Auch neu installieren funktioniert nicht Note 6 ### 1/5 — I’m upset I spent money on this *2023-10-22, version 1.1.2* *Truly* terrible app from top to bottom. I’m just trying to connect a bridge to connect my blinds and not one single part of that process works correctly, is easy to find, or is successful. The bridge times out so fast, the app won’t even register the bridge. There’s no easy to find “connect bridge” button. My WiFi router tells me a new device is connected but the pairing then “fails” I swear if anyone says “turn it off and back on again” I’ll smack you with every single device and part of that device that has been turned off and on in every conceivable sequence. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t connect to WiFi *2023-07-14, version 1.1.2* Exactly followed the instruction but it never connects to Wi-Fi. Such a waste of money and time. Speaking of what makes your smart home dumb. ### 1/5 — No star rating. Please read below. *2023-04-02, version 1.1.0* This app is not worth it. It is not compatible with Homekit. And: The timer cannot be set properly as the font size is microscopically small. Yes, there is also an analog clock shown. But whats the purpose of the time displayed i digital format, if literally nobody is able to read it? I am satisfied with the motor for the blinds. The app to control them is useless. ### 1/5 — bridge lässt sich nicht verbinden *2023-01-31, version 1.1.0* bridge blinkt lila, dann rot bei Verbindungsversuch. Bridge verbindet nicht. Bitte um Hilfe! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2023-01-14, version 1.1.0* Impossible to connect the hub to wifi because the app doesn’t recognize my wifi and doesn’t let me manually add the SSID ### 1/5 — App does not work *2022-11-19, version 1.1.0* To make it simple and blunt. This app is garbage! Does not connect or work!!! Wasted time, energy, and money!!! ### 1/5 — App Barely Functions *2022-06-07, version 1.1.0* Per the instruction manual, the app is supposed to have a blue circle with a “+” sign in the bottom right corner. This button enables you to add devices, timers, rooms, and scenes. For months, this arrow is not there. Despite me trying every possible method to resolve the issue, nothing had worked. (I’ve tried — logging out and back in, cancelling the app, hitting every button within app available, scrolling past the visible area, hitting the white space where the button *should* be, turning my phone on/off; making sure app is updated to current version; reading the instruction manual; etc.) Further, the existing timers cannot be edited. When I enter the edit screen, make changes, press “done” and return to the main page, none of the edits are there. I’ve also tried every possible way to fix this issue, but it has persisted for months. To make matters worse, the feedback section of the app does not work. After trying to make a report regarding the above-stated issues, and hitting “send”, an error message stating that my report cannot be sent because my email has not been set up yet appears. It has, and my profile reflects that it has as well. ### 1/5 — Version 1.1.0 reset everything and can’t reconfigure *2022-05-27, version 1.1.0* Version 1.1.0 updated last night and wiped out my configuration. Now it won’t allow me to start configuration over. This is a very frustrating experience. The prior version worked perfectly. ### 1/5 — Lost bridge *2022-04-07, version 1.0.9* No connection and 0 support, now I have 5 blinds which I can not control anymore. I should have checked before buying. There only exists a FAQ and an email template to nowhere. ### 1/5 — Nichts funktioniert *2022-03-18, version 1.0.9* Nichts funktioniert, keine Updates … Finger weg! Leider bietet Sonevo keine andere App an, das nächste Rollo muss dann wohl von einem anderen Hersteller kommen. ### 1/5 — Won’t recognize it’s own WiFi *2022-02-03, version 1.0.9* I can’t pair a bridge because it doesn’t recognize when I’ve switched to the bridge’s built-in WiFi. I seem to be 100% dead in the water. I got these blinds because they are supposed to be HomeKit compatible but without the bridge I’m stuck with a plain old remote. Terrible first impression. ### 1/5 — NO PASSWORD RESET OPTION! *2022-01-21, version 1.0.9* Where’s the ability to reset a password? No response from company. ### 1/5 — Our data in your cloud? *2021-03-31, version 1.0.9* We don't think we like a device in our network, that needs a connection to any unknown cloud and stores our data - and doesn't allow a way to operate without registration. We'll return the devices to the seller and buy some more at a more privacy-aware gear. It was probably wrong in the first place to buy something no one knows how long updates and security fixes will be provided - for sure not long enough to guarantee secure operation in a house. And of course we do not want something like this connected to a unknown cloud. Sorry, wrong approach ... ### 1/5 — Battery status not transmitted correctly *2020-08-04, version 1.0.8* This app was great, however since the last update battery status is not transmitted correctly. For all blinds there is an error “please recharge”. Please give us the opportunity to downgrade ### 1/5 — Password reset impossible *2020-08-02, version 1.0.8* Unable to reset password after app automatically logged out. E-mail reset never received. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-03-12, version 1.1.4* Nothing works. Nothing saves. Errors. Bad UI. ### 1/5 — Programmer is Dumb *2025-03-09, version 1.1.4* Whomever programmed this app is truly ignorant. That person forgot to account for daylight savings, not the app doesn’t work. Bravo. ### 1/5 — Sehr, sehr, sehr schlecht! *2024-12-20, version 1.1.4* Sehr, sehr, sehr schlecht, weil das Ding keine Verbindung zum W-Lan herstellt. Das ist ja eigentlich die Aufgabe. Die Anleitung zu meiner Bridge ist nur Italienisch. Die App zeigt Texte nur abgeschnitten an. Und wozu wird meine Geolocation benötigt???? ### 1/5 — Simply flawed app *2024-09-13, version 1.1.4* It’s strange that a company sells it’s products on the market without proper testing and even after repeated feedback does nothing to address the problems. My “bridge” needs to be re-paired every 2-3 days. Sometimes it pairs easily, sometimes it simply doesn’t. I do not recommend. Update: even with major negative feedback the company has not updated the firmware or app in 7 months!!! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-08-08, version 1.1.4* I have been trying to update the wifi for the smart bridge for three days! None of the features actually work. The online videos take you through a process the does not work. Also, no way to remove a location or hub. How is this app allowed in the App Store? ### 1/5 — App does not support newer iOS *2024-07-11, version 1.1.4* Impossible to pair the bridge with latest iPhones and iOS. Only possible though an old vintage iPad. No support available, company seems to be hiding with canned unhelpful responses and not even a contact form. ### 1/5 — Simply flawed app *2024-07-08* It’s strange that a company sells it’s products on the market without proper testing and even after repeated feedback does nothing to address the problems. My “bridge” needs to be re-paired every 2-3 days. Sometimes it pairs easily, sometimes it simply doesn’t. I do not recommend. Update: even with major negative feedback the company has not updated the firmware or app in 6 months!!! ### 1/5 — Simply flawed app *2024-05-22* It’s strange that a company sells it’s products on the market without proper testing and even after repeated feedback does nothing to address the problems. My “bridge” needs to be re-paired every 2-3 days. Sometimes it pairs easily, sometimes it simply doesn’t. I do not recommend ### 1/5 — It does not work *2024-03-28, version 1.1.4* Please invest in this app! It is a nightmare to connect to the bridge, and it is the only way to use it with a voice assistant. The blind is constantly disconnected or offline. The controls have a big delayed, clicking on pause does nothing and it broke my curtain roll! ### 1/5 — App startet nicht *2024-02-03, version 1.1.3* App startet nicht: völlig nutzlos. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 4/5 — Nur nach Anleitung vorgehen *2025-03-14, version 1.1.4* Wollte schon zurücksenden und hab viel Zeit verbraten. Intuitiv geht das nicht!!! Dann die Anleitung gelesen und Schritt für Schritt befolgt. Läuft! ### 4/5 — Very well developed, missing any help feature *2019-08-21, version 1.0.4* This app is surprisingly very well developed and very slick. If you try to swipe right or left somewhere, you’ll probably find a feature. That said, I can’t find any help or how to area, and getting in touch with them is flat out impossible. Even though it is intuitive, I’m past the point of messing with my blinds trying to figure out how to set something. There’s also no reference list of commands to integrate with your smart device, so trying to control it with your voice can be difficult. If they implement a reference area, I’d happily update my review to 5 stars because it is a very well done and thorough app. ### 3/5 — 8+ months since last update, home kit missing *2023-02-21, version 1.1.0* Please add support for home kit bridge for motion blinds hub, Siri already works fine ### 2/5 — Nightmare Setup, Great Usability *2025-02-13, version 1.1.4* Impossible to connect if your device is running iOS 18. Thankfully I was able to dig up an old phone running iOS 14 and the bridge connected immediately. I don’t know the minimum iOS version you’d need to connect, but that’s what worked for me. The app itself is great beyond the headache of pairing the bridge. I am able to use everything on the phone running iOS 18, and was easily able to set top/bottom heights for my blinds, set up scenes, and control blind height. ### 2/5 — Terrible app *2023-11-15, version 1.1.2* As others have stated, adding a bridge is basically a crapshoot. It took me no less than 3 hours of repeated pairing attempts before my bridge would properly configure. I wish I had helpful pairing advice for future victims, but alas I did nothing different. You’re rolling the dice. The app development team either needs a bigger budget or a mass layoff. It’s a shame because the hardware seems quite good and after some digging I was able to link the bridge with my Alexa voice assistant. ### 2/5 — Missing HomeKit support *2020-06-06* The app is fine, it would be nice if the blinds could be re-ordered. Ultimately not being able to integrate with HomeKit is a big loss. It has Siri Shortcuts but it’s not the same. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
