Important Update: This app is fairly simple and provides some useful functionality, especially the ability to see battery levels. However, it stops connecting to your lights if you change your phone. The only way to get it to re-connect is to reset your lights. The way to do this is not at all obvious, but you can find this info in the app's FAQ. After a few attempts at following the instructions, I have got everything connected again. The app and the lights work, but beware of this reset info.

Lights synced with the app out of the box. Once I updated the firmware on my Sync devices, they would no longer connect to the app. I reinstalled the app and the app will no longer find any of my lights. The lights still sync together fine but I have no way to control them from the phone.

Updated review: strangely since following some steps from Cateye the sync process is not working again. These where the instructions provided 1. Start CatEyeSYNC app and confirm no device is left. 2. Delete the pairing information from your SYNC lights. Press and hold the power button of the light for more 10 seconds (the light flashes several times at the end). 3. Click power button to wake up the lights from sleep mode, and then tap + (add device) button in the app to find them. I'm sure i tried this many times before but suddenly it all worked. Not sure if there was a sneaky update that fixed this but it is now working. The app generaly is Ok now that it is working, a little rough around the edges and i would like a home screen widget to turn on all lights but it does at least work as advertised. I would like a better way to choose the flashing modes of the lights, and reduce the enabled list of modes as i don't need all of them.
