AvatarControls

Overall the app is fine for what it needs to do. The devices often show as offline when you open the app, but when you refresh the page they show up most of the time. The controls are good and intuitive for colours and brightness. The macros where you can group lights together are good for turning them off and on, but don’t work for setting them all to a particular colour. It seems you can’t have very detailed macros. The final thing that drove me to this review, however, is that an un-skip-able ad now appears for a Christmas discount whenever you open the app. You have to wait ~8 seconds before you can close it. This leaves you standing in the dark until the ad has finished before you can turn your lights on… I understand the ad will probably be removed after Christmas, but nothing was stopping the developers showing it in literally any other format than a full screen ad that you have to wait to close.

The widget disappeared after an iPhone update, is this getting replaced?

Bulbs enter pairing mode but don't pair. Absolutely maddening! It's not a user error; I have several set up from more than 12 months ago, but new bulbs (in new lights or to replace old bulbs) simply don't work.

I’ve just got my bulb and it works! It fits perfectly in my lamp, but I dont know how to change the colour and brightness.

Difficult to find group function. If you power then off… then totally screwed. Connection and app is very flakey.

Would just constantly flash wouldn't connect tried everything nothing would let it connect wouldn't buy again

i like it a lot very entertaining for my childish mind but it’s not letting me access the light to change it anymore it says the app needs an update but when i try to update the app it says it’s the newest version so i’m unable to make my light bright again

the actual light is good and it works but the app is so bad. it takes so many tries/refreshes to get it to actually load and not freeze. very frustrating.

I cannot set it up- I click on the bulb type in the Wi-Fi password and it just doesn’t connect. I did everything it says

These so called smart bulbs from avatar are by far the worst and most aggravating smart device I’ve had! I’ve owned them for a number of years now. All the other brand bulbs/plugs etc are no trouble at all! But avatar ones…oh wow! They’ll drop off randomly every so often and then are a nightmare to get going again and as for connecting to a new router. HORRENDOUS! Again every other device has reconnected no problem! But not these useless things from this brand. DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS!!!! You will regret it!! Years of problems. Stick to Phillips etc!
