LIFX Widget App Reviews

Its not perfect by any means, but is the fasted method of turning on and off my lights. DEVELOPER, if you are reading this, I recommend making this tweak: As of now, you have to include a light level button to a bulb in order for it to show up in Notification Center. It should be that just by adding a bulb, it shows up in the Notification Center with an on and off switch that turns the lights off to 0% and on to 100% brightness. Add this and the app would be far better, allowing a neater Notification Center widget.

I used this as an extension and look forward to its use as an apple watch app. But its too annoying to have to select a light then toggle it on and off. Please just make it a button that only changes states from on to off. I know its not much of a difference but makes using the widget and watch app so much easier

You can always tell a cheap iPad app when it only works in portrait mode.

Dont waste your money on this, or LifX bulbs in general. It sucked before, worked well for maybe a month at most, and now doesnt work at all. You can see from the description that a fix has been coming "ASAP" since the beginning of April, and its now the middle of July. The only thing that pisses me off more than this crappy widget is the fact that LifX hasnt implemented such a thing into the official app, but they are obviously incompetent when it comes to app design. The official app JUST got iPhone 6 and 6+ support, nearly 8 months after their release. Its a shame to see cool hardware crippled by abysmal software.

Why doesnt it sync with the lifx main app what is the code im copying supposed to go to, and why am i generating it, waste of money, at least for me

Worked well for a little while, the update is ridiculous. Very lame to have to spend so much time trying to get this to work

Why cant I have JUST my scenes in the widget? My scenes already point to which bulbs turn on etc. That should be an option. I personally dont care about about adding individual lights and colors and brightnesses to the widget b/c I dont use it. I only use my scenes. Yet you force that feature to show in the widget making it useless and ugly.

I followed the install steps, but the widget doesnt work. I want my money back!!

Setup was easy enough. And the widget works fast and its customizable. Exactly what I need. The low reviews almost made me not get this, but again it works fine.

Sometime last week LIFX updated their bulbs automatically. Immediatly after that, the widget quit loading. I deleted it and reinstalled, and now it crashes every time I try and connect it to the bulbs. Too bad, loved it when it worked. Just gonna have to be patient while things work themselves out. Fingers crossed that happens soon. Update: App updated, works like a charm again. Only took three weeks... Update 2: Down to 3 stars Been a week since iOS9 release, no update. Its like these Devs dont care about an actual working product. Its always something with LIFX... Doesnt work as often as it does, my light switch is 100% reliable, and didnt cost nearly $100. Think Ill look into Hue lights, they seem to work consistently.
