What's a good iOS app for settin' up and controllin' those smart lights and gadgets without a bunch of BS?

Govee Home. It ain't perfect, but it gets the job done for my Govee lights. The setup can be a pain, but once you're dialed in, it's solid.

Look, I'm not gonna lie, the Govee Home app ain't exactly built like a brick house. The tutorial is useless, but once you figure out how to pair your devices, it actually works pretty good. I've got a bunch of their lights around the house and in the shop, and this app controls 'em all. I can change the colors, set timers, and even sync 'em to music. It's pretty handy when I'm workin' late and need some extra light. The app's survived a couple of accidental drops onto the concrete floor of my workshop, so it's tougher than it looks. Battery life on my iPhone takes a hit when I'm messin' with the lights all day, so keep that in mind. But for controllin' my Govee stuff, this app gets the job done. No need for a fancy degree to use it.
