Glitchy app

Glitchy app only matched by the terrible software that comes with Samsung Frame T

Hate the latest update

The button to select the device is also the button to turn it off or on. They can’t be part of the same button at that size because with fat fingers to end up turning the device off all the time! Very annoying

Doesn’t Work

After signing in, all I get is spinning circle and nothing displays. This app used to work, but is now useless.

It’s good

I could compatible all my matter devices and my ring devices and my ecobee and the ecobee doorbell and light. It’s really nice. You should download it.
