Timer shuts off

I used this for a year and it worked fine, but recently the timer shuts itself off periodically. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled, reset the switch, changed batteries to no avail. Can’t trust it’ll work anymore.

Super buggy

I've only had the app & smart outlet for a couple days, the app isn't very responsive and the wifi connectivity is basically nonexistent. I wish it would pop up networks to use rather than type in the network and password, I had to go back to just a regular outlet

No problems so far!

I’ve been using the Switchmate app for years and it has been great! The switches and plugs have both worked great as well as the schedules. (I’ve never used the “come home” feature or voice control.)
Recently I couldn’t change the name of one of the plugs. So I ended up deleting the app and reinstalling it. I was able to add the plug back with the correct appliance names without issue. Hopefully the rest of the plugs and switches will add back as easily.

Never downloaded this app!!!!????

Why is this app in my phones history of downloaded apps!?!? I’ve never downloaded it before and neither has my husband or son on our family sharing account!!! Where do apps like these come from and how are they showing up as having been previously downloaded before when they never were by us!?!?

good but

app and device works as intended. sometimes a little glitchy but I’m sure a software update would suffice. I do hope they would allow the app to work with Siri Shortcuts in the future, like most other smart home apps.
