### 5/5 — Works well

*2026-05-24, version 3.3.7*

Efficient app with easy to use function.  But let’s get real, it’s an app to turn on a fan. Should work and it does!

### 5/5 — Great Fan

*2026-05-20, version 3.3.7*

This is a wonderful fan easy to control and cools a large room.

### 5/5 — Helpful Summer & Winter

*2026-05-17, version 3.3.7*

The fan and app work very well together, no issues. I wish the control for “ECO” was included within the features for scheduling. That way I could use ECO while we’re sleeping and won’t feel the faster breeze during winter.

### 5/5 — Superb product

*2026-05-10, version 3.3.7*

We are 18 months into our BAF journey and loving every minute of it.  Having a fan that can move substantial amounts of air to both keep us cool and drive the insects away has turned our back porch into a year round usable space.  We had no idea the fan could move so much air that the mosquitos stay away.  Game changer for sure!

### 5/5 — Ahead of its time

*2026-05-09, version 3.3.7*

Had this fan over five years and appreciate all of the updates that they keep making to the software application for the management of the fan via Bluetooth and my smart phone

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-05-08, version 3.3.7*

Love the fans and love the app.

### 5/5 — Exeeded Expectations

*2026-05-01, version 3.3.7*

I was surprised how intuitive the application is.

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing!!!

*2026-04-29, version 3.3.7*

I expected the fans to be very high-quality and worked really well especially for the pretty big price tag…. But why didn’t expect is how simple the user interface would be for the app to control these fans!!! I have several of the haiku fans in my home and they are all worth every single penny and the fact that this app works flawlessly to control them is just absolutely mind blowing. A+ out of 10 definitely would recommend!!!

### 5/5 — Buy one

*2026-04-26, version 3.3.7*

They are great buy one. Don’t be poor.

### 5/5 — Great Fans

*2026-04-17, version 3.3.7*

I have four of the Haiku fans in my house. They’ve been working perfectly for years. The extremely low power consumption is appreciated since I use solar panels and two batteries to power my house. The app is intuitive and easy to use. Have never had a glitch or a problem.

### 5/5 — Huge UX Uplift

*2026-04-15, version 3.3.7*

Have been using Haiku fans for years. The software layer is so much better and the one time I had an issue the customer service in Australia was awesome. If I had one wish, swap over my older fan wifi modules to the new ones that don’t need wifi bands under channel 10 and support homekit. I bought one but was $300 and don’t know how to swap it as no manual.

### 5/5 — Excellent performance!

*2026-04-05, version 3.3.7*

I love these fans. The app works flawlessly.  And they have  excellent customer service.

### 5/5 — Love the ease

*2026-04-02, version 3.3.7*

Love the way the fan looks in our room, as well as the way we can operate the fan from our phone. We have had many compliments the way the fan design t

### 5/5 — Best Fan

*2026-03-28, version 3.3.7*

I’ve had several fans over the years and this by far is the best. I purchased two Haiku’s. Their minimalist style suited me just fine. For the do-it-your selfers they made it immensely easy to install. They cost a little more but they’re worth it.  I’ve one little problem.  I used the app to link the fan to my HVAC. The function doesn’t work.  Would be nice if it did.

### 5/5 — Love these haiku fans

*2026-03-27, version 3.3.7*

Fans can be gentle and quiet and also powerful when needed. App works well. Able to integrate with Home Assistant and Apple Home. Auto mode works well. And they look great.

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2026-03-19, version 3.3.7*

I love my fans. The app is stable with no issues. They do a great job keeping it updated. Works with all my fans and lights without issues. Great fans and excellent control with the app.

### 5/5 — Best fans ever

*2026-03-16, version 3.3.7*

Best fans I have  owned. Will buy again!!!!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-03-10, version 3.3.7*

Silent. Smooth. The only downside is the price. You pay that once and have the best fan forever.

### 5/5 — Hooray for Haiku

*2026-03-08, version 3.3.7*

Love my two haiku fans and the app allows easy control. It’s been 10 years, and they are all going strong.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ugh this is so annoying

*2026-04-06, version 3.3.7*

I hate everything about our fan. The app doesn’t sync well, so the light turns on and off but the app just bounces back to off (even if the light stays on). It’s constantly telling me it can’t find my fan (internet doesn’t change). If the light goes higher than 70% it emits this terrible screeching sound (out of warranty because the previous owners bought it, tough luck). I really, really hate this fan and I really, really hate this app.

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2025-11-03, version 3.3.6*

The app is horrible. Connection issues. I won’t connect to local network. Haiku fans. A different model connected to the same network. Very unreliable connection. For the cost of these fans they should have no issues.

### 1/5 — Lost function of ceiling light in latest firmware and app update

*2025-09-14, version 3.3.6*

Downloaded latest update on 9/11 and now can’t turn on the ceiling light. The app does not show light anymore and the light does not turn on with physical remote.

### 1/5 — Continues it downward trajectory

*2025-08-04, version 3.3.5*

Firmware update is nonexistent when selecting 
Regularly Falls Off WiFi 
Has become a headache

### 1/5 — Woosh function broken by firmware update!

*2025-06-04, version 3.3.4*

Firmware update broke the woosh function on our Haiku fan. They say it’s a known issue and they’re “working on it.”  Very frustrated that the main reason we got this fan was for that feature and it’s been busted for months. Please fix this soon!

### 1/5 — App not working with haiku fan

*2024-11-27, version 3.3.2*

I continue to have issues connecting app with fan. I cannot submit ticket online either from my iPhone. Form not working on submit. Haiku fan is now deciding to start on its own now and only way to prevent it is to take out batteries from controller.
I tried to download app again but cannot connect to the fan. Old app Haiku says retired but it stopped working a few years ago.
Help.

### 1/5 — Please quit using trackers on your apps

*2024-05-27, version 3.2.1*

I like, not love your app. 

Tracking (29 according to Apple) my usage isn’t cool given the price of your products. I should be eligible for discreet usage.

### 1/5 — Lacks Apple Home Kit Integration

*2023-02-11, version 3.1.0*

Spent thousands of dollars to apparently get the best fans money can buy. And then we realise they cut corners and forgot to add Apple Home Kit Integration. One star until that’s implemented.

### 1/5 — Light randomly turns on in the middle of the night

*2023-02-03*

DON’T use this app if you can help it. The old app was soooo much better. Not only is the new UI really unintuitive, it’s just really buggy. 

Since “upgrading” my light now randomly turns on in the middle of the night if I turn in my bed. I’ve tried every way I can’t think of to make it stop. I’ve tried making schedules. I’ve tried manually turning it off. I’ve tried turning it off manually at the wall control and nothing works. It just keeps waking me up in the middle of the night randomly. 

The old app worked great for years. Not sure how they screwed this up so bad.

**Developer response:** Hello, we're sorry to hear that you're experiencing an issue with your light turning on randomly. This is not a commonly reported issue, but our team would be happy to help you troubleshoot it. Make sure that your light is not in "Auto" mode and that the "Return to Auto" function is disabled. If you continue to experience problems, please contact us at support@bigassfans.com or call 1 (877) 244-3267.

### 1/5 — Put all the rooms on the same screen

*2022-08-20, version 3.1.0*

Too many clicks to get what you need. Make it so you can swipe from one room to the next. Or better yet just put them all on the same screen or something you have to click out of each room to get into the other room and then click or swipe from light to fan speed. Super inefficient usage.

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2026-08-18, version 3.3.8*

BAF’s excellent quality fans deserve and get this well designed app for detailed feature control of each connected fan. UI is very nicely done. Easy WIFI connection for administration and control of the deep feature set. Don’t miss this gem if you own a BAF fan.

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2026-08-09, version 3.3.8*

Simple to use, excellent functionality and concise. One of my other apps (Stelo) just released a new version and it’s an ugly, complicated mess filled with new, useless features. BAF’s developers understand and deliver needed functionality without useless frills.  Plus the app is highly intuitive and attractive. Keep it up!!!

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2026-07-27, version 3.3.8*

This company makes the best ceiling fans by far! The app is super helpful for keeping them updated and I can control them using my phone! Super helpful when I can’t find the remote!

### 5/5 — Simple and Functional

*2026-07-26, version 3.3.8*

I love being able to control the lighting and fan output from my phone! It’s easy to use and has a clean design.

### 5/5 — Haiku

*2026-07-25, version 3.3.8*

Such great fans. The app is super easy and reliable too.

### 5/5 — The best…

*2026-07-19, version 3.3.8*

B.A.F makes the best fans… and now the best fan app too 👌🏾

### 5/5 — Not only is the fan awesome, but this app is too.

*2026-06-28, version 3.3.7*

Awesome product

### 5/5 — Floridian delight

*2026-06-15, version 3.3.7*

Great fan … powerful , durable , quality ,looks terrific on my patio and works seamlessly  with the app … very happy with this product.

### 5/5 — Great Fan

*2026-06-06, version 3.3.7*

I control my patio fan. You can open the app and see what the temperature is on the patio. Awesome feature way more accurate than any weather app. Do I want to got out and set on the patio? Let me check…I’ll put on a sweatshirt and be comfortable

### 5/5 — 4 fans

*2026-05-28, version 3.3.7*

The fans are great technology! Set Temperature and fans are automatic like furnace. Differently a great addition to HVAC. With ability to change direction with app you can make comfortable during any season. Love the look and features. They are a little pricey compared to competitors.
