Waste of an app and excessive ewaste
1) The “sensor” they attached to the filter is just a dumb countdown timer, interferes with the tight clearances in the filter holder, and is just more toxic ewaste.
2) There is no reason to give Filtrete access to my private data when a simple reminder set in my phone does the same thing.
The app claims to actually measure filter use and airflow. I removed one of the sensors and put it in a plastic bag where there is no airflow and no filter usage to measure. It is still recording filter use. So far it’s recorded 6% use in 4 days. At this rate it will have me replacing the filter in a little over 2 months.

Buggy or no longer working with barcode scans?
I noticed on the back of the packaging that you could start a 90 day replacement reminder using their app. After downloading it went to scan this filter’s packaging barcode, as instructed, and gave an error message saying “Try again” over and over. I’ll just keep setting a reminder in my phone to swap them out.
Great app in concept but not if it’s faulty.

Well built and does a fantastic job.
Good app but still needs work
We’re almost a year into iOS 26 and Liquid Glass but the Filtrete Widget still fails to display anything when Liquid Glass is enabled on the Home Screen. Would be nice to have the widget work with a feature of the OS. There were several apps that had issues early on but every one of those apps have fixed this issue and most of them months ago. Please address this before iOS 27 is released!

Awesomeness
Awesome!
Useless App
I cannot get past a system error on the app when trying to set up a new filter. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it with no success in getting it to work properly.
Filtrate Review
I love the app. A great reminder to keep track of your filter usage…
Clean air
Perfect
WIFI FILTER
Good idea but incredibly expensive and very hard to get
Does not work
Doesn’t notify me anymore when it is time to change a filter
Went from good to annoying
Find a way to save and reuse my previous settings thanks.
Been using app for a while and now all of a sudden I need to enter the dimensions for every filter? I have 12. It knew last time. Why enter new dimensions again? Why ask me what type of filter? And MERV. That’s like 10 button presses per filter times 12. 120 interactions to simply get a 90 day reminder.
I don’t use the smart filters. I just wanted a timer. There are easier ways to get my marketing data.

I love this app! The fact that I don’t have to try to remember when to change my air filter and I’m notified on time every month is so helpful. This provides the ultimate reassurance for myself and my to ensure that our home air is as clean as possible.
Weird Setup this time around
The calibration to replace another Smart filter was a bit problematic. And suddenly this app just detected it after I had even asked. tech support to call me back.
Terrible new intervals
I replace my filters every 2 months, but they have now changed the app where you can only set the replacement to 90, 180, or 365 days. Really dumb to not be able to have more selection of change intervals.
Why change frequency??
Used this app for several years with no issues using 30 day replacement schedule. Now only 3, 6 and 13 months. If you’re changing it why not make an option for your own schedule. Just pretty well made app useless.
Filter Reminder - 3, 6, or 12 month ONLY
The ONLY reason I downloaded this app was for the filter timer/reminder. Depending on the season, I need either 4 or 5 months. Sadly, this app as it is, is of no use to me.
In consistent
I love the smart filters but they are hard to find and some of them the Bluetooth is not consistent.
Great when they stay connected
They have trouble connecting and stop communicating after a few hours. Either battery sucks or who knows
Basic
Good if you purchase their smart filters… Otherwise it’s kind of a useless countdown clock. They used to let you change how often the filter should be changed, they had that feature now. So you get one star. Thanks for nothing.
New year new filter
Why do I have to use shims to secure my filter that has ALWAYS fit before
