There’s no way to add use its features with any Apple native functionality such as widgets, shortcuts, automations, or even basic usage with Apple Watch. Otherwise, it’s decently fast and simple enough. ### 1/5 — Eski sürümü geri getirin *2025-02-10, version 1.55* Berbat bi hale gelmiş eski sürümü daha iyiydi çözmek için ugrastım bişey oldugu yok berbatsınız eski sürümü getirin ### 1/5 — Expensive more than expensive *2025-02-04* 9900 rupees per 50 devices and then yearly it will be 1lakh . Individuals will not afford . ### 1/5 — Costa troppo *2025-02-01, version 1.55* Avevo acquistato molta energia su Blynk legacy. Per un periodo ho eseguito pure il mio server, ma poi hanno rimosso l’applicazione legacy dallo store. Ha deluso molti hobbysti che si sono fidati. Nata con l’idea dell’open source, finita come tutte le altre a cercare di monetizzare a più non posso. ### 1/5 — ANNOYING. *2025-02-01, version 1.55* This app is absolutely NOT. beginner friendly..It’s pretty annoying to use if you are new. You should use another app. ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas *2025-01-24* Crash dès le début lorsque l’on s’inscrit et après impossible de lancer l’application ### 1/5 — Güvenilmez *2024-12-20, version 1.53* Sık sık işmodeli değiştiriyorlar, her yenilik müşteri aleyhine oluyor, güvenilmezler ### 1/5 — App không thân thiện với người dùng *2024-11-27, version 1.53* App như đầu buồi.không thiết lập được bằng điện thoại ### 5/5 — Great job for raspberry pi *2024-11-15, version 1.53* Its easy to use and coding not flexible ### 4/5 — Brilliant IOT Ecosystem *2024-09-11, version 1.51* Simple to use well documented good entry level option reliable and very broad support The only downside for me is the lack of stepped plans … next plan up for me is 10x the price so I am a bit stuck! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Reliability was non existent *2026-04-10, version 1.67* It was terrible, it took me over 5 hours to get the code to start working all because of a system glitch ### 1/5 — notification *2026-03-06* notification alert is not coming in popup ### 1/5 — Tutorials too difficult for novice *2025-12-26, version 1.65* Not able to wade through tutorials successfully. Written by experts… not accessible for novices ### 1/5 — Too bad *2025-09-26, version 1.62* Terrible! I had a Blynk account and after 6 months of inactivity, the app automatically deleted my entire account without any warning or notification. All my data, configurations, and projects were completely gone. It’s unbelievable that an IoT platform would “wipe out” users’ accounts just because they didn’t log in for a while. This is an absolutely awful and unreasonable experience! I strongly advise everyone to think twice before using this app, unless you want to risk losing all your hard work. ### 1/5 — Delusional *2025-09-23, version 1.62* I bought a lot of energy on the legacy app, they removed everything. Sad ### 1/5 — 利用してはいけない。使えないアプリ。 *2025-07-14, version 1.59* まあ最初は便利だったんですけどね。 今ではメリットは特に無課金ではほぼありません。 ちょっとしたIotもどきに数千円出せる人のみが対象です。 ああ、ここ今はまた違っています。数千円ではなく、14000円ですね。 まあ、ありえないです。 また、2022年以前のネットの書き込みは一切使えませんから、日本語でも英語でもネットで役にたつ情報はほぼありません。 勝手に一方的な仕様変更を毎年のように行いますから、有料のカスタマーサポートを受けられるようなお大尽でも無ければ個人でこれをつかってはいけません。 会社や組織の場合、後輩や引き継いだ人が迷惑しますから使わないでください。 まあ、使えないでしょうが。 ### 1/5 — Blynk *2025-06-19, version 1.58* Unstable. Error messages while changing screens. I ran out of credit before trying to do something. Too expensive. I quit ### 1/5 — Removing My account and Data *2025-04-29, version 1.57* Unfortunately they removed my account and no one answering me anymore. All my data is gone now ### 1/5 — Lỗi hiển thị từ cảm biến gửi lên app + web . Lỗi thông báo sự kiện??? *2025-03-05, version 1.55* ?? ### 1/5 — Ottimizzazione ad iPadOS *2025-03-03, version 1.55* L’app dovrebbe essere integrata completamente agli schermi di iPad, non solo un ingrandimento dello schermo di un iPhone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App *2026-06-17, version 1.68* Excellent ### 5/5 — Insane *2026-04-03, version 1.67* As a 16 year old vibecoder with 0 experience I can use and make my own apps this is incredible!!!! ### 5/5 — Wonderful app! *2026-01-26, version 1.66* This app worked very well for what I needed it for, I use it to control my ESP32-S3 over WiFi and with the wide range of widgets I was able to get all I wanted and more for free! ### 5/5 — D- *2025-10-13, version 1.63* แอพหมาๆๆๆๆๆๆกาากๆๆๆๆๆๆๆ ### 5/5 — Tốt *2025-09-07, version 1.61* Tốt ### 5/5 — 心電系統 *2025-08-03, version 1.61* 分析統計結果 ### 5/5 — Great option to control your devices out home *2025-04-02, version 1.56* Great app ### 5/5 — GOAT *2025-03-01, version 1.55* GOAT ### 5/5 — Very good *2024-12-15, version 1.53* That’s perfect ### 5/5 — This is huge!!! *2024-12-11, version 1.53* Whoa, I didn’t know such products exist. It’s so much deeper than just the IoT application builder, it’s a complete IoT solution with user management, OTA, and sooo much more I regret finding it only now, after so many months wasting on building my own app for the project my company has been working on 💖👍👌 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
