Use to be so good. What happened? – Nanoleaf Smarter Series Review

Ive had my nanoleaf lights for some years now. I stopped using them for about 2 years and decided to get them back up. Holy cow alot has changed and its not for the better. When i first had these lights , easy 5 stars with no connection issues, smooth light transitions, and easily configurable and customizable. Fast forward to now, and these lights have been such a headache. Heres why : 1. CONNECTION ISSUES. I would say 2 out of the 7 days a week, these lights will respond to my phone. The other 5 days, its constant issues. Error messages about not being able to connect. Lights not responding. Connects then drops after 5 minutes . Having to manually configure the lights. Brightness not registering. On and off not registering . Just too much for lighting 2. CUSTOMIZATION. It is so difficult to navigate this app now. All i want to do is choose my color and brightness. But it is almost impossible to do. The customizations are also more limited. Before the update , it was so simple and easy to utilize all the features on this device. Now im not sure if theyve shortened their features or if i just cant find them. Overall too complicated 3. SMOOTHNESS. Back then, i could change the colors and brightness with great smooth response. Now when i adjust anything (from color to brightness) , it is almost like it glitches . The best way i can describe it is like a volume control. If the volume is controlled by a button, you click the button once and it goes up a level. You cant do a half click . Where as if the volume was controlled my a turning nob, you can a wider and more accurate range of volume noise. These light dont have that in between no more . Its like its all preset There are other little things that really made this app fo down in quality , so i hope someday they bring it back to how it use to be. Hope this helps !
