require me to get out of bed (lazy I know) however, sometimes the lamp randomly turns on by itself and I have no clue why. My biggest issue ever since my iPhone has updated to the newest software, the app crashes every time I try to open it. Is there a fix coming soon Bc I really need this app to work again with my lightbulb..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Ehh...I’ve been using these bulbs for over a year... They worked fine initially. I was completely satisfied with my purchase; but recently, I’ve been waking up to my lights unexpectedly being turned on during the night. The bulbs themselves work fine; my true complaint is with the software within the app. I CONSTANTLY have to reset my bulbs and the majority of the time I have the “no mesh was found” alert when trying to simply turn on/off the lights. I have to “retry” to connect to the “mesh” a few times before I get a successful outcome. Overall... for the price of the bulbs and the free app; I got what I paid for BUT as soon as these kick the bucket I’m definitely going with the pricer system if it means consistency in operation. I usually get frustrated with the process and end up just flipping the switch manually..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Works for on/off but app crashes if I try anything else!So far the bulbs and app work for on/off - that’s it (except for the random on with no input from me, but thats rare.) The problem is trying to do anything else with the app, (and sometimes even just on/off) - the app crashes. So frustrating! I was hoping to find a way to add the bulbs to Apple home, or simply update the firmware - but the app crashes before I can even get into settings! I won’t be buying any more of these bulbs. I’ve converted the rest of my house to Lutron Caseta (LOVE!!) and am now kicking myself for wasting my time with these bulbs and antiquated app..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Hard to find any worse than FeitLike other folks say, Both bulbs and app are not working properly. In the past two years, it never worked properly. Not even ONCE! so I contacted Feit electronics customer support, but they only said “you have to contract retailer/store where you purchased, bring the product and receipt”. Who the heck would keep receipt for bulbs?? It’s not PC, only bulbs! What a joke Company... asked also said it doesn’t work because I’m using iPhone XS. I was told to use iPhone 5 or older.. who would have such an old phone? Useless customer support guys. Wonder if they’re sober....Version: 2.1.0
✓ Won't Pair New BulbsSo, I purchased one and was happy with it so I decided to do as advertised and buy more to set up a group and it won't recognize other bulbs. I've returned them twice and it still won't work. This is a failed product. DO NOT PURCHASE. Also, their customer service has minimal hours and the package comes with no English instructions. TERRIBLE PRODUCT. TERRIBLE COMPANY..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Terrible app, won't connect to lightbulbWorked fine for a couple months, but as soon as I added a schedule to my bulb, the interface got clunkier and connectivity became more sporadic. Eventually the app couldn't detect any mesh, and now I'm just stuck with an overpriced led lightbulb..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Useless Product!The app crashes on launching it from either iPhone or iPad rendering the product useless. Don’t waste your money..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Worked for a few weeksBought a bulb and it worked so I went to buy four more for my bedroom and they all worked well for a week or so then they started flickering randomly when I opened the app and then they all stopped connecting all together. After months they still won't connect when I try to use them. Feit has useless customer service that gives generic answers. They work fine as regular bulbs I guess even though they flicker for like the first half second they turn on. Just ended up spending more on Phillips Hue and being extremely happy with that. Don't buy the cheaper crappier option. Just go with Hue and not waste your money completely like I did..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Can't find bulb.It's just an ordinary light bulb as it doesn't pair with the app..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Not a Smart app or bulbThe bulb and app worked great, although it took a call into customer support to get the app to connect with the app that involved turning switches off and in after so many seconds (that info is not included anywhere). Once it finally connected, I was able to establish a schedule so the light would come on around sunset (using sunset is not an option like on other smart bulbs I have). However, when I went to change the schedule around daylight savings I couldn’t access any item on the menu. The app would just close. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app to no avail. Customer support was not helpful and then I was put on hold for an engineer but she waited long enough that they all went home for the day. For awhile I could at least turn the bulb on and off and set a time from my phone. But no the app won’t recognize anything or connect and just keeps closing before anything connects. Very frustrating and not very “smart” at all. Still waiting for someone to return my call and email but I’m not hopeful. Guess it’s just money down the drain. I’ll look for another solution..Version: 2.1.0
✓ App is completely non-functionalYou really get what you pay for. I bought one of these bulbs off the clearance rack at Ace and now I know why it was there. Open the app, click or touch ANYTHING and it immediately crashes. Seems this is just how it is, based on the other reviews. I guess I’ll count myself lucky that my bulb at least lights up, so my security light will work until I have a chance to get the extension ladder back up there to change it out. Just take it off the App Store if you’re not going to back it anymore..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Worked, for a whileWe often travel so I was wanting a system that would turn the lights on and off throughout the day and night while we were not home. I bought one Homebrite Smart LED Bulb to try it out. When it worked as advertised I was so impressed I went out and purchased two more. I had lights scheduled to come on and go off at many intervals in 3 different rooms. We went out of town and my neighbor told me that my lights worked great. I was a happy customer, but then decided I needed to change the schedule on a couple of the lamps. I don't know what happened but something happened to the mesh and now all my bulbs are undiscoverable. I have deleted and re-installed the app hoping that would solve my problem. It has not. My lights will not come on and go off with my phone or on a schedule. What I'm going to do when I go out of town is just turn them all on at the switch and let them burn 24 hours a day while I'm gone hoping that they will eventually burn out. I don't feel bad throwing out a light bulb that has burnt out. I can't bring myself to throw away an expensive lightbulb that still lights. Oh well, at least I only bought 3 and they worked for a couple of weeks..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Well I tried...I bought two of the bulbs for this system to replace some normal bulbs in my bedroom. I was thinking of using the scheduling feature to supplement my alarm clock by having it turn on the lights when the alarm was supposed to go off. However, once installed, one of the two bulbs I bought just wouldn't turn off (when turned off through the app the bulb would flicker off for a second then come on full again). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, resetting the app through the settings menu, hard resetting the bulbs together, hard resetting the bulbs separately, connecting the bulbs separately after hard resetting the bulbs, and a few other method of attempting to get the second bulb to work. Spoilers... it never worked and I will be returning the one bulb and exchanging it for another one to see if it was just a bad bulb. But, judging by the sheer volume of negative comments it might be a firmware/app problem. Either that or they have such horrible quality control that one in every three or so bulbs is faulty... just a thought. Buy theses bulbs with extreme caution as they will probably not work as you are expecting them to....Version: 1.0.6
✓ Do not buy!I needed a light that wasn’t too expensive and would get the job done. This light wasn’t too expensive but it definitely did NOT get the job done. I loved and needed a lightbulb that would turn on on a schedule as I get home late some nights and hate coming home to a dark home and I hate that my dog is sitting at home in the dark as well so thought that this light would be perfect because you can schedule it to turn on/off etc whenever you want. I was shocked and happy that I got it to work but it didn’t work for long (like a week). Sometimes it wouldn’t go on as scheduled or it would not turn on and not turn off with the app. So I just turned on the light myself. And figured I just wasted money. After that, there was an app update that I thought it might help. But it did not. The light still doesn’t connect to the app. I even tried trouble shooting like the website suggested. I still cannot get the light to connect with the app no matter how hard I tried! Save your money and buy a more reliable one that actually works!.Version: 2.1.0
✓ APP CRUSHES EVERY TIME!App crushes on 2 iPhones, couldn’t even get through to connecting to bulbs. Bulbs not bright, not soft white as it said on the box. Definitely taking it back to the store..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Worked great for yearsI bought two bulbs many years ago. Power outages caused problems and there were occasional glitches where one of the two bulbs would stay on but I was always able to resolve the problem. I have never had to replace the bulbs even though they are set for approximately 6 hours per day. Then last week Hurricane Zeta came through and power was out for two days. The bulbs came ob but did not go off. When I tried to open the app it wouldn’t open. It just opens briefly for a second and then closes. I uninstalled and reinstalled but the same thing happened. Tried to chat with customer service but after I typed my question it said no one was available so now I’m waiting for an email. Based on the other reviews I don’t hold out much hope for a resolution so I’ll be researching other bulbs. I actually wanted to buy more but never could find them again. I’m glad I didn’t..Version: 2.1.0
✓ App suddenly stopped workingI was happy with my HomeBrite bulb, but then the app all of a sudden stopped opening. Looked at the reviews, and I am giving up hope on it working with my phone again. 😕 If you make the mistake of buying one of these bulbs, it isn’t the worst thing. Just be sure to have a back up plan. I was lucky that it was used on a lamp by my desk so not so bad to have to manually turn it off/on. Another note: this bulb doesn’t allow for you to turn off/on when you are too far away. My reason for the purchase was to flip it on and off when we aren’t home..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Mesh IssuesI like the functionality but when opening the app, 8 times out of 10, the app can not find mesh. There is no instructions what to do next. I have to get up and turn on and off light switch for the mesh to be found again and start connectivity again. Plus, the app only works when you are close by. You can not turn on or off lights once you leave the location. Two weeks later....this is getting old. Every time that I need to turn on the light or off, the app won't mesh. Frustrating!.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Really bad appApp Store should be embarrassed to still have this app available. Too bad there isn’t a -⭐️ giving a one star ⭐️ rating is way too generous..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Interface needs to be updated!I’m giving 2 stars to this app because it’s become annoying the fact that the on off button on the iPhone screen moves over when trying to dim my light making the motion of my finger useless. And you have to try 2 or 3 times so the dimmer on your screen catches your finger motion and does what’s suppose to do. I mean.. WHEN in the world have you seen a light switch or wall dimmer moving over like it’s hanging on a string and you need the other hand to hold it?.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Glitchy and can’t add groupsApp gets worse with time. Bulbs no longer respond. Schedules off. Can delete and readd app, bulbs, groups, schedules and it is a mess. Takes forever and now can’t find “mesh” or 5 of my 7 bulbs. Waste of money. I called customer support and spent 2 hours on hold and was finally told i would be sent new bulbs. They never came. Sham. Don’t get these!!!! Previous ... With a category of “groups” you would think you could add one — but you can’t. It is just all or go over to bulbs and turn them on/off one at a time. Scheduling is one by one so I have to set up 10 schedules to cover lights coming on each night. And when time changes or you want to change them it gets glitchy. Some changes take, others do not. Taking a bulb off schedule does not help. Best is to delete the schedule and start from scratch. And do this several times a year. Also the dim is manual. You cannot preset a bulb or schedule it with a dim function on. What a drag..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Never control the bulb, what a wasteI couldn’t connect, never worked, waste of my money.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Wow! Horrible, app keeps quitting…… waste of $$, app keeps quitting!.Version: 2.1.0
✓ This app that app...all garbageFirst Feit app can’t connect a light. A single light... Heaven help me if I invested in something whole home. Yikes. Thank goodness I didn’t! Company recommendation to move to this app from deprecated version. App doesn’t load on iOS 14. All trash. Other “off” brand lights and apps. Seamless. iOS 14. They should probably get in the business of scented semi smart candles. Would probably smell better than this crap. Frustrated..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Keeps crashingNot allowing to go beyond the login screen. It keeps crashing. All products bought for it are now useless..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Didn’t work for meLove the idea. At first it wouldn’t “mesh” with my internet but after calling tech support, I’d get it to work for a day and then everything would just disappear from the app and once again, it wouldn’t mesh. They were very nice to talk to and I’m glad it works for some but I have high speed Comcast internet, live in the middle of the city, and the light switch is in the next room to where the router is. I also had the split internet addresses (it requires 2.4). I wish it would have worked. It’s awesome when it does..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Do not buy!!!App is very badly done. Does not connect half of the time. Doesn’t always turn on when it should but does turn on when it shouldn’t like the middle of the night ! Avoid at all costs, there are better products out there..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Weak interface and bulb reliabilityHave two outside lights. System works but reliability suffers because the bulbs lose their memory and stay on as soon as there is a power failure or power surge. Then you need to go into the app and make a small change to the schedule to get them to work. That means going on vacation, you can’t rely on them keeping their schedule. I just upgraded from iPhone 5s to 10r and the new phone can not connect to the bulbs. I waited on the phone with customer service for 30 minutes and did not get help. I emailed customer service and they did not respond. I give this system a C grade at best. I may upgrade to philips system soon..Version: 2.1.0
✓ App doesn’t even open anymoreThis is garbage.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Not workingNew iPhone 12 Not working anymore Can you update app.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Not very brightThis app needs an overhaul. It's long overdue. Constantly drops the schedule and just doesn't work. Trying to reset the program is laughable. Hire some adults to re-write your programs..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Don't buy until they fixI had not updated this app on all my devices because I didn't like some changes . After I updated to 14.5 the app made me update it, now it crashes everytime I try to login to access my bulbs. Thankfully I have one old phone that won't go to iOS 14 so I can still work my bulbs, but if that phone dies I will be out of luck. I have the Bluetooth bulbs but I know Feit has some more advanced bulbs. I would not buy anything until they fix this issue. Until this I had been extremely pleased these were a 5 star bulb for me. If they fix this issue I will change this review..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Overall FeelingSo, customer service is awesome with these lights. You have a problem or bulb goes out-call the company and they will send you new bulbs for free without a receipt and didn’t matter when I purchased them. They walked me through getting the bulbs going again. Issue is, the app and connecting sure can be a pain if you don’t use them for awhile. Connectivity issues are a problem. If they could figure that out, I would give them a 5 star rating..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Please update your app compatibility to new iOSIt won’t work under the new iPhone 12. Please fix it.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Not workingApp is not working. It crashes. Waste of money.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Crashes with ios15App crashes since ios15 update.Version: 2.1.0
✓ What happened?Until several days ago the app worked fine with two of my bulbs. It has worked without problems for several years. All of a sudden the app crashes when I try to add a device. I can’t even open the add device screen without it crashing. I have deleted the app done a restart of my phone and reinstalled the app several times and it doesn’t make any difference. Did you do an update in the last few days that now has screwed things up? I have an iPhone XS and it worked just fine with this app. Until a few days ago. Now it is useless..Version: 2.1.0
✓ GarbageCan’t use my lights because the app does nothing but crash. Complete waste of money.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Very poor applicationApplication always shuts down and never allows you to connect to the lamp. Never buy lamps that use this application.Version: 2.1.0
✓ CrashesApp crashes as soon as it opens. How can I even use my bulbs the way their designed if I can’t use the app that controls them??.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Sucks. Crashes upon opening on my new iPhone 12.Piece of crap. Be nice if the bulbs worked with some other app..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Worked well for a while...Got this in the fall for an outside pole light that we forget to turn off and lined up the schedule to the sunset and sunrise. Worked well for a few months, not sure if because I have a new iPhone 11, or if it is due to the winter cold, but it tried to connect to the mesh and the app sometimes connects, but then just shuts down and blanks out. The schedule doesn’t work anymore. Great concept, but doesn’t look like the developers have updated it in a year? How about an update folks?.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Works until time change or power outageI’ve had these bulbs and app for a little over a year. Originally, they worked well - the bulbs and mesh were easily discovered and the schedules worked well. That all ended every time I wanted to adjust the schedule, the time changed (daylight savings), or the switch was shut off or a power outage occurred. In the past it was just annoying as I could delete everything and start over and eventually get everything to work properly. I have been messing around with trying to get this app and bulbs to work properly for over 2 weeks and it still isn’t working! I have followed the directions, deleted the app, went through the ridiculous reset of the bulbs, and created a new account. Thought it was fixed, and then there was a power outage. Have not been able to get it to work since. One bulb is never recognized (out of 2) and the schedule will not work at all. Now I just have very expensive light bulbs I can use by turning on a switch. Totally useless and a waste of money..Version: 2.0.0
✓ If I could rate it 0 stars, I wouldThe product itself is terrible. Bought it and came home to find only one smart device can connect to a single bulb. (It was printed VERY tiny on the BOTTOM of the box). This was disappointing because my boyfriend and I were wanting the ability to be able to both control the bulb from our own phones. Also, not sure how they got "HomeBrite" trademarked because there's another company with the same name totally separate from this one and it's actually a legitimate company probably getting a bad rep from this specific line of products. Overall, terrible app (could never find the bulb) and terrible product. Would NOT suggest buying..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Boycott all FEITAbandoned app … for physical lightbulbs ???.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Crashes on startupI know this is an old piece of software, but I still have a HomeBrite bulb that I use and had scheduled the way I needed it. Well, we were hit by Hurricane Ida here in New Orleans, no power for two weeks. The bulb has apparently forgotten its schedule (understandable), but I haven't used the Feit HomeBrite app on this phone, ever. I just downloaded it, and it crashes right after startup. Please fix this, I know it just needs updating to the latest OS and Feit is a large enough company that they can afford the menial cost associated with such an update... after all, it really doesn't look good for Feit Electric to have such a deeply unpopular product rating in the App Store... (hint hint).Version: 2.1.0
✓ No Longer works After iOS 14I used to like this app. After iOS 14 came out, the app no longer works and will instantly crash whenever I try to open it. I have tried reinstalling and changing the settings on my phone, but it still doesn’t work. Please fix..Version: 2.1.0
✓ UnreliablePoor interface. Unreliable connectivity. App appears to have been designed & written by a novice. APP no longer connects with bulb. Bulb is now just an expensive LED. If you're looking for an expensive LED bulb, this is perfect. If you want a reliable, programmable bulb look elsewhere..Version: 1.0.6
