Bottom line is that the app is useless. It will not open. Period. It needs to be fixed or removed from the App Store. ### 1/5 — This app *2023-07-31* It’s garbage and that should not be able to see to download take it off is bull👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Don’t work ! *2023-07-31* All will not open ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2023-07-07* Will not open on phone hit app closes useless ### 1/5 — Does not work. *2023-02-28* I downloaded this to my phone several times. I got to same results myself as a last reviewer. It would not open just get a black screen. I deleted it from my phone. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2022-09-19* This app is garbage! I downloaded to my phone to be able to use the smart plug and it would never open. I downloaded it at least 4 times and I had the same result each time Nothing just a black screen when I try to open it..Don’t buy Their product hoping to use it as A smart device because it will not work.. their App is worthless… ### 1/5 — Bankrupt? No Support? *2022-07-10* This afternoon longer even loads. And that means that my quirky GE power strip only has two working outlets since the other two require the smart app and it’s integration into smart hubs. So do not waste your money on anything from GE or Corky or this app developer. Maybe someone will actually compensate people for having invested into their products and technologies and then been thrown to the curb. ### 1/5 — App does nothing but Crash *2022-06-21* Bought a power strip but cannot use it as the App does nothing but CRASH upon opening - DISAPPOINTED ### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK *2022-02-15* Although you can still buy Quirky products, the app crashes and it doesn’t seem like they’re going to fix it. If you just purchased a Quirky product, take it back now. ## Frequently asked questions about Quirky Pivot Power Smart ### What can I control with Quirky Pivot Power Smart?
