### 1/5 — The worst app

*2026-08-23*

I bought an E‑Scooter 9. It says the maximum speed is 35 km/h (but it needs to be unlocked), yet it comes from the factory set with a maximum speed of only 25 km/h. I contacted customer service and they told me I could unlock it through the app, and that I needed to make sure I had the latest version, which I already updated, and still the option to increase the speed does not appear for my E‑Scooter.
I bought it specifically because it said it could reach that speed; otherwise I wouldn’t have purchased it. I don’t know if this is misleading advertising…

### 2/5 — Cat box

*2026-08-23, version 7.10.3*

This doesn’t tell me anything about my smart litter boxes cat box. Other than the bin is full every 5 mins so it won’t run. Then the fresh part of the box doesn’t work says I’m missing a piece. No customer service. Useless!

### 1/5 — Tuya app sucks

*2026-08-18, version 7.10.3*

This app sucks. They just want you to buy the upgrade. I’ve used it for several years but I’m throwing out perfectly good smart bulbs and will never again buy anything using the Tuya app.

### 5/5 — Atualizaçao

*2026-08-18*

Para atualizar o sistema abra a porta . Coloque em atualizaçao pedirá confirmaçao na fechadura e so confirmar e aguardar atualizar!

### 4/5 — Needs Notification Customization

*2026-08-17, version 7.10.3*

The app is great, but I use it for my cats’ litter box and I don’t need to know every single time one of them gets in it, it just floods my phone with unnecessary notifs. Please make it to where I can turn that off so I can focus on when the litter box needs cleaned or gets stuck!

### 2/5 — Useless AI

*2026-08-17, version 7.10.3*

Used to be good now AI features are spoiling it

### 1/5 — Appalling response

*2026-08-16, version 7.10.1*

Tuya deny any responsibility for the app when contacted through the service email. They say contact the developer/maker of the device you’ve purchased when there are lots of makers who depend on Tuya to operate the devices. Incredible, just unbelievable.
It also needs a ‘once only’ feature that times an event to happen once so that you don’t have to cancel it later.

### 1/5 — They ruined the app

*2026-08-15, version 7.10.1*

It worked great for my WiFi remote minisplit controllers until they updated the app and dropped support. I will never purchase another tuya product. The remotes were only 2 years old and now they are unsupported. I’ll spend a little more and find something more reliable on a more reliable system.

### 1/5 — Use to be ok now its junk, going back to standard lightbulbs because of this app

*2026-08-14, version 7.10.1*

This app has bececome so tedious, its garbage .  Interface is like a pile of rubish and with every update there is more clutter. And now Ai that can’t be removed.

Just because you can add something doesn’t mean you should add it. Coders of this app are probably thinking what else they can pile on to the interface instead of creating clean desing to make simple operations easy.

### 1/5 — Paywalls

*2026-08-14, version 7.10.1*

The app won’t send you a notification that your litter box is full unless you pay a subscription fee.
