Ads & tracking data

They track your data and throw ads at you, even after you purchase the products and link them to the app

worst software ive ever installed

fake loading screens - unusable setup interface

never wanted to smash a device before this

Hate their advertising

I just purchased Kasa plugs to replace all my gsund plugs for 1 reason. I hate how they push ads in their app the minute it opens etc. Absolutely annoying. Hoping Kasa doesn’t do the same. If I wanted a smart lock or anything else I would ask…I don’t need to be hounded every time I open the freaking app.

So many adds

This app is so maddening to use if you want to do anything in it regularly. They have nailed the ad placement and timing so they pop up right when you are about to click on something else. Constantly opening their ads.

Don’t buy it!

Periodically the smart plugs have to be reprogrammed. This is aggravating. You have to try to reprogram them several times before it takes.

Used to be great now it’s kinda annoying.

For the most part, I have no trouble with this app. Unfortunately, over the last few months all you see is ads trying to sell you more GHome devices, and a lot of them are intrusive and require you to manually close them before you can access your devices or do anything else on the app. Thankfully you can use the Alexa app or Google Home to control GHome devices.

Enough with the ads!

The ads are so annoying. Every time I open the app to turn my light on and off an annoying ad pops up right when I’m about to click on the app. It’s like they do it on purpose so you click on the ads. Don’t waste your time. They’re always trying to sell you something.

Stop changing the app…

Can you stop changing the app? I don’t want or need WiFi access… Also, you’re latest update removed the power on/off timer… Put it back please.

What happened to timer?!

Why was the countdown timer feature gotten rid of? I used that feature almost every single day.

I keep a 2.5 WiFi line just for these smart plugs to work, don’t take away what makes them useful please

Embedded Ads

This app works well enough but it has embedded ads each use. They’re also timed to trick you on a delay, so right about the time you’re going to press a device control the ad displays which inadvertently takes you to a website. We’ve already purchased your product! Stop with the shady pop ups, make a tab on the app for purchase deals or something.

Buggy app

Constantly says the device is offline until I open the app then it realizes it isn’t offline: Causing automations to fail.

Also scene actions just randomly stopped working: the switch on action immediately turns off the switch now.

The only reason I’m not giving it 1 star is because all these bugs are recent and not long ago it worked.

Ads

I already bought your product, I should not have to wait for an ad just to turn off my light!

Full of ads

Newest updates have made it impossible to use

Horrible ads

You cant simply close the ad. You have to wait 3 seconds. I use this app to open/close lights. Now I have to wait a few seconds. Ridiculous!

Ads before I can turn control my lights

Recent update introduces pop-up ads for products before I can toggle smart plugs.

Ads

Why are there ads that I have to wait to skip so I can use my devices?

Way too many annoying ads

The ads on this app are getting worse and worse. There’s pop ups that return a couple seconds after you close them. And now when the app first launches, there’s an ad that takes the whole screen that you can’t close for 3 seconds. I just have this app to turn on/off lights in my house that have smart plugs, and waiting for these apps to get out of my way when I’m just trying to turn on a lamp is infuriating. I will be getting a different app for the smart plugs, I can’t do this anymore.

ads

I use the app to turn on/off my office light.

Opening the app to do so presents me with an unskippable
7 second ad that’s on top of another embedded ad that you see after closing the first ad.

Really kind of annoying and unnecessary.

Ok, pop ups ruin the experience

App is works well. Worst part is the pop up ads and now timed pop up ads for their products. I use the app mainly to control smart plugs but the pop ups are awful. I’ve already purchased some of your products if you want to advertise more ok, but pop ups make me consider buying different smart plugs.
