NOT AT ALL SMART

Who developed this app and why are they special needs? Software doesn’t recognize hardware, hardware won’t communicate properly, glitches and bugs everywhere. Do better!

Unstable rubbish

This app hasn’t been updated for some time, frustrating, unstable and buggy. Constantly telling me I am not connected to the wireless when I am, log in immediately kicked out and have to log in again . have to keep forcing stop to continue. Can’t manage SSID names from the app.

Slow

This app constantly freezes and shows no progress/loading when selecting various features. Otherwise it works

Downhill

I’m not sure what has gone on but the app has become increasingly unreliable over the past year or so. It often fails to load, reports an error that doesn’t exists and the mesh network is doing a horrible job handing off devices.
