Not as good as before

I’ve had the Boveda butler for a few years. I now own three for my cigar humidors. That app worked with few flaws previously. Since the last update the readings are not in real time. The display has changed from the classic hygrometer dial reading to a more modern design. The biggest problem is the lack of a real time updates and seems to be inaccurate. When I open the app I want to see real time readings and o am not getting that and I did before this last updat. Please Boveda fix this and go back to the prior hygrometer style display.

Push Notifications Do Not Work

Despite the fact that I have turned on both high and low humidity alerts, the app does not notify me of either, defeating the purpose of the device. I found that my humidor has been frequently above the set high humidity limit but the app does not alert me unless I check manually. Add to that the fact get there is a persistent button that you cannot dismiss which prompts you to order Boveda packs and this app, as well as the device it accompanies, is a fail.

Great Device

Wasn’t sure if the device would be worth it but after reading the reviews I had to give it a try. It took a few days after calibration to get a consistent reading, but I gave it a couple days and it’s worked flawlessly for a month. Couldn’t be happier with this little device and app.

Useful app, ugly redesign

Like many others, I’m not impressed with the redesign. It looks clunky and outdated now with all the sharp corners and squares. I have an older version with the round graphics on my phone still and it looks so much nicer. It could be my imagination but it seems to take longer for the app to open and connect to the Butlers in the current version. I still like being able to check on my boxes from anywhere and without opening them but the current version of this app feels like being zapped back to the days of Windows95 or something.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your feedback on the new app design. We really appreciate the feedback on the sharp corners and squares. We will be continuing to release tweaks, polishing, and updates to improve the app and hope you will grow to enjoy this new design. Thank you again for the feedback!

Wonderful Product... But☝🏻

This is a wonderful product. Super easy setup, super easy calibration, takes up little room in the humidor. Appears at time of writing to be reliable and accurate. App works well...

However, just two functions I’d like to see...
1/ Temperature needs to have decimal places. Is it 21 degrees? Or is it 20.5 or 21.5??? Reads 22 degrees??? Is it 21.6???
2/ I would really like to see the device made as a wifi unit rather then Bluetooth. Having said that I know literally nothing about the engineering behind that 🤷🏼‍♂️ But would like to be able to check globally and if the horror ever happens, be able to track the box if it gets stolen.

Works well

Had no problem with the set up. Calibrated perfectly for me in 24 hours. Works exactly as it is described and supposed to .
Have had it for almost 2 weeks , perfect 👌.

Poor Update

Not sure who thought it was a good idea to update the graphic interface. It’s taken away the ability to see where the humidity and temperatures are within the acceptable range. Can’t stand this new look.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your feedback on the new app design. We appreciate your feedback on seeing the humidity and temperature acceptable ranges. You can still see this easily by looking at the color shown on the My Butlers view. We hope you will grow to enjoy this new design as we are continuing to release tweaks and polish the app.

Terrible update

New update looks bad, it is not as functional as it was before. Plus, it looks like the app is always forcing you to buy stuff, order new packs, etc.
Completely disliked it.

Bring back the graph

Why did you take away the circular graph with my high and low water marks? In my opinion you made it harder for me. I use the beads or I guess you guys call at the Butler that I have to dip in distilled waterAnd you made it harder. Before I could look at that graph and I knew exactly when I had to dip the beads in the water it was a no brainer. If you don’t put the graph back I will more than likely stop using my humidor and just go to dark airtight jars and just buy the Boveda packs. You guys ruined this thing.

New update is :(

The new update took away the nice visuals of the app. Now I can’t visually see how close my cigars are to the humidity and temperature limits. Sensor works well just the up dated app was more of a downgrade then anything.
