Cync (the new name of C by GE)

The app is really great! I haven't tried the routine option, but everything else works well and looks nice. Setting up a new device is super easy and quick, especially once you've added your wifi password. The only thing I wish they had was a widget for the home and lock screen. I was a bit surprised and disappointed that it wasn't there. But it's not a big deal since it only takes a couple of seconds to access the controls when you open the app.

This app, it just doesn't work right most of the time. Here's what usually happens: I open the app, then have to log in again. Next, even after logging in, the app can't connect to my lights. So, I close the app, open it back up, and then I have to wait for it to find my lights before I can finally turn them on or off. I once tried setting up automations to help me wake up, but that turned into a disaster when the app crashed and I ended up late for work. After that, I decided to stop using the automations feature altogether. I attempted to follow their advice by resetting the app cache, but that didn't fix the problem. So, I eventually switched to different smart light bulbs instead.

The lights show the opposite of their actual state. This is confusing because you cannot tell if they are on or off from a different floor or if you're away. The mistakes also appear in the Google Home app. It's annoying that the lights won't turn on or off in either place. But I still use them because voice commands usually function correctly, even when the app doesn't show the right status.

I've been working on this for a while, and I just cracked the code. It was time-consuming but worth it. The only issue now is that I wish the bulb was brighter. But hey, I can always adjust the brightness. I've heard there are brighter bulbs out there that need Wi-Fi connection through a router. However, all I have is my phone. I've seen models that require a router, but I need one that can work with just my phone. Show me all the details about model 3; I believe this one will be compatible with my phone.

Working with this device can be quite a hassle. It takes a lot of effort and problems to get it to function properly. Even after all the struggle, logging in takes too much time. You have to sign in each time you want to control your lights. Additionally, you need to keep your Bluetooth and location on for the app to work. This whole situation is so inconvenient that I end up just turning the lights on and off manually instead.

Just wanted to share that I've been testing out this app, and I really wish the 'Routines' section had a more intuitive design. It took me some time to figure out how to use the clock and photo toggles at the bottom. I believe there's room for improvement in how these features are set up. I received this product for free to try it out. I find that this app makes it much simpler to connect and control my bulbs using Google Voice Assistant compared to the cheaper ones I bought from Amazon. Setting up and using them has been a breeze with this app.

Oh, I just tried out this new feature in the app and wow, it's super cool with the light shows and music syncing! But hmm, it doesn't seem to be working for me. Update: So, I decided to give the helpline a call, and let me tell you, the guy who assisted me did an AMAZING job. We tried so many things to fix it but finally found a solution—turns out one of the bulbs wasn't updating and had to be manually updated through their system. Maybe that info could help someone else facing the same problem. Anyway, he was really patient and helpful throughout the whole process. Big thanks to him!

The app solved the issue by verifying itself, so now it can recognize the access code provided by the creators. This improvement was made just one day after I mentioned it was a potential problem. The new interface is more user-friendly with the slider and color function added, making it easier to navigate. The developers deserve credit for enhancing the app's accessibility and features. It's still unclear why it started working suddenly, as I didn't take any further action after attempting to input the access code.

The app along with the LED bulbs are just fantastic! You can do so much with the lights with this app. The colors and special effects are a big hit, and you can even have presets for sunrise and sunset! It's really fun to experiment with these features. You can also arrange and group the lights however you like. It would be great if there was an option to schedule the lights to turn on or off at a certain time. Aside from that one little thing, I really believe this app is amazing!
