### 1/5 — Poor support, app buggy

*2025-01-08, version 1.5.1*

New vacuum, app logged out, can’t obtain verification code.  Support only via TikTok and WeeChat

### 1/5 — Use to work fine, now it's dead

*2024-12-22, version 1.5.1*

It was alright for a couple of years, then it died and i cant do anything with the app anymore

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-12-20, version 1.5.1*

How do you even navigate to settings? 
App is not user friendly and is quite a pain to reconnect to wifi. 
Just trash.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2024-11-26, version 1.5.1*

Won’t connect to wifi at all - app jusy freezes when you try

### 1/5 — Virus?

*2024-10-28, version 1.5.0*

I downloaded this app and tried to connect it to my wifi for the vacuum but it didn’t connect and now I can’t connect to my wifi anymore

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect

*2024-09-06, version 1.4.6*

Tried 10x. Never able to connect to my G9. Very frustrating and disappointing

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-08-04, version 1.4.5*

The latest app update is complete trash! I have to re- pair the vacuum every day or it shows offline. Will not buy another iLife vacuum.

### 1/5 — APP NOT WORJING

*2024-05-20, version 1.4.0*

App has deleted suction modes and has froze the map onto lasts cleaning. Will not allow me to change suction to gentle mode or water usage.

### 1/5 — Maps disappear every time I update the app, horrible software

*2024-04-25, version 1.4.0*

Worst app I’ve ever used.Extremely difficult to make maps and that no go zones. Then when you update the app, you always lose your Mabs. Wish I had spent the extra money and bought a different brand. Vacuum is completely useless with this software.

### 1/5 — B5 max

*2024-03-19, version 1.4.0*

I downloaded app & registered no problem. However I can't add my vacuum bc app keeps telling me to connect to home network. I do not have internet at my home therefore I don't have a home network. I'm trying to do it using my iphone, I mean it's a mobile app correct? As long as I have a mobile phone w/data shouldn't it work regardless if I have home network or not? I was unable to get support through the app bc it won't let me enter the model no. It let me choose what problem I'm having and let me type a description of it but can't enter model type so can't send it to support. The vacuum seems to work ok, I've only tried it once so far.

### 1/5 — App is set to collect data

*2024-03-17, version 1.4.0*

False advertising doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Need to register before you can see supported vacuums

*2024-02-22*

The list of supported vacuums should be in the app description so you are not forced to make an account first.  Seems like they are just building email lists.

### 1/5 — App issues

*2024-02-19, version 1.4.0*

The app is not remembering my device. I’m having to pair it every time I access the app which is a nightmare.

### 1/5 — App Does Not Work

*2023-11-27, version 1.3.9*

The app is useless. It doesn’t save your log in. I enter the password and it says it’s incorrect when it’s not. I tap forgot password and ask for a code and the app flows to another screen and gets stuck. 
@developers please fix your app. As a consumer this is very frustrating because I can not change the settings. Factory settings are set at the lowest level of cleaning.

### 1/5 — Missing devices

*2026-02-12, version 1.5.6*

Devices advertised as working with this app are not supported.

### 1/5 — Cannot connect on wifi to A9 robots on iOS26

*2025-12-26, version 1.5.6*

Can’t connect to my vacuum.  Old app no longer supported.  This app isn’t connecting on iOS26 for A9 robots even though I’m on the WiFi for the robot

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-08-26, version 1.5.6*

This app is horrendous! An absolute waste of time

### 1/5 — impossible to link to wifi

*2025-08-07, version 1.5.6*

literally impossible to link this thing to the wifi…i connect to the vacuum wifi but the app doesn’t register that i’m connected.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2025-06-24, version 1.5.6*

About once a month it kicks me out of the app and I’m supposed to sign in again. When I go to sign in, it tells me my password or email address is not correct! It’s the same one I have been using!! So then I try to change the password and it asks me to get a code… BUT IT NEVER COMES!!!! This is so frustrating!!!! 
I love my robot, but I can’t use it!!😡

### 1/5 — Save your money

*2025-06-14*

Can’t connect with o 5 ghz internet. Vacuum constantly gets stuck or just turns off in the middle of no where and will beep until unstuck. Setting up will also annoy you

### 1/5 — Ужас

*2025-04-15, version 1.5.3*

Постоянно приходиться восстанавливать код для входа в приложение потому что постоянно приложение вылетает из учётной записи само приложение троит давно бы поменяла приложение если знала бы на какое !

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2025-02-18, version 1.5.1*

It doesn’t connect. 1.7 stars and they think it’s awesome.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2025-06-23*

A simple app.  The best part is being able to pause it and redirect it from my phone.  My place has a couple areas where it gets stuck on raised wood across the floor so this is handy.

### 5/5 — Works for me

*2024-09-30, version 1.4.8*

I have no complaints about how the app works. The only thing I had to add my vacuum in twice but other then that it works like it should. Although I do wish the vacuum would remember the layout or have an option to forgot and redo it

### 5/5 — Awesome vacuum

*2024-09-27*

I have been buying these vacuums for a few years now and each time they get so much better. I’m very happy with the current vacuum that I have. I’m even more happy with the service every time I call I actually get a real human being and not just somebody that speaking from a script but an actual person that talks to you normally Understand your issues and helps you resolve them quickly.  These vacuums save me so much time and while no automated vacuum is perfect. I have to say that these vacuums. Are probably the best out there in my personal opinion.!

### 5/5 — V80 max

*2023-08-03*

The app works perfect.  I had no issues at all. Highly recommend it.

### 4/5 — Not sure what all the fuss is about it works fine.

*2024-06-01*

Now this is just going off a ILife v5s plus so maybe it has issues with other models I don’t know but works fine from what I can tell, it doesn’t really track where the robots at but I don’t think the v5s has the ability to do that. All the controls work and such, just a more fancy remote really.

### 4/5 — App working great

*2023-09-07*

Better than the remote, more settings. Will only be using app. The w450 is awesome too! Much better than my old w400.

### 3/5 — App is crashing on start

*2022-06-11*

Hello
The app was working fine until yesterday.
Now when I open the app it closes after displaying the logo. 
As an attempt to fix I already tried the following :
- I deleted the app and data.
- Rebooted the phone 
- Downloaded again the app from AppStore.
- login 
And it crashes / close after the login 

Please fix

### 3/5 — App Updates

*2022-04-20*

Main issue is that none of the information (schedule, preferences, history, etc) is stored when the app is updated. I have to re-sign in and remake my schedule whenever the app receives an update. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

### 2/5 — Worsened over the years

*2025-09-24*

I’ve bought these vacuums for years. I used to love them. They’ve gotten worse. They no longer offer good carpet options. 

Now the app is broken. I can’t connect it to Alexa

### 2/5 — Please fix

*2024-12-03*

The last update has made my vacuum worse. It just spins all over the place and doesn’t keep a pattern. I’ve cleaned it, re calibrated it, reset the map. Nothing is working. Can you PLEASE look at this and fix it? Thank you
