Lumecube for Android

I’ve been wanting to get a Lume Cube ever since I saw one used to illuminate a rock formation at night. I participated in a Milky Way workshop at Joshua Tree National Park. The 15 second shutter speed capture both the illuminated Arch Rock with the Milky Way hovering over it. I couldn’t get over the detail of the rock. It was pitch dark. It was just enough light being sent to match the film speed.

I don’t write reviews. I could count the number I’ve written on one hand. But I’m chiming in to counter the preponderance of negative reviews. Sure, it’s not the greatest designed app of all time, but it was extremely easy to set up, pair (using instructions in the app itself), and use with my Panel Pro. It’s a very handy app in that you can change settings much more quickly than on the device, and the RGB color wheel is a nice feature.

Holy Crap! I almost didn’t download this app after reading the horrendous reviews… And multiple reviews that stated that the 2.0 LUME CubesWould not pair up with this app! Well, all I have to say is I have the Lumecubes 2.0, and the second I launch the app there they were on the screen ready to pair! All I had to do was hit the button! I’ve never seen pairing so easy! The app is laid out well, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do… So I have no idea the problems that you guys are having, maybe some people just should not have tech! Lol I sure know a LOT of people that just need to stay away from “Tech”, Just doesn’t agree with em! Lol GREAT APP! GREAT LIGHTS!

Great light but the features are not well executed. On the physical device…for white all RGB colors should be set to 255. Well they show 255-0-0. It should be RED. If I move the dial up or down to change colors, the colors do change but returning to the 255-0-0 DOES NOT get me back to white - that is NOT good. The only way to get back to white is to turn off the device/reset it. Then it still reads 255-0-0 , it’s white but it should be RED with those RGB values. NEXT the APP - HORRIBLE!!! At best. It gives me favorite colors….THEY ARE NOT MY FAVORITE since I did not pick them . Let the user ACTUALLY pick their favorite color. Oh….touch the color wheel just slightly and it’s now off center. At WHITE the RGB should read 255-255-255. There is NO WAY to set the color to white at 255-255-255 with your finger!!!! POOR INTERFACE AT BEST…..0005 rating if I could. Give me a WHITE favorite to reset the RGB values!!! So, you have to turn off the device to reset the colt as I mentioned above…but guess what….THE APP DOES NOT SYNCH WITHT HE DEVICE TO UPDATE THE RGB VALUES!!!!! You then need to close the App and then the RGB values are set back to 255-255-255. These should be easy fixes for their developers to make the UI usable. In the current state it’s VERY disappointing! Especially paying $150. Lumecube!!! Make these updates and you’ll have a great product instead of a “LUME” DUCK! My concern is they have not make any improvements all of last year to address any of these shortcomings. Prove me wrong!

I received a Lume Cube Pro for Christmas. Upon opening the box, the only instructions were the four steps on the insert and the Pro paired right off. Could not have been easier. The video under “Tutorials “ helped but was not required. I am impressed with the functionality of the app. Only thing missing would be a function to report the charge of the device displayed in the app. It might be there but I did not see it.
