Budweiser Sports App

I’ve been using the Budweiser red light and the app to watch hockey for four seasons now. I knew they switched from that app to this Budweiser Sports app, and the reviews were not good. Basically people say they can’t get their red light to work. So I held off. But it seemed they stopped supporting the old app recently because the light stopped working. Therefore I felt i had no choice so I downloaded Budweiser Sports, followed the instructions to link my red light during a game, and it worked right away. It’s been five games now and the app has worked 100 percent of the time. It never fails to signal a goal. I think the app is improved, because the slider for goal delays is a lot more precise.

I am completely and utterly dissatisfied with Budweiser. First off, this wasn’t a $30 goal light from Walmart, this is an almost $200 product and should function accordingly. The original app worked great, I personally had NO issues and was amazed how quickly the goal light would sound once my team scored. Ever since the update to this new app, my light is inconsistent with connections and functionality through the app but more importantly is delayed about 10 seconds from the time my team scores vs when the goal light illuminates (my delay is set to 0 seconds). I can’t help but feel like I have a $200 paperweight. Here’s to hoping Budweiser spends extra time and energy perfecting an update and improving the response time of the light.

After updating to the new app I finally got my Redlight to sync after an hour of troubleshooting and trying . I honestly have to question who green lit this horrendous “hold your phone up to a sensor and flashing lights update” idea over a traditional Connect to WiFi experience. Would it not be 1 billion times simpler to have it automatically detect WiFi connections then add your password like every other device in the world. For $200 usd I expected a better app experience. I love my light, it’s well made and lives up entirely to my expectations, but, this app and syncing experience has to be by far the worst user interface in the world.

This new app has a learning curve and your lamp will have some new features, such as sleep mode and wake. The 5 minute to game time alert actually works again and it was flawless for today’s game. Be SURE to hold the test button when you turn on your lamp before programming with the new app. Once I did that, the lamp works better than ever.

Decided to try this app as it allows all sports to activate the light. Scan would not detect my light. Connect would not work. Reconnected with the hockey only app so there are no WiFi issues. Too bad as this would be great if it worked. So today the old app is forcing me to download the app that clearly does not work. Does anyone at Bud read the reviews that tell you that you app doesn’t work?
