Was good until it wasn’t.
Worked well for a couple years. Then just stopped. Said it was asleep to shake to wake up. I did nothing happens. Changed battery, nothing happens. Just doesn’t work. Sucks cause I liked it. I’ll look for a different one now though guess.
This is messed up!
Opened my humidor and realized things were getting dry. Grabbed my phone to check the humidity and the app wouldn’t let me open it.
Says bad username or password. Tried to reset it but it wouldn’t ever send me a link to do so.
So now, I have a humidor and no way to monitor the humidity because I have to log into some account before it will access my Butler. And, no one responds to my request and no other way to reach out for help.

Drains my iPhone’s battery
I love the functionality of the app and the sensors but I discovered (via iPhone’s battery stats) that it was one of the top five apps consuming my battery life and the number one app doing so in the background. I thought I could resolve the issue by turning off Background App Refresh (which does impact functionality). It did help but, surprisingly, it still draws a more than insignificant amount of battery IN THE BACKGROUND despite having Background App Refresh turned off. I cannot recommend it until they resolve the battery drain issue.

Doesn’t update anymore
Tells me the sensor is reading 71% even though I know the humidity is much lower. The number won’t change.
Used to be great
Boveda app was amazing. New app is garbage!!! Last update was 15 days ago? But still says I have battery left? What a joke.
Forces account creation
Why does an app for a bluetooth device require an online account? What exactly are they doing with my information or data? They don’t need any of this.
Go with SensorPush instead, and keep your data private. There is no legitimate reason for anyone to collect your information for exclusively local bluetooth connections.

Very good BUT…..
Very good device. It is accurate BUT you must calibrate the sensor before you use it. Get the Boveda calibration kit and place the unit in for 24 hours. When it calibrates to the proper humidity lever then place it in your humidor. Also it is Bluetooth only so you have to be in range to see the readings. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because of lack of Wi-Fi.

Never works
Ever since the rebranding update the app almost never works. Shows me data from 10 days ago, even when I have the sensor right next to my phone. Shows that the sensor’s battery is full strength (battery is new so that part at least should be right). Now shopping for a new sensor since it’s useless without a functioning app

Good idea, crappy execution
Worst real time app i have ever used. It can never update humidity and temp properly. I thought once CI took over that it would get better but its just as bad. You would think after all these years they would’ve improved it
Update Not Just Badging
Boveda app worked beautifully - always. New update for CI was supposed to just be badging… Made me create an account. Account says registered. Still cannot login. Because of this update I can no longer monitor my humidor. Why did you do this? Was this account crap really necessary to Bluetooth monitor my humidor?

Good
Love it it need calibrated from time to time
Easy to use and very trustable
Eish they thiugjt again on the descontinuation
Randomly stopped notifying me
It randomly decided to no longer send me notifications. At some point the humidifier stopped working and I had no idea as my humidity slowly collapsed. All my notifications are on including within the app and settings, they are still on and still doesn’t work. I will now have to pull all my cigars ans pray I can rehumidfy them while reseasoning the humidor since the humidity was so low for so long it dried the wood

2 point calibration not available anymore?
Hi, I’ve been using bovedas and boveda butler for quite some time now. Today, I wanted to calibrate my butler using two points calibration. When I chose the calibrate option in the app, it does not allow me two choose 2 point calibration anymore. I can just click on 1 point 75% calibration. Is it some kind of bug? I tought that two point calibration was much better accuracy-wise. I use the butler with 69% bovedas in my cigar humidor.

UI is so slow at startup.
I hate the newer UI. I preferred the old one with the dials. It looked nicer.
Even worse, the app is so slow to start up. I have 5 sensors connected and I try to check them once a week. When I launch the app, more than a full minute will pass before the UI is responsive at all—and sometimes it is much longer than that. It is the app I use the most that I dread using because it is so annoying.

Bóveda Butler
Cigar life just got easier. Get yourself a butler.
Push notifications
Great app except I never get push notifications unless I open the app then I get tons of them fro me here I never got them. Shouldn’t I get the push notifications even with the app closed like every other app in the App Store
No Brainer To Own
How DARE you not have this if you are a cigar connoisseur. The Butler makes life simple with maintaining humidity and temperature controls in your humidor. I love this app, it takes all the guess work out. A must have for your cigar storage needs. Cheers ~ b.
Very confused
Device has been working fine for the past 2 months but now it is no longer updating to my primary device. I connect it via Bluetooth to a secondary device so I can get readings whenever I’m not home. Has been working great. I woke up yesterday and checked my primary device and it no longer had any hourly updates. I deleted the app 3 times and re downloaded it. I even logged out a couple of times and it still will not update. Although readings on my secondary device are still showing (I also turned of Bluetooth on this one) it’s not where I’m needing to get readings from. I was just going to buy another but the product is discontinued so I emailed the company. I don’t think I was speaking with a human because I clearly explained what was going on and what I did in specific detail. We have gone back and forth 3 times. I’m just going to shop elsewhere because this problem isn’t efficient enough for me to keep playing cat and mouse with the company.

Butler and app
As stated accurate and reliable.
