### 1/5 — SCAM

*2024-11-27*

This app is a scam

### 1/5 — Roomba App

*2024-11-14, version 1.7*

This is not apples fault but this app should be free use.

### 1/5 — SCAMMM!!!

*2024-10-23, version 1.7*

Absolute scam and no way to get your money back. After 20 minutes of being downloaded the App just crashes and gets you no where. Smh

### 1/5 — Misleading app

*2024-10-16, version 1.7*

Searched for iRobot Home and this was first in the search. It is NOT the app you need for your roomba. Trying to get a refund.

### 2/5 — App Keeps Crashing and No Refund from Apple

*2024-10-14, version 1.7*

---

I purchased this app and, within 30 minutes of trying to use it, it kept crashing every time I opened it. I immediately requested a refund, but Apple refused. It’s frustrating that Apple won’t refund a product that doesn’t work as advertised. If Apple is selling something on their platform that doesn’t function properly, they should stand by the customer and offer a refund. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — New app

*2024-06-16, version 1.6*

The old app was a bit lot better and it was free! Now all kinds of problems are happening and the new app doesn’t have any help and it’s simple but it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2024-05-17, version 1.6*

It’s not even letting me connect to my Roomba and it gives me instructions to follow that didn’t even help at all.

### 2/5 — Shark Robot Sweep & Mop

*2024-04-11, version 1.6*

I liked it the first time.  It did the whole house then mopped it.  My home looked great.  I’ve been trying to get it to just do certain rooms.  But I guess she has a mind of her own and instead of cleaning the Master Bedroom, she’s doing the whole house!!  I don’t have 3 to 6 hours for her to complete this!!  All I wanted was the Master Bedroom cleaned!!
If I had of known this, I would’ve bought it!!  I watched the commercial on this Shark Robot and they said you can send her to whatever room you need done!!  Maybe I’m not enough computer savvy!!
I’M  NOT  A  HAPPY  CUSTOMER!!

### 1/5 — Fake app don’t buy

*2023-12-27, version 1.4*

Fake app don’t buy will not work with roomba or any other robot

### 1/5 — FAKE APP

*2023-12-19, version 1.4*

This is NOT THE OFFICIAL IROBOT APP

The real iRobot app is FREE and has NO CHARGERS

### 1/5 — Don’t fall for this scam

*2023-12-15, version 1.4*

Designed to mimic IRobot’s app, will ask for a subscription before you find out it needs the REAL app to even work.

### 1/5 — No tech support

*2023-12-10, version 1.4*

I wasted my money on the Roomba and this app. I wanted to like both. The Roomba won’t complete a job. Every few minutes it stops and send a message to empty the bin. The bin is not full, pet hair doesn’t go into the bin and triggers the sensor. I contacted tech support on this app and never received a response. When I paid $20 for premium options this seems inexcusable.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-12-02, version 1.4*

Do Not Pay. This is not official iRobot App. No need to pay for an app. The official App is free.

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work

*2026-08-06, version 1.7*

App crashes constantly and is completely unusable. Do not waste your time

### 1/5 — Somebody help!

*2026-04-04, version 1.7*

Bought new six months ago. Hasn’t ever worked.

### 1/5 — Phishing. DO NOT BUY.

*2026-01-05, version 1.7*

Popped up when I was installing the Roomba app. This app is not necessary to operate a Roomba. The manufacturer app works just fine.

### 1/5 — Not Roomba product

*2025-09-28, version 1.7*

This is NOT an iRobot ROOMBA PRODUCT! Beware of giving someone in china your WiFi password and a map of your house.😳

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-09-09, version 1.7*

I purchased the lifetime and now my app wont open to use my iRobot.  Dont waste the money, use a different app.

### 1/5 — COMPLETE RIPOFF 😡

*2025-02-22, version 1.7*

Does not work at all. This is just a scam to take your money and give you nothing in return.

### 1/5 — Complete scam

*2025-02-12, version 1.7*

Save your money and don’t pay, there’s a free app from the manufacturer they are trying to mimic. I wish I could get my money back and give it a zero star

### 1/5 — Monthly Fee

*2024-12-19, version 1.7*

You buy a Ibot at a premium price and then they want to charge a monthly fee!

### 1/5 — Phishing

Was loading I robot and this popped up. Clicked instead of read. Now into a phish for 27.99. Don’t trust anybody

### 1/5 — NOT THE IROBOT ROOMBA APP

*2024-12-03, version 1.7*

### 5/5 — Heaven

*2025-10-07, version 1.7*

I love about not being in the mood to vacuum, tell Heaven, Roomba, to vacuum and continue on with my day.  Sometimes I just read will she does her thing.  Love it.

### 5/5 — I am the world’s worse house keeper.

*2025-02-19, version 1.7*

I have had an iRobot model Six hundred for a very long time.  
 It is fantastic. All I do is push a button and forget about vacuuming. When it is done I empty the bin. It can’t get any easier. I bought less expensive non iRobot vacuums for my two sons. Neither lasted three years. Mine is over tens years old. I have replaced two batteries and two sets of brushes and it still cleans like a champ. You will never make a better investment.

### 5/5 — Robbie

*2025-02-10, version 1.7*

I love Robbie. I’m getting up there in years, but am allergic to dust. I can count on Robbie!

### 5/5 — i robot 15

*2024-12-22, version 1.7*

having trouble programming

### 5/5 — iHome

*2024-02-25, version 1.6*

iHome

### 5/5 — Shark I Robot

*2023-01-18, version 1.3*

I am 79 years old and have health problems. It has been so hard to vacuum my floors with regular upright vacuum cleaner and this Robot vacuum has been a blessing.

### 5/5 — Basstenderjohns

*2022-12-08, version 1.2*

I have 2 dogs that shed a lot of hair and a sandy yard. This thing kicks butt on all that.

### 5/5 — Nice job

*2022-11-29*

The set up is not simple but once it’s done, the robot works great. Love how clean the floor gets everytime it finishes the task.

### 4/5 — Roomba robot

*2026-02-16, version 1.7*

It is not a good vacuum. It is difficult to set up and then still has a mind of its own

### 3/5 — Steve

*2025-03-11, version 1.7*

None
