Monster Smart Lighting Reviews

The day I got them they connected just fine but after 4 days of having them they got deleted from MonsterSmartLighting so I tried connecting back to my phone and it doesn’t work I followed all the steps but it doesn’t show up on my Bluetooth and it’s really annoying I haven’t had any problems with MonsterSmartLighting but I can’t reconnect to them no matter what I do

These lights are horrible and they do not work at all! I just got them today and I got home and tried to set them up. They connected just fine to my iPhone but when they tried to connect to my WiFi, they just wouldn’t connect. I do not recommend MonsterSmartLighting or even the lights!

It lags sometimes when I wanna put a timer so if that were to be fixed it would be better

Terrible app - just freezes each time while trying to connect to the Bluetooth link for the setup

When i try to change my led lights it lags nd dont wanna go to the color i picked it keeps logging me out and it jus not working i just wasted money

I just wasted about $30 on these lights just for MonsterSmartLighting to not connect. I tried everything. The WiFi matches, my Bluetooth is on, but it keeps booting me out because it keeps timing out. You better pray you get it connected the first time or you’ll have to uninstall and reinstall MonsterSmartLighting a billion times. Eventually I just gave up. Oh yeah, and if you’re thinking about using the button on the cord, have fun shifting through all the modes just to find one you tolerate. Needless to say I’m throwing this in the trash and buying a different brand if I don’t get this connected tonight.

I’ve had MonsterSmartLighting for like 4 days and it logs me out all the time but i can log back in but that’s not the point. When I tried changing the color on MonsterSmartLighting for my led lights they wouldn’t work but when I pressed the button it worked. But my button is behind my dresser so it’s hard cause I don’t wanna move it every time. The lights would not change colors from MonsterSmartLighting and would say the server is offline.

I only had MonsterSmartLighting for 2 days now and I am having problems today when I got home I plugged in my LED lights then I grabbed my phone and I opened MonsterSmartLighting just to see that I had been logged out so I tried logging back in it wouldn’t work so I tried to change my password then I tried again and still it wouldn’t let me log in but overall MonsterSmartLighting if okay ig

Personally, MonsterSmartLighting works great for controlling these lights and i’m glad it’s as easy as it is. A few minor issues though, for example, the fact we have to log in every time we open MonsterSmartLighting . Also, MonsterSmartLighting does crash occasionally if you switch the lights. Otherwise, so far so good :D

I love these lights! There super easy to use and to set up! I love how I can change the color from my phone. But when I saw the bad reviews I was surprised because my lights are perfect but a lot of reviews were bad but if anyone wants to get the LED lights I would recommend it!

Been spending a hour now trying to get connected to my Bluetooth with no success. Have tried all of the troubleshooting they suggested and nothing works. Can’t even control the lights with the button that is on the strand! What a waste of time and money! Only plus side is if you want a constant flashing white light then I guess these lights are for you. But can’t change color or how fast or slow the lights flash. My daughter is so bummed out.

The LED lights and MonsterSmartLighting are both trash do not purchase, return if you made the same mistake I did. Lights with a physical controller have 10x the functionality of this light and the adhesive seems like it’s made out of lubricant. Even with the mounts it’s still not sticking… edit: app doesn’t save any info and I have to log in and type my whole user name and password EVERY TIME I want to turn my lights on/off. Do us all a favor and recall and discontinue this awful product.

MonsterSmartLighting keeps logging me out every-time i try to use it. The colors keeps going randomly to other colors and takes a little bit of time to get it to the color I want. Overall this apps good but with some minor issues.

All these people saying it’s junk. Lie, I love the lights they are probably setting it up wrong. It was confusing in the beginning but READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. It’s really easy once down.

Great product

MonsterSmartLighting keeps logging me out every day, and even when I’m logged in the sliders for the brightness and saturation rarely work. When I turn off the lights, they stay on, and vice versa.

Don’t buy this product on the box it states it can connect with alexa even though it cannot. Also it doesn’t even play music and if it’s supposed to listen for music that doesn’t work either so this is a terrible product with false advertising do not buy. Also now the Led lights will not turn on.

The settings are cool, it would just be nice to be able to use MonsterSmartLighting with out issues.

Best of luck to developers regarding finding out the reason why.

Got mine today worked perfectly the first time I used it now it keeps saying error when I try to connect it again it just won’t connect:(

It only took me few try’s to connect it n once I got it to connect it. It was very easy

Great product. Vibrant colors. I love the various pre-set scenes the most. Quality product and experience!!!

MonsterSmartLighting was not of the best of the quality but I was still able to set up the light and in less then five minutes with no trouble at all. Enjoying the lights very much, the only thing is MonsterSmartLighting could use some work, but other than that loved the lights!!!

bought the lights and they’re working fine, it’s MonsterSmartLighting. it says that when it’s white it’s connected, it’s connected on bluetooth. but MonsterSmartLighting keeps trying to connect to wifi and saying “request timed out”. then I have to do the whole thing all over again. the product itself is good, but because MonsterSmartLighting won’t work I can’t use the $30 lights I just bought because there is no controller. would not recommend don’t waste your time

When I first got these I did everything,yes they do Bluetooth you have to unplug it and turn it back on but that’s not the issue. My issue with these LEDS was they were to heavy and fell down right as soon as I put them up. Not only that the middle piece that connects the two LEDS together popped out and wouldn’t go back in so I had to buy a whole new LED from a different brand.

Got my lights today and haven’t been able to connect them, Ive been trying since 5:00 and i am writing this review at 11:00 every time i try to connect it says error I’ll try again tomorrow but if i doesn’t work i might have to take these back

This LED is great to use easy connection so bright and so long I would recommend buying this if you have a big room thank you

Cont….Before this sign in problem , It wouldn’t do the schedule right, or at all. Sometimes I could do a time On, and a time off, but then it would come back on after my scheduled time off. Other times, I couldn’t schedule anything, it would be blank!

I had no problem, the controls worked for me.

Its practically the worst app , Wont even let you log in. It lags and stops working completely. Had to restart it three times in the span of the two months ive had them. If i could give zero stars i would, Dont waste ur money

These lights are absolutely a wast of time and money, doesn’t work at all and is just cheap sloppy work for such expensive lights for 30$!
and it is way to short. Please fix this or just don’t sell them

Does the job. I like the music and color combination features. Some little glitches but overall it’s ok👍

Its on MonsterSmartLighting as a device but it says offline and goes to online but if i change color it wont change and now its offline so it wont change please fix

They haven’t sent me an email to verify my account and it’s been like 2 hours

The lights work fine MonsterSmartLighting just does not work at all I just got them and MonsterSmartLighting keeps saying that there offline when they are on.

the lights work fine and all jsut falls really easily all the time which is annoying and i rather using a remote than use my phone for less

took me and my dad around 45 minutes to set up in my room and not even 5 hours later, the led lights fell down while i was asleep. it woke me up and i had to tape it multiple times for it to stay up. i was very upset that the lights fell down after i just got them that day for a late christmas. make the led strip stickier!

overall these led lights are working perfectly fine. they are great and are great quality. The only thing i don’t like is MonsterSmartLighting . MonsterSmartLighting is very laggy and when you go in it, it takes you right out. For me its only MonsterSmartLighting but, the led lights are amazing and i would buy it again just fix MonsterSmartLighting .

Don’t buy these lights from them. They’re a terrible company that doesn’t help their customers. not to mention they’re pretty cheap lights. They could be made better for the price you’re paying. If you’re lucky the lights work for a week and then shockingly not. make sure you have some friends or family to videotape you doing this because they will not help you if you do not have a video.

App does not work and always crashes

The lights connected once then after that would never connect again very aggravating especially when you have already put them up and can’t change the color don’t recommend these if you want don’t want stressed out

These lights are to heavy they won’t stay up. I only had them for 2 hours and they stopped working. The lights are not good quality I do not recommend their 2 hard too get set up I recommend better quality lights.

I was setting my lights up and they immediately fell right down and MonsterSmartLighting didn’t connect to them after 7 tries

If I could give MonsterSmartLighting zero star, I would. MonsterSmartLighting barely ever works, and when it does it shuts me out. The lights on the other hand don’t even work. The sticky adhesive does not stick as it’s been licked like a lollipop; Coming right out the box they are this way. I don’t understand why they were $30 if they don’t even work, let alone give us an app for it that doesn’t even work. MonsterSmartLighting worked once and that was it. I’m more irritated about the lights though because they said they were adhesive but they weren’t. They were absolute trash. I would not recommend these to anybody, not even someone I hated, and that says something about MonsterSmartLighting and product.

They barley stick but work okay when you first get them. After you have them for a day or two they get a blank spot that turns into half of them working. This is the second time this has happened so please let this be your warning!

App crashes and closes on its own when trying to change lighting effect, cool concept for controlling lights but very poorly implemented please go back to a regular remote

MonsterSmartLighting never works right and especially now with the updates it’s even worse it won’t even pull up my led lights so I can change the color

It won’t even pair it will just blink blue for 2 mins and not connect to my phone and never came with a controller this was a wasted birthday gift

bug fixes? more like bug adds. new update won’t even let me open MonsterSmartLighting anymore, and when it does open it buffers, now my lights are stuck on my last setting of choice and the default presets.

Trying to connect it to Wi-Fi is awful. MonsterSmartLighting is the worst.

MonsterSmartLighting doesn’t work

Nothing is wrong with my lights. Bluetooth is good and when I change the color its delayed just a bit. Why is everyone attacking this? Nothing is wrong for me.

I hate to complain but when something is bad its really bad esp if im taking time out of my life. When i have triplets i have to attend to then this is a must need to get this info out there so no one else waste time from there important lives to deal
with bad products how do u even sleep at nigt knowingu charge 30 bucks for a product that the adhesive is cheap and u could of done so many other options instead of wasting money on the adhesive company u went thru they ripped u guys off im goimg to start here amd as for MonsterSmartLighting please for the love of gad have somthing good about a a smidgen of your product if u are charging 30$ the only reply i want is when i can get my money back ? I went to the dollar store and fond these great lights that a strip lights to they actually have velcro way smarter maybe monster could ask the dollar store where they got theres from and invest in that company instead. This one is a lost cause !

After having the led lights for a few months MonsterSmartLighting is starting to not work it would glitch on and off I cant even go into my app to turn them on off at this point I would have to unplug them, the led strips barely sticking onto my wall which is really frustrating and annoying. But overall when it was working it was cool to use and play with.

Do not purchase this, I bough the led stripe light and it did not work. 1st day I got it I was hitting so hard on my wall for it to stick , then 30 mins later they start to rip out. MonsterSmartLighting doesn’t even work tried whole 20 mins trying to make it work and it kept saying that there was an error abt the lights … they were already blinking. Tried mins later then it kept kicking me out MonsterSmartLighting . Wasted 30 bucks for this bull****.

First of all they don’t stick I spent two hours trying to get them to stick and it didn’t work and after the first day half of the lights stoped working.

If I knew I had to use an app I would’ve never bought these in the first place but for some reason you need to make an account which is completely unnecessary for a light strip and honestly at this point it might be easier to hack my lights and make my own client

MonsterSmartLighting is okay but the light keep coming down and won’t stick back up and broke whenever I put them on🙄

MonsterSmartLighting is cool but sometimes when I open MonsterSmartLighting it says it’s “loading” and my lights don’t try to connect and overall if the lights came with a remote it would be better than using a app witch was cheaply made.

I was trying to turn off my lights and my lights weren’t on there so I to delete it and reinstall it.

App crashes when trying to change lighting effects and after some time you have to re-pair the strip, then MonsterSmartLighting won’t recognize it, go with the one with the remote, cool concept terrible app

Lights work good but MonsterSmartLighting has this thing where it loads stops then keep on loading and wont even let me click on my lights

MonsterSmartLighting is great sometimes will crash but not a big deal

I love the lights but sometimes MonsterSmartLighting crashes. Please fix.

I connected my lights months ago and they seemed fine but now they disconnect all the time 2/10 I don’t recommend

I thought I was with a trusted company no you are NOT
GO TO THE COMPETITION ITS BETTER
I BOUGHT 7 of their light bulb and light strip NONE OF THEM CAN CONNET TO MY PHONE NONE
BUT I BOUGHT A DOFFERENT BRAND WORKed in 5 sec
Don’t waste your time on people that cannot do a job properly

I don’t usually leave reviews about apps. Even some of the bad ones. MonsterSmartLighting has caused me some issues and I think other people deserve to know. MonsterSmartLighting has currently been down for days and I have to turn my lights on through the button so I can’t change the color. MonsterSmartLighting also has a lot of bugs. I don’t mean that the developers didn’t put time or energy but I’m also disappointed in how many bugs MonsterSmartLighting has. It freezes, logs you out, will delete your lights from the list, say your lights are off when they are on, and the list goes on. Spend your money on some nicer ones.

As for the developers I don’t need a response and no I will not contact you through an email you never check.
Hope this helps everyone!

I will try to change the color of the led and MonsterSmartLighting will just freeze and the color won’t change then I will try another color it will go out it on the old color I already tried MonsterSmartLighting is just terrible overall I keep having to reset the led lights but now it’s saying something about an error when I try to connect them to WiFi don’t but these led lights they a waste of time and money also I had to use tape for them to stay on my wall because they kept falling the first time I ever put them up.

The truth is that MonsterSmartLighting works perfectly for a few months then the problems start, MonsterSmartLighting is useless and it is super frustrating to me in fact I could not turn them off or turn them on in addition to the fact that they cost me 30 dollars and I had to glue the lights with another glue since it did not work the one that was included with the lights is too stressful. And now by accident I restart the lights and I can't set them up again.

Sometimes I need to turn the brightness down and this shouldn't be an issue (except here it is for some reason) but then when I try it it doesn't work and I'm just blinded the whole night because of some stupid bug. Just don't buy Monster Smart Lighting and buy another brand because this is just disappointing.

At 20 some odd dollars at the minimum MonsterSmartLighting could at least work. I have used clear tape to keep my lights up. When they work they are awesome when they aren’t huge pain in the back side. I have reset the lights several times to no avail of fixing the problem!!!!!!

Buy literally any other LED strips than these. Anything you think could go wrong will. Terrible products and even worse customer service. Don’t work with MonsterSmartLighting , don’t stay stuck to the wall.

MonsterSmartLighting doesn’t work at all, can’t change the color of my lights and it’s so annoying. You’re better off getting some lights that come with a remote. Literally wasted 30 dollars for nothing

A source nothing works and its so frustrating. Getting a strip to connect is so unbelievably challenging its been struggling to connect for hours. “Retry” or “failed to connect” have popped up 100 times
Its just ridiculous
Leds are nice but the system is horrible.

I mean it’s a decent product but it’s terrible the led lights snapped off after like 5 feel of it and know I can’t use the other 10 feet. It doesn’t stick and nothing works it’s terrible don’t waste your money

Easy to use.

The devs are so careless! MonsterSmartLighting is so hard to navigate, the colors are not accurate whatsoever, it is difficult to make your own designs because you only get to pick the colors and speed. As well as the slider not staying on the color you choose half the time. Also sometimes MonsterSmartLighting won’t let me control my lights at all until I close MonsterSmartLighting and re-open it.

TLDR: there are many things about MonsterSmartLighting that absolutely ruin the quality of life in everyway. I love the LEDs but MonsterSmartLighting is BAD.

I’m not a hateful person. But I’m saying this in hopes of someone listening to the problems and at the very least attempt to fix it. And if not AVOID THIS UGHHH. Only not giving 1 because I like the colors and patterns. So much potential here but is being wasted. PLEASE MONSTER LISTEN AND HELP US.

As long as you know how to use technology and aren’t stupid, you should be able to use MonsterSmartLighting. It’s very straightforward and simple. Yes it has its bugs but so does every single other app on this platform the actual light strips themselves are pretty good other than the adhesive but the instructions clearly say don’t take it off once you attach it once so as long as you read the instructions and aren’t stupid, you should be able to get this to work, but that’s just my experience and if you can’t get it to work, it might be because it is faulty

If I could give MonsterSmartLighting, a zero star rating, I probably would. When MonsterSmartLighting is actually working, it’s not that bad. But when it randomly disconnects and you can’t control the lights anymore and you go to try to reconnect them and it takes you over 30 minutes or longer to try to reconnect them.. not worth your money. The lights themselves are nice. But MonsterSmartLighting they’re running to use them is not very good. Wish we still had remotes that came with these type of lights more often than having to do phones for the controls.

Dont get me wrong I love the patterns they have and the colors but MonsterSmartLighting remote you have to use doesnt even work anymore for me i’ve tried deleting MonsterSmartLighting and redownloading making a new account for it and it just wont let me change any of the colors via remote and using the single button on the led’s only changes to a few modes so now i’m stuck with 30+$ led’s that I cant even enjoy anymore.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE product. I purchased these lights from Walmart. Perfect price, perfect length. Here we are 3 days later and the lights won’t connect to my device. I’ve deleted MonsterSmartLighting and reset the entire Bluetooth connection, deleted the light from the device etc nothing won’t work. It will not connect. I’m taking this back. Immediately.
