Sengled Element Home for Android
First off, the sign on screen is ridiculously slow. The rest of the app is a jumbled mess that makes little sense. I get what you're going for, but it's really difficult to set up rooms and control individual bulbs. Secondly, why can't I set up different scenes or moods using the same bulbs? It's like no one thought I might like to set up different lighting in the same room. Also, the splash screen has to go. I hate having to wait looking at a crappy splash screen before I can turn on the lights.
5 stars for planting trees! Needs more / unlimited schedules per day, as well as weekday/weekend scheduling. Changed the location of my bulb but cannot change the default icon image (showing a bathtub and sink for my 'Family Room'). Thought this was supposed to provide usage data?! Just shows how many days you've owned the bulbs, not how many hours they've been on, or any ability to calculate your $/Carbon savings (ability to enter your kw/hrs rate would be nice too).
I can't download the app
Nice features, but combersome. Needs options to allow some shortcuts. It would really be nice to have some widgets. If not for Alexa integration, the product would fall short relying soley on this app.
Finally FINALLY got it to locate my hub. Now it wants me to do a firmware upgrade. The button to do the upgrade in the app doesn't work. From more than one device.
It's finally improving...
The new UI looks nice but the performance report section is completely empty. What do I need to do to get information to start appearing there like in the old app? Edit: it appears to be working now so maybe it was buggy before. Added one more star.
Why remove the old app?!? I thought it couldn't get any worse. I was wrong!

Only thing I wish it had was grouping of lights so I can turn on a group of lights I want on at a click of a button also a widget would be great to turn on my lights without opening the app. Please
