### 1/5 — Filled with ads and spam

*2026-08-23, version 3.15.1*

I just want to keep my home clean. I don’t want to earn points to redeem at the ecovacs store for more accessories. Why is the vacuum app set up like a gacha game?

### 3/5 — Gets stuck

The vac seems to get stuck a fair bit on a lot of things like cords

A part on my original vacuum broke and they took care of it by sending me a brand new vacuum! I’m beyond impressed

### 1/5 — Volume

*2026-08-17, version 3.15.1*

App ignores volume setting on software updates. It’s like unexpected person in your house with a loudspeaker.

### 1/5 — Worst app and mapping ever

*2026-08-16, version 3.15.1*

The mapping in this app is just a nightmare!

### 5/5 — yiko

*2026-08-16, version 3.15.1*

Can’t always get Yiko to answer especially when back at base after a clean or even while cleaning sometimes

### 2/5 — Terrible. Robot cannot connect to WiFi

*2026-08-15, version 3.15.1*

Tried every troubleshooting step. Switched to 2.4GHz, wasted a couple of hours.
