SKYVIEW™

Nice looking desk lamp. The colors on this are really nice…when it works. The app doesn’t respond well to the lamp itself. I’d avoid this product until they figure out how to make a decent app.

App never works so you can’t use the light! Very frustrating to have an expensive Light and not be able to use it due to awful app.

I was really excited for this product, and it’s beautiful, so I bought it anyway despite the reviews about the app. Now that I’ve tried it for two weeks, I can confidently say the app glitches way too much to modify really any settings once set. The auto-off feature also doesn’t work. My most frequent error message is to “try again later”: a catch-all for any edits I try to make. Unfortunately, I do think the bugs are just too much to make the product consistently usable. I’ll probably need to return it.

The app is probably one of the worst that I have ever used. The scheduling functionality is virtually non existent, and completely breaks if you set your bed time to anything after 11:59PM. On top of that, there is no way to manually set the schedule for the light, you can only edit the “auto-on” and “auto-off” times, as well as the sunrise and sunset times. You can’t change the time that it goes from evening (a warm, semi dim light) to night (a very dim red light). If you are going to make an app to control a product that has a schedule with 7 different properties, auto on, sunrise, daytime, sunset, evening, night, and auto off, the user needs to be able to configure the schedule for all 7 of those things, not just 4 out of the 7. Also, there is no way to control the lamp on the fly, you’re pretty much stuck with whatever the schedule gives you. Last thing, I set up two of the lamps with the detailed schedule, and it came back with two different schedules for each lamp. This app is seriously embarrassing. I’ll probably end up returning the product, as there is simply no way to make it work with my schedule, going to bed at 1AM, and waking up at 9AM.

So hard to handle

The app isn’t well designed. It feels like an android app and like someone else made it. The app doesn’t let you adjust brightness, only on/off. When scheduling you have limited control. I’d like to set it to warm light before sunrise starts because that’s how the sun naturally used to come into my room, but the app doesn’t support that. It does not support any Shortcuts actions or Siri/HomeKit. I really wish it did so I could turn it on/off automatically when I leave/arrive and use Shortcuts to set an override mood. You can do the basics with this app but it’s a very poor experience and quite ugly which is disappointing for such an expensive and nice product.

LOVE this product! Since I’ve had my Skyview I’ve noticed a difference in mood, my focus and have been sleeping better! At first I thought, could it be a coincidence but each time I come back to my home desk I feel more balanced almost immediately, amazing app and product!

My wife and I love waking up to a beautiful sunrise each morning…And my wife appreciates that it can let us sleep in on weekends.
