### 1/5 — Pointless app

*2023-08-17, version 1.7.2*

Trying to use the different light settings on my mirror and the app does nothing and doesn’t even stay connected.  My mirror is stuck on the setting I set up 2+ years ago and there’s no way to adjust with the useless app.

### 1/5 — Mirror doesn’t connect to Bluetooth/wi-fi

*2023-08-12, version 1.7.2*

What good is a $300 mirror if you can’t use all the features!?? Looking at the reviews, this was clearly a problem a year ago - and now it’s August 2023 and these issues have not been fixed/addressed yet!??

### 1/5 — Shockingly poor!

*2023-06-13, version 1.7.2*

Where is the developer? This app just does not work. I’m unable to set up my mirror as it says it’s linked to another account and won’t set it up. I only have one account & im logged into it. I’ve had the mirror for 5 years & the original app worked fine.  This has rendered my £300 pro mirror just a light up mirror, I have no control over light settings. I can’t believe Simple Human are not addressing this. Avoid like the plague.

### 1/5 — Un desastre

*2023-04-30, version 1.7.2*

No entiendo como un espejo tan caro puede tener una aplicación con un nivel de usabilidad tan nefasto. Un desastre.

### 1/5 — Won’t connect!

*2023-03-29, version 1.7.2*

Please improve app. I have been trying to connect my mirror with no success. This should be SIMPLE Simplehuman.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-03-23, version 1.7.2*

My mirror no longer connects and once upon a time, when it did, it stopped staying  lit/connected. I thought I’d try a year later and (obviously) forgot my password. Put in my email and it’s tells me if I have an account I’ll receive an email to rest my password. Easy enough. I get the email, rest my password. The moment I go to log in it says “contact customer support”. Been there, done that. Never got anywhere with them a year ago. I’m not about to waste more time on this. The price for this mirror was insane. No reason in the world there should be this many problem. Once a well respected brand. I see many others now consider this a total waste of time and money as well. This mirror will go in the trash where it belongs. Never again on any of these simple human products.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2023-01-02, version 1.7.2*

The app cannot connect to the mirror - it failed multiple times

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work?!

*2022-11-20, version 1.7.2*

I love my mirror, but upgrades to the app seem to be more like ‘downgrades’ to be honest. Buttons on the app don’t work, so you can see different settings and select say an alarm time but what you can’t do, is save anything!! Feeling rather frustrated to say the least :(

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-10-26, version 1.7.2*

I can’t connect with my mirror, tried several times, tried tips on website, shouldn’t be this hard

### 1/5 — Do not buy!!

*2022-10-08, version 1.7.2*

The mirror has come twice (won't work straight out of the box!) I have contacted customer service and only get sent a failed replacement. The app doesn't connect and overall it has been a nightmare! Can I just get my money back?!

### 1/5 — New app doesn’t work

*2022-08-04, version 1.7.2*

I have sensor mirror pro wide view. It worked fine with the old app. With the new app, it has issues with the Wi-Fi even though my Wi-Fi is fine. The app can find the mirror but I cannot change any settings in the mirror. Very frustrated. After reading other reviews, I realized the company didn’t fix the app for at least two years. I contacted their customer service once using the text message but they didn’t have any answer for me…

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-06-26, version 1.7.2*

I have no way of adjusting the light settings on this very expensive mirror. Sent one back, I get a refurbished version and still not working. The app keeps saying check wifi and disconnect mirror.
Contact customer support and no answer.

### 1/5 — Would give - stars

*2022-06-09, version 1.6.1*

Purchasing this mirror was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. At first I absolutely loved the mirror & the app! But Simplehuman, are making it anything but simple! Constant app changes have made this mirror utterly useless.

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2022-06-08, version 1.6.1*

This without exaggeration is the dumbest app on my device. I’m using the latest version and the app “developer”/product team were too lazy to remove the “logs” prompt button so now it just sits as overlay on top of text. On top of that the app has  logged me out, “magic link” doesn’t work and the email for forgotten password is never received. What’s the point of the app now, it’s pure garbage?

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2022-05-30, version 1.2.2*

Seriously simplehuman. Time for a new company to do your app. Did you take away the power button in the app on this latest iteration?  For such an expensive mirror, there should be an obvious in-app  way to kill the light when I want to. Don’t get me started on connectivity issues. I regret this purchase every time I have to interact with the stupid app.

### 1/5 — No control

*2022-05-26, version 1.2.2*

Unlike other users, I seeming can connect and setup to my WiFi. However, none of the settings I change make a difference. When I change a setting, it sticks in the app, but I get no confirmation the changes have synced to the mirror, and the mirror ignores the changes.

### 1/5 — Won’t connect

*2022-05-18, version 1.2.2*

Very frustrating I’ve had the mirror for a couple years now with the new update it up it no longer will recognize or find the mirror.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-04-11, version 1.2.2*

Tried again and again following all advice.  It couldn’t find the mirror.  So cant reccomend and am now having problem finding a nickname that hasn’t been taken!

### 1/5 — Junk App

*2022-04-07, version 1.2.2*

I love the mirror however this app is complete junk. It keeps disconnecting from the Wi-Fi and I cannot set up any of the settings in this app. I don’t want it in manual mode it will not come out of manual mode. When I set it to shut off after 10 seconds there is no save button to save your features. I can’t even adjust any lighting at all, none of this works.I also bought the travel mirror and then will not connect to Wi-Fi whatsoever I have done absolutely everything the directions say to do and it will not connect, sending it back!  It’s amazing to me how you can charge as much as you do for this equipment but you can’t run a simple app. Fire whoever is running this app and get people who know what they’re doing for the love of God.

### 1/5 — Wifi?

*2025-12-23, version 1.7.6*

I logged in and for the wifi setting up thing it said something about not expecting it for some sort of reason and I retried it but it took forever to find my wifi

### 1/5 — If I could give a 0 star rating I would

*2025-10-20, version 1.7.5*

I’ve been contacting the Simplehuman team for months about the app not working with my mirror, and all I keep hearing is that they’re “working on it.” It’s been over four months with no real fix or progress. The mirror is supposed to be a premium product, yet it relies on an app that completely ruins the experience.

It’s honestly unbelievable that a company of this size hasn’t fixed an issue that affects so many customers. The reviews here speak for themselves — people have been complaining for years and nothing has changed. If the app can’t be fixed, they should at least create a new one so customers can actually use what they paid for.

I love the mirror itself, but it’s basically useless without the app. Simplehuman, do better.

### 1/5 — Ne sert à rien

*2025-09-28, version 1.7.5*

Impossible de connecter le miroir en plus wifi indétectable 
Pour le prix du miroir c’est pas serieux

### 1/5 — INTERNAL SERVICE ERROR

*2025-01-11, version 1.7.5*

I just purchased a new mirror, and I cannot connect it to the WiFi. I keep getting a message that says internal service error. It’s been 5 days and it still will not connect and they don’t make this mirror anymore. This is upsetting. I’ve un-installed the app and updated my phone to the newest IOS. I’m giving it 3 more days or I may have to return it and not look back.

### 1/5 — Does not pair

*2025-01-09, version 1.7.5*

My wife was seeing stars after using the mirror because it is so bright. I suggested she try to use the app to also the brightness but it will not pair with either of our phones, so now we have a $300 mirror that does nothing. It looks like this has been going on for a couple of years now. I didn’t know I would need an app to use this mirror or I would never have wasted my money.

### 1/5 — Une catastrophe

*2024-07-13, version 1.7.5*

Une catastrophe. Des déconnexions intempestives, un éclairage qui ne change pas. Parfait pour un miroir à 400 euro 👌

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2024-05-17, version 1.7.5*

App pésima, no es posible vincular con el espejo.  El soporte técnico también lamentable

### 1/5 — Complete Garbage

*2024-01-12, version 1.7.2*

Doesn’t link, now my mirror won’t even light up & when it does it goes of in a few seconds. Utterly useless app, useless mirror.

### 1/5 — Do not buy.

*2024-01-11, version 1.7.2*

I got this as a gift from my grandmother, it should never be this hard to connect a MIRROR to an app, simplyhuman needs to get its act together. When I first got the mirror it took awhile for the mirror to even connect the app, when I connected to the app I tried to click on one of the different light settings, nothing happened on my mirror and I also never got any options displayed on the photo to turn the brightness down, up etc. After a minute of sitting there seeing if something would happen, a message popped up “Uh-ho! You’re not connected to WiFi reconnect” when I knew I was. I tried 3 more times and yet absolutely nothing is occurring for my mirror, I also don’t have the clock option shown at the top, only a timer and the light adjustments. This is extremely disappointing since my mommom spent a good amount of money for this for me and it doesn’t work as displayed. Very very disappointing, especially since this has been an issue for years so it shows you how much this company cares.

### 1/5 — Same problem as the other 50 reviewers

*2023-10-10, version 1.7.2*

My sensor round pro mirror stopped connecting to the app. I assumed there was something wrong with the mirror. I ordered a refurbished one, when it arrived the same problem connecting occurred. Yes I have the Bluetooth on, yes I have the correct wifi. So no, it’s not my mirror, it’s the app as so many others have stated. And customer service is impossible to reach…emails and texts turn into days of no response. Give us a phone number and a live human to work with…simple, right?😡

### 5/5 — Mom

*2025-03-03, version 1.7.5*

Easy set up! Love it

### 5/5 — Update - Simplehuman has fixed the issues.

*2022-03-19, version 1.2.2*

I would have strongly preferred to not have had to contact Simplehuman’s support team as I have been very sick and did not have the time or energy to spare, but in a recent update they actually did address the issues I brought up and fixed the app. I appreciate that they listened to my concerns and this app now includes all of the features that I want. 

Previous review:
My mirror was working perfectly with the old app. I opened it today and it has apparently been redesigned and I was directed to use this app instead. This app is missing two important features of the old one. I cannot see the charge level of my mirror now, and I also cannot adjust the settings so that the light turns off automatically for any length of time past 30 seconds. The previous app allowed me to choose 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes, on top of the options this new app has. I’ve enjoyed having this mirror but unless those features are added to this app, I will not purchase from this company again.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2022-01-20, version 1.2*

Easy to use and understand. Makes my mirror even better!

### 5/5 — Beautiful, intuitive

*2020-05-19, version 1.0.10*

Bought this mirror as a gift for my wife. Had none of the issues that others had with setup, seems like the bugs have been fixed. 10/10

### 2/5 — Come on simple human get it together!

*2020-05-26, version 1.0.10*

Got this mirror from my boyfriend and not able to connect the app. Please fix this issue soon or I will return. Not worth the hassle and headache of this app. Or if you fix it somewhat maybe send all who purchased a gift card to get something else that will work. Thanks!
