Tabu Lumen for Android
Needs different fade options: fade all colors, change fade speed. Maybe even create custom fade patterns from color to color. App works, but lights always turn off shortly after Bluetooth disconnects. Would be nice to be able to control amount of time after Bluetooth disconnects before bulb turns off.
I've struggled with the app that came with the product for over 2 months now, and seriously, the Flintstones are more up to date. There's no excuse for an led light with an interface that's slow, unresponsive and even breaks considerably often. I recommend going with a bulb that's wireless, not lumen-catastrophe.
Still an useless app, like other users, no luck in pairing. Just pure frustration.
This app is terrible. almost every action results in crashes or failure to do anything at all.
Only works about half the time I use it, I've had to re install it about 3 times now. give me 2 hours and a computer and I could have made a better app. I don't think they even tried on this one.
App crashes when trying to add the bulb, so I can't use it. Will be returning the bulbs unless a fix to the app provided.
Horrible app that rarely actually connects to lights
Any chance of this app even c being updated, works OK but thought it might get better over time! Wake up timer takes about a minute to get to full brightness, play with music won't work with any other apps.
Bought this bulb in January and now its just a glorified light bulb. It will not pair at all. I have no control over it. Waste of money. Apparently, you have to update the firmware of your bulb to work for Android, and the only way to do that...is use an iOS device! Tabu, if I had an iOS device I wouldn't need to have the android app now would I?
I've run into similar issues as everyone else. The bulb constantly disconnects (if the app even works and doesn't crash). The size of the bulb is the only nice thing about this product (other connected light bulbs can be bulky). The colors aren't very good at all with the bulb that I own.
Wow. Useless is an understatement. I read plenty of reviews on the bulb and it sounded good. However none of the reviews really touched on how terrible the app and bulb work together. Almost impossible to pair, and once you pair it once, forget about leaving the app and coming back again to make an adjustment. You need to restart the bulb and your device in a specific order and even then its 50% chance it will work. Total garbage. Too bad because the light seems good. Same result on 3 dif devices.
So at first I thought this app was completely useless. But now, I have zero doubts. This app is completely useless. I only gave 2 stars because I'm a nice guy. Don't buy these lights.

Android version is garbage. We switched tablets after using the bulb with an iOS device and now it's pretty much just a light bulb. Since the Devs won't update their garbage app they should remove this from the store.
Keeps disconnecting. Not stable at all. Needs to be updated or will have to report this since there is no control over the fixtures being sold.
Constantly : loses communication with bulbs.... lights turn off, different bulbs, occurs sometimes quickly, sometimes late and rarely one will stay on as i need, but never both. And now I have to uninstall, and reinstall it.... what a pain in you know what.
Rubbish, would be really cool.... if it actually worked. $80.00 for a bulb that doesn't do anything, not impressed >:(
The app no longer is able to connect to the bulb. The app was never good, but atleast I was able to do something, but now nothing.
0 stars if I could. This is the only review I've ever made about anything. It's that bad. I hope tabu goes out of business
If I could move beyond pairing the bulb with my device I guess I could begin to write a review. Two hours later I am packing it in. I'll try again later but at this point I have a very dim light bulb in my lamp. The app I suspect has a bug in it..... the one star is because there is no "zero star". If I do get this thing to work I will write another review....
Worthless until you can get this app fixed.
It needs more features like a chaser,mic visualizer,also its hard to pick the color using that circle thing a slider would be easier.
Very easy to use, love it. All I have to do is activate Bluetooth. RIP the stupids.
So the color selection circle is really off set so to downwards there is a quaerter moonlike black, shape, so i can not choose some colours. Also whenever i press the bolt button, assuming it's power saving since the light gets dimmer, so on ios it works with some flickering changing stances but the android one goes nuts flickering for 10 seconds, also in the app you can not tell if this power saving it's on or not and also i miss the pixel accurate zoom to set the colour
Lights are good, but the app keeps crashing. Need to update their bugs
Die App ist total unbrauchbar, jeder Versuch, die Lampen zu steuern wird zum Geduldsspiel. Keine Bugfixes, keine Updates, keine API. Der zahlende Kunde hat also verloren...
I cant connect to bulb
The app keeps closing. Wasted money.
OK so I've been wanting a smartphone controlled led bulb for awhile but most of them are too expensive or really cheap and crappy so that's when I found the lumen. And I must say I'm am horrendously dissatisfied with this purchase, 50 dollars has never been better wasted. I recently found the illumi which is far the best bulb for the price and performance and they ACTUALLY update the app unlike this team. Seriously guys if your going to create a product then at least try and maintain the app, I mean come on
Crashes all the time. Loses connectivity to lights frequently. Battery appears to be draining faster with app running. Have to kill app and power cycle lights often. Will come home and find lights on.
I updated my phone to lollipop and after the upgrade it does not work
If I could have giving it a 0 i would have. The app does not work .
Main problem is, the bulb always disconnect when You switch to some other application. When You come back, it does not re-connect quite often. So You have to switch app and bulb off and start again. And the music mode is completely useless as it work only with app's internal player, so it can not be used with Your favorite music player, like Google Music Play or whatever.
App dose not connect to unit.
It used to work on my Samsung when running Kitkat but since I got the lolipop update, it stopped working. What's going on Lumen?
It doesn't work, never connects, crashes constantly
Running Android 5.1 on Xperia Z2,half of features are for iOS only, the app shuts down every button you press,no options are available,no bulbs are detected. nothing really is working,except links to their page which are opened through an external browser. really?returning the product after spending the entire day trying to make it work. sorry guys. I've tried.
I updated to the new 5.0 android and the bulb won't connect any more PLEASE FIX......
Can't connect so can't be controlled, and no support from the company.
