### 2/5 — App crashes when trying to create a Connect account.

*2026-08-23, version 2.66*

One of the selling points to upgrading my bed was that it works with Alexa. But in order to do that, you have to sign up through the app for Reverie Connect. But every time I try, the app crashes and won’t save my info. Really frustrated right now because I hate having to grab my phone every time I want to adjust my bed. I want to use Alexa!!

### 3/5 — Unpredictable

*2026-08-04, version 2.66*

For us, this app is for emergency use only due to the controls being unpredictable.

### 3/5 — Nightstand

*2026-04-23, version 2.66*

It would be a higher rating if I had help with figuring out how to set up the options on Nightstand.  It’s been trial and error.

### 4/5 — Make a widget for the app

*2026-02-05, version 2.66*

The app itself is good once you learn how to use it. Could be 5 stars if there was a widget a make this app
More easily accessible

### 4/5 — Crashes

*2025-05-15, version 2.66*

Update: deleting the app and reinstalling it resolves the immediate crash issue. 

With the latest iOS (18.4.1), the app no longer launches. It crashes immediately after launching it. If your physical remote stops working, or stops charging, your only option is to buy the way overpriced $140 physical remote.

### 2/5 — Glitchy and unreliable

*2025-02-18, version 2.66*

Is this a Beta? It surely acts like a product under development. Alarm function does not work at all. Input to response times vary from a second or two to unresponsive. I’ve only had the thing two days and I’m already very dissatisfied.

### 2/5 — Mostly works.

*2024-12-21, version 2.66*

The functions are good, except if the screen locks, then the Massage function stops. 

If you leave the app, then the Massage function stops

### 2/5 — Shuts off once phone locks

*2024-09-04, version 2.66*

Anytime I use the massage setting once my phone locks or I try to go to a different screen the massage shuts off. I have tried to leave the app open but it still shuts off.

### 1/5 — Crashes doesn’t keep the vibration on when you close the app even when on the timed setting

*2024-05-09, version 2.66*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2024-03-25, version 2.66*

I constantly lose connection and have to manually locate and connect to device.
The dashboard doesn’t let you set your favorite position. 
Long delay when touching plus or minus signs, so you hit it again and wait, hit it again and wait …. Then finally when it does engage, it goes past your desired position.  
This app is non responsive and cumbersome.

### 4/5 — Very convenient, BUT……

*2024-01-12, version 2.66*

This app was working fabulous for me after my remotes charging port got broken. But now for some reason if I have the massage on and try and close out of the app to do anything else on my phone… it turns my massage off.. so that’s very frustrating. And I couldn’t find a way to contact support for the app without having the serial # and other info that I have apparently misplaced. Hopefully this issue is fixed soon. Once it is I’d give the app 10 STARS! If I could.

### 1/5 — Needs immediate fix

*2023-12-11, version 2.66*

Now the functions of the bed, like the massaging motors turn off as soon as you minimize the app, or do something else on your phone. 
This needs to be fixed immediately!!

### 2/5 — Timer

*2023-11-24, version 2.66*

Does not work

### 1/5 — Frequently crashes

*2023-10-19, version 2.66*

Crashes every time I choose an option on the left side

### 1/5 — Doesn’t detect dual-tilt base for pairing

*2023-10-16, version 2.66*

Old version of app used to control dual tilt base. Now, it can’t even detect it for pairing.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2023-08-12, version 2.66*

This has to be the stupidest app. You hit the + sign and half the time it raises the bed way up to 40 or more. 
Try to raise the head  and the lumbar goes off by itself!!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — The app sucks

*2026-09-01, version 2.66*

The app sucks.

### 1/5 — Stops Working When Closed—Frustrating!

*2026-01-24, version 2.66*

NightStand is disappointing because it can’t function once the app is closed. A clock or utility app like this really needs background functionality. Without that, it’s not useful for my needs. I hope this gets fixed soon.

### 1/5 — Bad app, no maintenance

*2025-10-02, version 2.66*

Like many I've been screwed with 2 control boxes going out now, and this app that isn't updated and barely works

### 1/5 — UPDATE!!!

*2025-09-12, version 2.66*

App has not been updated for over two years.  Thinks the pillow tilt is lumbar.  I bought this adjustable base because it’s supposed to work with Alexa. But in order to get it to work with Alexa, you have to setup Reverie Connect.  Every time I try, the app crashes.  Guess I need to return the base.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-03-02, version 2.66*

You have to keep the app open or the massage stops.

### 1/5 — Motorize bed is not working

*2024-10-30, version 2.66*

Motorize bed has not worked well since this was installed.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work half the time

*2024-10-14, version 2.66*

Every time I try to change the bed position, I have to fiddle through various screens, push the same buttons multiple times, turn my other device on and off, and jump through multiple hoops to get the pp to start working. Very annoying. I’ve filmed the screen with my phone several times to have a record of it, which I’m happy to pass on to the developer if you’d like to fix this problem.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2024-09-26, version 2.66*

App does not work, many of the functions works 50%. If you are lucky on some nights, the memory function work but usually it take multiple attempts before the app works. It will stop & go and you have to manually set head & feet. As of right now, app is dead nothing is working. Very frustrating!

### 1/5 — Poorly designed app

*2024-09-18, version 2.66*

This app is low quality and doesn’t work most of the time.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-05-23, version 2.66*

App continues to crash on load. Please fix so I don’t have to fumble for my remote. iPhone 15 pro max, iOS 17.4.1

I deleted the app and downloaded it again from the App Store. Now everything works perfectly!

### 5/5 — Like it

*2024-10-06, version 2.66*

I really like it. Many years enjoying and still more thanks

### 5/5 — Pairing to Bluetooth

*2024-02-24, version 2.66*

I don’t know what happened but I was able to have my bed paired with my phone and my iPad until today. I had to uninstall it and reinstall the app for issues and then I read you can only have it on one device at a time but it wasn’t like that before, can you fix that issue please

### 5/5 — App won’t open on iPhone XR

*2023-06-01, version 2.66*

Please help reverie, I bought the reverie 9t in 2018, but now my app keeps crashing when I try to open now, may 2023, please fix so I can change to 5 stars, edit, delete app and reinstall! Back to 5 stars

### 5/5 — Under bed lighting

*2023-05-07, version 2.64*

Everything works fine except for the under bed lighting. Why can’t they just get this right in the app

### 5/5 — Scott TG

*2022-09-02*

I always have my phone which means I always have a remote.  Nothing worse then remote getting lost in the bed.  Would like to see a couple of improvements.   Needs a consistent flow between screens.  Sometimes it is slow when toggling from massage to lift lower screen.  I do have poor internet in that area of the house so it could be an internet connection issue.  Keep up the great products and service

### 5/5 — Not working properly since IOS 15.1

*2021-11-12, version 2.51*

Inconsistent moves up and down. Touch the plus sign and sometimes the bed moves up 3 points, other times it moves up to the max position. This needs to be updated.

### 5/5 — The app crashes after the update.

*2021-01-25, version 2.41*

The app continues to crash and we can’t put our bed flat now. Super frustrating.

—————-

The issue has been resolved.

### 5/5 — New app is crashing. (Fixed)

*2020-12-31, version 2.41*

I just did the upgrade soon as you launch the app it crashes I’m on the current iOS

Update 
2.4.1 fixed 
Make sure you delete the old app first
