Hello Fairy Reviews

Update-I tried to update the lights using the other hello fairy app -and now my lights won’t even power on! Not with my phone not with remote not manually not plugging them in or out turning off or on Bluetooth nothing is working

These are my favorite leds I’ve purchased so far. I’ve had them over a year and attached them to some paneling board and made a huge lightning cloud in my loft apartment. There’s tons of patterns to chose from in HelloFairy

Honestly this would be a rehash of all the other complaints about this dysfunctional app. I guess I’m not understanding why you would not fix HelloFairy after years of complaints and such a high percentage of complaints. Do you not want to sell your product?
Just curious….on top of that, the remote only works if you are standing within 2-3 feet of the lights’ power box/source. Such a beautiful string of lights, until it stops working and becomes an aggravation. FIX IT !!!

There is a button on HelloFairy that presumably would lead to more custom lighting settings however, when you click it it just says coming soon. It would be great if there were options there to slow down the lighting scenes, make a still, multi-color option, or other chases. The other lights I bought from the same company have more features available on the remote than these do on HelloFairy . A bit disappointing.

I was disappointed there weren’t more animated light show options but figured the ones I really wanted I could program in myself.

All swell until I close HelloFairy , reopen, and find all of my animations missing…

I add them in again. Start testing them and am going back and forth between two different scenes when I notice they have changed my design completely… dots were added where I didn’t place them and colors were changed. I’m not sure the full functionality presented in HelloFairy is actually supported by the lights.

Oh and forget music mode… the controller doesn’t pickup barely any sound and it doesn’t connect to the music on your phone like you might hope. Extremely frustrating despite how beautiful the lights are , I hope there are planned updates to HelloFairy .

Version 2.9.0: Please fix the delete option within the DYI section. Each time you delete a save file HelloFairy corrupts your existing saves. The only way to fix the issue is delete all your saves. Please fix the edit option within DYI section. The save files are corrupt when you open and attempt to edit the files. I’ve only use HelloFairy a short time and its very frustrating. Wish I knew HelloFairy rating before purchasing the lights.

The “set LED’s” option was removed in HelloFairy , so now there is not an ability to string lights end to end and have them work, only using the pigtail option can you have two strings active on one power source. This significantly impacts viability of the product. As most users will want to string more than one strand together. Please re-add this option to adjust the maximum LEDs of the connection.

I have two different sets on my trees, for the most most part, they work pretty well, but when they don’t, it’s terrible. The one set will not even respond, no matter what I do. The other one listens exactly per HelloFairy . It is madly for frustrating, one part of my tree is solid blue, and the other part is flashing random lights that I cannot stop. I will not buy this product again, nor should you.

I got them for Christmas from my uncle, they started working and have been working for a while and now HelloFairy is telling me they don’t exist even though they are on and working, I can’t turn them on a color I went to with my phone, I continuously have to delete HelloFairy and download it again, this has been frustrating for me and my mother, we have had to put these up and took over 3 hours, they kept twisting and had just been very frustrating and then when you put them up they just fall down, don’t recommend as for a Christmas gift, or anything else,,

When HelloFairy works, it provides many cool features like complete customization of the lights. Unfortunately, I’ve been having lots of issues actually connecting to the lights. I turn my Bluetooth on and off, unplug and plug the lights back in, but connectivity issues persist.

Sometimes HelloFairy won’t detect the lights at all, while other times they will show up as an option but won’t let me select them. Sometimes I can view the light settings, but none of the changes I make take effect. Then, HelloFairy completely loses connectivity with the lights and I have to use the remote that came with.

If the connectivity issues could be resolved, this would be a great app for a fun product!

So I just received my lights, bought 2. Plugged them in and WHOA! THEY ARE GORGEOUS! But after reading the reviews about HelloFairy I am worried about using HelloFairy with the lights and considering just using the remote that came with it. I think I will give it a go. Gave a 4 just for the beauty of the lights themselves. #FingersCrossed I will update review once I try HelloFairy . It’s loading now 😬

The fairy lights are adorable and I just got them wanting to do the music mode.
I was expecting it to be where I could use the Bluetooth of my phone with the lights, play music on the phone, and it would sync with that but it doesn’t? There’s just 4 options that seemingly play randomly unless I do a really loud noise like getting out of my bed which is really creaky but even that might be a coincidence.
I think there may be a speaker in the box but I don’t want to have to play the music for everyone in the house to hear just so the lights might work.

First of all, I got these lights for Christmas. I have been working them every time I tried to change the color to our one light turns off, for either has the same color, and I'm trying to change it back, but it doesn't work I don't hate it ♡

HelloFairy itself is pretty good for me. I haven’t had any connectivity issues and all the features seems to work well. However I wish they had a few more features that my other set of lights app has. First one would be an option to change to “bright white and warm white” for the white colors in the DIY menus. The second feature or update I wish this had was more modes/options for the waterfall effect. Right now it’s only up, down, left and right and when it’s in waterfall mode so half the tree is unlit so it would be cool if it could just do a continuous waterfall.

I have several strings of the Strawberry C9 lights. Easy to setup and work well. They could be a little brighter but they still look good. The DIY feature where you can set each bulb is cool if a little time consuming. Would be nice if there were more Christmas colors preset options.

We bought the outdoor black thin string crystal cut old fashioned large bulbs. Two sets. Have a white tree but because it’s a realistic trunk, branch even with the white tree it still doesn’t detract. Being able to change the color and pattern if each light has been so much fun! Thanksgiving colors became Christmas and now Mardi Gras I’m figuring out what is best for Easter. Keeping the tree up all year for fun. Love these lights and HelloFairy is easy enough, but frustrating at first to connect but after that smooth sailing !

Not sure why this has a lot of bad reviews. Maybe the latest updates fixed all the issues. I think it is so much fun. Its very high tech, connecting to the lights thru HelloFairy was super easy. DIY your own light scapes was simple and straightforward.
Great work on building this. I am going to buy another set of lights today.

They not only come with images you can pick for various holidays, but you can use an image from your phone photos to have it create a display (some work better than others) or design one yourself (though I couldn’t get that to scroll rather than be static, not sure why they don’t seem to have a way to scroll it).

I found these lights on a different website for a cheaper price but got nervous it was a scam so I paid a little extra to get these. I am not disappointed. They are the coolest lights ever. HelloFairy is super simple to navigate and the remote is simple. The only down side is that they will turn on when I use my Roku remote. Not sure if it’s because I have the lights close to my TV or not but my family and I still enjoy them.

These lights are pretty rudimentary, but nonetheless do what they need to and are super fun and functional. Suggestion: it would be cool to be able to save certain colors or specific shades from the color wheel so you don’t need to manually find it again.

Love HelloFairy, but you need to create pre-programmed options that are specific to Christmas colors. Red/white, green/white, red/green/white, etc. Don’t rely just on the DIY (because that isn’t an option for the globes).
