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.

Absolutely useless application. It keeps disconnecting the fan
Just awful
Before the latest version the app was slow and non-intuitive. Since the upgrade the App is much slower less intuitive and you have to go through so many actions just to turn on a boost. I have left the boost setting on 10 as the alternatives don’t even make sense.
The fan itself though is very good even though expensive, the App would be better and more logical if written by a 6 year old.

New app a step backwards
The new V7 is visually swish but much harder to use. On my fan I can no longer set a default time for overrides and it is not clear how to automatically boost on high humidity.
Big step backwards.
Designer maxim: “form follows function”
