What is LIFX? The LIFX app is designed to help users control their smart lights easily and efficiently. It offers a range of features such as on/off, dimming, changing color, and white temperature. Users can also group their lights, personalize them, and automate their schedules. The app also includes special effects, scenes, themes, and custom color palettes. Users can paint color live onto their LIFX Z, Beam, Tile, and Candle. The app also includes a Discover Tab, which provides How-To guides, integration partners, and shopping options.
1. - Schedules: automate your lights to fade, change color, and turn on/off, all visible in an easy calendar-style view.
2. Automate your wake up Schedule, or set up your movie-watching Scene (then set up voice control so you don’t even have to leave the sofa), or play with Effects next time you’re entertaining.
3. - Groups: control all lights in a group easily, including on/off and dimming with one touch from the Home Dashboard.
4. - Effects: play with special effects like the music visualizer, fire, move, candle flicker, strobe, color cycle & more, all in one place.
5. - Paint: with your finger in the app, paint color live onto your LIFX Z, Beam, Tile and Candle.
6. We make it easy to get started with WiFi-enabled, bright, colorful smart lights that need no hub.
7. Pairing LIFX with Apple HomeKit is easy using the HomeKit onboarding QR code available in the product packaging.
8. Need a helping hand, or want to offer us some advice? We would love to hear from you about your LIFX experience.
9. - Silent notifications: use partner apps to give you a light flash if… your car is arriving, or the forecast says it will rain, or you are mentioned on social media, and much more.
10. - Themes: a library of one click color combinations for a Group, from ‘Proud’ to ‘Soothing’.
11. - Group personalization: choose a LIFX illustration to suit or personalize Group cards with your own pictures.

- The app works well and the user has never had any problems with it.
- The selection of scenes is good.
- One reviewer wishes there were more scenes to choose from, either from the developer or a community.
- One reviewer would like a feature to turn on lights when someone comes in proximity of the home with the app installed.
- Setting up lights can be a frustrating process on iOS, taking about 30 minutes of trying setup over and over again to finally get the app to find surrounding WiFi networks. The user has to double-tap the home button on their iPhone 8 Plus to quickly switch back and forth between the LIFX app and their WiFi settings page to trick the LIFX app into (eventually) finding surrounding WiFi networks instead of taking them to a blank page where they have to manually enter their home WiFi network (which it never finds this way, even though they are entering the correct information).
