### 1/5 — Oversold

*2026-06-23, version 2.26*

This app is horrible. My remote was lost during a move and it costs a fortune to replace so I have to rely on this app. It constantly crashes, disconnects from my phone, and won’t allow me to edit alarms unless I remove the app completely and then download it again which gives me ONE chance to edit alarms or turn them on or off. If I need to adjust a time or turn one off for a day, I must again remove the app and start over.

### 5/5 — bed

*2026-06-07, version 2.26*

snug as bug in rug

### 3/5 — Fix it

*2025-01-06, version 2.26*

Everything is working but the light control. It doesn't respond

### 1/5 — No longer connects to bed

*2024-10-29, version 2.26*

This no longer connects to the bed over Bluetooth.  So extremely aggravating.  Tried resetting the bed, still no dice.

### 1/5 — Powerbase stopped responding/connecting.

*2024-03-29, version 2.26*

It’s been a couple years since purchase. For whatever reason, the powerbase stopped working today. Can no longer adjust it.

### 3/5 — Revere software-Dissatisfied

*2024-02-08, version 2.26*

App will not hold memory. Have to reboot each time an adjustment is made.

### 1/5 — Abandoned product and app

*2023-11-27, version 2.26*

Plain and simple. It’s been years since this app worked with my over-priced bed’s over priced base.

### 1/5 — Bought a new Purple Premium base?

*2023-09-29, version 2.26*

This app isn't for you, it won't connect to your bed. Look for "Purple Smart Base" in app store

### 1/5 — The app has no way to connect to my power base

*2023-09-21, version 2.26*

The mattress, power base and its remote work fine together but this app has no way for me to connect to the power base. When I navigate to Bluetooth using Connection Wizard or Manual Connection and follow the prompts, I am met with the “Connected Devices: No Beds Connected” and “Nearby Devices: [BLANK]”. There is no way for me to input anything via QR code or text fill, rendering the app useless. I’ve also tried this on the Reverie app and the same user experience occurs.

### 1/5 — Purple remote using IPhone

*2023-06-12, version 2.26*

Device very often does not sync with    temperpedic bed or there is a long delay.
