App now crashing
App is crashing after updating to iOS 16.0.2. It’s been working fine for years.LotusOH
Slow updates
Been over a year since the last update. No ability to reset blinds from app no easy way to incorporate blinds to other smart home tech… would not it againLMadd678
Not as good as Tilt, but fine enough
The MySmartBlinds app is fine. It’s not very polished, clean, or modern like their Tilt app. It feels like an app that came out on iOS 6. Speaking of Tilt, not sure why MySmartBlinds haven’t been rolled into Tilt. Either way, the app works well enough.
The only thing that needs to be added (again, if not combining into Tilt) is the ability to control individual blinds without giving each blind it’s own room.Show lessalexk0009
Works ok. No sunrise sunset option
Was expecting the app to have open and close at sunrise and sunset functionality. Unfortunately this feature is not available.QAtester67
Works great but needs Siri Shortcuts bad
It was a little tricky to install the first one but I could do my next two in about 15 minutes. Great alternative to replacing my nice wood blinds and I’m very grateful to have this as an option. Five stars once this is compatible with Siri Shortcuts or HomeKit.DJeTron
Pretty darn good for the price
I have five of the conversion “kits” from MySmartBlinds... on both old and new 2-inch blinds... running for a couple of years now. Taking out the original manual tilt-mechanisms, and replacing with the MSB kits, was easy (minutes). Similarly, getting them connected to the app and scheduling them to do what I wanted was also easy.
Five stars for installation and app-setup.
I’ll ding them for one star, however, for a minor annoyance they’ve exhibited since day-one: While running on battery power, when the battery indicator gets to about 50%, they start behaving a little squirrelly. Once every couple of days, they randomly open or close for no reason, or fail to open/close when they’re scheduled to. Over the years, I have asked the company about this... and they’ve made some suggestions for resetting the schedules, they’ve sent me a new battery, etc... bandaids... but none have been a “fix”. I’m writing this because one of them *just* closed, mid-morning, on its own.
When this starts happening... roughly every two months... I just charge them all up, and the behavior stabilizes. But it’s annoying that the battery indicators all tell me they have plenty of charge remaining, when they start losing their minds.
For the price - terrific. But this long-standing annoyance is disappointing.Show lessOldeMan

Hi there. Thanks for the review. We're sorry for this inconvenience. Are you able to use solar in those windows? If so, that may fix the issue. Again, we apologize. Please let us know if we can help you further by messaging us at support@tiltsmarthome.com. Thanks!Cash Grab
Another miserable cash grab. Any software developer who may have worked on this app or for this company is long gone. This technology was brought to a somewhat usable product and then entirely abandoned. Now it just sits to collect money from those who don’t know any better. What a disgusting practice. The entirely absent or convoluted integration with anything else (like Alexa, IFTTT, etc) is absolutely pathetic. With so many steps to actually make this work, the product can’t possibly be for any older folks to use. With garbage software and no integrations/API, it’s also not for smart home enthusiasts. Which leaves me wondering who this dumpster fire is for. With nobody developing this, I know nobody will read this review, but I just wanted to express my grief into the void over this heartless scam. This could be so cool.Show lessMattson543

Doesn’t support shortcuts in iOS
If this app supported shortcuts in iOS, would be much better. Decided against buying these for now. Will purchase in the future of shortcut features are releasedechistas
Overall a good app, but....
Energy savings is no longer working. We really loved this feature. What happened?Frustrating Letters
