### 3/5 — New customer

*2026-07-17, version 2.27.16*

I’d like to be able to see a trend history.

### 2/5 — Analysis data is garbage

*2026-07-06, version 2.26.44*

The app keeps loosing track of our dehumidifying time for very long periods, more than 24 hours. Fix your app!!

### 2/5 — Worked well for two weeks

*2026-07-05, version 2.26.44*

The app worked well for my dehumidifier for about two weeks. Now it suddenly won’t track the hours a day it’s running. Tried turning it off for a bit but still won’t track. I do hear it come on occasionally so I know it’s running.

### 4/5 — It’s getting better

*2026-07-03, version 2.26.44*

We’ve been using this system and app for 3+ years now. It’s getting better, but there are some things that I’d like to see:

1. Reflect Stage 1 & Stage 2 cooling in the app for better visibility as to what is going on. 
2. Allow for custom labels in scheduling, and more than four. “Wake, Leave, Return, Sleep” is narrow and annoying. 
3. Add predictability. If we’re in a heat wave, recognize cooling is going to have to start sooner. Nest figured this out over a decade ago.

### 2/5 — Feature less

*2026-06-23, version 2.26.44*

You can’t schedule when it comes on, the internal temp is always wrong, you can’t set alarms for when it’s off. Just missing features all around

### 3/5 — Outside Temp Issue

*2026-05-17, version 2.25.20*

The app can’t always display the outside temp and humidity. It’s hit and miss…and mostly miss.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2026-05-11, version 2.25.20*

By having this app. If I need to change from on to off, cool to heat, or just auto. Makes life easier.

### 2/5 — Ok but needs improvement

*2026-05-05, version 2.25.20*

The app would benefit from more flexible control over fresh air ventilation. Currently, the only options available are off, Auto, 3 hours, or 12 hours, which feels quite limiting and doesn't suit all situations. For example, in areas where homes are still under construction, it's important to prevent dust and fine drywall particles from being drawn into the house.

We need the option to disable fresh air intake during certain periods but not manually, So it needs to be included as part of the scheduling feature, allowing us to control when it runs based on our needs.

Overall, the app is functional, but it does need improvements. By the way, the Alexa skills never worked for me.

### 5/5 — AprilAire WiFi Dehumidifier

*2026-04-12, version 2.25.16*

Having an app to allow me to check the humidity in my crawl space has been amazing. Peace of mind knowing everything is working correctly is well worth the money spent!! Thank you AprilAire!!!

### 5/5 — Crawl Space Control

*2026-04-06, version 2.24.54*

This WiFi AprilAre digital thermostat is installed in the crawl Space to run my 
AprilAire E070 dehumidifier.
Now I’m not using this digital thermostat to its full capacity of what it can really do, but it works perfectly to monitor the humidity, and adjust remotely as needed.

If there could be one improvement that I would like to see for my application, it would be a delay before the humidifier would turn off. Basically, allow the dehumidifier to run 3% below the digital set point before turning off the dehumidifier. This would eliminate frequent on off cycles. Basically, control the dehumidifier the same way the internal dehumidifier thermostat works . Hopefully, AprilAire engineers read these reviews?

Thanks,

Bob

### 5/5 — 2nd year using 800 humidifier

*2026-04-06, version 2.24.54*

It is great.  Customer support is outstanding. I only wish I could monitor its operation with wifi like you EO70W dehumidifier unit. I monitor energy use with a Sense monitor but will go with Shelly module. Please consider more monitoring capabilities. Thanks for good work

### 5/5 — Love Aprilaire

*2026-03-31, version 2.24.54*

Can’t live without it. So convenient

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — FIX THE APP

*2026-07-27, version 2.27.16*

App worked well for a while now it just closes as soon as I open the app.

### 1/5 — App stoped working after last update

*2026-07-12, version 2.27.16*

Ever since the last update when I click on the app is just closes. Please fix ASAP

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2026-06-23, version 2.26.44*

Constantly disconnecting and then takes multiple tries to reconnect. Nothing intuitive about it.

### 1/5 — No development

*2026-06-10, version 2.26.44*

This app has been in years for years and they’ve done very little to update it to modern times for example should be able to lock it so nobody can increase the temperature or lower. It should use a password but now I got some silly thing everybody else I don’t recommend April air

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2026-06-05, version 2.26.44*

Garbage app constantly disconnecting, useless

### 1/5 — No Matter or Apple Home support

*2026-05-28, version 2.26.44*

Hi your walled garden is bad and you should feel bad. Please integrate with an open spec like Matter so that I can use this with Apple Home. I don’t want to use this app.  I just want to turn on my humidifier based on my home automations in my ecosystem. Thanks.

### 1/5 — App freezes often

*2026-04-01, version 2.24.54*

Slow and freezes all the time

### 1/5 — Great when it works

*2026-03-18, version 2.23.58*

As my title says. This app is a great app. I really enjoy it. However, it just doesn’t work for me after a few days. I’ve sent over some requests with no answers.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-01-04, version 2.22.14*

My app was working great for years, then stopped more than a year ago.   Error is “Server is experiencing problems.  Please check back later.  Some customers are seeing server performance issues.  We are aware of the issue and are working hard to fix it….”  The thermostat is working fine locally.  There’s no way to delete the thermostat from the app, so I created an entirely new account, and reconnected the thermostat to my home WiFi again.  Now the app just says “failed to verify connection to AprilAire cloud”.  Is there anything I can do to get this to work?  Mac is b4:82:55:00:9a:cd

### 1/5 — Lack features found in others

*2026-01-02, version 2.22.14*

I’ve been trying to work with AprilAire for the past 6 month to update their legacy technology.  Their app is absolutely the worst app in the market for smart thermostats.  They should go buy a Nest or Evobee and see why this are so successful.

Many modern features aren’t available

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-05-24, version 2.25.20*

It is so easy to control all of my equipment (furnace, humidifier, dehumidifier, ventilation, air purification) from this application. I like the ability to see when my filters need to be changed as well as how long a device has been running

I have used this application to adjust my hone temperature from a commercial airline.

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2026-05-12, version 2.25.20*

The app is really easy to use. I love it when I forget to change the schedule when I’m going out of town and I can just go adjust it in the app. I also love how easy it is to set days and times for the week with the copy function.

### 5/5 — Heat/Air

Wonderful app to remotely monitor household temperature. Highly recommend.
