## Sidus Link Reviews in United States

### *---- "Quick shots keeps crashing"
Whenever I open the quick shots menu the app crashes. Can’t use any of my presets.
-- Foley2311, 2025-07-07

### *---- "Pay Wall Added!"
Why is a Paywall being added in order to use the app?!? Ridiculous!
-- Mac.Choudhry, 2025-06-18

### ***** "Jade Jones"
An amazing interface and easy to use!
-- jones2828, 2025-06-07

### ***** "Fabulous App!!"
One of my favs to work with in a low budget small shoot!!!!
-- Sensienfbana, 2025-06-07

### *---- "No Alexa compatibility in 2025"
It’s really annoying that you cannot turn on and off your light with Alexa. Isn’t that the main point of a light’s Bluetooth app?

If I have to open up my phone to turn my light on or off, I might as well just walk over to my light and touch the on/off button.

Unfortunately, there is no workaround using a smart plug. I tried with Kasa. You can turn your lamp off with your voice. But if you tell Kasa to turn your lamp on, it will just turn the power on. You have to walk over to your light and turn it on manually.

Neither Aputure nor Sidus advertise that you can turn lights on and off with voice control. But, I think this is the main functionality that people would assume and want from an app.

I bought the $420 Aputure LS 60X Bi-Color. I would think that at that price point, Aputure could add Alexa voice control to their app.
-- BurntCremeBrulee, 2025-04-20

### *---- "Spyware! Return the lights!"
This scum company doesn’t think getting your money is enough and they require your personal data to be able to control the lights you already paid for. Just say no and return the lights.
-- AppFzx, 2025-04-08

### **--- "Can’t even register"
Been trying to register an account for the last 15 minutes and the app wont let me make an account!
-- Jolly Oliver, 2025-03-15

### ***** "Amazing"
A one man band shooting interviews. Controls of multiple lights from my phone at camera!! This is magic and bye bye unions!!!
-- Gabor Muse, 2025-02-27

### *---- "Not enough info about privacy"
I don’t understand why this app has to send any of my data to Sidus/Aputure. When I run the app for the first time it says it will collect a whole range of data, including device data (is that my iPad data or my lighting data?). All I want is a simple bluetooth control. Also, all the reviews on the Apple app store are very old. Does anyone have anything good to say about this app lately? Until I see more information about this, I’ll do without the app and look elsewhere for any additional lights I might need in the future.
-- A_._D, 2024-12-02

### *---- "Violating app store policy"
Requiring camera permission to adjust Bluetooth lights? Why? Reporting to Apple
-- dotnettrashman, 2024-08-31

### **--- "Camera access unnecessary"
Why is camera access needed just for dimming control???

I don’t need the color picker feature, the app shouldn’t be restricting basic app functions due to camera access.
-- Colvinang18, 2024-07-26

### *---- "I gave up im 64 years its not me its my  age I guess"
Complicated
-- wisetipper, 2024-06-29

### **--- "Update"
Forcing me to do an update on a project isn’t what I’d expect out a professional light or lighting software.
-- ThinkwithPictures, 2024-05-24

### **--- "Disappointed in Amaran"
Disappointed that they just gimped the Pt*C tubes.  No support for Sidus Go for a $400+ tube.  I mean the $60 light bulbs are supported had to return them and go with another brand
-- ATL_GMAN, 2024-05-13

### *---- "Bad, like really bad"
This thing connects once fine but will disconnect and make you look like a moron who doesn't know what he's doing. I'm embarrassed to use these lights that's how bad the app is.
-- Satisfied Steven, 2024-01-01

### **--- "Multiple devices?"
The app works great, but it only lets you login with one device at a time. I have the HD app on my iPad and the regular one on my iPhone and I have to re-login every time I use it from a different device, despite paying for ProPremium. This is a very frustrating feature.
-- BWeiss911, 2023-09-19

### *---- "App won’t open"
How long before your developers notice and fix this problem?
-- Awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeee95348, 2023-09-04

### *---- "Used to be pretty good bit now it crashes and so is useless."
Just updated today with high hopes but alas it still just crashes after tapping to start it. Never got a response to my email to support. Hopefully it will be fixed some day!
-- Jason Gurtz-Catyla, 2023-09-03

### *---- "DOES NOT OPEN"
App refuses to open on my iPhone 11. Just updated. This is going to be a huge issue for an upcoming shoot if this isn’t fixed immediately. 9/1/23
-- Review 7219, 2023-09-01

### *---- "Crash crash crash"
App kept crashing not even opening for a while . 12 pro Max . Ios 16.6
-- maglly, 2023-08-27
