WLED - Official App Positive Reviews
Free and goodI love open source software and use it all the time. Nothing everything needs to have ads and fees. The app functions as it should and I don’t feel as if my privacy is being sold to the highest or even lowest bidder. I use this app to control several LED strips and it works well. My only real issue is the macros for time and scheduling appears not to work. I have followed multiple tutorials and it still doesn’t assign an on off schedule. I have to manually turn my lights off. Unsure if the update broke the function or what?? Other than that it’s great. Thank u for offering free apps for the community! Especially In This economy. I will continue to donate here and there.ShhhhomeyVersion: 7.1
Really Well DoneI’m going to remove a star because it doesn’t have any new features. It would be AMAZING if you could add the ability to listen and react to music picked up by the iPhone speaker! Now that you have a native build you should look into adding that..Pistol345Version: 1.1
Works flawlesslyThis app is perfect as a companion app to access wled devices..DomoritzVersion: 7.0
Super easy to get runningThe app worked great for me right off the bat. Everything was very intuitive and easy to set up. Updating wled to the latest beta was effortless. It did take me a second to realize I had to mess with some settings to use the dedicated white channel on my led strip. I had to enable the slider for dedicated white in user settings or select an option in the auto-calculate w channel from RGB in LED preferences. This could’ve been better explained. Fortunately Wled project has all the necessary docs where everything is explained..Beghe falcoVersion: 6.1
Update breaks it - beta worksI was using the app and it was functioning ok. When I updated the app pretty much everything broke. I couldn’t access any presets, the effects weren’t listed and I couldn’t even view a color wheel to pick colors for the lights.
When I switch to beta, everything went back to normal. I think the update should be rolled back..WendeeLynneVersion: 6.1
Sound react option not thereApp is buggy and slow both for pc i feel like the interface is bad design. I installed WLED but the sound settings is not there I’m not sure. Why can you please help?.College football playerVersion: 6.1
Fantastic!I only just found out about this version of the app, and am blown away at how much more responsive and stable it is. Looks cleaner and more modern as well. Thank you so much for giving this to us. :).BruxxxusVersion: 6.1
Works greatDoes all the basic functions I need without a broken UI trying to use WLED on my phone. I haven’t tried any of the advanced stuff but tbh I’ll just do all that on my pc anyways!.CastironhomieVersion: 6.1
Just works out of the boxI had to update my WLED application and when I did, I found this WLD native application out of the box it connected to my WLED controller and function perfectly.Timmy2FishVersion: 6.1

Used to work flawlessly before update for meNever had an issue with app before. I was having some shorting issues which I thought updating would solve. Long story short, I fixed the shorting issue and the lights work as they should since the macros are on a schedule but the app is now unusable. Won’t load the UI and when it does it gives me an error and then kicks it back out to the main screen. I’ll wait a few seconds and then the lights appear online again and I’ll click again and it’ll error out.
Two of the errors I keep getting were “Syntax error: the string did not match the expected pattern.” The other was “Type error: undefined is not an object. (Evaluating e.no.on)”
I’ll have to investigate if a wipe and re-install will fix but since the lights are working on their own now I’ll wait until it goes down..Jaysix22Version: 6.1
Slow StartTakes a LONG time to get used to but it is a good app.
Issued: randomly turns on or off, no true timer or schedule, confusing interface, effects change the set colours
What I would like to see: a simple interface with a switch to an advanced interface.It's me there chiefVersion: 6.1

WLED - Official App Negative Reviews
It wants to be great, but it’s not goodI can’t even say that the app is “good”. It’s pretty crappy. And with how much I paid to have these lights installed it would be great to be able to actually use the functions properly. The time and macros section does not work at all. It is constantly changing the preset that it is on all on its one to the basic bright white which I don’t like at all and it shows there is an update that will not update after more than a month of trying almost daily. It would be nice if it worked. It would be nice if you could control your lights with out being connected to your WiFi, like when you’re away from home…. Overall I would never use the app if I didn’t have to and it definitely would have made an impact on my decision to have the bosso lights installed if I would have known how ridiculous this app is to deal with.PorshaRoseVersion: 6.1
Absolute garbageI only gave it 1 star because it doesn’t let me give 0. Once the app opens, it wont allow me to change anything within the app. When I attempt to toggle between tabs to change the light color or effects the app doesn’t even pretend to respond 95% of the time. The other 5% the screen will change to an incomplete list like it’s actually trying, and then freeze up. Nothing changes this or improves it. I’ve exited out of all other apps. I’ve turned my phone off and on. I’ve deleted the app and redownloaded it.
Nothing works. Absolute garbage..Disgruntled customer6Version: 2.0
In theory good, but not.There are many things to like about this app, as you are given a lot of flexibility. However, I am never able to connect to my LEDs. And it doesn’t help that they randomly turn on as well. When that does happen, I can’t turn it off because I can’t connect..ThdurvnVersion: 6.1
Update ruined everythingThis app and wled integration with my esp8266 worked great flawless actually until it gave me the option to update that I did. It totally ruined everything my wled randomly disconnects, it doesn’t have the preset colors anymore, sometimes it won’t even show the device is even working. Thought this was a fix.FrankayeboyVersion: 5
Very glitchyGoes offline from time to time. It also shows all my devices offline when they are not.. Very weird. At first I thought it was my devices. I can log into them from my desktop, then switch to this app and most if not all the time, depending on which way I hold my mouth they are off line or unreachable… geeze.Jgiz1Version: 6.1
Doesn’t workI paid $250 for my lights a couple years ago but all the sudden this app stopped picking up the signal of my plugged in lights a few months ago and now they don’t work. The only way to connect is through a IP address but how am I suppose to figure out the ip address of led lights?.StargirlskyVersion: 6.1

FrustratingWill only connect when I’m in my home. What is the point of being able to control lights remotely if you have to be in your house to do it? Also, this does not connect often even when I am in my home.
