sadly hasn’t worked for 2+ years
i bought 2 side tables and 1 coffee table from Sobro just over 3 years ago. while the outlets on the coffee table stopped working after about 6 months with no solution, this is about the app. the app and controls have not worked for the last 2 years and Sobro has yet to have a fix for it it seems after reading the other reviews. candidly, i’m not sure they’ve ever even tried to fix the issue, i think they just wanted to release cool products and the apps/functionality was an afterthought which is interesting considering you need to use the app to use the products. on my bedside tables, the fridge and lights work and i love having bedside tables and a coffee table with a fridge, but the Sobro app functionally does not work and will not connect your devices so you can’t customize light colours, motion sensors, anything on/off, etc so basically 80% of what makes the bedside tables themselves useful. it’s definitely a first world problem but not having the motion sensor light sucks, it knows how to turn on to flash for bluetooth but the motion sensor can’t be enabled due to the app not connecting any devices. it’s literally just a bedside table mini fridge with no other functionality and i know if the app was working it would work. if you’re hoping for a luxury product i don’t think you’ll find that with Sobro, despite the products looking cool. i hope they eventually release a fix for this, but i wont hold my breath on it. your device may connect at first after initial purchase, but it will eventually it will disconnect and then will not work anymore. with my 3 devices, the lifespan for the connectivity is about 6-12 months in my own experience. just something to be aware of if you are considering a Sobro purchase!

Good Concept Bad Exectution
I was given one of their smart tables as a gift, $800 plus tax gift. Seemed very cool. The “fridge” doesn’t cool, yes if you read into it, the table doesn’t technically have a real fridge and it is more of a Thermo type where it is supposed to cool to up to 21°. It says lower than the room temperature, however, I tested this, and it is not the case at all and their fan on it didn’t even work at all. I also had issues getting either one of the USB-C ports to work just to charge a simple, single iPhone and I tried five different cables on both ports. The app is horrible, so I would say at least a dozen attempts to get it to connect at all and then once it connected, it just kept disconnecting over. I attempted to talk to their Support folks many times and you cannot get a hold of these people and even the one time I got a single response back from anyone their response made zero sense and did not help at all. They do not stand behind their products. Again cool thought but bad product design and quality. I returned to the table.

Fridge cannot connect to internet
I want to turn off the fridge but cannot because it cannot connect to the app
An update that never comes…
At the end of November 2025 our Sobro side tables disconnected from our network, and refused to reconnect. When I contacted Sobro, they informed me that their servers had an issue, and that their Dev team would need to update the app, and indicated it might take 6-8 weeks. A follow up with them indicated that the app would be updated by the end of December 2025. A simple google search does not return anyone else having this issue.
Why do the tables need to connect to the Sobro server? The tables have a refrigerator, a light, and a speaker. Do these actually need to connect to a Sobro server, or have an app that hasn’t been updated in 2 years?
