Good and bad
Controlling and setting up the blinds is actually fairly simple with this new app compared to the old way SelecBlinds did things with the Bond system. Some huge benefits are being able to set the “limits” very easily within the app and not having to use a remote control with weird button combinations to fine tune things.
A huge drawback to this new system is that it no longer uses the 400MHz frequency, simply relying on Bluetooth.
As a result I’ve found consistent issues controlling the blinds with the app or remote. I have 5 blinds, all within about 15 feet of a remote or hub. However almost 50% of the time one of the blinds doesn’t respond to a signal.
So this app is an improvement in setting up blinds and fine tuning, but the overall system in total is actually a couple steps back in terms of actually responding to commands on the first try.

Simply Terrible
This is a terribly designed and even more poorly executed app. The commands work intermittently at best. The scheduling features do not work at all and seem to have a mind of their own.

Easy to setup
Pretty straight forward to setup and use! Ezpz!
Poorly done
This could be such a good app. It literally took me a whole day setting up 28 blinds. Absolute waste of time. The app freezes constantly, drains the phone battery. They need to fix this. Horrible customer experience.

Simple and effective
Bought some blinds and set them to close every afternoon. Now the bedroom stays cool even when we forget. Setup was a breeze. Surprised to be able to use this on my Mac!
