The app is pointless

The app’s interface is absolute garbage and so is the Wi-Fi connection feature to connect to the light. While I’m able to connect to one light, there is no way to connect to multiple lights. Other reviews have pointed out the same thing and I was hoping that this issue had been fixed. The app shows different channels, but there is no way to set the lights to a specific channel and have them all connect since they each have their own Wi-Fi signal. I’ve also heard. About being able to slave the other lights to the master, but the lights that I purchased don’t have any kind of mode button or a way to know which one of the three lights is a master.. If you just bought these lights and can return them, do it and save yourself the headache.

Wow!

I paid nearly $400 for a set of these a few years back. I only recently opened them to try using for live streaming. I can’t find ANY helpful information how to get them to work properly. Tried BOTH these GVM mobile apps. I’m just SHOCKED for the cost they are not more user friendly. The connection making its own wifi? Seems just like a bad design. I am stuck with one color brightness and no way to navigate or use different “effects” as advertise on that page in the menu I can’t switch from “Lightning” Very disappointed I thought I had some high quality lights put up for when I needed them.

Developer Response ,

Some past styles have some newly added features that cannot be displayed on the app. If you need help, you can contact online customer service in the app and leave a message about your issue for assistance.

The App Makes the Lights Worthless

When I picked up the GVM 50RS lights, I was excited to begin creating with them!

I mounted them up on a truss since they would be accessible with the app!

Well, they are completely worthless since the app is the single worst user experience I have ever had to deal with. 45 minutes of refreshing WiFi, changing networks, restarting my phone and tablet, all trying to get this app to work.

And the worst possible outcome is if you get the lights to turn on…because then you have to do the same wrestling for almost an hour to get them to reconnect so you can turn them off.

It’s truly bewildering how something so common (remote connection to a light) is so utterly broken. If I could return my lights, I would… but they are actually worth less than nothing since they cost me client’s time and money.

I actually threw these in the trash and ate the loss. Avoid at all costs.
