### 1/5 — Hate

*2026-07-04, version 1.1.7*

Words can’t describe how much I hate this app and all of its products.

### 1/5 — constant pairing issues

*2026-04-03, version 1.1.7*

Device constantly unpairs from the app and will not repair.

### 2/5 — Daily user

*2026-01-27, version 1.1.7*

As of 01/27/26 when app launches opens for about 1 second, then close down.  Makes app unusable. Needs to be updated.

### 2/5 — Make a dark theme!

*2025-11-30, version 1.1.7*

Make a dark theme!

### 3/5 — Login

*2025-11-02, version 1.1.7*

This is the only IoT app that wants me to login every time I open it. When I need to switch device manually, usually because of emergency or something, I gotta scramble to find the password first.

### 1/5 — What happened to my login information

*2025-09-18, version 1.1.7*

I can’t find the app in my passwords because I guess it goes by another name than in my apps on my iPad. Login issues are going to happen in the future if I don’t know the apps name or I have to delete all devices and start over. That seems to be a huge undertaking. I have loved the app and smart devices for years.

### 3/5 — It’s works but…

*2025-09-01, version 1.1.7*

Lame that it doesn’t work with Apple HomeKit

### 3/5 — Schedule Settings Frustrating

*2025-08-27, version 1.1.7*

I like this app for the convenience of controlling whatever it's for, but wish the schedule was more responsive, for lack of a better way to describe it. It's easy to use, but every time, and I do mean every time I set the schedule, I have to do it twice b/c it doesn't set the first time.
I typically turn the device on then set a time for it to shut off.  I set the day, then the time, hit save.  The screen jumps to the main schedule & it's still set on the previous setting.  I have to make selection again.  It usually takes the second time, after I hit the day, time & save several times.  Occasionally it requires a third time to set.  I use it daily, sometimes several times a day, & it's very frustrating that it takes several attempts to schedule off times.  It would be a minor annoyance if it happened occasionally, but every time is more than annoying.

### 1/5 — Privacy concerns

*2025-08-08, version 1.1.7*

They ask you to consent to their predatory privacy policy or else you can’t use the app

### 1/5 — Can’t change wifi network

*2025-05-07, version 1.1.7*

Recently changed internet providers, and this app has no way to simply move to the network.
