Garbage.
App Requires mandatory gps tracking in order to register devices so they can be used. App requires email cloud account.

Useless Bluetooth
Supposedly works with Bluetooth but the range is literally about 10 feet. Absolutely useless.
I guess I’ll need to set up a home hub JUST to use this one dumb device.

Doesn’t work with Siri
The screenshots of that app with a scheduler and a settings for a control like the fingerbot are not available. There are instructions to set up the bot with Siri but none of the options are available in the app.
Does not work with voice assistants and pesters for location access
I could not get my FingerBot to function using Siri or Alexa (with the corresponding Alexa app). Still needs major work on that front.
Also, after disabling access to my location after setting it up (who knows why it even needs that to begin with?), every time I open the app it pops up an alert about enabling location services! Yeah... no thanks.

Good potential- needs some tweaks
These fingerbots are really great gadgets that help bridge the gap between old and new and/or things where you need to physically push a button on something remotely- but some Constructive criticism/suggestions for the app follow (please don’t take it the wrong way):
I love the concept and ability to remotely push a button, but first and foremost and probably easiest to fix- it Desperately needs a repeating option for the timer. Repeat every x seconds, minutes, or hours indefinitely, repeat x times, for x days, etc. Not just one time and then you have to remove the timer in order to set it again... which is clunky and annoying. Should be able to set seconds, minutes, hours.
Another option that would be ideal: To be able to schedule multiple click times on a given day within one weekly calendar menu. Something similar to a weekly or daily view in Outlook or whatever. Ex: Monday, then you set whatever times throughout the day you want it to click. Then you could set consecutive days/times...
The existing format comes close, but you can only select one time repeated on selectable days- however, you are limited to just 4 such schedules, meaning you cannot really set it to several times in one day on multiple days- just 4 times on whichever day(s). It’s a start, but this current limitation really hamstrings the potential and flexibility of the app.
Not that big of a deal, but it would streamline the experience: if you are scheduling a fingerbot to click, obviously you want it to click; you shouldn’t have to go into an operation sub menu to select it as the action (since it is the only action...) Seems redundant and inefficient.
I really hope this feedback helps improve the app so it, along with the fingerbots, can be a huge success.
