Overall I like the concept, but I can’t even use it right now. The Bluetooth took several attempts to connect but I was able to get it working on day 1. Day 2 it keeps asking my to setup a profile when I already have one. No login option. I was just going to make another profile, but after you key in your height it goes back to the beginning asking for your name all over again. It’s an endless loop. As a fellow professional coder, this is garbage, please fix. ### 2/5 — The App could use some improvements *2026-01-07* So far I love my Saunabox but there are some issues with the phone app that could be improved. The Bluetooth connection is weird, it requires me to find the Saunabox and start a new connection every use rather than remember the unit from session to session. But the most annoying app complaint is when I set it up with a time and temperature and it resets to whatever setting it wants to, example, I’ll set it to 15 temp for 30 minutes, but after a 10 minute heat up it reverts back to 8 temp for 20 minutes every time I use it. ### 2/5 — Less clicks to start sauna! *2025-09-11* I love the product, but the app should be geared to using the sauna. It’s so many clicks to change the settings if you didn’t start a session with the app. If the sauna is already going, why can’t I see the current setting when I connect rather than starting the session from scratch? Also, the amount of time for preheat is not enough. Sauna was still cold. ### 2/5 — SaunaBox Go fail *2025-04-08* The app fails to connect to the steam box. Also fails to cancel session requiring you to wait entire session to reset. It advertises Bluetooth controls of temp and time but I’ve only seen it work once before crashing. Be aware the sauna itself is great using manual controls but the app is useless. ### 1/5 — Pointless app *2025-03-06* Bluetooth doesn’t stay connected, or auto connect from session to session. Not sure why people say you can adjust temp and time, because it literally doesn’t offer any sort of control of your “session” other than logging the time. Legit no reason to download this ### 5/5 — Easy Connectivity *2025-02-25* On par for the brand, the app is super easy to connect to your SaunaBox. The dashboard is simple and has everything you need to remotely control your sauna. ### 5/5 — Love! *2025-02-25* App is amazing and so easy to use, has the best support team and haven’t had any issues. Super pleased with SaunaBox and will continue to use! ### 5/5 — One of the best purchases I’ve ever made! *2025-02-25* I purchased the saunabox smartstream and its been amazing. makes me feel energized each morning after my workout. highly recommend!! ### 1/5 — 5-stat product, 1-star app *2025-02-24, version 1.1* Why doesn't our device just "remember" the saunabox? When I reconnect, a 35 min ghost session starts and I cannot pre heat Closing the ghost session severs the BT connection, making me have to start over. A remote did a better job than this. ### 1/5 — No remote?! *2025-02-23* The only way to control the sauna box go is from your phone. The app is one of the most frustrating things to use. It’s not easy. It’s glitchy and it only lets you start a session if you’re lucky. The sauna box itself is awesome and easy to use. I would like to see a bit longer hoses for the connections not one long and one short. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Just Use The Box *2026-05-16* The Saunabox Pro Steamer with the infra red system is great within itself. But this app? Garbage. Doesn’t consistently pair. Preheat didn’t work & completely shut down the session when I tried going back into the app. Please just go back to the remote if you can’t get the app in order please and thank you. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2026-04-12, version 1.7* The app just keeps looping me through setting up my profile. I’ve updated but still can’t set up. ### 1/5 — Preheat doesn’t work *2026-03-08, version 1.6* Saunabox Go preheat function doesn’t work at all. ### 1/5 — Solara Wooden SaunaBox *2026-02-26, version 1.6* This app 100% doesn’t work with my unit. The sauna is great, but there is connection to my unit to this app. Please fix the bug, so I can preheat my sessions. ### 1/5 — Solara wooden Sauna *2026-02-23, version 1.6* This app 100% doesn’t work with my unit. The sauna is great, but there is connection to my unit to this app. Please fix the bug, so I can preheat my sessions. ### 1/5 — Worked for a second…. *2026-02-06* Aside from the UI which is pretty basic and needs some help, the app worked for three sessions without issue. Now, it’s stuck on the “customize your experience” pages with name, age, height, etc. I’ve deleted it and reinstalled three times and no luck. They need a serious overhaul to make this useful. ### 1/5 — Never connects *2026-01-24, version 1.5* This app is awful. It never connects to the unit. It gives an error every single time. ### 1/5 — Non Functional with SteamBox *2026-01-10* 1. First off unclear what you connecting too. Has multiple things in list but once you connect. It’s intermittent whether it preheats or not. 2. If it does preheat properly it NEVER goes into session you setup, it immediately turns off. You can select start session on app but steam kit is not on a running at all. You then have to manually turn on. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-12-16, version 1.4* Bluetooth doesn’t connect on android or iPhone ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work and you can’t get support *2025-12-13, version 1.4* App is pretty atrocious. The UI makes little to no sense - you cannot remove a device once connected. So when the app doesn’t work to your Saunabox there isn’t a way to reset it. For some reason you also can’t remove it from your Bluetooth settings manually. Heaven forbid you want to submit a support ticket - the app still doesn’t work. Real shame given that the product itself is great - but why spend more for the app version if it doesn’t work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — love the new look of the app *2025-10-02* I used the older app before, and the new one definitely looks nicer. The design feels cleaner and it’s easier to use. Tracking my sessions just feels easier now ### 5/5 — new app looks so great！ *2025-07-11, version 1.4* now I use it almost everyday ### 5/5 — New app is awesome *2025-05-30* The new app is 100x better than the old one. Great work and thanks for listening to your customers. ### 5/5 — BEST APP *2025-03-26, version 1.1* Love my sauna box so much and this app is a perfect combo with it ### 5/5 — Best purchase ever *2025-03-13* This was the best purchase ever! I now can do at home workouts and then use it instead of going to the gym and having to share a sauna. Even on days I just wanna use the sauna I can just go to my garage and use this instead having to get my truck and waste gas! VERY VERY RECOMMENDED!! ### 5/5 — Great add-on feature *2025-02-27* The app has been a great add on feature to my SmartSteam kit. I’m able to track my weekly sauna sessions + guided meditations while using it. Overall 10/10 ### 5/5 — LOVE it!!! *2025-02-26* I recently tried Saunabox, and it exceeded all my expectations. The convenience of having it right in my home made the experience even better. I also loved the smooth setup. I felt so refreshed and rejuvenated after every session. 10/10!!!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-02-26, version 1.1* App works really well, and it has made my sauna sessions even better and easier. love it! ### 5/5 — Works well for me *2025-02-26* Since getting the App, everything has worked flawlessly. Setup was also a breeze and everything connected the first time. I like being able to set the time and temp from my phone. The built in music and meditations are a neat feature too. ### 5/5 — Solid App that works well with their products *2025-02-25* After using this app for a couple of weeks I am very pleased. It's been a game-changer for tracking my sauna sessions. The app is super user-friendly and offers a ton of great features. I can easily set my desired temperature and session length, and it gives me reminders to stay hydrated. The built-in timer ensures I never overdo it, and I can track my progress over time. The app's sleek design makes navigation a breeze, and I love the calming visuals and sounds that help enhance the sauna experience. Whether you're new to saunas or a seasoned pro, Sauna Box is a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their sauna routine!
