### 1/5 — Can’t Connect to Network

*2022-11-25, version 1.0.6*

When you go into setting then network connection. Find your router and select it. Button missing to connect to network. Pressing done button on the keyboard does nothing. 
Dev team can contact me and will gladly share screenshots and anything else needed to fix this issue

### 1/5 — Absolutely disgusting business practice

*2022-10-17, version 1.0.6*

I have been forced to download a new app that doesn’t work. My device has completely stopped working because of this causing me expense in purchasing a new product. Disgusting business practice with untested app. Vile scum. Avoid.

### 1/5 — Run

*2022-10-06, version 1.0.6*

Complete garbage. The app doesn’t even open anymore. Even when it did open a I couldn’t change settings. The old wasn’t the best but at least it worked and I could make changes. Tried contacting support multiple times and no response. Can’t return the product so now it’s a paperweight. Should have just went with Jebao. Price point is better and the product at least works and customer support at least responds to the best of their ability even if English isn’t their first language. Never buying a hydor product for my aquarium again… Update : they let me they push out a new version of the app. It honestly only worked for a week maybe two before it took a crap again. I’m going to my jebao and try to sell it so someone else deals with this piece of junk

After logging into the device the app can’t locate the wave maker. I deleted it and try to reconnect it. At the screen where it says connect wifi it gives me an error message.

### 1/5 — Fix the app

*2022-09-26, version 1.0.5*

Fix the app, people bought this wave pump specifically BECAUSE you can control it with an app, it’s been two weeks that I can’t control my pumps.

### 1/5 — Already looking to go back to jaebo

*2022-09-14, version 1.0.5*

Have had this power head and app for a short time . Power head seems to work fine. Now the app won’t even open . Have uninstalled and reinstalled so I know it’s not that . 
Will be ordering the jaebo sow series soon they have been good for me . Was Leary to purchase this from the get. Should have listened to myself . Hope this helps

### 1/5 — Won’t connect to WiFi

*2022-07-14, version 1.0.5*

It will allow me to see my wifi, but there’s no way to submit the password, as there’s no button to press that enters it. Pressing “done” on the keyboard does nothing

### 1/5 — Network Connection to wifi is broken

*2022-06-07, version 1.0.5*

I can connect to my KPM directly connected to the aqamai network, but when I got to connect it to my home wifi throught the network connection UI, it detect my home network, it prompts for the password, but does not let me submit the password, the ios keyboard enter key does nothing. So your UI is missing an OK button on that screen.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2022-05-05, version 1.0.5*

App cannot connect to Aquamai pumps. 

Emailed Hydor twice with no response. Called them and number not working.

### 1/5 — 0 stars - Returning

*2022-05-01, version 1.0.5*

Unfortunately i must agree with the no-star reviews. I purchased a KPs4150 l/h pump. It’s relatively quite except at 100% (but nowhere near the rated 1050 gph, which is ok in my application). Updated to Firmware version 2.0.0, app version 1.0.5(19). The change network function doesn’t work so the only way to control this is to join the pump’s network and choose ‘demo’ mode. The tutorials pop up constantly even though I’ve turned them off. The whole “create a new set” function is obnoxious- you must enter a value for each 1/2 hour of the day, even if you want something like “night mode 22:00, random 08:00”. And if you power cycle the pump it defaults to some random mode. Glad I bought this at a store with a return policy because it’s going back!

### 1/5 — App work 1 time

*2022-03-20, version 1.0.5*

Install it and set up app and device.Worked fine but lost all Internet connectivity with my iPad. I was not even able to log back into the app. I have to physically go in and remove the device from my net work to be able to access the Internet. Worst part is there’s nobody contact you go to their webpage there’s no contact information.

### 1/5 — What a badly designed app

*2022-03-19, version 1.0.5*

The whole point of Wi-Fi enabled device is to make life easier- this is not true with this app - most difficult app to work through and doesn’t link to home Wi-Fi which is the point of the app

### 1/5 — Annoying!!!

*2022-02-24, version 1.0.5*

Can't make any adjustments to anything!!!

### 1/5 — App

*2022-02-15, version 1.0.4*

The app is literal garbage. I bought the Aqamai for its “amazing customization” which I believe could be true if not for the horrible way this app is laid out. The app only lets you select presets and when you try to customize anything the tabs are so large that they take up the whole screen. I can’t demo anything because there are pop ups that prevent you from even seeing the customization underneath. Developers need to redo this entire lay out. It’s not helpful. Just a waste of $129

### 1/5 — Zero star

*2022-02-06, version 1.0.4*

It has been a literal waste of money to buy this pump cause I can’t do anything on the app. I try to adjust flow rates and it give me this massively zoomed in screen. I’m down $112 and these crooks made out with my money. Never buying these products again and you shouldn’t either.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2025-05-30, version 1.1.3*

This is, by far, the most unreliable app I’ve ever come across. I have 3 products, and all of them communicate, at best, inconsistently. App regularly freezes. Says it’s done things but hasn’t. I’m baffled how this got released.

### 1/5 — Hot garbage

*2025-03-30, version 1.1.3*

Absolutely horrible if I could give zero or negative I would the worst app on the planet I only got it because I need it to control my aqami kps but it won’t connect this is ridiculous a multi million dollar company that can’t build a decent app this is the 5th week of trying random things hoping my wave maker connects and from all the other reviews it’s not just me having this problem

### 1/5 — Absolutely garbage

*2025-02-10, version 1.1.3*

This app now broke my existing wave maker and I can’t control anymore.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work on my iPhone

*2024-04-12, version 1.1.3*

The light Aqua mai seems awfully nice but I can’t customize anything, unless Ai lights.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t connect to WiFi

*2024-01-12, version 1.1.3*

It doesn't connect to Wi-Fi, the app crashes and keeps loading, terrible investment and super expensive

### 1/5 — Please fix this app!!

*2024-01-05, version 1.1.3*

You sell so many products that are dependent on this app yet you ignore the fact that the app is useless. Your products are fantastic, when they work, please invest the time and money on app developers that can make your products usable. 

People in the aquarium hobby talk. Products become popular by word of mouth. You have great products at an affordable price but because the app renders them useless people only talk negatively about your company. Do yourself a favor and focus your efforts on app development. Look to other companies for inspiration if you have to but, for the love of fish, DO SOMETHING or your business will die.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-06-17, version 1.1.0*

Out of nowhere the app just stopped working. iPhone user ios 16.5 please fix can’t adjust lights now.

### 1/5 — Appalling

*2023-05-26, version 1.0.8*

My app has stopped responding you can’t get in touch with support as the link does not work so now my Aquamai can no longer be controlled, this is truly disgusting!

### 1/5 — Unable to login

*2023-05-20, version 1.0.8*

Just bought the Aqamai light and I am unable to log in! I would really like to get my lights set up but every time I try and log in there is a connection error and it says the app is deactivated. Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Led light

*2022-11-26, version 1.0.6*

Hard to set up and problem connect with WiFi always keep discount, I got new modern and worst mess up that light keep up old modern won’t change new one I can’t set up so don’t buy it.

## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — App updated!!!!

*2022-10-10, version 1.0.6*

The app has been updated to work with iOS 16. The system works flawlessly now. I’m very happy with the performance.

### 5/5 — FINALLY updated!

*2022-03-23, version 1.0.5*

I’ve tried writing a review here already, but I’m not sure it actually went through. The app finally works! The adjustment icons are a normal size, and the app is useable. Adjusting timings requires you to 0.25ms above whatever you’re trying to set it at, as it will adjust that much down after you take your finger away, but that is a literal tiny minor complaint compared to how this app was before the update that fixed it and made my KPS wavemaker usable. I’m SO happy that I can finally get my money’s worth from this thing!! Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Finally!!!!

*2022-03-02, version 1.0.5*

The app has been fixed!!! Thank you!! Overall great product now even better with the new update!!!

### 4/5 — Updated app

*2022-09-28, version 1.0.6*

Thank hod they updated the app

### 4/5 — App is very MEH.

*2022-09-14, version 1.0.5*

It’s not great. But if you play with it long enough it’ll do what you want. But it needs updated for IOS 16! I just updated my phone and now the app won’t open. I have this device in a longer tank now and want to use it to create a wave effect on the surface. Currently cannot change it at all

### 3/5 — Help

*2021-12-29, version 1.0.4*

I cannot seem to get the application to work on my iPhone 12 pro. When I load the application I am not able to do presets.
It works great on my iPad, but it will not work on my iPhone. Also I am unclear how to work the programming when I am away from my Wi-Fi it does not work on cellular. So I cannot control my pump when I’m away from my house. I need to be connected to the Wi-Fi

### 2/5 — App not working

*2022-09-13, version 1.0.5*

App will not open and has been having issues with keeping light settings
