### 3/5 — App

*2024-12-06, version 2.2*

App  not opening fire type and can’t tap to open link. App was previously working ok on iPhone. Deleted app and shutdown phone and rebooted but still not working.

### 1/5 — Smart eControl

*2023-12-02, version 2.2*

The fan heater continually switches itself off, I have to switch heating back on every 5 minutes or so. Setting thermostat to ‘max’ makes no difference. Very frustrating

### 5/5 — Great customer service

*2023-03-01, version 2.2*

We have had the Gotham fire for nearly two years but only ever used it in the light setting not heat. When we decided to put the heat on recently it wouldn’t work. After one quick phone call to the Flamerite the problem has been solved. Heater is working perfectly. THANK YOU! 🤩

### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2023-02-01, version 2.2*

App is absolutely hopeless. Constantly loses connectivity, frequently need to delete and re-download, and even then it can take up to an hour to finally find the fire again. Nice idea, but unfortunately does not work.

### 3/5 — Convenient but inconsistent

*2023-01-28, version 2.2*

Handy to switch on / turn up heating without moving, but I frequently find the heat resets itself to “off” when my phone screen locks even if the flame/flicker remains on, so I have to manually set back to on every 10 mins or when I realise the room has gone cold, which is frustrating.

### 2/5 — M Holden

*2022-01-08, version 2.2*

Really getting fed up with this app. Keeps losing connectivity to the fire and I have to keep reinstalling the app. Have to reinstall the app each time I return home, would be better with a remote control rather than the app. Extremely disappointed.

### 2/5 — Smart eControl

*2021-12-12, version 2.2*

When working the app is easy to use. However it is constantly unpairing it’s self to my phone and slightly annoying the fire can only be controlled by one device at a time

### 2/5 — No Apple HomeKit Support

*2021-05-20, version 2.2*

App works ok, however in this day and age I would expect to be able to use Siri commands to control this device. 
App needs updating to bring it up to date with this feature.

### 5/5 — Flamerite fire App

*2020-10-15, version 2.2*

Love this app, it gives me full control over the fire without leaving my seat what more could you ask for. 5 stars from me *****

### 1/5 — Fire fan is noisy

*2020-10-03, version 2.2*

We can’t use the fire due to the noisy fan. I thought there should be a setting in the app to slow the fan speed but it seems they haven’t thought of this. So we have a £3,500 bespoke fireplace to suit the flame rite 1300 fire that’s not fit for purpose due the loud fan noise.
