Lander

I really with you would fix this app to show the proper colours and make it so it could be dimmed and brightened all the way in all colours. It would be an almost perfect product then, it’s a real shame you haven’t updated the app to try and fix these issues, I believe it’s possible.

Stability: The app has randomly turned the lantern on at times. There are synchronisation issues, where the lantern is on and the app says it’s off. Dimming on the app doesn’t reflect dimming on the lantern, requiring the lantern to be turned off and on again from the app to reflect dimming/brightness. Functionality: When trying to change the colour on the app, red appears as purple on the lantern. Usability: Difficult to see the buttons and sliders to interact with on the app when buttons are in the “off” state. Changing the colour by sliding the colour spectrum left and right can accidentally trigger the app switcher/home button capability on phones. Overall: An app that’s less of a companion and more of a burden to your Cairn XL (and other Lander lanterns). Best to learn to use the manual controls on the lantern when out camping.

Takes long time to connect and disconnects afterwards. No point in the app really

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!
