Won’t let me sign up
Says the privacy page won’t load. So app won’t work.
Incorrectly reports status
App constantly says ‘Foobot not connected to internet’ when in fact it could be anything - e.g. phone isn’t connected, poor connection, just taking a while. Overly simplistic implementation as EVERY time my device at homes connection is, in fact, just fine. Surprising given cost of the device.
Years of good service
I bought my Foobot in 2016! I’m impressed with how it quietly continues to work. Whereas most smart home equipment needs to be paired with a hub, I can use this app to check my home temperature, humidity, and pollution from anywhere.
It’s amazing what you can learn: did someone leave the window open? Doing the cleaning? Next door has burnt their dinner? It’s all charted.

Unable to login
On-screen keyboard on my phone completely covers the password field on the login screen, so I’m unable to login. At this time the app is useless and has signs of non/existent quality control.

Terrible design and worse customer service
The app is buggy, slow to update, and customer service is terrible.
LED Timer stopped working
I was happy with the Foobot and app, but the LED timer setting stopped working recently in the app.
DON’T BUY A FOOBOT YET
Bad UI all the way down to something as no brainer as using a slider that goes from midnight to midnight for setting time that the LEDs are on. What if someone works night shift? What if someone wants them to come on exactly at 8:00? Can’t set either of those because .. slider. Review basic UI design principles or test on some folks (not us) who can give feedback *before* you release.
NOT to imply that that is representative of all the issues, it isn’t, but simply that they can’t even get the simplest thing right. Read other reviews for the major bugs like wrong data, etc.

Color scheme on app changed
Can you please bring back the old color scheme from a year ago? Now it is monochromatic. It’s more difficult to use now.
Poor quality and even poorer customer service
My Foobot lasted a few weeks before it would not connect to my phone anymore. I contacted customer service and after many emails they sent me a replacement foobot that did not work. I then sent that back with money out of my own pocket and they kept on saying They would send another one out and after 10 plus emails later They said they would refund my money which they never did. I think this company is run by a bunch of high school students out of a garage. Look elsewhere for better customer service and better quality.
