Just Awful – ilumi app Review

I write this review mostly to encourage the company to finally release its new app (which was promised last week) or at least provide transparency as to why it's still unavailable after myriad delays. As previous reviews have indicated, the current app is a clunky, barely-functional mess that unreliably completes its most basic, essential task: turning the lights on and off. 90% of attempts to do so end with only some of the bulbs responding, requiring multiple retries to achieve the desired result. Bulbs regularly lose connection when turned on and off at the switch, prompting a laborious repairing process. The other "experiences" are somewhat-to-mostly broken. The "Circadian" setting functions correctly until the final hour when it gets mysteriously brighter. The "Rise & Shine" feature ceased to work after a recent firmware update. I've never reliably been able to use the "Music Sync" or "Torch" modes. It's a start up and probably a very small team, but if they want to compete against the big boys in this space (Philips, LIFX, etc.), they need to try harder.
