### 1/5 — Constantly logged out, poor naming

*2026-08-23, version 9.5.0*

Super poor development, always getting logged out and typing “Philips” to search for the app suggests Philips Hue first, not sure they registered the Philips domain name with the app so that the app and password get attached to their domain

### 5/5 — Fast n Clean

*2026-08-22, version 9.5.0*

The app allowed me to cut my shave time way down yet keep a close shave. I thought it was going to be useless, but it’s really helpful.

### 3/5 — Pas de version Ipad

*2026-08-15*

Très bonne application, pratique et relativement bien pensée. Dommage qu’il n’existe pas de véritable version optimisée pour iPad en plein écran : l’application est actuellement proposée uniquement pour iPhone sur l’App Store. Une version adaptée au grand écran de l’iPad serait vraiment un plus !

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2026-08-14, version 9.5.0*

On the packaging if my newly purchased MG3915 all-in-one trimmer is a QR code labeled "Register to unlock up to a 5 year warranty". 
However the code leads to this somewhat promotional app and if there is any mention of warranty registration it is rather well hidden.

### 5/5 — Good to have

*2026-08-14*

Good support for the Philips shaving ecosystem. I liked their skin analysis piece. 

It would be good if they plan to cover all grooming and oral care products.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your support! We cherish this feedback and hope you enjoy the experiences we have planned for years to come!

### 2/5 — 新版本更新后 不显示刀片使用寿命了

*2026-08-07*

更新新版本后，不显示刀片使用寿命了，取消了？还是软件bug？

**Developer response:** 感谢您的反馈。刀片寿命显示功能取决于产品型号和当前应用版本。请先确认 App 已更新到最新版本，并重启手机后再次查看。如果更新后仍未显示，欢迎通过 Philips.com/Support 联系我们，我们很乐意协助您进一步确认。

### 3/5 — Blade life algorithm needs work

*2026-08-04, version 9.4.0*

For a number of reasons I returned my 2025 Philips 8696 shaver for a new one in February 2026. I love the shaver. I reloaded GroomTribe and after a month using the brand new shaver the app is showing 31% of life remaining on the blades. I’ve been a Phillips user for over 60 years and I can tell that I have that number is no where near accurate. I have seen the same comment by others. The developer needs to change how this percentage is calculated.

In addition, the app doesn’t show the correct replacement for my cleaning pod. For whatever reason it shows the old Philips JetClean fluid.

The app is useless.

### 5/5 — Me encanta

*2026-07-30, version 9.4.0*

Buena

### 1/5 — 两台9000系列的产品至今为止无法连接

*2026-07-26*

难绷的ui，装死的蓝牙，10年老用户真的心累，越来越倒退了啊

**Developer response:** 感谢你的反馈。若两台 9000 系列设备都无法连接，建议确认已开启蓝牙，并通过 GroomTribe 应用内进行配对，而不是在手机蓝牙设置中配对。同时请更新应用、重启手机和设备，并确保已授予应用所需权限。如果仍无法连接，我们很乐意进一步协助，请访问 https://philips.to/4u8GwdQ

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-07-22, version 9.4.0*

Tells you when you are shaving wrong
