    I bought 6 of them and 2 died in less than a year. The other 4 are painful to reset and set up. The 2 that died, they kept blinking towards the end and stopped changing color. I have a set of phillips smart bulbs bought around a year ago along with c by ge and they never ever failed. No connection issues, no google home issues and nothing else. I guess the price for each of these determine quality.

    Smart color changing light bulbs that I can control with Alexa. Easy to sync and very helpful. They are dimmable and it’s nice to set a mood in each room. Price is the best value!

      The Cync application is entirely free, there is absolutely no subscription or hidden fee. There is a scam app within the app store called 'LED Remote' that has been marketing itself as the 'Cync' application, it is not. We highly recommend reporting that app and downloading the real Cync app. Our application is a black square with a white 'C' in the middle surrounded by a starburst pattern. -Cync Support

    Not a fan. I bought these to supplement my Ilumi Bulb but they can’t compare. They aren’t near as bright and the colors aren’t as vibrant. I’m taking them back tomorrow,

      We are upset to hear that your experience was anything short of enjoyable. Cync devices are only compatible with 2.4GHz Wi-FI networks, they will not work if your network is 5GHz. This information can be found in either your phone's Wi-Fi settings or by calling your internet service provider. In the event you have a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, we would like to assist in getting your devices setup. Please consider contacting our live Support Team at 1-844-302-2943. -Cync

    Didn't work! It wouldn't connect, I followed the instruction and reset the bulb and finally got both bulbs to connect and all I could do is test the bulb which makes it blink 6 times, turn off and on and dim. NO COLORS! I went back in a few days to try again and they would not connect. I'm not going to reset this every time I turn my light on. It will be going back. I really wanted these to work.

    Buyer Beware! How is it possible to be scammed by a lightbulb? Well if you buy this one here you will be. The light gives a normal yellow glow, when you go to download and use the Cync APP, you are forced into a subscription! Why should I pay monthly for COLORED LIGHTBULBS? Wild!! Returning!

      Hi Jasmine - Oh no! It looks like you may have downloaded the incorrect app. Our app is called "Cync (the new name of C by GE)" and is available in the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. We do not require a subscription to control colors with our smart light bulbs. If you need assistance, please feel free to contact us directly at 1-844-302-2943 so we can assist. -Cync Support Team
