It might seem like a First World problem that I can’t just get up and switch the lights on and off manually, but because of where my lights are positioned it’s very, VERY inconvenient to do so. If only this app were a reasonable alternative. It’s not. Instructions for my lights say that the app should have a Switch Device setting option. It doesn’t. There’s a channel selector, but apparently that’s not relevant to my lights, so why does that appear? And there’s a headset icon that, when tapped, just locks up the app for 30 or so seconds. Of course, I echo the complaints of other reviewers: it’s extremely frustrating that each light needs to be on a separate ad hoc network to be controlled. I’ll go further and say that it’s ridiculous for these lights to be controlled over an ad hoc network instead of by Bluetooth. Changing networks three times to simply turn them on and return to my Internet connection (and doing it again to turn them off) leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Finally, let me just suggest to the developer that they pay a small stipend to somebody for whom English is their first language and clean up the app.

The app’s interface is absolute garbage and so is the Wi-Fi connection feature to connect to the light. While I’m able to connect to one light, there is no way to connect to multiple lights. Other reviews have pointed out the same thing and I was hoping that this issue had been fixed. The app shows different channels, but there is no way to set the lights to a specific channel and have them all connect since they each have their own Wi-Fi signal. I’ve also heard. About being able to slave the other lights to the master, but the lights that I purchased don’t have any kind of mode button or a way to know which one of the three lights is a master.. If you just bought these lights and can return them, do it and save yourself the headache.

Please overhaul this app; it's unreliable, connecting inconsistently. It's frustrating to wait for a stable connection or reconnect to WiFi. Why should I need this much patience for it to function? Invest in redesigning this outdated app. Allocate more funds and hire skilled developers. Realize the app's antiquity and consider adding a convenient home Screen widget for quicker light control access, or at least offer a purchasable remote.

App was connected to iPhone 14 Pro Max an did not work I put the light panels away an something said try on the iPad Pro 12inch 6 gen it worked on this device. So I tried the other light it worked as well. App developer check for iPhone connection

When I picked up the GVM 50RS lights, I was excited to begin creating with them! I mounted them up on a truss since they would be accessible with the app! Well, they are completely worthless since the app is the single worst user experience I have ever had to deal with. 45 minutes of refreshing WiFi, changing networks, restarting my phone and tablet, all trying to get this app to work. And the worst possible outcome is if you get the lights to turn on…because then you have to do the same wrestling for almost an hour to get them to reconnect so you can turn them off. It’s truly bewildering how something so common (remote connection to a light) is so utterly broken. If I could return my lights, I would… but they are actually worth less than nothing since they cost me client’s time and money. I actually threw these in the trash and ate the loss. Avoid at all costs.

I’ve been trying to connect my lights for the past 4 hours without success. I regret buying these lights cause this app is garbage and no one seems to be working on it.

I paid nearly $400 for a set of these a few years back. I only recently opened them to try using for live streaming. I can’t find ANY helpful information how to get them to work properly. Tried BOTH these GVM mobile apps. I’m just SHOCKED for the cost they are not more user friendly. The connection making its own wifi? Seems just like a bad design. I am stuck with one color brightness and no way to navigate or use different “effects” as advertise on that page in the menu I can’t switch from “Lightning” Very disappointed I thought I had some high quality lights put up for when I needed them.

It doesn’t even attempt to connect I’ve watched many YouTube videos and they all say the same. Please for the love of lights fix this

A connection hints will pop up at startup. Follow its steps, and I can quickly control my light. Thank you

Just connect the mobile phone to WiFi, and my light can be controlled.
