### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-03-08, version 1.1.2*

Keeps crashing and forgetting the data I have inputted

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-03-01, version 1.1.2*

App is trash!! Keeps telling me to connect to WiFi and I’m on WiFi.  No guidance at all!

### 1/5 — HORRIFFIC

*2026-01-22, version 1.1.2*

What idiot app developers created this garbage. This has got to be worse app in the world! I can’t believe Apple allows this trash.

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2025-06-22, version 1.1.2*

The machine can be running and yet the app refuses to turn on and connect to the machine so that I can make adjustments. It keeps saying device offline even when the device is actually running. App hasn’t been upgraded since I first downloaded it a few years ago.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-04-24, version 1.1.2*

Will not connect to WiFi

### 1/5 — Don’t worry

*2024-10-22, version 1.1.2*

Erase this app if you don’t have good service! App is freezing

### 1/5 — Unable To Connect

*2024-09-14, version 1.1.2*

It tries to use wifi but won’t connect.  Bluetooth might be way to go.  (Hint, hint… )

### 1/5 — Worse app on the AppStore

*2024-08-30, version 1.1.2*

They need a negative star option. Just remove it and save people from headaches.

### 1/5 — App Will Not Connect

*2024-08-12, version 1.1.2*

I cannot get the app to connect with my wifi! The settings on the diffuser is to difficult to change without the app! Please update your app to work or change the way you manually set the diffuser!!

### 4/5 — It’s ok, I’ve used worse for these diffusers

*2024-08-11, version 1.1.2*

Update:  if ever you can’t find the machine listed in your WiFi list, push the “up” button until you hear the 4 beeps. It resets something, but shouldn’t reset all of your presets, thank god!  First, it’s hella sketch that it asks for your phone #. They use it to text you a code, needlessly. They also ask you to put in your WiFi password. No way. You can set this up just like you set up an Amazon Echo. First thing is to make sure you set it to your local time and day (it uses 24hr mode). Then hold the “up” button on the machine until you hear 4 beeps, then go to your WiFi networks and select the one that just popped up. They give you the default password in the instructions. Go back to the app and select “ap mode.” You should now be able to do *most* things (they won’t let you change the pic w/o being connected to WiFi…). I’ve been able to change all of the important settings: the volume of oil, how much I started with, how many mL/hour, how long it releases, and how long it pauses. You absolutely can do all of this from the machine, too. (And for the folks that paid more than a hundred bucks, get thee to aliexpress, asap. And for really good, authentic scents try scentfluence. I don’t work for either, but I did the leg work, so I’m sharing. Most importantly, DO NOT PUT YOUR WIFI PASSWORD INTO THIS APP. And if you have a Google voice number or something like that, all the better so you don’t have to use your real one. Good luck!
