Good idea, crappy execution

Worst real time app i have ever used. It can never update humidity and temp properly. I thought once CI took over that it would get better but its just as bad. You would think after all these years they would’ve improved it

2 point calibration not available anymore?

Hi, I’ve been using bovedas and boveda butler for quite some time now. Today, I wanted to calibrate my butler using two points calibration. When I chose the calibrate option in the app, it does not allow me two choose 2 point calibration anymore. I can just click on 1 point 75% calibration. Is it some kind of bug? I tought that two point calibration was much better accuracy-wise. I use the butler with 69% bovedas in my cigar humidor.

UI is so slow at startup.

I hate the newer UI. I preferred the old one with the dials. It looked nicer.

Even worse, the app is so slow to start up. I have 5 sensors connected and I try to check them once a week. When I launch the app, more than a full minute will pass before the UI is responsive at all—and sometimes it is much longer than that. It is the app I use the most that I dread using because it is so annoying.

Very confused

Device has been working fine for the past 2 months but now it is no longer updating to my primary device. I connect it via Bluetooth to a secondary device so I can get readings whenever I’m not home. Has been working great. I woke up yesterday and checked my primary device and it no longer had any hourly updates. I deleted the app 3 times and re downloaded it. I even logged out a couple of times and it still will not update. Although readings on my secondary device are still showing (I also turned of Bluetooth on this one) it’s not where I’m needing to get readings from. I was just going to buy another but the product is discontinued so I emailed the company. I don’t think I was speaking with a human because I clearly explained what was going on and what I did in specific detail. We have gone back and forth 3 times. I’m just going to shop elsewhere because this problem isn’t efficient enough for me to keep playing cat and mouse with the company.

Can’t buy the butler

Boveda doesn’t have any butlers available for purchase, making this app useless. I had to delete it.

Hi, we are currently working on getting the Butler back in stock soon. We hope you will consider updating your review when this is back in stock. Thanks.

Latest Update

Not sure why there is “last updated 5 min ago” when this does not update at least for 1 hour

Hi, the Butler normally updates humidity and temperature measurements every 30 minutes. If you are seeing an issue with your Butler updating its data in the app, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at support@blustream.io.

Missed notifications

Will only get notifications of high humidity when I open the app. Which can be days later. Kind of pointless if I’m not notified when it happens.

Hi, I am sorry to hear you are seeing an issue. The notifications that the Boveda apps sends are based on humidity and temperature data from your Butler. So unfortunately, if you are not running the app in the background, you will not be syncing new measurements until you open the app again. This results in notifications coming in later. I would recommend running the app in the background so that you will always receive notifications on your Butlers current measurements. Please feel free to reach out to our support team at support@blustream.io if you have any questions or need any help!

Notifications don’t work.

I use 2 of these sensors, and its a complete disappointment. It never gives me notifications until i open the app. At which point i sometimes get bombarded with notifications but they are all dated and timed at the time i opened the app. Also it takes a while pending when you last checked the app for the actual humidity and temperature is, so you'll see the numbers i flux for anywhere from 10 seconds to a few minutes. This app and device definitely needs a lot of seasoning (pun intended).

With the two sensors i have, i changed them with the same battery at the same time and there is already a big difference i battery use between the two. One is at 90% and the other 60%. Which is odd since i check them the exact same amount via the app. Another let down with Boveda “quality”

Hi, I am sorry to hear you are disappointed with the app. Since the notifications that the Boveda apps sends are based on humidity and temperature data from your Butler, if you are not running the app in the background, you will not be syncing new measurements until you open the app again. We do have the ability in the app to change how frequently you receive notifications, so for example you can change this so that you will only be notified once every day if you would like. If you have concerns about the battery, please feel free to reach out to our support team at support@blustream.io and they would be happy to help with anything! We want to make sure you have a great experience with the app!

Works but could be so much better with a few tweaks

I am a huge bodeda 65 & 69% for my cigars for years now. Hygrometer are my thing to ensure my cigars are at the right RH. Boveda butler came at a good time with a nice design, affordable price and a cool app. The app can use some work; they don’t let you change the order (I have 6), I would be great if I could ready them on the order i want. Also the app keeps crashing. If I leave the app running in the back, after an hour or so, when I reopen it, it crashes. Also weird, that it doesn’t update while running in the back ground.

I am sure this will be resolved eventually. Thank you team Boveda
