### 1/5 — No English and forces registration

*2025-09-24*

Hoto products have great hardware design. I do not see why we have to register on the app and agree to privacy policies if we just want to change settings on our Hoto tool. In my case, I wanted to adjust the settings on the laser measuring tool.

Upon registering, the app requests access to WiFi, Home, and more. All this to just change the units of measurement for my laser?

Then, when it comes time to pair with the device, it just flat out doesn’t work. So all this work for nothing. Stick to hardware, Hoto, your software and UX needs a lot of work.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth

*2025-04-08, version 1.1.0*

Gerät wird nicht gefunden

### 1/5 — Ужас, сырая как живая корова

*2025-02-22, version 1.1.0*

Прошлая версия приложения была в разы совершенней, если не исправят, то дальномер бесполезен, лучше не обнавляться.
Брать размеры на фотки невозможно.
Сохранять много фото в приложении невозможно.
Разрешение с которым сохраняется фото( при больших размерах) ужасное, размеры нечитабельны.
Размер графики размеров на изображении огромные, перекрывают друг друга и снова нечетабельны, одно разочарование.
Насколько хорошо и приятно выполнен дальномер, настолько ужасно выполнено приложение.

### 1/5 — Problemi

*2025-02-16, version 1.1.0*

Ho scaricato l’app per utilizzare la connessione BT col metro laser di HOTO, si connette e visualizza le misurazioni ma nella schermata dove puoi disegnare e importare le misure non puoi aggiungere nessun progetto perché nell’interfaccia non appare il segno + in alto a destra. Io ho un iphone 13 Pro Max e non so se il problema è diffuso o è solo per certi display…

### 1/5 — Sinnlose App

*2025-02-11, version 1.1.0*

Um den HOTO Laserentfernungsmesser via App zu verbinden benötigt man die Xiaomi Home App. Warum gibt es die HOTO App? Eine Kopplung war auch nach mehreren Versuchen nicht erfolgreich. Konto und App also wieder gelöscht. Danke für nichts!

### 1/5 — App molto sospetta

*2024-09-14, version 1.1.0*

Per una semplice bilancia da cucina (con funzione bluetooth per indicare le quantità di calorie, proteine, fibre etc. del prodotto pesato) mi richiede posizione in tempo reale, dati di casa mia, connessione wi-fi, connessione bluetooth, knlowledge agreement di utilizzo dati per fini marketing e statistiche. Cinesi curiosi ;) Disintallata. Userò la bilancia come una stupida bilancia di uno stupido brand, prodotto da una stupida azienda ;) A mai più.

### 5/5 — Buona app, può ancora migliorare

*2024-04-05, version 1.1.0*

Finalmente tradotta bene, ora funziona benissimo con il mio Hoto measure Pro

### 1/5 — Pessima app

*2023-12-11, version 1.0.0*

Tradotta malissimo, funziona malissimo: ho restituito il prodotto, di per se buono per colpa della app

### 2/5 — Hot review

*2023-07-08*

Needs to add inches as unit of measure 
Currently have option for meters, feet and foot and inches. Needs an option for inches only.

### 1/5 — Anmeldung unmöglich

*2023-05-27, version 1.0.0*

Die Anmeldung in der App ist nicht möglich. Zudem wird ein Account vorausgesetzt.
