### 2/5 — Battery and battery icon

*2026-04-24*

The battery needed to be re-set several times over the ski season. Spent more days with cold feet than I should have. The battery icon is useless and awful. I’ve done everything possible, including talking to support which takes 3-5 days to respond, yet still the battery remains a gray icon with white inside, whether fully charged or completely empty. SMH. I miss my Hotronics.

### 2/5 — Batterie

*2025-04-17, version 1.4.4*

Application Bluetooth se Connecte pas bien  et on ne peux pas voir la charge de la batterie sur l’application comme j’ai déja eu avec LENZ . Déçu de mon achat

### 4/5 — Needs Shortcuts

*2025-01-27*

The app works fine for controlling boot heaters but it would be awesome if it had some shortcuts. I wear bluetooth headphones in my helmet and it would be amazing to be able to ask Siri to set the heat to a level or pause heating without taking the phone out of my pocket.

### 3/5 — First year, so far so good

*2025-01-26*

I've only used the toe warmer twice so far and could definitely notice a difference. I just wish the app showed battery levels, there's no way to determine what percentage of battery you have left.

### 3/5 — The displayed battery level is unclear

*2025-01-25*

It isn’t clear how much battery is remaining. It’s light gray with rectangles. To be frank, it doesn’t make much sense if I have 1/3 left or 2/3.

### 1/5 — Zero stars would be best

*2023-02-07, version 1.4.2*

Aside from this regularly disconnecting, I had to uninstall and reinstall these multiple times for the Bluetooth to recognize the signal.  Great idea, doesn’t work.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2022-12-16, version 1.4.1*

The therm-ic socks are decent, the app is rubbish. I’d like to see more battery information, a better percentage for the battery level and a prediction of runtime based on current temperature settings.

I’d expect more for the money to be Honest, these aren’t cheap socks.

### 1/5 — App no actualizada para nuevos iPhones

*2022-11-04*

La aplicación no está optimizada a los nuevos iPhones 14 Pro ni 14 Pro Max y es imposible por ejemplo volver al menú principal desde la pantalla de actualización firmware del producto. Por favor, actualizar la APP, hace 1 año que no sacáis ninguna actualización!! Gracias

### 1/5 — Privacy invade!

*2022-01-31, version 1.4.1*

Give your information or it wont function!
I think it breaks eu privacy laws
I am complain and asking for 10 percent of global revenues fine. Happy payment thermic

### 1/5 — Why is there no update of this app: BAD!!!

*2022-01-23*

I am now in year 2 with this very disappointing heater system. It absolutely never works properly. At the beginning of the day it can start burning my feet. I turn it down and it quits heating. I reset it and maybe it works for a run. Maybe. Bought with Surefoot that I think should refund the cost of the battery’s  and discontinue being this reflects very badly on their boots.

### 1/5 — Total waste of money

*2022-01-04, version 1.4.1*

Does not work at all.  Total failure.  

Do not waste your money.

### 2/5 — Unable to update firmware

*2021-05-22, version 1.4.1*

Would like to install the latest firmware on my C-PACK’s (from 12.55 to 12.57).  iPhone version of software hangs with progress icon spinning; Android version returns OTA_RESULT_FW_VERIFY_ERROR.  Hardware serial is B1905F0.

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2021-02-24*

I love the socks but the app is pretty bad. Pause button doesn't keep it paused, it will resume within minutes despite the phone being locked with no other interactions. 

Sometimes top left buttons overlap iOS back button on iPhone 8+ top left notch.

Reviews have been bad for years, so it doesn't look like the company plans to address any of the apps issues.

### 1/5 — Heated socks

*2026-02-09, version 1.4.5*

Horrible

### 1/5 — Great socks, horrible app

*2025-12-27*

I think this app has worked once for me over 20+ days of skiing. I’ve deleted it and reinstalled it a few times, and tried multiple other fixes with no luck. The socks themselves are great and work well with manual operation of the batteries, but if someone has a special tip on getting the app to work please post it here.

### 1/5 — This app is WORTHLESS!

*2025-02-16, version 1.4.4*

This app doesn’t work at all. There are absolutely no instructions on how to connect the device to the app and it won’t find the device on its own despite being powered on.

### 1/5 — Does not work with Apple Watch

*2025-01-16, version 1.4.4*

As stated in other reviews, the Apple Watch app is non-functional. It cannot open any controls or do anything. Anywhere Thermic claim Apple Watch compatibility is a lie. Which is shame because the heaters are otherwise great and the phone app works perfectly.

### 1/5 — Why haven’t you fixed these yet?

*2025-01-11, version 1.4.4*

Won’t connect to Bluetooth. These are not user friendly. I see you haven’t changed a thing in several years via the reviews.

### 1/5 — Great idea if it worked consistently

*2024-12-27, version 1.4.4*

Great when it works. But frequently disconnects and doesn’t recognize boots. In this era, very subpar quality

### 1/5 — Kopplung funktioniert nicht

*2024-12-18, version 1.4.4*

Katastrophale Funktionalität. Immer wieder geht die BT Kopplung verloren und die beiden Akkupacks werden nicht mehr gefunden! Finger weg von diesem überteuerten schlechten Produkt!

### 1/5 — Bad app, untrustworthy

*2024-03-25, version 1.4.4*

The app shows the units as heating even when the battery is disconnected. Can’t trust this or the battery level.
For the price of the inserts, it is unconscionable that the app is so bad. Embarrassing.

### 1/5 — Useless!

*2024-03-13, version 1.4.4*

Bought the socks and accompanying batteries. Tried for hours to get the batteries to connect to the app; will not work!

### 1/5 — Annoying app

*2023-03-12, version 1.4.2*

It works fine. But once I pack my ski boots up for 3-4 weeks I have to delete the app. Re download it & set it up again. It just won’t work after a period of time. . After I re downloaded It took me less that 2 minutes today to set it up but it’s annoying. And again at least 4 times since I wrote this review.

### 5/5 — Battery Status

*2026-03-25*

The battery icon needs to be bigger and easier to see instead of grey on a white background and a percentage scale would be more intuitive in determining 50% level for long term storage.

### 5/5 — Sehr gutes Produkt

*2022-12-08, version 1.4.1*

Sehr gutes Produkt

### 5/5 — Great app and heated products

*2021-12-19*

I’m surprised by the ratings and other review; my experience with Therm-ic heated clothing (and this app) has been excellent.

I use the heated vest and heated socks. Bluetooth control works well and has been consistent for me. The Apple Watch app makes it easy to adjust temperature from the ski lift without having to get my phone out. 

I prefer to have full control over my heat settings so I don’t use the eco or motion control modes, but they seemed to work as advertised when I tested them.

Be sure to upgrade your battery packs to the latest firmware if they come with an old version. And if your ski group is waiting for you to get out the door, whatever you do, don’t tell them “I’ll be ready soon I just need to upgrade the firmware in my socks.” :)

### 5/5 — Warm

*2020-12-28, version 1.4.0*

Really warm

### 5/5 — Easy to use.  Worked pretty well.

*2020-01-07*

Update:  contacted customer support.  Responded quickly.  Had to do a hard reset of the batteries.  That resolved the issue for me. Working again as it did before the update.  

Worked great all last year.  Latest update a few weeks ago broke it.  Won’t reconnect to units after you turn them off and back on unless you delete them from the app and re add them again.  Basically the blue tooth function with the app is effectively now broken.  Disappointed.  Now having to use them manually like the non Bluetooth version.

### 5/5 — Des très bons vêtements

*2018-10-28*

Vêtement ajusté, belle coupe et bien fini. Très agréable de bénéficier du dispositif chauffant !

### 4/5 — Much better than heated socks with all their wires

*2026-02-21*

The heated insoles are great. Note to developer: a delay function would be really helpful. If i turn them on before i leave my feet sweat before i get to the lift. If i want to turn them on later i have the issues of cold hands and risking getting the phone out on the chair lift. If i could set the levels then set them to come on after 15 or 30 mins it would be perfect.

### 4/5 — Bon produit mais manque de précision

*2026-02-08, version 1.4.5*

idéalement ça prendrait un pourcentage de la batterie et non juste pas trois lignes 

Très difficile de savoir si je dois recharger mes batteries lorsqu'il reste deux lignes est-ce qu'elle est à la fin de la deux lignes ? 
Alors on se retrouve à charger trop souvent la batterie peut-être

Ou encore ne pas la charger et se retrouver plus de batterie à la fin d'avant-midi

### 4/5 — Works pretty well

*2026-01-17*

Works well for controlling my boots but would love if the battery indicator was more clear. Hard to tell if they are empty or full. The white/grey is not clear…

### 4/5 — Need Siri

*2025-03-05*

I've been using this app for several years and it works just fine with these great boot heaters. I would love to see you integrate Siri so that I could either set up a routine or speak to the app such as "Siri set thermal heaters to six"
