### 1/5 — Bring back the actual app for iPhone

*2023-05-02*

This app is virtually unusable now for iPhone. It was annoying at first but I dealt with the extra step. But now it’s useless. My device is recognized and I see the name and everything, but it never connects. Says to check the serial number again. I give up. Getting a different brand. Totally ruined my pax experience and I loved my little vape :(

### 1/5 — Rarely works

*2023-01-01, version 1.2.0*

I hate this app if I’m being honest. Pax used to have their own, real app that worked so smoothly but with this one, I can hardly ever get my pen to connect. I thought maybe it was the pen itself so I bought a new one. Nope. When it does finally connect, I have trouble finding the pod I have, or getting it to select the pod and then I’ll randomly disconnect me. It’s frustrating and makes me sad. I want the old app back! :(

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2022-12-21, version 1.2.0*

App use to work but as you can see by the other recent reviews it no longer works with pax items

### 1/5 — Pax era pro is sad

*2022-12-05, version 1.2.0*

Bought my new pax era pro yesterday and Followed all the instructions given to connect it. Been shaking my pax pen for a whole 10 minutes.. literally and still no blue flashing light. If you’re a buyer don’t look forward to the advertised connecting to phone via Bluetooth.

### 1/5 — Would be nice if it worked consistently

*2022-11-20, version 1.2.0*

Hit or miss when it comes to this app. Great when it works but it’s been a long while since it’s worked like it’s supposed to. Very frustrating

### 1/5 — WHY

*2022-10-28, version 1.2.0*

Who asked for this? This new app is trash and the old one was so much better. This is not user friendly or intuitive at all. I don’t even want to mess with the temp of my pen because I don’t want to deal with this app.

### 3/5 — As good as it can be

*2022-10-25, version 1.2.0*

Absolutely shameful that apple removed the old app from the store. The old app was wonderful and well made. Given the ban by apple, this app works fine but the necessary connectivity is irksome. Feels like there’s fewer features in the new web app. 

Still, props to evading Apple in a way they can’t stop.

### 2/5 — Not very functional

*2022-10-13, version 1.2.0*

The format might look pretty but it’s a pain to navigate this app- which is in itself basically a shortcut to a buggy webpage…

### 1/5 — This app isn’t user friendly at all

*2022-09-26, version 1.2.0*

App barely works. All of a sudden I can’t connect and do anything. Awesome product but this app makes something that should be EASY… difficult and frustrating

### 1/5 — Does Not work with iPhones!!!

*2022-09-21, version 1.2.0*

I tried multiple times to connect my Pax Era Pro to my iPhone and it won’t work. There is no data on how to address the issue on their website.
