The app suddenly required a login while I was in the field with no internet connection, rendering it useless. An app of this nature shouldn't require a login at all.

With the new update, my B10s now connect through the app. As advertised, I can now fully control the settings from my phone and I was able update/register each OCF with the app. Thank you for notifying me when the update was released. Though not the sole reason I chose to purchase the B10s, the bluetooth connectivity and ability to control the flashes from my phone gives me more flexibility while on site or in the studio. Ill be happy to test and offer feedback in the future.

UPDATE 9.22.20 The light doesn't seem to sync with the phone camera shutter when I adjust the settings manually. The light flashes at a different time than when my phone actually takes the photo so it's not lighting my subject when it's supposed to. It only works when it's set to auto.

(update with beta version of Android) This last weekend I tested the system using my Samsung Galaxy, and a pair of B10s, B10+ and the Connect with a on and off mix of A1x units. The good - speed. Being able to run around, position myself and dim, control and adjust my lights without breaking stride is great. The ability to control the system is very beneficial of course. Update you soon.

"Controls" the C1+ fine... still no Android camera app to trigger it, though. More stars... later... maybe Edit: Downloaded the Camera app ... ROCKS! ... I've since acquired a "Connect" trigger for my Olympus OM-D M-1 MKII... so between these 2 apps, phone, camera & trigger... I'm covered and happy 😊 👍

The light is awesome and the controls for temrature and intensity change is good. Please make arrangements to connect the C1 plus flash with Android base camera shutter. Without this the flash feature of light is just a waste. Please do that.
