I can’t get it to recognize any of the lights or plugs. It worked fine until yesterday and just crashed. All of them ### 3/5 — Smart plug *2026-03-01* My smart plug is crashing after last update. Worked wonderfully well before the update. Now it works only a few times & then says no connection. I then reinstall it & it does the same thing. I also have 2 of the wifi thermometers & they still work perfectly. Hoping this problem with the plug can be fixed because I really like using these items in my greenhouse & if im away i can check temp in the app & if to hot i could turn on the fan plugged into the smart plug from anywhere. **Developer response:** Hello.

It kicks me out of the app often. ### 2/5 — App hard to read *2026-01-19, version 1.28.6* My iPad 13” tire pressure and temperature can’t read it is to small. You need to make the TYPESTYLE BIGGER IMMEDIATELY!!!! ### 2/5 — Very frustrated *2026-01-11, version 1.28.6* The app so far found the device ok but I cannot get it to stay in Fahrenheit. I can set and save it but as soon as I close the app, it reverts to Centigrade ### 1/5 — Not great *2025-12-16, version 1.28.4* I don’t know if it is the app or the smart plug, but it never follows the timers that I set to activate ### 2/5 — Not useful *2025-12-14, version 1.28.3* The device I purchased has animations for its leds. There is no way to add these animations to the automations part of the app. So set an animation and that’s all you can do. Does my device work with any other app? Also the support button on this App Store page leads to a QR code that leads right back to the same page. So not helpful. ### 1/5 — Stupid app *2025-12-12, version 1.28.3* Fix the app ### 1/5 — Smart plug *2025-12-12* If I could give this product anything less than a one star I would I’d give it a -5 you spend the money to get this stuff and you expected to work like it’s supposed to but then when you get it, it don’t work at all so you’ve just wasted your money And the company has gained their money. Great marketing technique terrible product do not recommend does not work. You will be very disappointed, as I am. **Developer response:** Hello.

Very frustrating ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2025-11-22, version 1.28.3* While the app launches, it’s impossible to join a device to home WiFi, the screen where you’re offered to join manually or automatically is unresponsive to any input ### 4/5 — Does the work *2025-11-21, version 1.28.3* I bought the thermometer from Amazon, the app does the work. Nothing fancy but give me what I want to know. Could be nice if you can provide a weekly graph. ### 1/5 — Works until it doesn't *2025-11-02, version 1.28.0* One day it just stops working even though it's linked to alexa - expensive garbage ### 1/5 — Disconnects *2025-11-01, version 1.28.0* Connection fails constantly. Have to keep connecting. The device keeps shutting down. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — do not buy anything that uses this app!!! *2025-07-16, version 1.26.7* I brought this lamp from amazon, that uses this app as a remote control. The 1st time it’s easy to connect but then it randomly disconnects and won’t reconnect unless you allow the app to have your bluetooth, microphone, and location on at all times. i figured this out when it took me to my setting bc i had said no to allowing them to have them. Which is extremely unsafe and uncomfortable. i will be returning this lamp and NEVER will buy from this brand ever again. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible app - “Primitive” *2026-07-02, version 1.30.0* App is clunky, works sometimes. Not intuitive or well laid out. Think was pulled together one afternoon by a middle school student. Now regret buying the hardware. ### 1/5 — Stoped working with Alexa *2026-06-19, version 1.29.5* I have several divorces linked with cozy life and Alexa just doesn’t want to connect and relink into the skill ### 1/5 — سيء جداً *2026-06-04, version 1.29.5* ربط جهاز قياس الحرارة و الرطوبة لا يعمل، كررت المحاولة عدة مرات و لكنه يفشل كل مرة، طلبت استرجاع المبلغ و اعادة الجهاز الى البائع ### 1/5 — Disaster *2026-05-28, version 1.29.5* Bought smart wifi strip lights. I had a few of these from several companies always working fine but this one I can’t even connect to it since it can’t find it lol. Completely useless garbage. ### 1/5 — Dangerous *2026-05-25, version 1.29.5* Grabs your router pw + wants your geographic location + email = all in all a very nosy app on a very cheap light. Deleted and tossed it in the recycled bin down the street. ### 1/5 — LED LIGHTS *2026-02-11, version 1.29.1* This app is trash , it will not connect to the lights , as soon as it gets to 10s an error will go , I’ve tried about 5 times and still the same issue, do NOT recommend! ### 1/5 — No verification code arrived *2026-02-04, version 1.29.0* Setup the app sent for verification code it never arrives, installed and deleted app 5 times still nothing and can’t get to speak to anyone ### 1/5 — Too basic *2026-02-03, version 1.29.0* It does its duties but in a pretty limited way. The most important issue is the, ONLY, 5 timers allowed to control devices. I need, at least, 20 ### 1/5 — 越来越差 *2026-01-01, version 1.28.5* 上面是17.5度。下面是5.6度，还强制升级，不升不能用，那你们就认真点呗，一群饭桶！ ### 1/5 — Can’t use it with apple phone. *2025-12-19, version 1.28.4* Useless software. I can’t pair the light because the continue button kids too far to the left of the screen and it won’t move when it try to swipe it. Total POS. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App works great I recommend it *2026-01-29, version 1.29.0* As long as you enter the right password and put the device to pairing mode, it should work ### 5/5 — Fantastic - worked perfectly *2025-12-31, version 1.28.5* Used this thermometer to warn me when the temperature drops in my mums mobile lodge. Set a limit and alarms tell me when that limit has been reached. Perfect for our needs, very happy with it. Thanks ### 5/5 — It just works *2025-11-15, version 1.28.2* It just works ### 5/5 — Simple *2025-08-23* Setting this up was a breeze, and after nearly a year of use, it has been invaluable in keeping me informed of my chicken coop's temperature year-round. This has been crucial in nurturing my specialty breeds to thrive. **Developer response:** Hello. Thank you for your support.

Thank you for your support. We will continue to optimize the user experience. ### 5/5 — It works *2025-01-13* I’m not sure why other people can’t connect to the device. What I did was hold the plug on/off button 5 sec. Then go to the app and join select the light (that what I want to join/use it for, also for timer light). Then it asked me to join my own home network. Asked me to put my home network password. I did all that. After that it asked me to join “cozy life” Wi-Fi (not secure one). Then it found the device. Easy. **Developer response:** Hello. Thank you for your support.

It works perfectly in my home. ### 5/5 — Great Utility *2024-04-22, version 1.20.8* Works great in my greenhouse with 20 fans ### 5/5 — Worked wonderfully and set up was fast *2023-12-11* I have been using this app for many years now and it worked fine with the smart sockets that I purchased. Now I would like to add more smart devices to it but am unsure what devices are compatible. The smart sockets were of no particular brand and when I looked them up to find more information about them and who makes them it led me to a dead end. I was curious what could be connected to this app like speakers and cameras or just switches and lights? Otherwise good simple interface and good options to interact with. The automation is precise and useful. **Developer response:** Hello. Thanks for your support.
