Basic info
At this point this app is just a basic, albeit IMO, slightly easier-to-navigate version of the Pela website. Baseline information on how to use the Lomi. I’d like to see a search function that would have a database of Do’s and Don’ts.
First version leaves room for growth
Beyond excited to have received Lomi, and the app has a sleek interface that’s easy to understand. It’s just limited being the first version, and I’m assuming there is a lot of R&D happening for future updates.
For now though, the dos and donts aren’t hugely helpful. Was hoping more for “scan your product/lookup product” feature that would then give a 🚫 or ✅ instead of the list provided in the manual. This in particular for the “Lomi approved” cycle, because I couldn’t find anything on Pelas website with that list. Likewise a picture-step through setup would be hugely helpful. I still have charcoal bits left over but not sure if that’s okay from the written instructions. Basically, users of Lomi and it’s app shouldn’t need to seek out YouTube or Pelas website for these things as they should be provided to users in the app. But as it’s the first app version and the campaign is still in its launch, it’s fine, there’s plenty of room to grow! 🌱♻️

App is just a how to manual
The Lomi machine is nice, but the app is kind of useless.
I mistakingly thought this app would allow me to connect to my Lomi and control it via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, but it does not connect to the machine at all.
All the app does is explain what the lights and functions of the machine are, which you could also just view on the website, so there’s not really any point to downloading this app.
Also, they do not support sign in with Apple, so you have to keep track of yet one more email address/password, even though it doesn’t connect to the machine at all. So I’m not really sure what the point is.

Hi ORHobbes, I just wanted to follow up on your feedback and let you know that the new Lomi does in fact connect via Bluetooth to the App! It's a huge improvement that we're excited about and brings a ton more value into the App experience.
Helpful for getting started
This is a first version for a kickstarted product, so it definitely needs some improvement. However, it’s still a useful way to get going with the Lomi. Main request is to add a first time user experience - unboxing, adding charcoal to filters, first cycle of composting. Having that as a walk through would be a huge improvement. Excited to start composting with Lomi!

App is awful
It’s a bunch of random information, nothing specific enough to make sense, no way to copy and paste your serial number into the app, makes you get under a 10 pound machine and type the numbers in one by one since it can’t be turned upside down. Should have more specific instructions on what to and not put inside it. A lookup tool for products.

Hey @tmobileamanda, we really appreciate your feedback and have made some changes directly inline with your comments! With the new Lomi Bloom not only is the Serial Number on the back for easier access but you don't have in input it at all. With the improved app the S/N will be automatically fetched when you connect to the Lomi via Bluetooth. Our guide has improved too for what can go in Lomi. No specific lookup tool yet, but it's one of the ideas that we're currently looking at.
Lots of information, but easy to use
Super user friendly app with all the tips & tricks I could ever need to help me get the most out of my Lomi! Way better than a typical manual, way easier to find information quickly. Comes with articles on composting and reducing waste which will be helpful for my low waste journey!
Super clean, smooth app!
This app is so easy to use and the FAQs are clearly listed! I love Lomi!!!!
