I bought this on a whim and I love it. So much fun to mess around with and completes my barcade set up. High quality item and super easy interface/app.

A Great Start!

Being the first pixel light by Govee I am pretty impressed! They went for their own style, own look, and own strengths. Sometimes i wish it were bigger, but the frame rate is pretty good and makes up for the size. Govee is always coming out with Pro version and upping the number so I Cant wait to see what they come up with next!
This item needs a lot of work yet. I was really hoping this could be something like Glance or a Sport Scores thing for the Man Cave. It is unfortunately not living up to the hype and I will be returning mine. It also has a few bugs (One of the most annoying ones is, When you leave the app open for a few minutes on your phone and try to change the scene, It will just spin and sping and never change it. You need to close the app and reopen app to change the scene).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Our APP will optimize this issue at the end of June. You can update it at the end of the month to see if the problem still exists.
It's really fun, and lots of features to customize nuts and bolts of about everything -- great app options. For using one's own photos, it helps to externally edit ones photos to work best when pixelized, but maybe they'll add some in-app utilities to help. It looks like they are adding many new things to the app actively, which is really cool. The AI generator is fun and funny to use, I hope they can expand to include ai generated animation and sometimes it doesn't spell words right, but that sometimes makes it funnier too. I'm not sure if I wish the resolution was slightly higher.. but it's part of the challenge to find funny things that work well.
Has glitches that need fixing but it is amazing when it works.

Not Ready For Prime Time

I don't think I've ever seen a consumer product like this with so many bugs. Everything is updated, the light is the latest firmware, iOS Govee app is the latest version, iOS has been updated--it's even on the latest model iPhone. I can't even begin to list all the weird bugs I've run across--failed saves, scenes not working, playlists failing, some scenes within playlists don't play for the specified duration or even at all... Seriously, this is just a mess of a product. Cannot recommend.

It will not connect to any Wifi for the love of gods. I tried connecting it on multiple devices, but I could not connect to any. Hope it will get fix soon.

May I ask if you are currently using a 2.4GHz network? If your router supports dual-band frequencies, please temporarily disable the 5GHz band before attempting the initial connection.
Additionally, we recommend resetting the light to see if this resolves the issue. To reset, please use a toothpick or paperclip to gently press the reset button located in the hole on the back of the device.
If possible, could you also try connecting the device using your phone’s hotspot to determine if the issue persists?
We appreciate your patience and cooperation. Please let us know the results, and feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.
