Default Sunbrite F Series?

Just wondering if anyone has any reviews, opinions, likes/dislikes to share on these new LEDs?

So far my thoughts are this:

Pros:
- Nice looking fixture very slim
- Good light spread covers my 24" wide tank completely
- Bright at the higher levels. I've currently got mine at 60% but will ramp
up to 90% over the next couple of weeks
- Good control of spectrum and intensity when the software is working

Cons:
- Fan on the power supply is kind of loud
- Quality control of manufacture is below par. Mine had a single bent fin on the top of the fixture and I could tell that touch up paint had been applied after powder coating
- Software not very intuitive. What you think should work for the workflow of the software does not. Sometimes my changes get set, other times they do not. I'm currently still battling with getting a fully working program in place after 3 days.

I searched the App Store for "SunBrite" and no such app exists. Has it been pulled or am I using the wrong search terms?

Seems to be gone from the Apple store. I downloaded mine about a month ago. Hope it still works when my light show up today (Canada post says they are out for delivery).

Hopefully they pulled it because they are updating it, but it is odd that they would remove it completely until an update was available.
