    Looks good, app will grab a lot of data

    Ok, I did not light these up. I read the privacy info on what data was collected, and they were grabbing a lot more data they what they needed to operate an TCPIP based device. Enough so I didn't even want to load the app on my phone. I have decades of IT experience, so know what is needed to run a device like this. If you don't care about what companies know about you, seems to be a good device. That's why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. Pity.

      Security is of utmost importance to us here at 'Cync'. Our Team does not have access to any data on your phone. We require bluetooth and Wi-Fi be enabled upon setup, so that the device can connect to your local network and function as a 'Smart Device'. Camera, microphone etc can all be turned 'Off' in your phone's app settings. Though, even when 'enabled', we still do not have the capability to see any of your personal information. Thank you for raising your concerns, we hope this puts any worries you may have at bay. We would be more than happy to answer any further questions or concerns at 1-844-302-2943. -Cync Support Team

    Bad App(le) or a Rotten Bunch?

    Once upon a time these bulbs worked pretty well. Then about three months ago they launched a new app and the bulbs won't connect to the app anymore. I've tried doing a factory reset a couple dozen times to no avail. The good news is, they turn on when I flip the light switch. The bad news is that I can't control the brightness or the color/hue, I can't automate them, and they randomly flicker on/off.

    So you have to download an app to operate these lights. The app says you have to pay to use it. DON’T DO IT!!! Once you buy the app, it still doesn’t work. Cannot believe GE put their name on this.
