It will only let me select side A. Not both, or B. This is just happening all of a sudden. Also, why does the app force you use the actual controller attached to the blanket after a while to change temp versus let you do what you want with the app? Unnecessary and not user friendly at all to force this. Annoying actually. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-01-27, version 1.0.5* Completely garbage ### 2/5 — Thoughtless Design *2025-01-26* Why the heck doesn’t this app have dark mode? It’s the middle of the night and I try to adjust my bed, only to be blinded by this BRIGHT WHITE COLOR SCHEME. Also, when turning on the timer (ie having the heated bed turn off after a certain period of time), why the heck does it default to 24 hours and make me scroll through 21 options to get to what I would think is the most common setting of 30 minutes? Please put some more thought into your UI design. ### 1/5 — Quality not worth price *2025-01-22, version 1.0.5* My blanket died. It still heats a little, but that’s on high.all in all this blanket has been a disappointment. I didn’t mind to pay the extra money so I could control it on the app, but there’s no point of an app if you still have to go and push the button on the main controller after four hours, thank God, I had an extra Heating blanket in my cupboard. ### 2/5 — Schedule is still flaky *2024-12-31* We’ve had the blanket for a year now and although the app has always worked fine for remote control, its scheduling feature has always been flaky; trying to get different levels on the two different sides of the blanket often didn’t work, and now the schedule simply won’t update at all - no matter what the app shows, the blanket controls still use the old schedule that I thought I’d changed (but other remote control features in the app still work fine). ### 1/5 — was ok *2024-12-17, version 1.0.5* we have had this blanket for three years and the app used to work great. The last year the app has been terrible and the schedule gets messed up and I can’t switch to just one side. it will turn both sides on at the same time. ### 1/5 — We only need to see your “Press ✅” warning once *2024-11-12* The mattress pad is 5/5, but the app design is infuriating. It gives you a warning that, if you set it higher than 5/10 heat setting you have to press a physical button to make it stay on after an hour. Totally reasonable, could be a fire hazard otherwise. But it gives you the same warning, and makes you click “OK” EVERY TIME. I own the mattress pad, I’ve turned it on with my phone dozens of times, I know what the warning says. There should be some way to dismiss it permanently. Update: Downgrading to 1 star because the app has stopped updating without force killing and restarting it. The mattress pad itself is still great but the app is trash. ### 1/5 — No instructions *2024-09-03, version 1.0.5* No idea how to connect up app. Why no QR code? ### 1/5 — Does not work well *2024-05-15, version 1.0.5* We have a queen bed so two sides to control. My husband has the physical control and I use the app. Well I try to use the app. The touch control rarely works. If it’s on side A I can’t switch to side B. Tap tap tap, won’t switch. The app needs work. ### 1/5 — Do not recommend *2024-02-26, version 1.0.5* Really slow and doesnt work to operate my unit. Very frustrating. Try another brand. ## Frequently asked questions about Sunbeam Bedding ### What does the Sunbeam Bedding app do? The Sunbeam Bedding app allows you to remotely control your compatible heated bedding.
