Reos (iota) Lite for Android
App fails to connect. Not even sure how to diagnose this. Is this a phone issue or bulb related? No indicator on bulb, not even a blink that tells you it's receiving power. For all I know the bulb is probably dead. Got no response on helpline number mentioned. No one picked up the call. :/ Also, app install only on phones and not tablets
Highly disappointed.. Basic app features are missing. Auto connect doesn't work. Remember last color doesn't work. Need lot of improvements. Everytime you have to search lite to get connected. No widget to quickly toggle. One more thing.. i was planning to use my old tablet as a remote which is on kit Kat .. the app doesn't support tegra note 7.. not sure why
The feature rich bulb is awesome. But this app is a nightmare. It keeps changing schedules regularly without my consent . It nearly toasted my bulb during firmware update. And, it just pairs and unpairs with the bulb without any particular reason... Please fix the app and make its quality on par with the hardware supplied.
Connecting the bulb was super fast. After that it was mostly disappointing. If I turn on call alert feature... The bulb does not switch back to original light after the call ends requiring me to manually switch back to my choice of default light. I keep the bulb on Yellow bright from the two color swatch instead of the rainbow swatch and call alert feature basically ruins it for me. I also have a feature request... App icon sized widget to turn on/off the light so that I do not have to enter the app every single time to perform this basic function.
1. Scheduler works only once - only the first time. For it to work everyday, I guess the scheduler has to be opened and saved every single day. 2. Auto connect has never worked. I have to do a search every time, and discover the bulb and then connect. Fix these two issues at least, and I will give you 3 stars.
5 stars if my bugs get fixed 1) When i put my1100 lumen bulb in white mode via warm cold pallete it doesnt remeber the shade next. time.Instead it turns on to last used color.It should turn on to shade of white . 2) Brightnes control while controlling white light is buggy 3) After receiving alert via notification it again reverts back to color instead of white light
Where shoud i start? 1. Bulb gets disconnected on its own most of times.. 2. Sometimes bulb is shown available but unable to connect though tried for many times...only solution found was to switch the bulb off and again turn it back on.. 3. Most irritating part is the way schedules function behaves in the app, it never makes appropriate changes though tried it many times, am not able to delete a schedule or make changes in existing ones, whatever i do, previous schedules only pop up again when the bulb again connects to the app...only thing possible to make a change is to factory reset the bulb again and again. Hope this doesn't damage the bulb.. Please rectify the following problems..
The bulb is good, but the app couldn't be worse. Takes ages for the bulb to connect, needs location to be turned on (don't know why), bulb hardly ever connects automatically on starting the app, the scheduler is very buggy and the app lacks a lot of features (for instance selecting the brightness of bulb while scheduling). Totally dissatisfied with the app. Wouldn't recommend people to purchase until the app is fixed + updated. Look for other options until then.
Not enough features it does not sync accordingly to the music beats very poor Developers u got there in ur office time to develop the developers
Bugggyyyyy Led gets disconnected quite frequently and even don't show on search easily! Needs alot of improvements on connectivity part and then only other features come into play
maintenance of app is not good.. oneplus 3t on android 7.1.1 not working.. ( its show connected but no effect on bulb colors)... motorola g2 on android 7.1.2(lineage os) working perfectly... yuphoria on android 5.1.1 working perfectly..
Because of this app the bulb is useless as a static bulb. The app doesn't connect nomatter what. I tried uninstalling and installing it back. If you can't make a bug free app to work with a smart bulb thenwhy sell a smart bulb???
Not very great app. 1.it takes time to connect multiple reos i have couple of them. 2.music sync is pathetic and it lags a lot 3.random colour changes on music sync allow for single colour since even soothing songs get rampant colour changes and spoils the mood. 3.scheduling white or yellow high lumens is not possible. 4. There is no way in modes to choose white or yellow lights. 5. If i choose high lumen white light and turn the light back again it doesn't remember those. I mean there are plenty of issues trust me its a mere fun for day and then its crap just because the basic simple testings are not done. I use pure android on motog4plus and reos sucks a big time. Sorry to say but mansaa lights and software is way better.
Works almost well. Syncing can be problematic on all phones. Main issue is a software big that forces the Bluetooth unresponsive. Need to manually restart the Bluetooth_share system app to fix this.
Whenever I connect my bluetooth earphones to my phone, I get a popup saying 'Reos Lite has crashed'. This happens everytime even when the app is not in use. Please fix.
Works well once connected but every time you open the app it doesn't automatically connect. Have to scan to connect which requires your GPS to be on which is an unnecessary extra step!
Why why ?
fix the music sync, add more modes, let us choose the apps to get the notifications from instead of being stuck among your small list of apps, fix the YouTube channel select option (I can't select any YouTubers I actually watch from your list)
Such a cheat...everytime we choose any option in the app, lite got disconnected. Photo capturing not working. Scheduler not working..one has to switch the lite from main board again n again just to toggle different functions in the app
I am not able to connect with my moto g2 running on Android 6.0. This bulb is useless piece. Don't recommend this to anyone.
Connecting to the app to the bulb is really bad even in the same room. Once the notification is ended like call, text etc. the light doesn't switch to its default color (white in my case). Multiple bugs like app crash, frequent disconnections etc.
When the updated version will come...i want synchronizing with the reos bulb with any music app and youtube...and please playing music from reos music app is annoying it doesnt detects songs from sd card it only detects from internal storage...but my internal storage is going short of space...i can hardly put some 100 to 200 MB songs....please update the app with good features and synchronizing with the bulb...
Won't auto re-connect and this app required GPS with Bluetooth for connecting, notification light not revert back after see that notification or attend the call, fix bug in this app
Why is it mandatory to have access to contacts , SMS , & also location . Without which it doesn't connects to bulb. Earlier this wasn't true. And it can be optional not mandatory.its to be connected via Bluetooth so why do you need access to location.
App is horribly buggy, does not connect fluently
The app has lots of bugs, sometimes the music synchronisation work sometimes it does not
Voice sync aint working. The app crashes when i tap on the voice mode bar.
Great light and app. I would like to have it integrated with Google assistant. Is there any way to do it? Can you please add ifttt support at least?
Would love a widget! Good app.
It doesn't support one plus 3t naugat 7.1.1 what the hell and I know duckers will not listen just buy there bulb like a fool
Please update your app bulb is good but app is sucks disconnect automatically please update and fix that problem
Good app. Needs more Polishing and addition of new themes like Lifx. But before all this, please add functionality to use more than 7 bulbs.
Scheduler not behaving properly Even after deleting the created schedule it says only 4 schedule is allowed. They should release a proper app
Terrible, defective, worthless, and bad customer support
Bulb keeps stuck in the notification light.
Bulb is good....but app needs lot of improvements...bulb gets unpaired on its own...no auto connect feature...please fix this as soon as possible...
Unable to connect.. Very disappointed...
Sometimes app fail to connect.
It's nice every thing works well

I mostly use the music sync or the yellow mode only. One thing which not many reviewers point out is that the app can sync lites without reos music also. Just turn the music sync OFF and turn ON the microphone option. Place the phone near a sound source (like a speaker). All sound thus captured would sync with the light. It could be another device which is streaming the music to the speaker. All you need is to place the device with reos lite app close to the speaker to capture the sound clearly. I would really like if they can work on an app on lines of hue disco to increase the number of effects and strobbing intensity. Would definitely make this rock!
