### 2/5 — App

*2025-03-09, version 3.6*

App NOT WORKING!!!!!

### 2/5 — Minimalistic app that kinda works

*2025-01-26, version 3.6*

Seems ridiculous to me that in this day and age to have an app that doesn’t conform to the basic protocol and isn’t “rotationally aware”.  Not everyone uses their iPad in the traditional orientation, and having an app that won’t rotate to conform is disappointing.

But… it does handle the most basic controls for multiple devices.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t see fans

*2024-10-23, version 3.6*

Worthless.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-07-26, version 3.6*

The title says it all

### 1/5 — Just stopped connecting

*2024-07-05, version 3.6*

Magically no longer connects to my fan.

### 1/5 — Fanimation should refund everyone who bought their fans

*2024-06-05, version 3.6*

By far the worst “smart” device (I should say devices because I have three of their fans) in my home and if I hadn’t spent so much money on them to begin with, I’d cut my losses and buy new fans. It seems fanimation learned since their WiFi product rather higher than the abysmal two stars here! They no doubt used the profits from this product to bankroll a product that actually works.

### 1/5 — Shortcuts

*2023-09-26, version 3.6*

This needs to be made fully compatible with iOS shortcuts so that this can be used with HomeKit.

### 1/5 — More american garbage.

*2023-04-14, version 3.6*

Pops design. China, please design an app that works for these fans.

### 4/5 — Ugly basic app that works

*2022-06-13, version 3.6*

I had low expectations for this aspect of my new fan, didn’t even realize it had app control. As far as smart home tech goes, it’s super basic and BT only isn’t awesome - but it works if you are too lazy to get up and find the remote. It seems to get out of sync if you use multiple input devices at the same time. It’s not been updated for various screen sizes. Obviously could be better, but I’ve also used far far worse.

### 1/5 — no fan direction?

*2021-12-29, version 3.6*

I use this app for bluetooth connection. it paired and worked instantly. The only issue so far is this app doesn’t have winter/summer button to change fan direction. and whenever I turn on the fan via this app, it is in summer mode (air down direction). Please add the direction button and remember the last direction setting.

update:  it’s worse than I thought. all I need is to launch the app the fan changes direction. 
and the app doesn’t even attempt to read the latest speed state either. it launched at full speed. will be deleting this app.
