### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-10-13, version 1.0*

These app is junk

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with my iPhone 15 it did with my iPhone 14

*2024-05-31, version 1.0*

The app worked great with the iPhone 14 but it closes itself out when you open it on the iPhone 15.

### 1/5 — Keep crashing

*2024-05-16, version 1.0*

Every time I turn the app on it crashes and shuts off don’t even know if it works

### 1/5 — No longer works, just crashes.

*2024-04-26, version 1.0*

The app attempts to open but then crashes every time. This is happening on my iPhone 14 Pro Max.

### 5/5 — Used to work???

*2024-03-08, version 1.0*

Hallelujah all of a sudden it started working again. The app doesn’t crash and all my fans are functioning. Did you get my message and update the software? Honestly,

(updated see above) this was a great app until I bought a iPhone 14 Pro Max now all the other phones work and mine does not. I sent a message to the developer and received nothing in return. It seems to me like this is a glitch in the software when the unit tries to connect to the phone I have three fans that have modules inside one that the remote failed on and I can only use the app to change so I had to use an old phone as a dedicated fan, remote PS it is an SX max and by the way, it is also running something is up with the iPhone 14 promax scaffolding in this app. Would you mind replying and telling me you’re doing something about it? I would love to give you guys a five star review but unfortunately I cannot. Please help!!!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-11-06, version 1.0*

Very disappointed in that the app won’t even stay open on my iPhone it closes up as soon as I try and name one of my devices. I bought two. Feel ripped off.

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage of an app

*2023-08-12, version 1.0*

You can’t even choose anything, just straight in to a screen where it thinks you already have it synced. Instant delete. If I could put 0 stars I would.
