Magic-Lantern for Negative User Reviews
✓ App is setup VERY BADLYThe colour presets are completely wrong! It’s in need of an update but by the looks of it, won’t be anytime soon due to the previous 2 comments stating it many months ago and yet no change to it. It’s sad because it’s an amazing setup but lack of effort on the app is a huge disappointment..Version: 6.2.6
✓ BrokenThe colours in the app and the lights don’t match anymore. You can only set solid colours and not your own patterns. The preset patterns are ugly..Version: 6.4.17
✓ Lights worked well at firstThe lights worked really well at first, they changed colors correctly to the color selected on the app but after playing with all the options somehow the RGB got changed? Red in the app now shows blue lights in my car Blue in the app now shows green lights and green shows red, the lights still work fine, I’m just not sure why you’d add a ton of lighting options and features if the basic RGB mixtures aren’t even accurate..Version: 6.2.6
✓ Not functionalIt only has crappy presets and it doesn’t let you use the full capability of the light. I have the hexagon wall lights and you are supposed to be able to have multiple colors per hexagon but this bad app only lets you have 1 color per hexagon. The app itself is trash the colors are completely wrong. Whoever made this app needs to let us control the presets and make custom presets. That’s literally the whole reason I got the lights. It isn’t that hard to let us make custom presets so I don’t understand why it isn’t already in the app. I already know the devs aren’t going to read this but hopefully someone else can so they don’t waste their money on these lights..Version: 6.3.5
✓ Doesn’t workDoes not work on I phone.Version: 6.2.5
✓ Kinda Weird butI just got my light kit installed for this app and I constantly keep catching my lights being on when the app says they’re supposed to be off. I do not know why this would be happening but a fix would be appreciated..Version: 6.3.8
✓ Waste of moneyApp won’t select correct colour of lights. There are no instructions explaining how to use. More cheap Chinese rubbish being peddled via Amazon. Avoid at all costs..Version: 6.3.5
✓ DIY options for coloursProduct is great however a simple DIY colour selection option on the app would make your product stand out the most, a true titan. The alternative a different companies device that includes DIY patterns as I think that option benefits both casual use for myself and a professional use for led displays..Version: 6.2.6
✓ UnhappyHello Mark, I recently purchased your AMBOther under glow lights. They worked for one day by the app. The next day nothing. We have to use a switch just to make the lights come on. The Key Phob does not work. When trying to use the app there is a delay or no response. When wanting to change colors it will no respond to some colors. It’s almost like someone has control of my lights. The bright glow is also gone. The lights are dim even when I try to make them bright. I’m a very unhappy customer. Talking to my technician. He explained that the brain might be bad..Version: 6.4.7
✓ TerribleWasted all my money app did not connect and had to throw away 2 hours after receiving do not buy this is a scam of your money please find a better place to buy leds.Version: 6.3.5
✓ Awesome lightsHey developers, can y’all add some customization to the lights where I can pick my own colors? The presets are cool and all, but you can do so much more to make it feel more personal..Version: 6.4.13
✓ Works Decent on Mini 12Not sure what the fuss is about but able to connect to BT easily. Presets are decent and you can adjust speed so not fully customizable. If that’s what your looking for this isn’t it. Mic is a bit sensitive and no way to adjust. Music also doesn’t work nicely and seems to be only preset but I don’t use neither. I also experienced the color displaying incorrectly. Still could use some fine tuning but a decent start to the app..Version: 6.3.8
✓ FakeHi I just got the UAULA LED strip lights and this app doesn’t work use the DuoCo Strip.Version: 6.2.6
✓ Doesn’t connect to more than one lightI wish you could Bluetooth more than one light… very disappointed..Version: 6.3.8
✓ TrashDoesn’t even have single colour fade... pretty much the most basic option. hopefully this app gets updated soon. as others have said, being able to customize your own patterns would be perfect..Version: 6.2.6
✓ TerribleIt doesn’t work properly..Version: 6.2.6
✓ App won’t connect to lampApp won’t connect to my lamp.Version: 6.3.5
✓ Not working after time.Ive had this app for a little over 3 months, working with my LEDs installed in my vehicle. Ive left the color on one solid color for about a month & never changed the color since. Recently, tried to change the color & the app is no use anymore. Help..Version: 6.4.17
✓ Nothing works not even the remoteGot this for my kitchen and the white panel doesn’t work, the remote doesn’t work and to top it off neither does the app..Version: 6.3.5
✓ Keeps disabling the off scheduleI have a very simple schedule programmed. On every day at 7pm, off at midnight. The app consistently fails to turn off the lights and the schedule gets switched to disabled in the app. Never has a problem turning the lights on though.Version: 6.4.13
✓ UghThe fact that you both said you have over 16 million color combinations and no holidays or Fourth of July or anything else useful is astonishing. I bought this set to use it because I do a lot with veterans and I cannot do red white and blue. How is that not even available? Fix it and I will fix my rating.Version: 6.3.9
✓ Please give us the ability to customize lightsGradient patterns with custom color selections, and any light patterns you want with the existing options. That would be amazing and it would change peoples lights. This is an important feature missing. Customization! Please bring it to the app..Version: 6.4.13
✓ Great at first, but after updates, became buggyThey worked great at first, but after a recent update in March, they’ve become buggy. I’ll have them on 1 Autoplay Mode and then after a few minutes, they switch to a flashing mode and I have to unplug and plug back it the adaptor to get it back to the first mode. This happens every 4-7minutes..Version: 6.3.8
✓ Magic lantern doesn’t connect to my smart lightsThis app seems so good but I when I open the app and try to connect it will not connect to my novostella smart led lights. My lights works with the lotus lantern app. It doesn’t work with the magic lantern app. This is why I gave 1 star. Hopefully they can look into this and fix it or add all the effects into the lotus lantern app..Version: 6.4.13
✓ Music Compatibility HorribleHonestly like I’ve seen in other reviews the music compatibility of this app and the light itself is horrible to be honest. Might return the product but this app is not great either..Version: 6.4.17
✓ Need better UX designThere should be an option to delete/troubleshoot lamps or lights that unlink. I cannot get one of my lamps to work and now it’s stuck in one mode. I’ve unplugged and deleted the app. Nothing will work. Please fix this..Version: 6.3.9
✓ How do i connect to the lights?I connected to them once and i dont know how. When i was connected i made this scedule thing and it started to make the lights flash, and now it wont stop. How do i connect to the lights?.Version: 6.4.19
✓ Good but could be betterI got these LED lights specifically for the app-controlled aspect. I wanted to be able to change them seasonally and customize them. This app has tons of color choices and motion settings, but is missing a few things that I would really like to see; things that would be very easy to implement for the developers. First, season-specific color ways. I’m using YCP flush open for spring but I don’t see anything that would work perfectly for Thanksgiving (orange, red, yellow, brown), Halloween (orange, purple, off/black), Pride (ROYGBIV), July 4th (RWB), etc. Adding a list of holidays/seasons would be easy and solve this perfectly. Second, there’s no way to customize beyond picking a single color. I don’t see why we can’t pick multiple colors and motions. I’d love to do something like a firework (motion from the middle of the set out) or a glitter type of motion pattern - with whatever colors I pick. I really hope the developer of this app implements these ideas very soon because YCP flush open only works through May. I want to leave the up year round and more options would allow me to do so. Thanks, dev team!.Version: 6.4.13
✓ Waste of money and timeDon’t listen to the people saying this product is actually good. I spent 2 hours of my time trying to connect 2 led strips together, only for the connection to keep loading and show up as connected in my settings in Bluetooth. 3 of the LED lights toward the end of one of the strips wouldn’t stop being red. There’s no support or explanation of how to connect to multiple strips. The UI in the app is horrible. Looks like it was made in 2007. There’s alternatives, it’s time to take a look at them. Because I just wasted my money and time on this dumb product..Version: 6.3.10
✓ Lights showing wrong colourI slide to red on the colour wheel and the lights are blue?.Version: 6.3.5
✓ Not BadThe app has some nice settings, but doesn’t always sync well with the light - sometimes it takes a few tries and opening/closing the app before the light will sync. It would also be lovely to be able to program the light to your own colour design - for example to have 3 light points you can set your own colour on, rather than just the preset ones (some are OK, but majority are a bit tacky/unnecessary)..Version: 6.2.6
✓ HelpAPP NOT WORKING saying it’s coneted but nothing is working please help.Version: 6.3.8
✓ UselessMy remote that came battery less, I mean why put a piece of clear plastic to remove before you use your battery if there isn’t one? I down loaded the app, dosnt work, remote dosnt work, I have 2 brand new top brand name battery’s. The only way I could get mine to work was by moving the wires gently at the base, that’s it!.Version: 6.4.13
✓ Needs better music controlsSo the app works great controlling the lights. Lots of functions for how to control them and set the lighting. The downside is for the music it’s very limited. There is no way to go and select a playlist and have it work with that or select the music source say from another app like Sirius..Version: 6.2.5
✓ Totally ineffective.The app pairs with the lamp but has absolutely no effect whatsoever, no matter which PIN sequence is selected. The lamp is stuck on a rather unpleasant orange..Version: 6.2.8
✓ Needs one colour option on micWhilst these work well, there’s no one colour option on external mic, and multi colours toooooo distracting Twas the only reason I bought the lights Manual Bluetooth pairing would be better too as there no forget device option on IOS Please fix !!!!.Version: 6.3.5
✓ Horrible CustomizationWe want to be able to make our own color functions so we can use the full capability of the lights that we spent our money on. If you add another tab that allows users to enter whatever they want instead of having to use the preset functions then you’ll have a huge increase in your ratings..Version: 6.4.17
✓ Stupidest app I’ve ever seen.Upon downloading the app im immediately greeted with the change color thing. Never any instructions on how to even add my lights to the app. Then when going back and reading the instructions it’s telling me how to add it and the buttons it’s saying to hit aren’t even there anymore. Please go return your lights before you get to deep into it..Version: 6.3.5
✓ Needs refinementThe layout of the app is just janky. The 40+ styles in an infinite scrolling menu is abysmal to deal with. The speed slider doesn’t seem to matter when each effect has its on speed. When you use the music option your microphone picks up EVERYTHING and so you’re left with an annoying quickly flashing LED strip that doesn’t have any coronation with the sound being picked up. Shake feature is just stupid. And there’s no option to create a custom scene.Version: 6.3.4
✓ Hate themOnly half my lights are working. Had paradise grills send me out 3 more Strands and they all have the same problem. Have two sets on my bar and can not get them to be on the same color at the same time. Hit green on the remote one is green the other blue hit blue one goes red and the other green. Complete garbage do not purchase..Version: 6.4.10
✓ Not helpfulThe colors on my lights are inverted, so when I select purple the lights turn yellow, when I select red they turn green. Is this an easy fix or do I have a defective set? I tried to submit feedback within the app but was unable to because it wants me to put in my account info, but there is nowhere within the app to set up an account. The app also does not allow you to create your own color sets, and the lights can’t have individual colors. Regardless of how the app looks, I don’t think it actually functions very well..Version: 6.4.17
✓ Cool but extremely flakyVery convenient to be able to change light colors and set the schedule on my phone, but often the lights don’t come on when they’re scheduled to, and no matter how many times I press purple, they don’t become purple. I get an array of random colors when all I want is purple..Version: 6.4.13
✓ Need more controlRandom patterns on one side solid colors on the otherThey need to update this appI love the function possibilities but after having these lights and app less then a year I’m going to be uninstalling them and finding some that are way brighter and more reliable.Version: 6.4.17
✓ Doesn’t connectDoesn’t connect to my leds it connected once at the start and won’t anymore.Version: 6.3.2
✓ Finicky at timesI had a lot of difficulty at first getting the app to connect to the light strip; but once it was it really is not bad at all. It has a huge amount of interesting effects and patterns. It really could use some sort of favorites feature to save the patterns that one wants to quickly retrieve..Version: 6.3.4
✓ Janky - Doesn’t WorkCame with a corner LED light. Doesn’t connect or pair with the LED when I can connect to it in my iPhone. Doesn’t authenticate, which could be a problem. The app is terrible. It has a delayed input, it doesn’t explain itself at all, and all the options are useless if it can’t connect/work at all with the light. Light works okay by itself: remote does not work either. So, a crappy app for a sub par product..Version: 6.3.5
✓ Fragile and needs improvementThe lights function but I noticed that they get jittery when you move the power box at all. Also, they straight up lied about being able to connect to Apple Music. None of my library connects and that was the main reason I purchased. It’s just ten irrelevant pre set songs. For that reason two stars..Version: 6.2.7
✓ TerribleWhat even is this???? There aren’t that many colors, and the microphone doesn’t even work!!!! And get more songs!!! Or let the lights connect to the songs we wanna play on our playlists!!! Please do some sort of update to fix everything that everyone has been pointing out ( and the shake thing is just stupid- ).Version: 6.3.5
✓ Needs more customization!You should be able to customize the animations, we can only choose from a select amount of presets. Also, we should be able to pick mic option from the phone mic too!.Version: 6.2.6
✓ Colours are off and sound match are way offJust everything about this is off putting. Like this app is just useless 100% useless. Just use the trash remote that comes with it, at this point.Version: 6.3.5
✓ Needs to be customizableDevelopers, please please please allow us to make our own presets. I hate scrolling to set my LEDs to race, then strobe, then solid. Please allow one-color strobe. This app can be 5 stars if you make those changes..Version: 6.4.17
✓ App completely out of syncApp is all over the place. Presets are all wrong, blue is green, pink is yellow, etc. If app was fixed it would be a great app for my expensive lights....Version: 6.2.5
✓ This app doesn’t workThis app should be so you can control everything about your lights, however my two lights don’t sync exactly and change to different colours and any light motions are out of sync too. Also when I’m the style option of the app if you turn the speed to 0 the style keeps playing, but should it!? You’d think 0 speed would be pause, right?. The app only supports Apple and not other music apps, and the mic option doesn’t work either. You can’t save your colour choices so once it’s change you’ve lost that colour. Once you create a devise folder you can’t seem to delete that folder if you want. This could be a great product but with an app as poor as this I can’t enjoy my lights. Which is a shame as they’re expensive..Version: 6.2.0
✓ Really???You don’t even have holiday settings?? Are you kidding me???? Like really??? There’s no Christmas??? Fourth of July??? Valentines??? St Patrick’s day??? Halloween??? Thanksgiving?? Easter??? …maybe it’s just me but I feel your missing out on a huge market that seems like it would be overly simple to add…. But… … literally nothing… you have nothing useful….you get close then add or delete colors…. It’s like you started on the right track and then got distracted and did something else! You have the patterns, let us be able to modify the patterns with the colors we want and save them in our app Would be nice to be able to set my own colors I want for pattern that are provided… Please do yourselves a favor… Make the changes and I promise you’ll see a change in your reviews… that and I’ll get to change my review. I mean beside the settings the lights are amazing and everything else is great! (Ps if you make it so the people can edit it themselves and share what they did on your app then you don’t even need make any setting they will do it for you! You just need to make it so they can).Version: 6.3.5
✓ Could you add a Halloween light set (orange and purple)?Bought this for my camper to take my kids on a Halloween camping trip. Was upset to see you can’t easily pick two colors and put them in a rotation. Seems like a very simple fix..Version: 6.4.8
✓ It has potential but its has big issuesThe amount of modes and colors is amazing, however the Colors selected on the app show up as completely different colors on the lights, you need to fix the “adjust” section of the app, because thats where all of the problems are coming from..Version: 6.4.17
✓ This sucksHow do you connect the light to the app...Version: 6.4.12
✓ Bad colorThe color red is green, green is red and turquoise is purple. Need update please..Version: 6.2.6
✓ No holiday settingsThere are no holiday settings. This app would be sooo much better if you could had settings for holidays. You can’t even choose a color sequence that you want e.g. red, white and blue for 4th of July etc. there are a few multi color sequences but no good ones why??? The lights are cool but without holiday settings or being able to choose what you want makes it useless. Please add this feature then I could give you at least a 4 star. 5 star if the lights could be brighter. Even on the brightest setting not very bright..Version: 6.4.13
✓ SucksCan’t select own colour combos, time schedule doesn’t even work. If it rains it trips the lights and a small piece lights up multiple colour dots. Cheap. You get what you pay for.Version: 6.4.13
✓ Horrible appThe remote to the lights gets the red and green mixed up on - the app and remote control. The app quit working, so I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, and it won’t even show up in my Bluetooth settings. So now I can’t use my remote to do all the functions to physical remote cannot do. In theory these lights are awesome, but you can’t do any Christmas settings like red and green or white and red. there’s a lot to be desired with these lights, especially how much I paid for them. This Chinese app is horrible and whoever designed it should be fired..Version: 6.4.13
✓ Not ListThere is no feature to add favorite modes to the list.Version: 6.4.17
✓ App disappointsThe music feature is terrible, there are many different settings for light transitions yet hardly are satisfactory. To top it off, when you leave the lamp untouched for just a few minutes it switches settings.Version: 6.4.13
✓ The one thing I needed doesn’t work properly…So I have several RGB lights throughout my house. They’re all different brands. However they all have apps that schedule when the lights come on and off. This app has that however it only works on one lamp at a time for some reason. Whenever I schedule the lights to come on only on of the two works which is kind of annoying. I’m trying to figure out a work around by adding them to different groups but still no results. Seems like a software issue and I would really appreciate it if it were fixed. Kind of disappointed in the product. The lights themselves work great which is why I rated it a 3 star. Id rate it a 5 star if the app worked better..Version: 6.3.5
