Poor

This app crashes when ever I tap anything under support. I just want to know if I can connect it with my echo dot.

Utterly useless - not ready for prime time

I'm not sure what the point is of having lighting controlled by an app on my phone that only lapses into doing whatever it wants to do the instant my phone is out of range. Yes, while I'm right next to my Bolt I can change color, brightness, and turn it off. And that's the biggest problem - turning it off. If I'm standing right next to it with my phone I can turn it off. Take the phone out of range and it turns itself back on. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but when I turn something off it should STAY off until I turn it back on. Sadly, that just does not seem possible with the Bolt light and Misfit Home app. Returning mine today.

Pleasantly surprised

After receiving the Bolt for Christmas I was at first disappointed at the fact I was given a "smart lightbulb". But after getting this thing plugged in and synced to my phone I wish I could have more. I must have gotten lucky with a good bulb and app connection because after reading all of the other reviews I haven't experienced any of the issues people are talking about. My bulb has never lost connection unless I made the mistake of going and flipping the light switch instead of using the app. So far, so good with the current version of the app.

Not sure why people don't like it

I've noticed a lot of negative reviews about this app and the bulb, but I've had it for six months so far and it works great.

Love the app and connected Bolt bulbs. Use the Sunrise function daily - it's terrific. Many improvements since this was launched - look to the newer reviews! ?

Works well

I don't usually have issues with the app. I heavily use the widget and it works great (for the last update I had to reboot my phone for the widget to work again)

I want to love this but...

There are a lot of oversights that make it considerably less useful. I love that it will wake me up to a sunrise but what if I don't want my bedroom to look like part of a red light district at 5:30am? What if I want the light to slowly but surely get brighter? Why can't I make my own wake up scene? Same with the gradual dim sleep timer– this would be fantastic EXCEPT that it doesn't dim from the level of brightness my bulbs are set at. Nothing impedes winding down for the night like having my 20-50% brightness suddenly double just so it can gradually dim (often at a weird rate, depending on the time you put in. Haven't figured it out all the way because its not that useful as-is). I wish I could control these from multiple iOS devices, I did find a workaround by putting a Link in the rooms that I have bulbs in (so essentially, I'm back to having a switch/tiny remote.. Sigh). Also, why do I have to update all bulbs? Why can't I pick and choose based on which ones I'm near? Update: I wrote this review a year ago. Nothing has been fixed. Let's talk about switching scenes: if I go from one scene to the next, suddenly it's at full brightness? Regardless of what my bulbs were at before? Seriously, I bought these bulbs (only 3 of the 4 still work, btw) so that I could control the level and temperature of light based on how awake or focused I needed to be and it's counter-productive at this point. I'm switching to Phillips Hue.

Love the App!

Works flawlessly after connecting to Bluetooth. I use it at night when watching TV. Use the Sunset mode. Love that I control with my iPhone or iPad. Great App!

Bolt Crazy

Overall a great lite. Wish they had more preset color settings. Not good for use with upwards facing lamps because of the design of the bulb. Puts out good lite though. Went crazy after my first one and have a total of five now. Looking to get more as long as they keep improving the app and device features.
