Worst company

I will never buy a switchbot product again. Nothing but errors and bad support for the S10.

The worst smart device system

The app is completely useless. Bloated unintuitive and the offered options don't work. The customer support is completely based on AI and tone-deaf to requests

app sucks

can’t use because my wifi is too good, never had this problem with any other bluetooth device

Buyer beware! Trying to shove AI down your throat!

I like the sensors but the app sucks and they're trying to shove AI down your throat. I'll be switching to home assistant, and doubt I'll buy another one of their products.

Hurray for AI slop

Zero stars for the pointless AI I can’t get rid of

Unfinished

The switchbot hub 2 device is great but this app is simply unfinished. Widgets don’t work - I can’t select which device for the temp and humidity meter widget. And the stupid AI thing needs to be disabled. I could vibe code the rest of this app and they can’t even be bothered doing that. What am I paying for with these devices??

Can’t remove kata

I have KATA turned off in Module Display Settings but it’s still there on the home screen. Why on earth would you people think I need AI to turn my lamps off and on?

Ai slop made it to what use to be good app

Ai app fubar

Getting Rid of Kata

WTAF? I have no wish to have an “AI Assistant” in the form of a puerile comic avatar taking up 20% of my homepage, but there’s no option to get rid of it. This is a stupid and intrusive update which markedly reduces the app’s usability

Unwanted AI feature

Get rid of this Kata garbage. No one is asking for AI integration.

Getting worse and worse

I used to tolerate this app, and I’ve used it together with many sensors to monitor and track sensitive environmental data for sample storage, but I do not want a cloud, do not need their BS Ai assistant (like, why?!!), and just need basic, privacy focused solutions for environmental monitoring. The addition of AI was the last straw. I’ve just ordered all new sensors from a different vendor and will be dropping these ones in the trash as soon as they arrive, and deleting the app.

** Found where to turn it off ** PLEASE provide an option to turn of Kara AI assistant

Allow us to get that stupid Kara icon off the Home Screen. It gets in the way!!!

don't update!

The latest version ads an idiotic AI assistant taking up 1/3 of the home screen. there is no obvious way to turn it off.

Turn OFF AI assistant

You just made the app worse. With a stupid AI floating chat bot that you can’t disable. Terrible UX. What idiot thought this was a great idea?

Easy to use

I bought two curtain 3 for my bedroom and I loved them so much I brought 4 more for my living room. Super easy setup. Quick sync with Alexa. Exceeded my expectations.

Faulty

Stopped working 11th July 2026 after 2 years , connected to wifi but not showing in app ( hub mini) sent request for assistance email & no reply

Stopped working

Doesn’t work after 1 month.

Pesters you about AI features

I have a very specific notification setup for my SwitchBot devices, with promotional notifications turned OFF. Yet the app is still pestering me every couple of weeks about some new AI nonsense feature.

Croping doesn’t work on ai frame

Can’t even use ai frame because it would load a whole image. My head is cut off in every image I upload

Great auto finger. Buggy, not user friendly app. Unreliable BT and WiFi connections

Great auto finger. Buggy, not user friendly app. Unreliable BT and WiFi connections.

UNBELIEVABLY IRRITATING grade school bugs.

Never ending randomly appearing back to back bugs for years now rendering app and devices useless: Automations stopped working; Incorrect temperature readings; buggy 3rd party integrations; keeps logging me out; most rep help is incompetent.
**YES: delete/re-ad didn’t solve; every type device software/firmware is confirmed updated.

*KEEPS TRYING TO STORE DATA LOCALLY, despite numerous times selecting CLOUD
