Cant create an account
Email link to create initial password doesnt take me to correct place. Needs to be fixed
Invalid qr code
Why would you cancel the previous app with the qr code detection feature!! Lots of useful apps found published online are useless now and cannot be copied!!
Really disappointing pricing options
I was a huge fan and advocate of Blynk before their new version. Even today it is the only app of its kind, where you can create your own interfaces for microcontrollers on your phone with ease. I would have been happy to pay a couple bucks a month to continue to use it, but these new prices are completely unjustifiable. In addition, the free plan is so absurdly limited that it’s completely useless without upgrading.
Fortunately, it is still possible to use the legacy app, provided that you self-host your own Blynk server. I’d recommend that others try that out, it’s not as daunting as it may sound (check out hortio/docker-blynk on GitHub). You can use *all* of the widgets included with the old app, and also give yourself as many points as you need, so no in-app purchases.
To the Blynk team: reconsider this change, and think about what made the original such a success.

Bluetooth
Does it have Bluetooth for connection type? Can’t find it after downloading the app
This new app is not for beginners
If you are just getting started with iot projects. This app is not for you. You will just spend you time in frustration. It is clear that blynk wants to eliminate the hobbyist.
No Bluetooth ?!
What happened to ESP32 Bluetooth? that was the only reason I was using this platform - now my existing project doesn’t work - need to find another solution
A little hard to get started but very promising
I used Blynk legacy for many years before crossing to this new version.
It’s a little bit daunting to get started but once you grasp how it all works it really is a very powerful and versatile tool.
You can get an idea how it works without having any costs but unless you are a wizard code writer it’s well worth the small subscription fee to get a lot more widgets and to be honest there’s nothing out there that even comes close to the power of this product paid for or not.

Doesn’t work at all
I tried like a hudred times, it doesn’t work at all on esp8266 for making a wifi car.
Response from developer
This is very surprising to hear as esp8266 is well supported by the platform out if the box. Did you follow the documentation when connecting your device? If you’d like to submit a details description of the issue on our forum, we’d be happy to help.
Super Expensive and Complicated
I loved the Old app, this one is giving me extremely hard time to understand.
Finally i have decided to switch to another platform.
Thanks Blynk for making me happy for few months.
Good Bye

Don’t use - won’t connect to existing Blynk iot
Don’t use this if you are trying to use Blynk to display data from your own iot hardware
