### 1/5 — Very unreliable

*2024-11-08, version 1.7.4*

Difficult to setup and works intermittently. Terrible product.

### 3/5 — Very Limited Scheduling Options

*2024-11-03*

It seems like a no-brainer for an app that controls shades to adjust seasonally as the sun moves higher or lower in the sky. But the app doesn’t do that. It doesn’t even adjust when the time changes.

### 2/5 — Open/Closed

*2024-11-02, version 1.7.4*

You can not tell if the blinds are open or closed from the ap.  You should be able to open them partially and see the results on the ap.

### 5/5 — About time

*2024-10-27*

Second Sunsetter. While having the first I had some wishlist for if I ever get a new one. 
Larger, smarter with a scrolling front sunshade, back plate to shade the gap of roller and roof.  10 year warranty. I can control the awning and lights with my phone.

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage

*2024-10-24*

I am unable to give zero stars. The app actually deserves less.  I have spent more time staring at an updating spinner screen than use the app since I’ve had it. There is no way to circumvent it because the app goes into automatic update mode, even though I never said it. And when I do get out of the updating spinner controls on the app for my rollers, don’t ever work they show their own spinners.  Moreover, there won’t be solution I have for this on the company troubleshooting page to reinstall the app which I’ve done about 20 times and I only had these rulers for three days. Please do something about this piece of crap.

### 1/5 — Just not good

*2024-10-22*

My blinds were pretty much working fine for a while. Aside from a glitch here and there, everything seemed to be ok. Now the app is completely useless. The blinds for no reason just stopped running the scheduled routine. I reset my TaHoma hub. App still doesn’t respond. All of my remotes control the respective blinds but I need control of scheduled routines and to control the blinds when I’m away.  I’ve tried re-pairing the app with the remotes and nothing. Customer service just sends you to a page where you have to try to find an arbitrary topic. Somfy needs to streamline the setup and operation processes, check out competitors in the space, and upgrade to 2024 standards.

### 1/5 — Negative feedback

*2024-09-29, version 1.7.4*

I'm in the software business and this is one of the worst software tools I've ever seen. It constantly updates and takes a ton of time. There seems to be multiple versions out there. It's flaky and doesn't save changes. I'm shocked at how companies like Sonos can do things so much better and no one has disrupted this industry.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2024-09-29, version 1.7.4*

I will never use somfy again. App forces me to log in EVERY TIME I OPEN IT and freezes 50% of the time so I have to force close and reopen. I can’t wait 1 min every time I want to open/close my shades. This company needs to hire some real engineers. DO NOT go with somfy/tahoma.

### 2/5 — Would be nice if it’s kept up

*2024-09-28, version 1.7.4*

With amount of money spent on the blinds with somfy motors, the app is very buggy. Constantly freezing when opening app. Also, consider adding HomeKit/homebridge support

### 1/5 — Poor poor performance

*2024-09-23*

This app has the potential to be a great product for home integration. Unfortunately it makes me wish the home I am renting had some other platform besides TaHoma. When I build, this product will not be in my house.  The app never stays signed in. It tries to update and never finishes; forcing me to quit and restart every time.  The controls are not easy to understand and half the time clicks don’t even work.  I have tried multiple times to set blinds to open halfway and it never works.  Overall, the app needs to be rebuilt.
