Truly Terrible

Low functionality. Very glitchy. When it works it does the bare minimum - turn the heater on and off, adjust the temp. Remote access is hit and miss. Often completely unavailable to connect. Not possible to actually set custom times you want the heater to turn on / off. It’s a shame this company has clearly placed zero focus on this side of their product

Truly awful

What an example of an app that has just been left to rot. From a so called premium fire supplier I expected better. Save time and effort. Just use the provided old style remote instead.

Worst app ever

Same as the other app that they have. don’t waste you money buying their product if you like smart home integration!!

Hmmm…

Has never really worked well. Occasionally works until you would like to switch fire on remotely then app cannot find fire or app crashes. Incredibly frustrating and not reliable. Best to just forget that you can use app on phone and accept that you can only use the remote provided with the fire. I have wasted many hours trying to get it to work…

Escea know this app is terrible and yet do nothing about it. When people ask me about my fire I tell them to never buy Escea because of this app.
