First of all, the lantern itself is great, amazing battery life and very good illumination. If you want to check the battery life you need to press the power button which then switches off the light, a bit annoying yes. So get the app they say, well here is the problem with the app: 1. Once you have the app set up to recognize your light, you need to close and restart every time with your phone no more than an inch away for the app the find the light. 2. The battery indicator doesn’t give any indication of how full your battery is, a percentage would make sense don’t you think?

Fortunately this fine little lantern doesn’t need a phone app, and arguably shouldn’t have one. But if it’s going to have one, it should work. It doesn’t. Do you want to carry a bent paper clip around with you to re-pair Bluetooth Every. Single. Time? Enjoy being told you need to upgrade firmware, then getting stuck in a loop of disconnecting, reconnecting (hope you’ve still got that paper clip!) and being told you need to update again? Then you’re in luck!

So my LANTERN needed a software update. So I started the update. Half way through it said it failed please try again no matter how many times I try it says failed and now my lantern is a 120 dollar brick.. what in the world is going on. ITS A LANTERN.

App is incredibly glitchy. Thought it was cool when I first bought the lantern, but it doesn’t seem to work any more. I can no longer get it to pair.

You’ve had a couple of years to improve this simple Bluetooth app. Why no firmware update? The whole reason for this purchase was for the Bluetooth. You can get any old lantern off of Amazon for half the price.

Do not use app if you want your lantern to work. Firmware makes light no longer work. Contacted lander customer support and they are trying to resolve the issue

Don’t bother. Does not connect. Lantern is frustrating to use manually. Just a bad product.

My Cairn XL is not connecting to the app anymore. It randomly stopped one day despite trying multiple times to sync via Bluetooth. I will admit however, when it was operating properly it was great and did exactly as advertised. Please fix the bugs!

Very difficult to navigate and pair with boulder lantern.

Needs candle glow/flicker and maybe a continuously changing color mode or could be sweet to have the app use the phone mic or partner with Spotify etc to go along with the music….idk. Otherwise it’s a sweet lantern and being able to control/adjust remotely is pretty neat.
