How to install AppLights APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download AppLights APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.joysmax.applights-v1.8.6-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

1 ★Worked great now three years later I can't get the app to connect to my strings. My phone reads the strings but this garbage app dosent work.
2 ★Worked well for about an hour. Now I can no longer turn the lights on. I want to change the colour, but cant. So now its just sitting,flashing random themes and modes. It's getting annoying. I've done the rest process and everything.
1 ★This app is really bad on the Android. Most of the time it just doesn't work at all. I have the 140 Effects. I had it connected via the Bluetooth (LightShow Strings). When I'm in the app, I know it's connected when the Strings icon on top comes on and it shows a number on it. But whatever I do it won't change the Theme or Effects. If you have an Apple IOS, it works a lot better. If your lucky enough to have an iPhone or iPad, try it instead. I hope the AppLights will fix this issue on the Android.
1 ★Used these lights for a few seasons with marginal success. I have always managed to get them to work, eventually. A few sets have returned to the store if they didnt work right. My biggest issue is that the app now requires your location to be on. I dont understand why they would require this unless they are tracking you and selling your information to retailers. So i turn the location on then make the changes and turn it back off. I will not purchase any more of these lights. Maybe a competitor
2 ★I have the first gen lights. They worked well for the Last 2 seasons. But when Gemmy updated the app, I lost bluetooth control. And apparently the reset procedure of plugging / unplugging 4 times doesn't work on the first gen controller. So like the other reviewer said, the lights are functional but stuck in the demo loop. Too bad, I really liked these lights. Oh well, guess I will be buying a different company's lights.
1 ★Last year this app let me control 9 sets of one type of lights. I just bought two more sets today to add to the collection. The app has been updated to reduce capabilities likely due to a new style gemmy has out that I saw today. I checked on my tablet which isn't used much and it still has the older version of the app. I am able to connect to all 11 sets of lights with the older version of the app. I am not impressed that Gemmy did this to their customers. I will not be buying anything Gemmy again because of this. Thankfully I was able to keep my tablet at last year's version (2017) and disable auto-updates.
2 ★I like the lights but the app leaves a lot to be desired. Half the time it will only connect to one of the two strings that I have which are connected together and connected to the same outlet. I have to walk up to within a foot of the lights in order to get the other one to connect. Also when are you going to upgrade the app to include a timer feature so that I can set a timer for my lights? That seems like a basic function that should be part of this app.
1 ★This app worked so well last year. This year it won't find my light at all. I've installed and reinstalled it, tried several devices, nothing. We've resorted to just plugging and unplugging the light every night which is a pain. This light was expensive, even after finding it on sale after Christmas last night. And because we cannot use the smart features, the light only rotates between colors although it has 61 options. 😑😑😑
1 ★App doesn't connect to the lights anymore. But I don't believe it has anything to do with the app but instead Android 10 verses Pie. The app still connects on my old Pie based phone. But this problem is still on the developers, they need to get with the times and stay up-to-date with the latest version of Android.
1 ★Expensive garbage. First season I left a great defensive review for the nay-sayers. I paid nearly 100 bucks per string or decoration. On a bluetooth scan I pick up my 9 strings/devices. That's 900 bucks-ish. Last year they were frustrating, this year I cant get a reset or the app to recognize. I can see them in a standard bluetooth scan. Poor tech contron/regression testing practices at best. If you are looking for one season use... have at it. Otherwise spend your money elsewhere.
2 ★This app is what you use to 'control' your applights. We have had them for a year, and in order for the app to connect to the lights, you have to unplug the lights and plug them back in. The app quite frequently disengages from the lights, causing you to not be able to alter the settings. Tldr: this app and lights are frequently unresponsive.
1 ★Stopped working, no response from support. After my first lights died a couple of years ago (after one year) I got two new strings of lights. Now they won't connect to the phone any more, and the support email address doesn't give any response. That's a lot of wasted money, and now the roof is icy I can't even replace my lights. Very disappointing, and I can't afford to keep replacing them.
