### 1/5 — Dead…

*2026-02-23, version 2.3.18*

Whelp looks like this app is dead. Can’t log in even if I reset my password. No response from support so guess I can’t control my blinds any longer.

### 1/5 — Product no longer working and apparently no longer available

*2025-11-20*

We’ve had this product for several years and it has worked great. Within the past year, one of our blinds stopped working. when I push button to identify blind, it does identify it, but no longer can open and close it.  We have looked online and apparently they no longer make the motors. Apparently you can send in the motor and get a repair for $50, but not sure that is even legitimate. Is this product something that has been abandoned?

### 1/5 — Randomly deleted all my blinds

*2023-03-27, version 2.3.9*

I’ve been using this app for a while and it has suddenly deleted ALL the blinds I had paired to it. This means I have to go around my house with a ladder to try and re-pair every single one of them individually! Unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Rubbish avoid

*2023-02-20, version 2.3.9*

Utter garbage, doesn’t work, Bridge broken for weeks on end, support none existent. Avoid

### 2/5 — Unable to sign into app

*2023-02-20, version 2.3.9*

This app signed me out and I have not been able to sign back in. 
I used option for “forgotten password” and it claims to have sent new password to my email but never did. I tried that multiple times. 
I can’t control or recalibrate one of my malfunctioning blinds! I need help!

### 2/5 — Not Google Home compatible

*2023-01-30, version 2.3.9*

You can no longer seem to use these with Google Home. It asks you now to authenticate via Google Home, not Google Assistant. And that’s not option with MySmartBlinds

### 5/5 — A Great App Restored

*2023-01-28*

Thank you for updating the app to make it compatible with iOS 16.2.  I’ve been using the MySmartBlinds app for years without issue until last week.  When my wife’s app was working on iOS 16.1 I knew it was a compatibility issue.  I’m so happy to be able to again control my 8 blinds.  Sometimes you need to open/close your blinds ahead of the scheduled times, and it’s great to be able to do that again.

### 3/5 — App keeps crashing.

*2023-01-28, version 2.3.9*

I keep getting this message “There was an error logging in” this needs to be fixed.

The errors had been fixed and my rating has been updated

### 1/5 — Updated App not working

*2023-01-27, version 2.3.9*

I have now tried to login to my account…NOT POSSIBLE!!
What’s going on !!
Upsetting that there is no or very little control without connection!!
GET IT TOGETHER !!

### 5/5 — Multiple app issues encountered

*2023-01-27, version 2.3.9*

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years with no issues, now all of a sudden I’m having nothing but problems. On my iPhone 12 Pro (iOS 16.2) it constantly crashes. Every time I restart, I have to log back in, then it crashes again. I’ve reinstalled the app multiple times to no avail. On my iPad Air 4 (iPadOS16.2) it crashes if I try to select one of my blinds. If I try to delete that room, I cannot. Anytime I select a blind, the app crashes. Very frustrated with a normally perfectly functioning product.

2-28-23 updated to five stars. 
Updated app has me back in business. 
Love MySmartBlinds. Has helped lower my electric bill especially during the winter.
