I have used this app for years, and it has always worked great! For the most part... Every now and then some of my light bulbs won't be connected again and I'll have to relearn how to reconnect them. Like every six months or so. I can never be sure if it is because of this app, Google Home, or Alexa though, lol. The main thing is that I can usually relearn how to connect my bulbs in 30 minutes or less. And considering how convoluted everything is these days, I'm plenty happy with that.

What do I actually do? This only shows a slideshow of 4 pages, with a button to try out pro mode, which I don't want. But okay, if I tap the button, it immediately demands I agree to the privacy policy, or the app will exit. This is ridiculous, I thought this was supposed to be good. Edit: guest access isn't much better. It doesn't find my device, plus it complains that I have to select a 2.4G network. My WiFi is both, so I don't understand what it wants from me.

Ever since the newest update my lights are unresponsive. The app itself is also not working properly as when I try to control a light it's stuck in the first screen I click on. Even when I try to make the lights a warm color they don't respond and now are stuck in a cool white color. I have tried reconnecting to the lights, deleting the lights and connecting to them again, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and so far nothing has worked. It seems to be an app issue and not a light issue.
