### 4/5 — I can not set time schedule more than 5 minutes

*2023-07-09, version 1.9.50*

I can not set time schedule more than 5 minutes

### 2/5 — 功能好是好，就是APP种类繁乱，互通性很差，也不稳定

*2021-03-16, version 1.9.50*

### 3/5 — Privacy Issue

*2020-12-25, version 1.9.50*

I noticed that this App is somewhat bypassing the iOS Privacy Control. 

As this app is not listed in any of the iOS privacy control such as photos, contacts, camera, etc it only listed in the microphone column which iOS can allow or disallow such. 

I accidentally press upload of pictures for my location and it happened that this App can access all my photo albums.  However, this app is not listed in photos privacy. 

Likewise, I doubt Italy possible be able to access my contacts, camera, etc. 
Again, I don’t have privacy control on such as  this app is not listed there. 

Not quite sure if it’s a big of iOS or an illegal pass-thru from within the App. 

This can lead to serious lack of personal information.  

AppStore should treat this seriously.

### 4/5 — Works ok

*2020-07-21, version 1.9.33*

Would be nice to be add timers to a scene instead of having to make the same timer for multiple devices.

### 2/5 — Rm 4 mini

*2020-07-15, version 1.9.33*

The application doesn’t support Rm mini 4 💔

### 2/5 — Better if stable

*2020-07-11, version 1.9.33*

You will end up reprogramming your settings for all or devices at some point.

### 3/5 — Problems with Alexa

*2020-07-03, version 1.9.33*

Hi. Please, check Alexa issues with broadlink devices. Until yesterday, my devices (TV and Apple TV connected by Broadlink RC3 Mini) stop working and don’t accept voice commands. Alexa show devices, but rotines stop working. All command and scenes fine on ihc app (Broadlink iOS app).

### 4/5 — Stopped working with IFTTT

*2020-07-02, version 1.9.33*

I have used this app for several years to control an old window air conditioner but it just stopped working with IFTTT and seems I Connor get to login to it with IFTTT. There does not seem to be any English support available. I will have to use some other product if I cannot get my IHC account connected to IFTTT.

### 3/5 — Faltan actualizaciones

*2020-05-22*

Sería bueno q actualizaran la app mas seguido

### 2/5 — Bug

*2020-05-13*

Es la segunda vez que tengo que desinstalar e instalar la app porque me dice que la autenticación falló . Se reinició el dispositivo. Y ya , de ahí no pasa, funciona en otro celular pero en este ya no. Ya moví e hice todo y la única solución es desinstalar la app y volver a instalar. Lo he hecho 3 veces hasta ahora en un mes. Deberían de arreglar eso o decir como arreglarlo, no encontré info en internet ni en el manual.

### 4/5 — Shortcut actions needed

*2020-05-13, version 1.9.32*

Good app, a bit slow to load content every time, could be snappier...
And it’s a shame that, not only doesn’t IHC support HomeKit, it also doesn’t support shortcut actions, which allows users to link the devices to Siri via shortcuts...
The only way to do that is by using ifttt and webhooks, and that, is most of the times not working due to some server issue or something!

### 2/5 — Buggy and needs re work

*2020-05-02, version 1.9.32*

Chinese Chinese everywhere,the app hangs several times and is unresponsive, missing several features and again , Chinese words or characters are all over the place, would be better to move to smart life app

### 4/5 — Funciona en ios

*2020-04-11, version 1.9.32*

Me gusta la app en principio lo use con google y me gusta q se sincroniza con el google home mini. Pero al parecer no funciona con siri.

### 2/5 — Air conditioner

*2020-03-22*

the remote control of the app fails a lot with the air conditioning, when pairing it with alexa it only lets me turn it on nothing else and from the app I can do almost nothing with the air conditioning

### 2/5 — Cheio de bugs

*2020-03-19*

Não acho mais o tc2 da broadlink !
I don't think broadlink's tc2 anymore!

### 1/5 — why it keeps logging me out?

*2020-02-09, version 1.9.32*

I have had Broadlink for years, and one I truly hate this app is why it keeps logging me out for no reason? Getting in the app to turn some devices on is painful enough, but having to enter my password when I’m in rush is totally annoying. Please fix this.

### 3/5 — Canais

*2020-02-07*

Para controle de TV não disponibilizam a opção do “.” nos canais. No Brasil os canais são digitais e tem pontos. Ex: 10.1  12.1

### 1/5 — No connection to BroadLink device

*2025-11-09, version 1.9.50*

Unable to connect the Broadlink universal remote RM4 pro. Also does not work well with my rollerblinds in the Google/Alexa app

### 1/5 — Dois aplicativos para Europe e China …

*2024-09-15*

Ficou bem ruim … não sei em que app minhas contas estão criadas … China / Europa / America … não consigo excluir as contas e os dispositivo pararam de funcionar por isso. 
Não voltaria a adquirir outro produto da marca ou relacionados. Bem ruim

### 1/5 — Necesita actualizarse

*2023-04-15*

Mi cuenta se abría atrás ves de la app de face y ahora ya no me deja y la he perdido, y en la app de Alexa no lee los nuevas escenas que hizo de la app con una nueva cuenta, lee las anteriores pero no las puede reproducir

### 1/5 — 不能实现对4位插排的单个插销进行周期性定时开关

*2022-11-08, version 1.9.50*

不能实现对broadlink 4位插排的单个插销进行周期性定时开关。非常傻，可以设置某个插销单独定时开启，但是如果想某个时间段内关闭这个插销要么完全关闭要么关闭这个插销时候开启其他插口，无法实现单独插销关闭电源。好在鸿雁智控的插排app可以搜索到并控制broadlink插排实现单个插销定时开关。

### 1/5 — Give it zero stars if I could

*2021-12-15, version 1.9.50*

Bought a couple of broadlink smart plugs. Downloaded the app, created an account and wasn’t able to add the plugs. The app kept telling me I wasn’t an administrator, even though I set up the account and was the only person on it. Absolute trash. Deleted the app and am returning the plugs, there are better products out there.

### 1/5 — Control del aire

*2020-08-20*

No se puede vincular el control del aire, no sirve

### 1/5 — Problema com o RM4 pro Broadlink

*2020-08-12*

Não consigo sincronizar o IHC com o HUB RM4,pro da Broadlink. Não reconhece.

### 1/5 — Does not work. Period

*2020-08-08, version 1.9.33*

First of all, it’s so confusing that there are multiple apps from broadlink and no one at broadlink can clearly explain which one to use. I just got rm pro and don’t really know which app to use. YouTube search has people using IHC so I tried that.
1. I have a google wi if and it accepts the credentials but then immediately goes on the start configuring the device and then fails. “Can’t find device”
2. I tried the other option setting. It asks me to reset it twice and then manually connect to BroadlinkProv WiFi. My rm pro is providing Broadlink_wifi_device as WiFi option so I connect there and then I get the error to connect to BroadlinkProv. So, that’s the end of that.

Can’t even get past the point where it recognizes the device. Broadlink website does not even bother to explain what app I’d for what use.

BTW, I was able to have “Broadlink” app recognize the device but the UI is old. This Product is going back!

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2020-08-02, version 1.9.33*

Constantly logs you out.
And now it blocks your ability to auto-fill your password from your password manager.

Works. But having to freaking login every few days is obnoxious. If I could I'd only use Tasker plugin and the old app.

### 1/5 — Mala

*2020-05-27*

No sirve con google home

### 5/5 — Works way better with RM mini 3 than the new BroadLink one

*2021-02-27*

This one has no delay after pressing buttons. I fell sorry about having to close the popup asking me to use the BroadLink instead everytine I open the IHC (one more step to accomplish a simple thing like change the tv channel). Hope you can fix it in the new one.

### 5/5 — Support issue (PLEASE FIX)

*2019-12-01, version 1.9.29*

So a lot of my friends and I have an issue with the app. Before the update we could sign in with Facebook and now we can’t. There’s like 7 of us that can’t use the app to control our home stuff or log in. It’s a great app but PLEASE FIX

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2019-10-10, version 1.9.28*

This app is vary useful and excellent,
Appreciate if the developer look into this after ios 13, it seems that there is an issue when we are trying to add a new devices or configure some switches. I tried with ios 12 it’s working fine.
Thank you
