### 2/5 — Connection

*2026-07-25, version 3.6.5*

QR code on back doesn’t work

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2026-07-05, version 3.6.5*

The layout is good but the execution is terrible. Also it asks for waaay too much personal information, and account, location data and Bluetooth access and WiFi passwords just to get started, I’d rather be walked through setup at the time I try to add my first device, add an account when I’m ready. We bought a wireless fan (not that we need an Internet fan, OMG, it just came with WiFi). The app failed to handle the QR code. The fan wouldn’t connect and the app really didn’t make it any easier to troubleshoot with a nebulous error message and no easy way to restart the setup at the same stage, I had to start all over from the beginning. The ui buttons are lame in that it shows a big “Add Device” button that isn’t clickable, instead you have to click the tiny + sign shoved off to the edge of the “button” in order to add (that might seem petty but big fingers on small screens have a hard time with things like that). It was a frustrating experience mostly because it took an hour to set up a fan.

### 1/5 — won’t connect device

*2026-06-11*

I just spent thirty minutes trying to connect my fan to the app to no avail. It constantly said that my bluetooth was off (it was on) and it couldn’t find any devices near. It says to push the timer icon to get it into pairing mode but it did absolutely nothing to help the app find my fan. The tower fan works fine without the app, but it was a waste of time and effort trying to connect it.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-06-01, version 3.5.2*

This app is trash, it doesn’t even connect to my WiFi and I’ve tried many times even on other devices. Boooo

### 1/5 — Bonding timer way to short

*2026-05-27, version 3.5.2*

App will not allow enough time for bonding to complete.

### 1/5 — Complicated

*2026-05-22, version 3.5.1*

It hard to configure or add your device

### 1/5 — Won’t connect to Omnibreeze fan

*2026-05-15, version 3.5.0*

Ask for way too much personal info and then it won’t connect, will just use the remote.

### 1/5 — Does not connect manitou with QR code

*2026-05-15, version 3.5.0*

Did not connect also required allowing this app to ACCESS my network. I tried several times and it won’t link manually or with the QR code 0 out of 5

### 1/5 — Cannot connect

*2026-05-14*

Found the device but it takes you forever to wait even though you sit next to the fan and bluetooth is on. After that forever waiting, it says cannot connect. I tried to do again and again and felt like I was waiting too much time on this phone connection thing.

### 1/5 — Connect to phone

*2026-05-12, version 3.5.0*

The fan is great, but it won’t connect to Bluetooth so I cannot use my phone with the fan!

### 1/5 — Work on the app before making a fan

*2026-05-07, version 3.5.0*

Worst app ever bro.. it would not let me connect my phone to the fan by QR code or Bluetooth.

### 1/5 — TRASH

*2026-05-06, version 3.5.0*

i’ve been trying to connect my omnibreeze for 2 hours, did all the reset things, followed the instructions!! still couldn’t connect!!!!! i’m not wasting my time for this trash app

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-04, version 3.5.0*

This app doesn’t even get you past the registration. It’s worthless.

### 1/5 — What the what?

*2026-07-21, version 3.6.5*

Confusing, not explanatory. I’m sorry I downloaded this app.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-07-19, version 3.6.5*

Doesn’t even work

### 1/5 — Can’t even register

*2026-07-18, version 3.6.5*

Trying to sign up and the app can’t even send a verification code via email. About 10+ try’s in the span of 20 minutes. Don’t waste your time this a zero star app I just had to rate it

### 1/5 — Wi fi

*2026-07-16*

I could hook up the Costco fan to the app when I first got both. Xfinity is provider. One day the Fan was no longer in the app. Cannot reconnect. I gave correct login info. App says need 2G to connect???  Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t pair

*2026-07-12, version 3.6.5*

The app doesn’t recognize the QR code when you try to scan the device. The app doesn’t recognize the WiFi password. I’ve tried to pair the fan I bought from Costco and thought it was awesome it had an app feature. Virtually useless though since the app doesn’t allow you to pair the device.

### 1/5 — Connecting

*2026-06-21, version 3.6.0*

Will not connect to the app from an iPhone 14

### 1/5 — Privacy Issues, wants control of my whole device

*2026-06-17*

Garbage scammer, can’t believe Costco sells these Chinese made products that invade your whole privacy. Don’t ever INSTAL THIS. Just RETURN THE FAN. Why do I need to connect to WiFi, why can’t I just turn up and down the temperature without a dam remote just like the good old days. Why does everything need to connect to everything.

### 1/5 — Garbage app…does not work with Costco fan

*2026-06-13, version 3.6.0*

Garbage app, does not work or link with Costco fan as advertised.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-06-13, version 3.6.0*

Have tried email and pw, would not work. Registered a different email, same results.
A giant waste of time!

### 1/5 — Not everyone has WiFi

*2026-06-12, version 3.6.0*

I know you devs might find this hard to believe in 2026, but there are still places in America where we can’t get wifi and have to use cell data to access the internet and apps. Sucks I can’t pair my new fan to the app.

### 5/5 — Fixed the issues

*2026-08-06*

I saw some reviews regarding issues like no dark mode, and sounds reset upon reopening app, both fixed. 
Dark mode is in settings, sound stays off. I personally don’t have issues and it works just fine for me. Thank you for the update!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-08-05*

Unsure of the bad reviews. But it works fine for me. Maybe I came late before it bad. Either way the app works and I can control the fans no problem either way.

### 5/5 — App

*2026-07-02*

Smooth control

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-17*

Functionality is crispy, highly recommended. These ppl in the comments are haters fr

### 5/5 — No Issues

*2026-03-11*

I’ve been using it for a couple of days or a week now. Setting it up was a breeze, I just followed the instructions and made sure my Wi-Fi was on the 2.4Ghz band for the first time (it’s also compatible with the 5Ghz band after the initial setup). I hope this helps those who had trouble getting it to work!

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-08-01*

Only thing I have to say is, I wish there was a widget for this app so I can turn on my fan without searching up the app
But the design is pretty good

### 4/5 — Couple things

*2026-06-05*

App is nice and easy to use. Couple things that would make it even better. 1. The app does not have a dark mode, that would be nice. 
2. Keep the sound setting the same every time. I will turn off the sound. Then the next time I turn the fan on the sound is back on. I turned it off for a reason. Keep it off until I turn it back on. 

Other than that it works good. Would recommend.

### 4/5 — Smooth app but hoping for more!

*2026-05-04*

I’ve had no issues with the setup or functionality of the app. I enjoyed the easy install and setup, which was quick and straightforward. The app works well and I haven’t had any major problems. My only request is to have Apple Home integration.

### 3/5 — Nice but make it make sense

*2026-06-25*

App seems fine. Just getting started. Whether this is an app issue or device issue I don’t know. This is for the Costco OmniFan. 1. Sound - like another review says - WHY have to reset sound/no sound after every time it shuts off? It even Beeps to let me know I successfully put it into NO SOUND mode. How annoying. Similarly… 2. If I put it into NO DISPLAY MODE, which I did to get the wifi to stop flashing at me, all displays go off. Fine. But if I turn the fan off, the wifi icon alone lights back up and stays on. If I want the display off, it means ALL off, all the time.

### 3/5 — Nice when it connects

*2025-02-26*

It’s nice when it connects to be able to turn it on and not have to go outside. Mine is on a compartment in the RV. It doesn’t connect very well especially Bluetooth.
