### 1/5 — App is not working

*2021-03-30, version 2.0.0*

After new app update not able to start robo vacuum. Removed and re-added again but no use. Robo vacuum is showing as online in the app but when u touch it nothing is happening. Please restore old version.

Finally able to work this robo vacuum with tuya smart app. Select small home appliances—> robo vacuum with wifi. Make sure to setup in ap mode not in EZ mode.

### 1/5 — ONSON J30 good...app is terrible

*2021-03-30, version 2.0.0*

The bot seems to work well but after the latest update, I can’t select it from the home screen.  It’s there but tapping the icon doesn’t do anything.  This m and you can’t use the app.  Surprisingly my Android phone will still command it but as before, it will only start/stop/home and no mapping is visible.  The android phone got its link by my iPhone sharing it.  So... now the iPhone doesn’t work at all and the android phone works minimally.   Too bad since the bot itself does a nice job.

### 1/5 — 2.0 completely broken

*2021-03-28, version 2.0.0*

The older version of the app was working fine. The new 2.0 version shows the vacuum on the home screen but the Online button is unresponsive. The app is therefore pretty useless.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2021-03-27, version 2.0.0*

Edit the freaking apps

### 1/5 — Complete junk

*2021-03-25, version 2.0.0*

Just as the last user commented.  You can easily connect your vacuum robot but you can not enter the control screen.  
I have tried emailing customer service and they are giving me directions on resetting the vacuum and disconnecting the battery.  
I told them from the beginning that it is an app problem.

### 1/5 — Latest update

*2021-03-23, version 2.0.0*

I can no longer access my vacuum. Not sure what you did but you need to fix it.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2021-03-23, version 2.0.0*

The app was updated and now doesn’t work at all. Vacuum also doesn’t work now. Zero support.

### 1/5 — App is complete trash!

*2021-03-23, version 2.0.0*

The app somewhat worked for my j30 pro but since the latest update nothing works now. I essentially have a $400 dumb robovac who now can only clean wherever it feels like since I can no longer use the app the set zone cleaning

### 1/5 — Updated app does not work

*2021-03-23, version 2.0.0*

Received ONSON and it was working perfect with old app .they updated the app and now it does not work at all either you fix it or I will return the device

### 1/5 — Worst app for a good device

*2021-03-22, version 2.0.0*

Please do some testing before releasing the app to App Store, can’t even select my device on home page and get my device started.

### 1/5 — Do not update to 2.0 it doesn’t work

*2021-03-22, version 2.0.0*

Who is writing this app, a kid? Over 5 bug fix in a short time, and still app doesn’t work. Do not give an update if you can’t make it better. Now I have an uncontrolable J30 Pro robot.  Onson work with professional people not with kids.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect!!!

*2021-03-02, version 1.22*

Will not connect to WiFi!!!

### 1/5 — No WiFi or AP Mode connection

*2021-02-21, version 1.22*

The developer seriously needs to update and revise the app.  It should not be so difficult to establish a connection to the device.  At this point, the app is worthless.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2021-02-04, version 1.22*

Wont let me view anything. I get to the home page, click on my vacuum, and it crashes. Every time. Yep I tried restarting everything still just crashes

### 1/5 — App does not allow account creation

*2020-10-21, version 1.1.0*

Can’t create an account because the app won’t display a selection button. My keyboard on my phone and IPad won’t suppress the key board to select register. Really poor quality

### 1/5 — Fixed the app.

*2021-05-31, version 2.0.3*

It works now and they added new features but I’m going to leave TuyaSmart as backup just incase.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2021-04-19, version 2.0.0*

I was able to connect my vacuum (J30), however, when I tried clicking on it...literally nothing happened.  The app would not allow me to access any part of the vacuum.  The app is useless.  Tried TuyaSmart App as well, and that one wouldn’t even FIND the device, let alone let me use it.

### 1/5 — J30

*2021-04-16, version 2.0.0*

J30,  app doesn’t work it won’t let me click on the vacuum connected option,please fix this app.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2021-04-15, version 2.0.0*

It updated and nothing works. And now for some reason is in Chinese!!! 

Useless app!!

### 1/5 — App update

*2021-04-13, version 2.0.0*

Was working great before new app update. Now. Can’t operate it. Can’t get response back from the app developer. Just a 4 month old robot sitting here doing nothing, unable to control or program. This developer is doing nothing to fix this problem. Been 3 weeks. What a joke of a developer. Do not update, download, or buy an ONSON for that matter. Great little robot but needs an app.

### 1/5 — Awesome device/Awful App

*2021-04-09, version 2.0.0*

I loved my ONSON Vaccuum and then they updated the app.  It no longer does any of the things I bought it for. Please roll back to the previous version.

### 1/5 — App is not working!

*2021-04-06, version 2.0.0*

What is going on? My app was working perfectly and suddenly is not working anymore! Other reviews said there was an update and nobody can make the new app to work!!!! ONSON people u need to fix this! I can not create walls or anything!:))) why would u change something that was good for something that doesn’t even work!:((((((((

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2021-04-01, version 2.0.0*

I had a hard time getting the app and vacuum to work the first time. Then they updated the app and it no longer works. I tried using another app but I can’t get the vacuum to reset.

### 1/5 — TuyaSmart works!

*2021-04-01, version 2.0.0*

We got the vacuum working on TuyaSmart app! Before pairing the vacuum with TuyaSmart app, make sure your phone is on a 2.4 gHz network. Devices will not connect on 5 gHz network. Download TuyaSmart app & select the Wi-Fi robot vacuum from the listed option. Make sure your vacuum is in discovery mode. After the pairing, select the Smart.. network from your phones Wi-Fi setting & complete the process. I would have appreciated if Onson would have provided this guidance on how to migrate over to TuyaSmart.. Hope this helps!!

### 1/5 — You can’t make it worse

*2021-03-30, version 2.0.0*

You can’t make this app any worse than it already is. The latest update made the app totally unusable. Now I can’t even program my vacuum.

### 4/5 — Unbroken for now

*2021-04-25, version 2.0.1*

They fixed whatever they broke in the previous update. Was able to use my J30 Pro again. Keeping the TuyaSmart app for backup though.

### 4/5 — Works OK

*2020-08-04, version 1.1.0*

This app is ok. I was able to connect to my device and with Alexa. The only command available with Alexa is for the sweeper to start. It would be nice to also have commands to send the device home and to change the mode (auto, edge or spot).

### 3/5 — Update okay but functionality no

*2021-03-20, version 2.0.0*

Happy to see the app is updated but I can’t even select my vacuum on the home page. You guys need to work on whoever your developer is. Run a test before you decide to push it out.

### 2/5 — Terrible App!

*2021-03-24, version 2.0.0*

The app use to work and now it does nothing! Please fix this!

### 2/5 — TERRIBLE APP

*2021-03-22, version 2.0.0*

The robot seems to be good but the app is TERRIBLE, very poor!

I purchased the Onson Robot J30 Pro last week and it was working perfectly until the app update 2 days ago.

The vacuum works without the app but it is very limited since it doesn’t come with remote control. Unfortunately the only way to schedule it is through the app.

I’m going to wait one more week to see if a new update happens otherwise I will return it. My wife is complaning about it the freaking whole entre day. Thanks for that 👍🏻.

Probably iRobot or Shark brands might be a better option because they are already established in the market.

You look like an amateur company.

### 2/5 — Bad update

*2021-03-22, version 2.0.0*

I bought the j30pro. Its was working fine with the previous version of the app, but with this new update it won't connect to it. Deleted the device and reconnected to it two times. The vacuum will be added on the home page, but I can't click on it. Please fix this bug or push the previous version, which was at least working. Thanks.
