Greenbulb for Android
I use 3 devices 1+1 s3 and a s3 tablet 2014 edt I've even contacted them by email on August 2nd and was told there was an update just redownload and I did even thou the last update was June 25th. None of the buttons work on this app so all I got now is a WiFi box that dose nothing a $60 lightbulb that is worth $5 at best. At least its my uncles not mine but I feel like they robbed him they did not even give him a receipt so he could return it. Tl:dr DON'T BUY!
Crashed
These are terrible the bulbs were flashing violently for about an hour and wouldn't turn off had I had epilepsy i would've died
I purchased this product specifically for the ability to use the app when I am away from home. It doesn't work. I have tried to contact the company to help me but they won't return my calls or emails. Don't waste your money on this expensive product.
The remote doesn't work. The app doesn't work. Can you guys please update your app
The bulbs are great, and the controller that comes with them works great. The app works on my daughter's ipod, but not on my android device. Please update your android app so that it works like the iphone one does. Thanks. --- Update --- The app now works - but the light bulb does not "flash" when assigned to a zone as it says in the instructions.
App does not work, no support from the company. The physical remote works great, the app is a total failure.
We got two bulbs with the home network controller. Seeing up the hub was easy. However seeing up the light took some time. You apparently have to hold the on button down when programming the light to the zone button you wish to use. All in all a great product.
Never works 95% of the time

Piece of s***
I tried several times to get the app to work and it doesn't. Help!
If you follow directions its pretty straight forward on the basic setup. Thanks for tip on how to get the light back to white. Directions don't explane the controls
This app hasn't been responding to the router lately.
Cannot link to home wifi. Same problem other users have indicated.
Works great
Noticing all the problems other people have had with this app I thought I should share my experience. I have an HTC One V. 1. Downloaded the app, and spent about half an hour trying to connect my phone to the "Greenbulb" network via the wifi controller. After unplugging and plugging back in the wifi controller (without pushing the RST button with a pin) I was able to connect. 2. Went into the "configuration" menu and found my local home wifi network, entering the password to tether the two together. I can't go back into the configuration menu once I set it up (probably a bug which may require me to uninstall and reinstall the app if I ever change my home wifi network). 3. Entered the "monitor" menu, turned my bulb on manually and pressed "zone 1" on, at which point the light bulb flashed 3 times indicating it had worked. The bulb now performs flawlessly. Side note: To get the bulb back to white, press and hold the "zone on" or "master on" button. Looking forward to customizing my houses lighting for any holiday, occasion or Friday night seeing as I have 6 of these bad boys.

The lack of updates is starting to worry me.... Twice now I've invested in this product. Where is the support?!? Tips: 1. Home WiFi router must be broadcasting it's SSID (and not be hidden) for greenbulb WiFi hub to see it. Might even need to set to WEP encryption. 2. Smartphone app: How to make the lamp go JUST WHITE. Top left "-" button press and hold. Aside from the minor issues, this system is totally awesome!! Highly recommended, if you enjoy easy home automation this is a must have.
I have a note two. I stuck on first page with new device or manage device , cant go past that. Maybe its a sin.
I got my lights set up from my remote control and smartphone/tablet to adjust lights in 4 different rooms. Can't wait for additional updates!

Not very intuitive, could use some advice when no devices found.

App loses connectivity constantly bulbs are great but technology sucks. I'm back to the old fashion way of regular on off
