After update quit working

We have the 1050b from GLI and for the first year or 2 it worked... that is until daylight savings time came and I tried connecting to the sign to update the time. When I opened the app, my sign was not listed on the “nearby device” list. I tried uninstalling the app, I unplugged it and plugged it back in. Still don’t work. I spent $200 on a sign that now turns itself off and on over 2 hours earlier than I want it to. It’s extremely disappointing that Apple allows company’s that don’t back there product to put apps on their store. I've tried contacting the company's customer support which is non existent. Or they just don’t care to respond. I would return the sign before it’s too late.
