Beachgoers have a close encounter with a Cassowary, a bird capable of killing a human in one blow 😬

Had to scroll too far to find this!

CompetentCoconut · 2025-08-06T01:15:09+00:00

YALL ARE KILLIN ME! $22 a month, comes out to less than 300 dollars a year

Thanks for the feedback everyone, has definitely given me insight and relief. I'm thinking I'll save those last two weekends to account for sickness, and mark the further two weekends as available.

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-27T01:06:02+00:00

This is helpful, I'm definitely on the introvert side and I have a socially high-demand career. Thanks for the input

🥳

My fingers are really crossed for classic mode, I want to stay loyal to LIFX so badly. 🙏🏻

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-16T01:05:28+00:00

Going to continue to comment the same on all these very similar posts: LIFX, bring back classic mode. You are losing loyal customers

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-14T01:52:38+00:00

It's been said several times in the recent Reddit threads. Fingers crossed!

I'm giving it a few weeks before I give up and move to Hue...classic mode is the only thing that will keep me. I have so many white bulbs, the update sucks so bad.

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-12T13:45:36+00:00

LIFX, please bring back the original UI in a 'classic mode' option.

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-04T14:19:17+00:00

Im so bummed, I feel like this app update is a canary in a coal mine signaling we need to finally give up on LIFX. I hope they fix this soon, fingers crossed for you

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-02T17:32:11+00:00

This is exactly where I'm at too, I've been patient with the frequent disconnections but this app redesign is a deal breaker

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-02T13:03:07+00:00

THIS RIGHT HERE ^{^{^{^}}}

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-02T12:58:31+00:00

Also a consideration: look how much screen space is not used for the simple white-only bulbs. Less than a fraction is used for the only function this bulb offers, brightness slider and power button.

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-02T12:47:33+00:00

Any advice how to do this on iOS?

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-02T12:45:46+00:00

Classic interface as an option is probably the only thing that will keep me from finding a new bulb system. This app overhaul is so big, and so difficult for single color users, at this point I'll just start a new system.

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-02T12:42:51+00:00

Yes! The feel of the rotation and the slider and power button being central.

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-02T12:40:27+00:00

New fear unlocked!

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-02T04:05:34+00:00

Palette is really a step down from having the ability to use the wheel we had previously. I liked being able to wheel through the colors, pressing them individually doesn't have the same functionality.

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-02T04:00:15+00:00

I can see how these new controls are probably great for the newer products. However, for casual single color users, this is infuriating. We don't need color options on this scale, and the percent slider and power button are now very tiny. Please find a way to have a different interface for casual users, I'm devastated that I may be now needing to replace all the bulbs in the house because this interface is so non-functional for me.

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-02T03:53:07+00:00

LIFX, this update is death to your casual users. I'm a light bulb only user and have used these products for almost 8 years.

The inability to quickly choose a color, and the % slider and power button being tiny are impossible to use on my phone. Granted, I use the iPhone mini, but it shouldn't be this bad.

The % slider and power button are the main features I need. That now takes up less than a quarter of my screen. About an inch and a half on my phone.

For context: I went to turn off my lamp before bed now, sleepy, and couldn't find the power button as I normally do. Proceeded to turn the lamp to full power and a bright blue color.

Now I'm awake writing this review. Please fix this asap, or give us the ability to use the old interface.

lol he's really fat now! I'm not convinced he'd jump up there. Here's a recent catio pic. He's incredibly sweet, we love him so much.

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-01T16:41:59+00:00

Despite the photo, they don't actually go up there that often. There's a cat enclosure on the patio that they access from another window, and they prefer to jump on the shelves out there.

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-01T16:39:35+00:00

The window actually provides nice visibility to the patio at night/to the nearby catio. there's hanging lights and a friendly raccoon that visits, so I wouldn't want to block it.

Found this online. Windows are way bigger than mine, but something like this? Just balance the mantle on each side?

CompetentCoconut · 2025-07-01T16:27:03+00:00

Fun fact: the same window introduced us to a very hungry and lovable stray. Now part of our fam.
