It’s actually remarkable how bad this app is.
It is far and away the worst “smart device” app I have downloaded since such devices arrived earlier this century. It would be comical were it not a component of a larger ~$9k investment. Since it is, however, it’s mostly infuriating, but also worrying that corners were cut in other ways with the final product, which I sit nude in every morning no less. Fingers crossed they fear litigation enough to approach functional safety with more seriousness than they did wireless integration.
The first keyhole into the impending user hellscape is the forced landscape mode, as though it’s a novelty app from 2009, displayed cutely alongside iBeer or perhaps Pocket God on your homescreen.
You cannot see the field you are typing in when logging in. You cannot copy/paste in either of the login fields. Your keychain will not be cued to remember the password for you. The security parameters for password changes, (which you surely will use within the first 24 hours unless “password” is your password), are weak and worrisome.
All of this is a moot point, however, since you cannot actually setup a new sauna and begin to use the app for what is intended (something I cannot begin to imagine). That is unless you go into the advanced settings of your router and manually disable your 5ghz channel…which you actually cannot do on many modern routers (ours for example). You can only hide it, if you’re lucky.
Good news, though, they addressed this issue with an upda—- no this nearly identical app that just slaps “5ghz” onto the end of the name. I stumbled onto this ugly twin with dumb “luck” if you can call it that. Thankfully it fixed everyth— just kidding it doesn’t work either. It relies on Bluetooth for initial connection vs 2.4ghz, and the device is more elusive than Predator on a foggy day when trying to connect.
I’ve chosen to believe that this pair of apps was developed by a lovely blind 15 year old relative of a Jacuzzi™ executive with a passion for coding, who will never have this review read to them. This young, aspiring, fictional developer’s happiness is the only moral justification to the app’s existence.
