Thought it couldn’t get worse

The old app was terrible but at least it generally worked. New app lost all my settings and devices. Basically bricked my whole system. Embarrassing app for Shade Store but from the reviews it’s pretty clear they don’t care.

Hard to work app

The shades are FABULOUS! The App is very difficult to work. Even the installers have had trouble helping me get timers set

The app doesn’t befit the brand

The app and firmware are extremely buggy. I’ve had to do a soft reset on the firmware 5 times in 2 months. Even the installers gave up trying to setup the hub! Thankfully I’m a software engineer and I was able to figure it out the next day.

This feels unacceptable after spending $8,000 on the shades + smart home hub. The app itself feels like a high school project.

The app lost all saved blinds after unplugging the hub

I added the blinds into the shade store app and connected it with google home. The hub was unplugged and now i notice in the app all the blinds and rooms i added have been erased. What a waste of time.

HomeKit working in iOS 26 with bridge pro

New bridge with matter support solves the problems with the old bridge. Everything is working now for the most part. Thanks for improving things over time.
