Govee!!!. This app has completely saved my life during this year of pandemic. I have really learned to enjoy the simplicity and complexity of this app and it’s shortcuts and flawless speed. After trying every other LED brand nothing compares to govee. Just, stop reading and save yourself some time and just download. You won't be disappointed; atleast I was not:)

Great system but app could be better. First of all, I only came across Govee, I’ve been a long time Philips hue user but I have to say, I’m very impressed with what they have to offer. Maybe I’m only getting used to the app but on the rope light, I feel the settings aren’t very user friendly. I am tech savvy. I’m sure I’ll figure it out but it will take a bit of time I guess. So far my only issue is on the scenes. If I have to edit one lighting scene, I must start adding them into groups? Then it won’t allow me to just add one, I have to go through each category and add more, all this just to reduce the speed. Then, after that when I go back, all the other ones are gone! Look maybe, I’m not used to the Govee app yet but still, if it doesn’t seem easy the first time, please will get turned off. Philips hue app is much easier, cleaner and you can edit each light and each scene with ease. Hopefully this will get better over time as. I will 100% recommend these lights. Have the set up the curtain and hexagon ones now!

Fantastic Product, app has a learning curve (automation issue). As stated above, I purchased 150ft of the Govee Permanent Outdoor lights for the holidays and while the lights themselves are fantastic, the app is a tad challenging to use at first. (I originally rated this app 3 out of 5 until I figured out what caused the issue stated below.) For a while I was having an issue with the “Automation” setting. (Had the lights programmed to go on at sunset and turn off at sunrise). And while they’d turn on right on time, they’d shut off randomly around 2am or so. After awhile I learned that when I linked Govee to Alexa, Alexa used it’s “hunch settings” (programmed to turn lights off when it thinks the user is asleep) to override the settings in the Govee app. Once I turned that setting off, the Govee lights and app have been working flawlessly! If any of you are having this issue, try turning the “Hunch setting” off in the Alexa app! Hope this helps someone!

Govee Smart Home. Govee is one of the best products I’ve used. I absolutely love their aura lamp, which fills my pretty big bedroom beautifully. Their smart home app makes it even easier to control my strip lights, allowing me to turn them off to save energy automatically! Highly suggest you buy their product and get their smart home app for the best integration and features

One of the best Smart Home ecosystems I have seen. I have 2 Govee heaters, two sets of leak detectors, and a light string. The app is a joy to use: intelligent layout, full-featured, notifications that push, attractive graphics. Govee clearly sees the importance of getting fit and finish right, with a diverse range of products at very reasonable prices, to incentivize staying within their product line. I’m a fan.

Temperature monitoring. I’m using the smart thermometer and hygrometer sensors to monitor freezer temperatures. The data are easy to view and track. I like that it allows me to set temperature alarms. However, the app requires that you set an alarm range versus only a max or min. The min temperature you can set the range to is -4F which is higher than some of my freezers run. Since I’m only concerned with high temperatures, it would be nice to disable the low end alarm or be able to set it lower than -4F (even if the thermometers are not calibrated in that range). Other than this minor complaint, the system is working well on tracking the temperatures. Set up was easy and I am able to have the WiFi gateway two floors above where my freezers are located with no issues.

App kept crashing after I updated it and then fixed it!. I updated the app and it was literally unusable because it crashed every time I opened it. I reported an issue in the app and they fixed it quite fast. It only took two days to fix it, like completely update the app. I’m VERY happy with the customer support. I’ve never had better customer support before. Now I can change my RGBIC lights without it crashing! Totally recommend Govee now!

AMAZING. This app and the community of Govee along with their products are spectacular. The app allows you to customize so many things on your lights and adds a fun way to making your experience that much better. The Dreamview options and DIY option are my favorite because you can make your own “light show” and for example, I wanted my Aura light to give off a lava lamp effect so I DIY’d my own lava lamp scene and it’s become my favorite to use every day and other Govee members really enjoy it as well! I really enjoy Govee and highly recommend their app and their products. You have to download their app to get the most out of most of their products! Thanks Govee for being an amazing Brand. -Govee Fam, B C R U N K (Brit)

Please fix Speed setting. The speed slider is not stepped gracefully. If I set a light to do a gradient, the slider fully to the left means 0, with no colors changes. If I set it the the smallest move to the right, it changes colors every 2 seconds, which is too quick for the slowest setting. Further to the right is just laughable and faster than anyone would ever use. Please fix this across the app. I’ve read online comments that this has been broken for years. This was one of the reasons I bought your product and you are dropping the ball compared against your largest competitor.

A consistent and reliable product.. In trying to find the best behind the TV light experience in 2013 I stumbled across Govee. Not to sound like a commercial, but my experience with the camera over the TV Technology I was amazed on the experience I was looking for. since then I’ve moved on with other projects throughout the house. My next move is to incorporate the whole house humidifier. Thanks Govee for the experience and the accountability.

Overly complicated settings and can’t do basic things, right. Govee is a company that is constantly trying to do too much. You will buy their products and before you know it, they stripped them of settings and features inside of the app. The app itself tries to do too much and gets overly complicated and yet when you want to do something simple like scheduling, it doesn’t work. I’ve scheduled my outside lights and configured them every night this week only to have them either not turn on when they’re supposed to or not turn off when they’re supposed to.

Lights are great but that’s it…... Lights are great and have great colors to choose from and all. But the Bluetooth on the device and the searching for the lights on the app don’t work at all. My phone will only turn the lights on and off for about a week before it starts saying “failed”, even tho I’m right next to the device with the phone right by it. It’ll still not connect to it. So I have to unplug the lights, forget the device and retry to pair it again. I’ve had to do that many many many many many of times and it’s getting ridiculous. When I want my lights on they should just turn on but no I have to wait for it to find the device (which takes forever) then it just doesn’t find the device at all so I keep trying and trying just to give up and sit in the dark. Bluetooth is crap on the app and doesn’t connect to your devices. I mean it will for about a week then you have to repair it again. Have fun doing that for months. I tore my lights down and I’m sticking with lights that plug in and I can turn on by a button.

Govee Tv backlight 3 lite. The lights are amazing! Excellent quality and look great… only complaint is that I cannot get the app to connect to the network… I was able to calibrate the light strip however when it came to connecting to wifi and calibrating the camera, It always failed to connect to camera and would not connect to wifi no matter what… I even put my entire eero network to 2.4 and it still wouldn’t find or connect to my network even when entered manually….

Love the interface love the products.. I’ve never been happier with my experience with Govee. I currently have their outdoor lights, Bluetooth bulbs, WiFi bulbs, the rice cookers space heater, and ice maker. All absolutely phenomenal in design and quality. I’m a big functionality person and they always seem to hit the mark. The app is incredibly user friendly and, although I’ve never contacted their customer support, it’s a testament to the app and product quality that I’ve never had to. Only complaint is I wish there were more products to buy lol. I have an air purifier in my cart but would have loved have bought my security cams, water cooler, vanity mirror and bathroom vent fan/light, etc through Govee. Keep up the great work folks.

Outdoor Lights. I have a total of 6 sets of the 48’ multi-color Lynx Dream Bulb string lights and 4 sets of the multi-color Flood Lights. These sets range in age between 2-3 years and have withstood some nasty weather yet every year they work as expected. Although I have had some difficulties with the transmitters not wanting to link up right out of the box and one 48’ string half the lights did not work, but Govee support has been there to help. Tough, easy to use, and beautiful for a good price. Go with Govee. BTW… Using these lights in combination we’ve won our neighborhood Christmas light decorations contest 2 years running!

Automation doesn’t work. I’ve had the outdoor permanent lights installed for about 3 weeks now & love them, but the automation feature of the app doesn’t work… Will not turn the lights on or off…It would be helpful to be able to set a different scene for each timer in the “timer section”, as I use them (2nd timer) for security/accent lighting when the Christmas lights turn off… This is also where the automation feature not working comes into play….

I love my Govee Lights but.... I got some govee lights for christmas about 3 years ago and never got the time to open them and actually use them. So today I finally put them up. I have the H1640 lights to be specific, which I now know are not compatible with the app. I was under the impression that I should be able to use the app and have the amazing features given, but I can't. I received a card that prompted me to download the app that cant use. It would be 4-5 stars if it actually was compatible with the lights. Please sometime in the future can they become compatible?

Need speed control. Hello. I’ve reached out to the fb group and was told to come here. A lot of users including myself would like to use the preset scenes that are available through the app however some scenes with the lights flashing like let’s take “Christmas” for instance. The scene flashes the lights too rapidly. If I had epilepsy, it would probably send me into a seizure. So let’s make an update to the app to allow control of how fast or slow the speed of the scene is. Just like controlling brightness there should also be a control for speed. Thanks guys. Keep up the hard work.

Would love to see more. I have been surfing through the smart home apps and products. I have landed here with Govee after several product tryouts and working with customer service. I now mostly have Govee. Over all the products work well and the sync well. Using the app can be a little clunky though. With tap to runs being on, I love they can run on Siri, I do not love I have to create the shortcut in your app. This prevents chaining a few together. We should be able to make tap to runs into widgets as well! The widget control does leave room for desire. It’s only a basic on off button, which is not accurate. If the device is on, the widget might show it’s off. To actually turn it off you have to turn on the widget so they match, then turn it off with a second tap.

Disappointing loser. I was really excited to purchase my Govee TV BACKLIGHT 3 LITE. Well unfortunately it turned my whole weekend into weekend at Bernie’s! My family I sat around like a bunch of dumb dead idiots when the app the lights and the whole nine yards sucked. It wouldn’t hook to Bluetooth and then if it did there was quickly yet another problem. Maybe you guys should stick to one product and then you could possibly get one that works. Maybe make an all girl team or something because obviously the men don’t work there. .. maybe you should your local 7th grade computer class a shot they could do better

So much to love. I thought I loved Govee products…a lot! However, I’ve never used an app with so many layers. The community section is absolutely beyond measure. Everyone is so helpful and friendly, it’s like having a secret second family. The user interface is amazing. I honestly can’t wrap my head around it. It’s like the mega-minds at Govee have thought of it all, until they release something newer and better. I’m so glad I chose Govee and their banging app! Sincerely, “ Blinded by the Lights” 🫶🏼

How about fixing the thermometers and the batteries?. So this has been a problem for the last 4 1/2 years, ever since I got the various thermometer/hydrometer sensors. The sensors work great. This cluttered app on the other hand, not so much. But one issue that I have brought up time and time again since 2020 still exists. Notifications for dying batteries are haphazard at best. Take tonight as an example. My app told me that one of my sensors had 20% battery left and that I should replace it soon. I look at the sensor on the wall and it’s dead. And it has been apparently dead for 11 days. And I know you’re probably thinking that this could be a battery issue. Well over 4 1/2 years I’ve had the opportunity to try many different brands and it’s just the same each time. I am pretty much forced now to use a multimeter to periodically test the batteries in all 15+ devices in an attempt to find the batteries that need to be replaced. this seems to be like something that’s so easy to fix. Battery voltage reads this? Send an alert.

excellent app. this is a well put together platform. seems like the Govee company wants to create a community of lightning enthusiasts that can all come together. brilliant idea. great for business, great for the community = win win. check it out. if you don’t like the govee app or govee lights then your world is black and white, or gray, i suppose it can be gray to! either way……..

HOLY CRAP. I’m literally speechless, I never leave reviews but I had to. THIS COMPANY IS SO UNDERRATED! I bought some lights from them like 6 months ago and their products have been amazing, but omg this app is literally a game changer. Like how in the world do you guys make an app with so many feature I didn’t even think were possible 😂it’s insane. Definitely gonna buy some more after seeing what’s capable with this app.

Home lighting control. I started using the GoVee lights about a year ago. I have a 60 year old home and so automation has to be on a network. I started with just some of the light bulbs too see how they worked. The recess lights were easy to install and I found that programming was easily done. The directions were easy enough to follow and grouping them together was not too difficult. I was then able to network with my Alexa easily and set up the commands. The hardest part now is just trying to remember what I named each group. I definitely need more of the lighting to make the rest of my home a more enjoyable experience.

Great App, keeps improving. Have about 20 Govee devices now and at first the app left a lot to desire. It seems to improve every time I open it. It’s still a bit difficult to navigate but the amount of improvements and customization that they are implementing makes that something that’s worth dealing with. 4.5 out of 5

Not just LEDs. You may think opening a box from Govee that it’s just a strip of leds and nothing more. You would be highly incorrect. Govee is a lifestyle that can be the most fun you have installing and enjoying how a simple led can really change your mood and way of thinking how to decorate the place you call home. This app is the gateway to a wonderful world of light and home automation. The way Govee has laid out the controls for their products is very intuitive and made simple. But still being able to produce what looks like hours of programming into an amazing light show. And not just the lighting controls are in this app. If you have any other products that Govee has made, all the controls for those are here too. Simple, easy, done right.

Govee is easy and fun. I enjoy bringing color into my life. I’ve purchased bulbs and string lights the air purifier and plan to get the dehumidifier. It’s nice having everything on one system. My only gripe is I’ve come across the issue with the bulbs on a dimmer. The home is a rental so that is something I can’t change. Apparently other brands can function on a dimmer. Otherwise I live govee products

Work well with app and lots of colors to choose from. Long time user of another brand of well known smart bulbs but wanted to try these out since they are much less expensive and seem to be sold everywhere. Install and integration of lights to wifi and app was simple. The only issue is that the app is a bit confusing with so much going on. I will figure it out soon. Happy overall with price, availability and options. I might convert my house to this brand eventually as the other is very pricey and are sometimes hard to find.

Govee App & Products are THE BEST!!!. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOVEE APP and ALL OF the GOVEE products line! It is so much more than just “smart LED lighting”! This APP does take a little more getting used to than others that I have used in the past, it does have a few “quirks” that could be fixed.. BUT IT OFFERS SO MUCH MORE than just lighting! There is a entire community of people on the app as well that share content & are ALWAYS willing to help if you have questions about anything- Govee’s customer service is second to none in their response time and fixing any issues. In this app you can connect all of your Govee products together to react and dance together! I have spent so much time playing with the different scenes and options, and enjoying engaging with the Govee community! In the app/community you can also earn points to go towards new products- win prizes - be a co-creator/tester for new products! The possibilities are endless!! Just GO FOR IT - You WONT REGRET IT!

Obsessed. I used to have a different brand of smart lights (sengled) that worked fine but all of a sudden wouldn’t sync properly so I decided to try a new brand. I came across Govee because of their wide selection and reasonable pricing. I absolutely fell in love with them! Now I have bulbs, light strips, a fan, tea kettle, etc. They are so easy to use and very reliable, unlike other brands. There is no convoluted syncing process like having to flip a switch quickly a bunch of times. The app picks it up almost instantly and makes all the Govee products seamless to operate/organize. Highly recommend!!!

App won’t update correctly. I’ve used this app for the last 3 years to monitor my greenhouse. Never had any issues even though the battery dies every winter and I change it out in the spring. I’ve been using it for the last 3 days and have been right next to it and the app will register the temp and then the next time I go in it takes me to a reading from a year ago and won’t update until I stand next to the thermometer again which defeats the purpose

Love the humidifier, not the app. Love this humidifier! It is fantastic… has saved my relationship because it has helped with our snoring… and allows us to have essential oils helping us rest and recover, at night. My beef is with the app. Every time I unplug the humidifier to clean it, it no longer connects to the app. I have to we-download the app and reconfigure it, each time. This is a bit more than frustrating when I have to clean it at least every 72 hours. Also, why can’t I save custom color combinations (what good is the saving of specific colors if I have to re-apply them each time I have to reset the system. It is frustrating and I’m likely to just quit using the app rather than deal with this every 3 days.

Govee quality and support. Some may say it’s a bit excessive but I have probably between 20 and 30 different sets of Govee lights in my house, car, and automotive shop and I cannot get enough. In all the sets I’ve bought for myself or others, I’ve only ever had one “bad” light and I immediately contacted customer support and they were so quick to help with what was going on and find a replacement for me. The products are 10/10, the support is 10/10 and the creativity is 10/10 as well.

Terrible app. First thing about the app is they advertise their own products, which I get, but spending anywhere from $30-$100 on a product the app should not have any ads. Secondly, I use the app for maintaining humidity levels. WiFi connection drops constantly and loses the log in info having to reenter it. The humidifiers maximum is 70% which can be problematic for some people using them in greenhouses. I wish you could enter a higher level. Thirdly, The app is clunky and not very intuitive, but it’s not the worst app I’ve ever ever used.

Govee is my favorite brand!. I have about 10 Govee products in my apartment and it is the only brand I will get for lighting. Their app is phenomenal and so is the product quality. I love getting new products from them because it drastically changes the ambience of my home. I recommend to anyone thinking about getting a Govee product!

Automation problem. Love the lights but they have been turning on at incorrect times. For example if I have it set at 8 they turn on at 7. Or even if I have the feature off they still turn on. Another thing is they turn on already at full brightness instead of starting at a lower brightness and ending up at full brightness over the course of 10 mins like mentioned. Is there a way I can fix it??

App is not user friendly. My main issues with the app are: 1. The finger sketch light buttons are way too small. They could really benefit from being wider, so it’s easier to press the one you want. 2. There’s no way to repeat a pattern once you have it added once in finger sketch. Ex: you want repeating Red, White, Blue (RWB). Since you can’t repeat that pattern, you have to manually go RWB, RWB, RWB, RWB, and on and on. Would be so much better if patterns could just be repeated, once one set is created. 3. You can’t edit Scenes or other people’s DIYs. I sometimes like the colors, but don’t want them too move or want to use a different type of movement, but can’t do that in the app.

Limited Programmability. This app is great for scheduling the heater to turn on at a certain time, but there is no way to schedule the heater to turn off automatically. This is a problem because we need the heaters for an otherwise unheated workout room, and if we don’t exercise one morning, yet we forget to enter that room to turn off the heaters, they will run all day, wasting electricity, running up our bill, and potentially causing a fire hazard unattended. We had to return the heaters, and then I deleted the app.

Super easy and full of features. This app is super user friendly and has many features available to you to use and try. The community within the app is wonderful and you can share your creations with each other! The customer service is 10 star service. The company is so community and customer oriented. They listen to what the customers like and don’t like and would like to see. The reach out to their customers to try new products that they developed based off the recommendations of their customers. Govee is the way to go for everything.

Easy as Pie Setup. My double plug smart device is the first automated item that I have that has completed the set up process with as little pain as possible (connection to Alexa included). This device set up instantly—no lag, no loading. I’m really amazed with this product and if I decide to get more smart plugs, I will be getting them from this company.

Love Govee. I have been buying Govee products every chance that I get and let me tell you, I’m not disappointed. I have two of the envisual light strips for both of my TV’s, two standing lamps and a kettle. The app is great to set schedules and get the lights and atmosphere exactly how you want it. Once I move into my own apartment I will be replacing all the lights with Govee bulbs to truly immerse myself.

phenomenal products and application. First of all, I'd like to mention that the application could benefit from some improvements in terms of accessibility for most features, except for the seamless integration with your existing devices. It works really well and you definitely get your money's worth with their products. I've seen a fully equipped house with Phillips, Hugh, and this is the next best thing in my opinion. The colors are vibrant, the scene modes are really cool, and there are plenty of options to customize the settings for individual lights or groups. I'm particularly fond of the dreamview function, which allows multiple lights to synchronize with specific circumstances like music playing or my TV backlight, creating a delightful "surround visuals" experience. Moreover, if you take a look at the patch notes and the interaction from the developers and team directly within the app, it's evident that they are constantly working on innovative ways to improve their products and the app itself. I highly recommend committing to their line of products if you need intelligent lighting without being forced to shell out “go fly a kit” kind of money.

Very good app just a few suggestions…. Ive been using this app for a while now and the improvement you’ve made is amazing! the only things that annoy me still is that the speed bar for diys or modes doesn’t have percentage marks, another thing i recommend is adding a feature where you can create solution/dreamviews just like diys and be able to share them, but besides that stuff 5/5 stars if those were fixed. If you guys do see this and fix it thanks!

Outstanding. I’ve been using Govee products for several years. I own a business and only install products that I’ve tested and I have never had a single problem with any Govee product and I have over a dozen of their products in and out of my home. I would never hesitate to recommend, install or purchase one of their products.

Amazing App and Great Company. I recently moved and when we got to the new place I setup my lights and they didn’t want to connect to my phone. I simply contacted the company telling them about my issue and in no time they responded. They helped me out with letting me know what the issue was and they offered to send new lights. The app works flawlessly and I could not ask for any more. I can do whatever I like with my lights and it’s not hard to do so. I also love the feature where you can use other people’s creations on your own lights and it only takes 2 seconds to do so.

User friendly but scheduling needs WORK. I love the app. It’s visually appealing and easy to use. My only complaint is the scheduling feature. You can setup a “schedule” but you only have start times… Developers please spend more time redesigning the schedule feature to have a start and end time. For example.. I want to be able to set the heater to turn on at 9pm and turn off at 6am. It gets cold at night but I want it to be setup autonomously so I don’t have to turn it on and off all the time. The heater has an ‘auto’ feature but I don’t want to risk leaving it on all day and my house burn down while I’m away.

Worst App Experience. By far the worst App UI and most confusing application I’ve ever had installed. Seems like their is a lot of creation but the app is so dang confusing and nothing walks you through it. The creation process can be much more simplified. I’d immediately fire whoever is in charge of the UI of the app. What a horrible, confusing, waste of time. I’ll never buy another set of these lights ever again specifically due to the app and no remote control provided like the competitors do. Save your time and money and get another product. Also, the Bluetooth function is far worse than WiFi.

Best Option in LED Lights for the Money!. I have multiple Govee products. They are professionaly packaged (think Apple), come with easy to use instructions and accessories. A breeze to install and the App is the game changer. Allowing more options then a Baskin Robins House of Flavors scoop shop. Govee, please keep rolling out new and inventive ways to allow your customers to express our feelings around light 👍🏼

Not intuitive, missing features and a battery hog. I’m a tech person and I find this app to be a nuisance. There also seems to be missing features. I cannot find any way to change the settings of the light strip. The orientation (clockwise vs counter-clockwise) or the camera orientation (top vs bottom) setting is not changeable after setup. What gives? Also, what’s up with the battery usage? I disable background activity for this app, yet it still takes up 10% of my battery usage with 22 hours of background usage (yet only 1 minute on screen). That’s preposterous for an app that controls your backlight on your tv.

RGB individual sliders. Love the app with my led lights and also love the new feature of the lights changing as you move the slider not just when you let go. Was wondering if you could make an RGB mode where you can control the different colours separately

SCAM!. Didn’t even receive the product and has been 100 days sense I ordered it. ITS A SCAM!

Love this!. Love the app! The new updates are great. Is there a way to have more than one device controlling the lights. My housemate and I would both like to control the lights from our respective phones but it only seems to remember one device.

Apple Watch. Love the Govee products, they work great on iPad and iPhone, cannot for the life of me get it to work on the Apple Watch, I am not a novice with these problems, tried multiple instillations phone, watch and visa versa. All I get is the message “ please log into Govee home app on iPhone first for more instructions” . Done that several times and nothing.

It is a cool application but has some flaws. The app is very good and easy to use but it has some stupid features like if you are 1k away for example you can’t turn your led strips on you have to have a Bluetooth connection to them. The app is very polished and easy to yourself when you have a Bluetooth connection but If you are out of the house it will not work and the Alexa skill is not in australia so I can’t youse my led strips with Alexa so they’re is no point if you will youse them with Alexa

Very Good. App is really easy to use optimises the Bluetooth connection well and easy to manage. The well layed format made setting up my Google Home with my lights really easy. Definitely recommend getting these Bluetooth lights as this app has everything it needs. Great stuff 👍

Light are great but it has some major problems. The lights are good quality and have lasted a while but their app has many problems. The app has one of the worst and most cluttered user interfaces that I have used ( although I will give it to them that it has been improved over time but still not enough) and sometimes the light stops working properly. In fact, the latest update has stopped my light strip from connecting to wifi and every attempt through the app with every troubleshooting step keeps giving me errors when trying to re-connect the light strip to the wifi. This has stopped me from being able to control the light strips from other apps and I am forced to go into the app to connect through Bluetooth to use the lights. All in all, great hardware but the software is obnoxious and needs improvement.

Doesn’t work. Watch app stopped working after recent update. Useless

Very average app and hard to use. Do everyone a favour and just connect your devices to the smart life app. All these external apps are just pointless.

RV 1. Live the products, looking forward to purchasing more.

Terrible. Honestly I haven’t tried many other apps to compare to this one but this one is trash. Pop-up ads that inconvenience the controls of devices and the connectivity seems like it varies with the mood the app is in. The hardware products seem okay but the software is terrible for every day use.

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

Needs a timer function desperately. Overall like the lights but the app needs a timer function desperately. Would be nice to just set lights to turn on and off on its on with a timer option. Most other app controlled lights have that function (Even cheaper ones). Please update.

Dreamview T1 backlight. Easy to install and very nice light combination..

Ads. I bought the hardware I don’t want ads

Update broke everything. The update released Nov 27th completely broke all my lights. They don’t connect to wifi and they keep telling my that I haven’t set them up.

Improvements please. I have seen some YouTubers have extra functionality on there app maybe cause it’s US app or what but here in Canada some functions are missing like Flickering, chasing, Rainbow and crossing. I would love and really appreciate gradients in DIY’s as well, And it will definitely deserve 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice and stable but still needs to be more user friendly. I’ve been using the app for several months and I’m satisfied with the connection speed when opening the app. I wish it would be Home kit compatible. Pros: - There is a community where you can download there custom settings - Pretty simple to use. - Dream View is very cool. - Custom is very flexible. Can pretty do anything once you get the hang of it. It is time consuming when you want to really make a wonderful setting. - New AI option is a simple way to same some time for a more basic custom setup. Cons: - we can’t work on DYI setting without changing the setting that is running. - can’t work on making custom setting if the lights are not plugged it. Would be good when wanting to program future DYI projects or just wanting to learn more of the settings. - music interaction only works on Bluetooth.

Great product. A huge upgrade to our lil house in Canada! Easy to install and easy to maintain. Had a couple lights come unstuck and you just simply reapply new 3m double sided tape(that is included with lots of extras for this exact scenario) love they have a timer and the app is very user friendly with so much to offer!! Great work Govee honestly was something I new would be a great success!!

Amusant!. Conviviale!

Exceeded my expectations. This app must have been a big project to develop. I think it’s fantastic! Quite surprised (: keep up the amazing work

False marketing for H6056. The app doesn’t support the LAN option with newer version pf H6056 even though it is marketed as such. It is also in the compatible list but no support for the lan button in the app.

Easy to use app. It has most of the features and functions you want.

Fantastic products - Awesome App a few issues. I love all the Govee products. The app is so easy to use, I’m currently having an issue connecting more light bulbs strings together… only 2 work… I need to plug in 4…. Hope they fix it soon. Seems like a an easy issue to fix

AI bot doesn’t work. I give it a 4 stars because of the really nice customization features but whenever I try to use the AI boy it just keeps saying that the device is offline or the device is not connected even thought it is. My Govee product is the floor lamp

Govee app. Great app, takes a lot of trial and error, but lots of videos and advice online

App won’t work. When ever I try to connect my led lights to this app it won’t find a device for some reason

Battery hog. Easy to use/set up reference being the hygrometers and BT/WIFI interface. Provides notifications of range limits. The main issue is the battery drain when the app is in standby mode(so refresh disabled)

Make a watch Apple app. Make a watch Apple app

Magnifiques. Satisfaisant

Excellent. These are amazing lights and the app is pretty good too.

iOS widgets gone?. Since last update. iOS widgets are gone?

Music settings no longer work after update. Title says it all, I loved these lights for the music setting but after the music sensitivity update it no longer works, tried with 2 sets of the same lights with the same results

Outside lights. Love them

perfect👍👍👍. it works really good in my experience!

meh. the lights work great buuuut no matter what i do i cannot link them to the app through my bluetooth

Help lol. Sooooo no matter what I do I can’t connect my LED lights to my phone. The lights work fine and the app is pretty good I just can’t connect soooo yuh

Très très bon. J’adore les produits Govee, tout fonctionne très bien!!!

Scheduling does not work. If you’re using the app to manually turn on/off items like a heater or lights then it works fine but if you want to set a schedule I would turn to a different company to invest in. We bought a heater and need to schedule it on/off throughout the night in my daughters room and it absolutely does not work. There are always timezone issues or the heater stays on when it’s supposed to turn off. Major issue for me because her room heats up very quickly and we’re not in there to feel it because it’s the middle of the night. We’ve woken up and her room is ~95°F before we realize what has happened. If you haven’t already purchased a Govee item I’d suggest finding a different company.

Jumping. If you make it so I can make the jumping really fast then I will give you a five star review

Big fan. I’ve now got an embarrassing number of Govee products- the staff are great the products are great. They’re really amazing and no I was not pushed to write this

Great. Good stuff easy to use updates with new options all the time.

Très bien. Cool

Easy to use. Love the product lines, have many different designs and styles to add some fun in a discreet manner.

Très efficace. Très bonne app. En peu de temps on se retrouve facilement, on crée, interagit et contrôle tous nos accessoire govee. J’adore!

Amazing App. I find this app user friendly and helpful. I find that the way it’s designed to handle and work to be more efficient effective and responsive used. So many different outlets with community other members that use the platform to share the tools experienced or whatever experience they have about the platform. The response time for customers service is very fast and easy to understand follow up. With this app I can easily speak to other members within the community to help identify and improve with any questions we have. I totally agree understand this app and will definitely recommend anyone who is deciding whether or not they want to get the service and product. Thank you for giving me the community and expertise that the staff has. I appreciate your support Love this app.

Wi-Fi not connecting after the update. It’s working properly before but ever since I updated the app I’m having problems connecting it to the Wi-Fi

Functional App - software issues?. Govee home has been great to use to monitor my son’s bedroom temperature as well as control his space heater. No complaints there. The app has ads which bothers me but I understand why they’re there. My biggest complaint is that widgets no longer work in iOS17. I had it on my Lock Screen so I could easily check the bedroom temp, buy it seems to only work up to iOS16. I no longer have the option to choose Govee as a widget, which is really irritating. Will this be included in a future update soon? I hope so.

The app is a hot mess. I don't care about user profiles and weird attempts at social media. Just make the lights sync to the TV.

Happy. Good app

Fun!!. This app is awesome, I have the lights on the back of my tv and they work great! I definitely recommend. The only thing is that you need to be really close to the tv for the lights to work.

Service. They got great products, if only we could get answers on questions!

Won’t connect to app. I have model h6189 and it won’t connect to the app

Good app. Good app lots of info and settings

Great overall. Occasionally I have to manually resync lights, esp. using the desktop app… but overall love Govee & they keep innovating / releasing new products and improving

Easy to install, easy to use!. Lights and heaters are great. They work well, are excellent quality and installed very easily. Will definitely buy again!

Best out off all of them. My house is pack with various Govee products and out of all the different brands out there, this one is the way to go!!

Good stuff really in joy it !. Have have lots of grove’s product and there all just amazing!!

I like it a lot. I like it a lot

Govee Lights. Great product with ease of use. Set up was a breeze.

Great App. Easy to use and so many features!

Govee. Everything they got is mind blowing and amazing

Worse than 1980’s electronics. If you ever enjoyed had the frustration of trying to pair a 1980’s universal remote, then you will know why I hate Govee electronics.

Govee is the best. The lights are good and the app is amazing!

H5074 Great for humidor!. Update: so this would be awesome if it pushed data to my iPhone at regular intervals. It does not. So it really doesn’t matter if you set the alarms, you will not get a high/low alarm unless you manually sync. If you are manually syncing you don’t need an alert, because you will see it yourself. So the only thing that is good about this unit is that I can manually check the current humidity and temp without having to open my humidor. UPDATE: this unit has always been off compared to two other hygrometers I have. I decided to perform a salt test. After the test, my other two were fine, one at 75% and one at 76%. This Govee unit read 88.6%!!! Off by 13.6%! Unfortunately the app calibration will only adjust 9%, so it always reads 4.6% higher than it really is. Stupid. Please please make the app so it will allow a larger calibration! Honestly 13.6% is really bad, but if I could calibrate it to correct the full difference I wouldn’t care. The app should easily be able to increase from +/- 9% to +/- 15% or 20%. The Govee hygrometer should be better than this but at least I could use it.

Awesome. Awesome app!!!

Love these lights!!!. Amazing easy app love lights my house looks amazing

Game changer. Easy to set, amazing results

awesome. great app

Govee outdoor. Awesome app and great multiple purchases!

Great product. Love it

Excellent App. Govee was running a sale on their thermo/hygrometers, so I bought one to test it out. I was so impressed by the quality of both the hardware and this app that I ended up buying five for the house🤣! What I really like about this app is that it's very organized; all their products appear in a consistent, thoughtful way. It's easy to add new products, and I haven't had an issues syncing my hardware from the app. They update the app often and provide a detailed changelog. Many of their products have cheaper bluetooth-only and more expensive bluetooth+wifi versions. If you buy the bluetooth-only version, you can only sync/control that hardware when you're in range of the device. When you're outside of the range, the device will appear within the app with the most recent data, but you cannot sync or take action on the device. The bluetooth+wifi versions allow sync/control when you're not near the device. (The company is very clear with these limitations, but I've read many reviews where this causes them to remove stars.)

Doest pair.. I bought the mini air purifier and it won’t pair with my WiFi through the app. What a waste of time.

Many things wrong with this app. I have Wi-Fi thermometer and the app never shows the correct network the Wi-Fi thermometer is connected to. Also there is no way to change to am/pm mode for the time that the app logs temperatures this is overall a very poorly designed app I wish there was another one by another company. The technical support does not answer questions that they’re being asked. They only answer basic questions which we already know the answers to. It’s like they are replying from a script. Do not expect any meaningful support from this company. App on a regular basis shoves ads about their own products that take up a quarter of the screen and there’s no way to turn that off. Chinese product, probably Chinese programmers and no possibility of feedback on the products that is guaranteed to be actually reviewed by someone who cares. UPDATE: 2 years later and absolutely no change to the above except I replaced the batteries in the 2 thermometer units with AA battery replacements that plug into the wall outlet. The devices only work for 1 month on batteries. Horrible product. I still have random WiFi network disconnections for no reason where it forces me to reconnect the device to WiFi as if it was brand new out of the box. Purely horrible design that mostly works.

Decent but not great yet. The application is what this review is about. The hardware, switches, logins, WiFi , Bluetooth are all fine and work as expected. The app though has a frustrating bug that only similar type apps have. Launching and using the app it works pretty well. Swipe up on my iPhone 12 PRO MAX to “pause” the app and move on to other uses. If I come back to this Govee app in 15 minutes or more. The app is broken. When I come back to it after 15 minutes and otherwise anytime after that 15 minutes I have two options to get the app to send commands to any of what’s in my account. Specifically on/off function. So to get it working I have to crash the app or reboot the device. Then I open it after crashing or rebooting and bam. Works perfect again. This loop has happened for years. Happens on iPad Pro 11 iPhone 11 iPhone 12 and now this device the iPhone 12 pm. I am willing to send logs if you need or if it would help. It’s frustrating and makes the entire environment you’re trying to create so beyond annoying that it diminishes the experience overall.

Just okay. We just have lights for our house, specifically I use Govee lightbulbs for my bedside lamp. It really has the bare minimum of features. There are a lot of things that I would expect with this kind of app and bulb that are just not met, including: - App does not sync to the world clock - in other words, it didn’t change the time with Daylight Savings and there’s no way I can find to manually change the time, I think I’d have to reset the whole thing or something - The gradual brightness only works with certain settings... “Wake up” doesn’t work with alternative colors or warmth. “Sleeping” changes the lamp settings to a specific scene and you can’t even schedule it. - Also with “Wake up”, an automatic turn off doesn’t work. I use the wake up function in the morning and then wanted it to turn off automatically in case I forgot but it just... doesn’t do anything - there’s no widget for lamps, just for a thermometer I don’t have, so it’s a pain to dig through my apps just to turn off my light (which I have to do because the auto off doesn’t work) - tried setting up Siri and it just didn’t work These are just the things that annoy me the most, it feels like they really didn’t bother actually making the lamp functional or testing it with users. It changes color, sometimes turns on and off, and has a couple extra functions that don’t integrate whatsoever with the rest of the functions. Can’t recommend in good faith.

Disappointing. I had asked for the Govee as a gift with WiFi and two temperature/humidity sensors. I found it a little bit of a challenge to get things to connect over WiFi, but not too bad. I put one sensor inside and one outside between a window and screen. I really like that I do not have to use Bluetooth on my phone and that I can check temp. and humidity from anywhere I have a signal. The first problem I had is that the app will periodically loose the sensors and I have to look up my password and re-login. I also found the help through the app to be not much help, especially when a phone call would be significantly more efficient and effective. So problem is still not solved. Now both sensors report a fault. One then started working. I replaced the batteries on the other and it still showed a fault. So I deleted its connection to add it back manually. Just to find out there are no instructions to add the sensor back manually. I was give these for Christmas 2019. It is now May 3rd, 2020. Needless to say I will not buy more for the rest of my house or recommend to family. Very disappointed.

Shortcuts no longer show in widgets. Latest update broke the ability to have shortcuts show in a widget.

Not functional on iPad. I want a refund for this expensive lightbulb.. Update: they have now fixed the app scaling for the 15in iPad Pro. THANK YOU! I’m now happy with this bulb and the app. Update: this app is now 100% unusable with 15inch iPad Pro. After the update it was crashing on open. I was able to get that to stop by deleting and reinstalling but it’s now impossible to get my light added back in because of the scaling issue. YOU SHOULD AT LEAST REMOVE IPAD FROM THE COMPATIBLE DEVICES LIST IN THE DESCRIPTION. didn’t care about the colors or modes or any of the fancy things this light bulb could do. I simply wanted a bulb that I could turn off from my iPad without having to get out of bed. It was ok at first even though the app had scaling issues. But, Over the last two updates the scaling issue got worse, Now there are connection issues where it does not even connect to the light unless I put the app in the background and reopen it. I’m about ready to see if I can get a refund since the app developers seem to be consistently making the app for controlling these lights worse. A smart bulb is just a very expensive lightbulb without competent app developers. Fix this app for iPad please!

Great app just needs more support. So I got the govee led strips and I connected them to govee home and it was simple and easy, there’s just addition that would be nice and bug, so the bug is when I added a shortcut by long pressing the app(iOS) I saw that there was a shortcut thing so I added it. Now I don’t know if this has anything to do with it but when I go into the app and I see all my devices and click on for one of them it takes a little bit and then says operation succeeded but no lights turned on but when I click it again it works, and I do not own Alexa and do not plan to so I think that it would be great to add in more support for instance the shortcut app like make a shortcut that turns on the lights or changes the colors. Those two elements aside I think you have a great product I would love to see those two worked on.

Don’t waste your money. Another non intuitive worthless thing. Oh, and there’s no instructions or directions.

Excellent Govee Lights. This is the best lights ever I will purchase for more soon . Thank alots and keep up a good work Govee

Kikazz app and products. Super happy with the quality

wish i could use it. the entire privacy policy of this app basically tells you they will rob all of your personal information and sell it to 3rd party. it should be banned from the app store.

The best lights I ever had Super easy to install. The best lights I ever had

Latest update Red is Pink. “?”

Work’s perfectly!. I’m not sure why anyone would give bad stars unless they don’t know how to use it. I mean, nothing is perfect. But I have Govee for smart bulbs, plugs, GOVEE glide, outdoor lights, outdoor plugs, kid night lights overall I think we have like 30-40 items on the Govee App. Things that are on daily timers. They work EVERYTIME! I’ve had so many smart device apps and I’m glad Govee offers so many different type of items to keep it simple for one app. Never had a Govee item stop working. Some items I’ve had for 5 years using on a daily basis. They respond quickly with the app. Some items are Bluetooth, some are Wi-Fi. So I hope people read. From different scene to RGB or RBGIC. My opinion, no issues. From PC, Tablet to iPhone. I do notice the Ipad version doesn’t fit the screen, but it works. So can’t complain. Love Govee, I hope they keep it up.

Was Good, now Great!. Update #2 - This app continues to get better and more stable, as do their products. I have many strip lights and bulbs in my home, one of which stopped connecting to WiFi. Excellent Customer Service! After a few unsuccessful emails to try resetting etc, they are shipping a new one, free of charge. Can’t ask for more than that!!! Update: Since my previous review below this function has been added so you can now control any number of sets of lights together using the scene function. This completes the app for me and is now 5 stars. Shout out to Govee for updating their app regularly and not just abandoning it like lots of others do. This app is overall very good and easy to use and set up, however, it lacks one critical function. You can not link multiple bulbs or LED strips so to change colors or anything you have to do each one individually. It’s unnecessarily painful. There is a work around using Alexa routines but still very tedious. I hope the developer reads this and others similar requests as this would be an easy 5 stars if they added this function.

Lamp. Lamp won’t connect to WiFi

Needs a patch. Recent update broke Siri Shortcuts

Inconsistent battery warning; no notification view. I’ve had this app for more than three years. I use it for only temperature sensors. I have 20 total. And all that time, the app never gives a heads up that the battery levels in my devices, which I have twenty and four different models, is too low. in fact, the app almost always shows the battery levels in each device as being full even though the device itself shows otherwise. For example right now. I was looking at one sensor and the app showed full battery. Out of nowhere, there is an in app pops up notification at the battery level of this device is 0. so in the span of seconds, it went from full to nothing. Being I brought up notifications, the notifications don’t work well. When a notification is sent, the flag on the app icon has a red bubble and usually the number one for a notification. But if I don’t happen to see what the notification is from the banner (sometimes you accidentally close these things in groups, etc), there is no way in app to find out what the notification was. So it sent a notification out but doesn’t have any record of it. I escalated this to support and discovered that this is by design. Fix these two issues and you can easily have four or five stars. but it seems like this app is much more focused on getting you to provide personal information in order to win prizes etc.

Terrible app. Not easy to navigate, app is confusing. Not worth it

Love It!. Best app

Ads, ads, ads. I know the app is free but it’s needed to use their lights that I bought. Why am I bombarded with ads every time I open the app??

So easy to use!. Such great products & so easy touse

Love the brand. Good products; love that they’re reasonably priced & offer user ease and functionality!

IM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY LED LIGHTS. I just received the H619C led lights for my birthday, and when I am trying to sync it it tells me I need a updated version of the app. What does this mean?

App is FULL OF ADS, cluttered, and overly dependent on BlueTooth. This application is chuck full of inexcusable self-promoting product ads cluttering the interface and the app is overly dependent on Bluetooth for many control features acting as if WiFi is incapable of operating the product without a BT connection. BT is a POOR, slow, and unreliable method for connecting and controlling this company’s pricey products. The company refuses to participate in Apple’s, now OPEN, HomeKit IOT platform (they want to blast you with their garish ads in THEIR app) which makes control of their devices solely serviceable via Alexa and Google’s voice AI and this Ad cluttered clunky app. I cringe every time I’m forced to use it knowing I’m going to be blasted with the app’s obnoxious self-promoting ads. The hardware Govee sells is generally well designed but their control infrastructure and app hobble their products. I own 4 Govee products and refuse to purchase any others SOLELY because the this app is so cluttered, awkward and obnoxious.

So far so good. No hiccups on using the app for now.

Yes. Cool

Impossible. Selecting a gradient for your M1 light strip is insane. What is a “work” gradient vs “lively”? There are 10 indecipherable options when I just want to move from one color to the other. The app is made for RGB puberty and then translated by AI the night before the HS programming class project was due.

iPad app?!?. Not to mention any of the many problems with the app, can we at least get an iPad version of the app!?

App is now useless after recent updates. App just crashes after recent updates to 5.9.10 and 5.9.11. Thanks a lot for making your products completely unusable with your app now.

Frustrating. The app is not intuitive and is way more complicated than it needs to be.

Good hardware but app needs some thought. I think the Govee hardware is really good and well priced. The app does some interesting things but it’s not user friendly. I believe it will evolve over time but the app has actually made me think about paying the premium for Hue instead. If Govee ups the app design and implements more usable features it could be amazing. Some issues I have with the app besides being cumbersome is that I would like more options for scenes. I would like to be able to modify the scene settings and speed. The speed for sure. Some of the scenes are cool but move too fast and are just distracting or annoying. Being able to slow it down would make it usable. I’m also hoping Govee can somehow implement HomeKit or Matter eventually. I created a split in my lighting technology by getting a few well priced Govee products. I created Siri Shortcuts which help but are not quite enough. I would be apprehensive to buy any more Govee lights until the app is better and it has better integration with my other HomeKit devices.

Excellent. The best!!!!

App Needs Versatility and Sync Features!!!. In my opinion, the app and products that go along with it are acceptable. However, my led strips (2 boxes of 32 foot RGBIC H6146) are a huge hassle to control using the app. The scene feature is okay and gives you SOME options, but there is still more potential for creative minds to capitalize on. I’m not sure if anyone else has this problem but I have experienced it daily. My problem is that using the DIY feature is very difficult and not user friendly. In specific, I can’t connect to two different sets of strip lights and still use the lighting effects center. This problem can easily be resolved by adding the lighting effects center to the scene section of the app. Along with this, the term “scene” is used for two completely different things. One “scene” is preset light settings, and the other “scene” is multiple devices. This can be easily resolved by changing the second mentioned “scene” to the word group. Again, the products and app are not horribly bad, but they still need some more customizable options for your lights. For the developers: please revise the lighting effects center and make it more available throughout the app, perhaps make the lighting effects center available in scene mode where you can put multiple devices on at once. This would eliminate the problem of having two sets of lights and not being able to sync them.

Great products. Absolutely love all their products and the app is awesome!

Does The Job. I use this app and temperature sensors to monitor my new HVAC installation of two 4 ton Trane AC units and two Trane gas furnaces. Prior to this did not know this app even available. Anyway, put sensors in several important rooms (master bedroom and office) for one HVAC unit and den and second bedroom on other system. Can see how well the vents are adjusted to maintain uniform temperature in house especially important areas. I monitor on an hourly basis to cut down lot of points of data but for day to day monitoring which I export to an Excel chart and shows a nice comparison of monitored temperatures over time and tracking of temperature over time too for individual monitoring points. Shows house wide temps at same point in time as well as how the temps vary within same monitoring station. Use 3 sensors now but plan on getting more for a great comparison of both temps in different areas of house as well as those actual temperatures. A little rambly on recomendation but does the job! And humidity just a bonus to show how it varies over time and what affects it. Great product and remote access of real time data a plus. Lets me know what my HVAC units are really doing when away. And have wifi access also the HVAC units master temperature thermostat and see if any action required by me when away. Kind of a checkup of the entire system. Get this!!!!!
