This means you have to be close to a blind to open or close it. So if you’re out of the house and you realise you’ve forgotten to close a blind, you can’t operate the blinds remotely. Also, the blinds are so slow to respond to the app that Siri and shortcut automation fail. It would be genuinely useful to be able to say “Siri, open all the blinds”, and while the app lets you set up this shortcut, it always fails because the command times out before the blinds move. You can buy a physical remote control to operate up to 14 blinds, instead of using the app. IMCO this should be included with every blind. ### 2/5 — Sun based timers nonexistent *2026-07-26* Despite showing a screenshot in the app description of this functionality, there are no controls to set blinds to “10 min before sunset” or “10 min after sunrise”. This is a major PITA to update up/down times almost everyday. ### 3/5 — Mostly fine *2026-07-21, version 2.7.0* Most functionality is fine, but the timer setting IS NOT formatted for iPhones. You can’t see all the days of the week to select for the timer, and there is no way to scroll. ### 3/5 — Good but complicated to install remote *2026-07-12, version 2.7.0* I’ve had these blinds with the remote control for just over a year and I’m only just getting the hang out of how to set timers and scenes. It’s really difficult and frustrating to pair the remote control with the blinds through the app for this reason I’ve only given it three stars. ### 4/5 — Smart view is good but *2026-07-09, version 2.7.0* The new blinds are slow to react compared with older models Please add a button that says the blind is in manual mode or automatic mode so you can stop the daily routine without deleting it Please add a time which is sunrise/sunset + or - 5 hours that will change throughout the year ### 2/5 — Format is so bad *2026-07-03, version 2.6.0* The format is so bad that I can’t view Saturday and Sunday on the screen when setting timers, so they have to be the same as weekdays which is very annoying ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-06-25, version 2.6.0* It needs a sunset and sunrise setting ### 5/5 — Very well thought out *2026-06-21* It was super easy to use and operate - love how intuitive and responsive it is. One thing that they should add is a seasonal calendar so that we can have controls that change with the seasons. ### 5/5 — Option to disable Scenes? *2026-06-20, version 2.6.0* Great working fully app with lots of functions but it would really good if it included an option to disable scenes. For example, if someone (or my dog!) is sleeping in, instead of usual blackout rollers to rise, they’d remain closed. ### 4/5 — Not bad at all *2026-06-14, version 2.6.0* Excellent functionality with a couple of caveats. Firstly, I haven’t figured out how to connect to my Smart Home setup (Alexa), or indeed to use shortcuts. Secondly, triggering a scene from my phone doesn’t always work first time - I have to stop the action, and then ‘hold to resume’ and it’s fine. Not sure why this happens…. ### 5/5 — Easy life, if remember where the charger is *2026-06-13, version 2.6.0* I find them easy to adjust with the app, the hardest thing about the blinds is remembering where I put the charger! As the batteries last for a good couple of months. ### 4/5 — Great *2026-06-11, version 2.6.0* Better if worked at a distance and with Alexa ### 5/5 — Works *2026-06-11, version 2.6.0* Works ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-08-11, version 2.7.0* The app randomly logs me out. Then I cannot get back in again. It just freezes. Electric blinds should make like easier not more difficult!!! ### 1/5 — One of the worst Apps out there *2026-08-09, version 2.7.0* The purpose of this app is to simply put your blinds up & down. Once it finishes ‘loading’ it claims it can’t connect to the blinds 70% of the time. Sometimes it only raises one of our two blinds and often we have to leave the house with the blinds still down as the app claims not to work. It’s utterly useless and I wish there was an alternative out there which actually worked. ### 1/5 — App faults *2026-08-03, version 2.7.0* Good when the app works, but struggle to log in at times and pest as can’t open my blinds. ### 1/5 — Timer keeps malfunctioning *2026-07-12, version 2.7.0* Blinds keep raising and falling at the wrong time. Including middle of the night and waking us up. ### 1/5 — Awful! *2026-06-29* Now my blinds don’t work one side is way too high and the other side is stepping down, literally a millimeter at a time. I am so mad at this moment with the purchase of these blinds from select blinds as well as the stupid app! ### 1/5 — App broken *2026-05-29, version 2.6.0* Doesn’t work at all - takes to support - no help. ### 1/5 — Broken after update *2026-05-25, version 2.6.0* Used to work well. Now unable to even sign in after a recent update. So app now totally unusable ### 1/5 — Electric blinds *2026-05-19, version 2.5.0* So complicated to use and get working ### 1/5 — Poor usability *2026-05-12, version 2.5.0* App is really complicated. It took me a while to figure out how to add a blind and create a scene. It’s not obvious and requires constant referral to the instructions. Now that I’ve added 2 blinds to a scene, it worked for a while but now doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Bad design, static controls *2026-04-08* The design is hard to understand and I can’t base timers off dynamic variables (like open the shades 30 min before sunrise). ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Set up *2026-08-24* Two blinds are now set the same 👍 ### 5/5 — Great blinds *2026-08-17, version 2.7.0* Excellent settings. Very easy to use. Endless opportunities to use the blinds and set different lighting throughout the day. ### 5/5 — Works Great *2026-08-10, version 2.7.0* Smart view controls the blind easy to use ### 5/5 — Great stuff *2026-08-07, version 2.7.0* I like it ### 5/5 — So modern, classy, and techy *2026-08-07, version 2.7.0* A simple design, with rechargeable battery motor, however the app makes it so great for a modern home. Mine opens 25% at 7am; 50% at 7.30am, and 100% at 8am. Great alarm clock 🤪 ### 5/5 — Easy as *2026-07-23, version 2.7.0* I found set up and creating automated scenes a piece of cake They forgot to tell you to press the button on the blind to start ### 5/5 — Blinds *2026-07-21, version 2.7.0* Awesome ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2026-07-04, version 2.7.0* It is easy to use and understand, great purchase would bye! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-06-26, version 2.6.0* Good stuff, easy to manage ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-26, version 2.6.0* Enjoy it - simple and easy to use --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
