Less features than before
I bought this fan few years back. Actually, the app was far better when I bought it than now. My smart fan is not really smart anymore due to very limited options given in the app after update. Disappointing.
Awful app since update
Controller disconnects every other day and trying to turn the fan on from the phone is impossible. Not good when it’s a heat wave and wanting some fresh air
What happened?
This app used to be good: easy to set up, easy to adjust, boost function worked; now it’s a three step process just to adjust the fan speed, with a clunky UI, and the boost doesn’t seem to work. Oh, and when setting up, it asks for the 8-digit PIN, which you can only view by unplugging the unit, and then times out before you could possibly put the unit back, necessitating you to write it down.
Was this vibe-coded by the CEO?

New app has fewer features and feels unfinished
I actually like the Vent-Axia unit itself, the hardware works well and I have two installed, both of which perform reliably in normal operation.
However, the updated app is a big step backwards. It now has fewer functions than the previous version, features such as Quiet Night Mode appear to have been removed, which is really disappointing. The new interface also doesn’t look as polished or refined as before. It honestly feels more like a beta development mock-up than a finished consumer app.
Another ongoing issue is after a power cut. When the power comes back on, the unit shows a red light and won’t function properly until you reconnect to it via Bluetooth to clear the fault. Both of my units do this, so it doesn’t seem to be a one-off issue. It’s frustrating to have to manually intervene every time there’s a brief outage.
The product itself is good, but the new app experience is poor and lets it down significantly. Please bring back the missing features and improve the stability and design of the app.

PIN code again
This app wasn’t too bad before, very limited range of adjustments but OK. However it now seems to be updated and you have to add the PIN that is on the body of the fan. I now have cupped this after the 3rd time i had to enter it in 3 months.
