Brought three more at a discount rate. The new app causes lots of issues. I can’t migrate to the new one as the sockets don’t work. Even myko don’t know the problem. No wonder the sockets are being discounted as they being discontinued. You can’t just add them to the new app and if they arnt migrated before the end of the January, they will not work. I have wasted countless hours trying I get them to work, seems that I’ve wasted my money. Very poor ### 1/5 — Poor switchover plan *2026-01-21, version 1.12* Ridiculous that if you don’t switch to + on the switchover date the plugs will not only stop working but you can’t recover . At least the original app should still allow you to switch even if you can’t control the plug. VERY poor switchover setup. Will not use Myko device again…avoid ### 2/5 — Phone support. *2026-01-20, version 1.12* After struggling with the migration of my smart plugs to the new app Myko+ contacted the Myko support team via their email request and within 24hrs I was contacted by a support engineer (Chris). Chris talked me through the correct migration process and helped with the automation settings to get the plugs running again. All plugs migrated ok and schedule set up. One observation is that the app is probably the least intuitive piece of software I have ever used…!! It has dropped the easy to use ‘schedule’ and replaced with ‘automation’ which is not at straight forward.. With the help of Chris everything is now back running.. Thank you ### 5/5 — App works great, Myko+ does not, please sort it out *2025-12-24, version 1.12* Can add remote sockets on here, can’t on the new app and this app is due to stop working soon apparently :-/ ### 3/5 — Not working away from home *2025-12-16, version 1.12* I am unable to control the smart plug unless I am home on the WiFi which is not what I wanted so that’s disappointing but the scheduling is helpful ### 5/5 — Great Service *2025-12-08, version 1.12* I have had to get some information from customer support and they have always replied quickly I wish other support services were that good ### 1/5 — Keeps turning on! *2025-12-06, version 1.11.1* Light appears to be nice quality, and easy to install. The app. Is easy to set up and use, but…. The light keeps switching on, with the status of the light also changing to ‘on” within the app. I’ve got another 2 a these lights waiting to install and was also considering buying another, but this issue is making me uncertain. May end up returning them all and looking for an alternative product. ### 1/5 — Remote Access *2025-12-02, version 1.11.1* I can’t find a way to activate remote access ### 3/5 — Shame *2025-11-11, version 1.11.1* Shame I can’t purchase your products. Most of your equipment is out of stock. ### 5/5 — Globe Bulbs *2025-11-09, version 1.11.1* Used these type of bulbs with wall lights the switch is on the other wall so we control the bulbs with the Myko App really easy to set up and they connected instantly to the wifi no issues with these bulbs will look to change other bulbs around the house. The timer feature is a great addition if you are away will buy again. ## Frequently asked questions about Myko ### What does the Myko app do?
