Magic-Lantern reviews
2.6 out of 5, based on 1,939 reviews.
What people like
- Connects automatically and pairs easily
- Lots of color and pattern options
- Lights sync well with music
- Free app with no ads
What they complain about
- Bluetooth connection fails or drops often
- Cannot play personal Apple Music playlists
- No option to create custom colors
- App colors do not match lights
Please update your app
The lights and wires are nice and sturdy now so I take it you are getting better, I hope you can update the app too, specifically the mic function should more versatility and patterns.
Lame
The built-in modes are ugly. You cannot adjust colors for the modes. You can only adjust the color for the “one color” mode. Otherwise you are stuck with their truly horrible patterns and colors. I can program better looking modes with my eyes closed. I will be replacing the controller with my own custom one.
Please add more customization!
I’ll start by saying the app works, and does what it’s supposed to (in a fairly unpolished but functional way). However, I feel the app is holding the lights back from their full potential. I would love to be able to create and customize different patterns and colors, as well as have individual control over each light plugged in to the main controller. If that is out of your control, however, could you at least add an option to the microphone/music react mode that allows me to select which color moves to the audio? The built in reaction feature works great, but the color patterns displayed while using that feature frankly don’t look great, and don’t match the rest of my car. If you could program in the ability to select which color(s) move to the audio, I would use the feature far more often. I hope this request is acknowledged and implemented somehow, as I have been considering finding other LED controllers that have this feature. Thank you
Good concept, needs work
I like all the presets but want to be able to create my own. The app starts off in the on position every time but the lights aren’t on then it takes several tries to turn them off. For some reason my red and green lights have all of the sudden decided to switch identities so if a pattern is R-B I really see green and blue 🤦♀️
It works…
It works great, but I want to be able to customize my color rotations I want… for example I want red white and blue for USA baby! … and I can’t because they don’t have it as a setting which is weird… and they don’t have a customizable setting either… they need to update this on the app asap!
EVbase Led
Those LEDs are amazing; the Bluetooth automatically connects to your dashboard. I hate it when the brightness is set too high. I want to set my own brightness level.
Turn on by itself
I have a led badge I got off TikTok. I turn off the badge in the app and every morning the led badge is on! I even tried to delete the app after I turn it off and it still turns on by itself.
Works well for me
I use this app for my kemimoto whip lights on my can am commander. It works like it should and I love all the color options. The only thing I wish it had was the option to make your own color sequence…it’d be a 5 star for me.
Idk
The lights work and everything but the quality of songs and stuff but just too low. This is really trash only buy it if you really want some light in your room not for music. It ain’t fit for music. I was gonna give it a three but now it’s going down to a tube because what is the music quality first of all and it’s not even recording my voice or how loud this voice is in here only buy it if you wanna light up your room or for a party.
Dimmer
I would like more if you added a dimmer option and color pattern through schedule to the app
i don’t understand the bad reviews
works great connects automatically and no ads or payment, honestly the best led control app i could find, i don’t understand all the bad reviews at all
Do not buy
It won’t connect. The sounds do not work. The microphone does not work.

Annoying
I cant connect my Neon Rope Lights too it and i want too
Sometimes it works
Sometimes the app works and something it doesn’t, depends on what day and time unfortunately, but other than that, the colors are pretty and that lights syncs with music and my air conditioner. I just wish the app worked consistently
Works for me
Works great for me. No connection issues or delay when changing colors. If I’m not mistaken, the only thing missing from the app is the sound reactive lights option. I have it on my remote so it’s no biggie.
I tried everything
The app won’t work even the new remote won’t work plus the app has bad quality
Love the lamp but one problem…
One problem that I have been having with this lamp is that I’ve been trying to play my Apple Music and it wouldn’t work and the only songs that work are the one provided that are not from my playlist or Apple Music if you could respond and tell me how to fix please do
Wrong colour
None of the colours match at all on the app compared to the actual light
The music
The music is not working please help.
works fine?
idk why the reviews are so bad, my app connected to my lights right when i opened it and everything works.
doesn’t connect
never connects worked for like a year
I would do 5 star but here’s my feedback
The app is very easy to navigate, lots of options I will say but I wish there was a start up animation and I also wish there was more and better styles, hopefully you guys use this feedback to update the app more thank you guys
氛围灯切换颜色错乱
App和遥控器控制颜色不同一,会使遥控器颜色控制错乱。还有App中有些颜色模式不支持显示,点击后就不亮了。现在通电后启动速度变得非常慢,比刚开始慢2至3倍,还以为没有启动一样。
APPLE MUSIC WONT PLAY
The app is nice. It has lots of patterns and settings to have the speaker sink with whatever music you would like; it’s very sensitive and picks up a lot of sound. Additionally you must stick to patterns. You cannot speaker sync with a single color even if you have the remote. You can sync your APPLE MUSIC into the app but I CANNOT play any of my personal iTunes , Apple songs. PLEASE FIX THIS ❤️
Floor Lamp From TikTok
It’s great app to use, it has more colors options, brightness options, and more. I read the reviews, and I want to make a comment that it has ( - nearly - if I’m not corrected ) every colors, red, blue, white, as much as you can name. It gives more options than the remote I have for the floor lamp.
Won’t connect to my phone or any phone
Won’t connect to my phone and on the off chance it does it loses connection immediately
Please change music sync feature
I love the app to me it doesn’t lag like other. I’m a big music guy. I love when my music syncs with the lights however with the app it has set modes. With synth looking colors and you can’t set the beat sync to just have one color. It’s always changing. Although this affect is cool. I’d like to ask if you guys can maybe update the app so that we can pick solid color beat sync
Led
Nice leds but it’s very annoying as the app doesn’t work and you can only set a few colours plz fix this asap
Seasonal
The first day I had this app it showed a season option but now it doesn’t???
More
You should add the ability to play my apple music playlist instead of picking the song I want.
Can’t connect
Literally won’t connect
Suggestions
There were no issues for me, although the lack of modes for phone mic was quite annoying. Add the modes on external mic to phone mic and I’ll be sure to bump it up to 5*! Also, perhaps customization with the background and maybe even making your own styles would be great! Perhaps templates and then a freestyle mode. Although, if you charge a subscription for these features it’s going down to a 1*.
leds
they will not connect to bluetooth
Missing features. Connection spotty
If you are just looking for a party setting (moving lights) or a solid color, it’s pretty good. I was buying this light for what looked like an option to have a static set of multiple colors - which this app won’t do. Hoping for that upgrade
App works perfectly right out of box.
Not sure what there is to complain about. Out of box it pairs right up. I love the app and don’t even touch the remote. I also have the lights set up to a light switch. They remember the last setting in the app so every time I turn on the light switch, my preferred setting is ready to rock and roll.
Glitchy app
The lantern itself isn’t the problem the app needs updating.
Nice little app
Works well and well presented. Brightness setting seems to only impact my LED lights in the last 10% of the slider. Would highly benefit from Siri integration. Overall a nice app
Lights don’t sync with phone
Good lights they just don’t sync with my phone so sometimes I just give up and have no lights at all :/
?? Huh
So basically, I had old led lights and they were too short for my room so I got new ones I used this app for my old ones and it was good like I loved the effects and I went to download it for my new ones and it doesn’t connect which really annoys me because I can’t find any other app with the same effects and modes of led lights so I really want to use this app I just wish the Bluetooth was better
Works fine for me
Overall this app does its job fine.
The color settings are off
The app is poorly made and has a lot of issues that don’t seem to be addressed. If I select the color purple, yellow actually shows on the lights. If I want purple I have to select yellow. And the issues just continue from there.
Works well.
Works well, but can’t find any information to connect to Alexa. Would love it if this was available but can’t find out how.
Needs one colour option on mic
Whilst these work well, there’s no one colour option on external mic, and multi colours toooooo distracting Twas the only reason I bought the lights Manual Bluetooth pairing would be better too as there no forget device option on IOS Please fix !!!!
To the developer
Can you update the app with an option to switch off the RGB cycle at startup? I am sure everyone here would appreciate that. Thanks
It’s awesome!
This app is awesome! I got the happy our with paradise grills app for my paradise grill, but it wouldn’t even pair. I got this app after researching and it was awesome! All I had to do was allow two permissions and it had already connected!!! It has sooo many different features! Only thing is that I think it would be cool to make our own animations and upload mp3 files for the grill to analyze and flash lights to with more animations then solid lights. Also I saw someone said that they couldn’t turn off their paradise grill and gave it a 1 star. To turn it off without cutting the power, go to the Adjust section, and toggle the on/off slider to off. If it is already on off, turn it on then off. Make sure you’re in range of the grill also! Hopefully this helped and you’ll give it a 5 star review because this app is really really good!
Awful
It doesn’t connect, difficult to use, sloppy, just bad all around.
Music
Everything works well but only problem is my songs don’t play, only ones that work is the basic put in songs what come with the app but your own ones just don’t play they show up but just won’t start. Definitely need to try fix that, that’s my only problem with the app.
