1. Set up was super easy it just worked out of the box, we were so happy we bought 2 extra boxes on sale end of season as spares; this year it won't even connect to the app, can't do anything anymore just unresponsive :( such a wasteThe app would not detect lights at all after the latest update but I found a fix.
2. These bulbs have worked for over 2 years without location.Connecting to my PLAYBULB comet takes a while - disconnecting, reconnecting, turning off Bluetooth turning it back on.
3. Why can't I add the candle effect to any of the presets?Unusable... I used the app without issue last year for my playbulb bulbs on our tree; colour changing features, timers, etc.
4. Overall, it works after a while and it's fine, improvement needed.The app is garbage, it can technically connect and control the candle light but setting anything up is just the worst.
5. Sorely disappointed.I have uninstalled and reinstalled and the app does not see any bulbs this year?? It was never that good and colors between strings has never been consistent.
6. Definitely don't recommend this product or app.I installed all 3 versions of this app and none of them detect the lights, but my phone finds them and connects instantly.
7. All permissions are on and there isn't a location setting as mention on one post someone made who got it to work....Used to work okay.
8. It doesn't find my playbulb after turning everything off/on, restarting, uninstalling/reinstalling and all the combinations.
9. I do not want location services on for a Bluetooth lightbulb.
10. It won't recognize the lights (even though my phone's Bluetooth sees them).
11. And the company doesn't seem to care as updates are not a common occurrence.It just doesn't work.
