Good product, poor app.
Connected to wifi and successfully set the schedule. The next morning the app says it cannot connect to wifi but my router shows the device is still connected.
Useless
Idea is great however product and app are useless. App fails to connect to wifi. Most times Can’t ever find my wifi when trying to reconnect and when I finally get it to connect to wifi it can’t find the volt safe devise. You need to be connected to both wifi and Bluetooth to use the app with the devise
Canada is a cold climate and need to override a schedule at anytime. I would suggest making the product work on either Bluetooth or wifi not needing both

It's come a long way!
The App functionality has gone a long way since it's release. Looks like the developers have been listening to the feedback submitted by customers on the feature request page! Nice work :)
Not bad, great product, almost 😊
So so app, product is great, easy to install, The APP however just wont stay connected, always having to reconnect. Otherwise great product
Unable to connect to Wifi
Bought the plug at Canadian Tire hoping for good results. I did everything the app asked me to do and when it came to connect to my Wifi 6 router nothing. I even changed the settings for the 2.4 GHz signal to WPA 2 password only, switched it to legacy N only but still it won’t connect. If you have wifi router that is not Wifi 6 compatible but older an older style router than I think you should be ok. I will be returning the plug.

Great product!
Bought a few of the Voltsafe Winter plugs. Worked awesome. Make sure your phone is connected to 2.4 wifi before connecting app. Once gone can go back to 5g. Fabulous and fast support. Got an old inventory unit that would not connect. Within a day had response from support and we did a special update to bring it to current firmware. As good as new.
Thanks Manni. Nice to see a Canadian company with such good quality and support. Manitoba client

Impossible de se connecter au Wifi 2.4
J’utilisais la fiche magnétique avec une prise intelligente mais depuis 2 semaine la fiche magnétique ne passe plus le courant donc j’ai essayé l’app et rien à faire, impossible de me brancher au wifi 2.4, l’opération échoue à tout les fois… j’ai donc une fiche magnétique inutile…
Functionality is great!
Although it is unfortunate that they took out bluetooth scheduling, you can still get around this by hot spotting with your phone. There are a few areas of improvement in terms of fonts on different screen sizes but it’s getting closer and closer to a polished product. Keep it going!
New updates are great!
The on/off switch is awesome - and very easy to set a recurring schedule (which is a much appreciated feature). Good job guys!
App update not working
I have a dedicated 2.4HGz network, my phone links to Bluetooth as soon as I open the VoltSafe app and the app says still cannot connect. Not impressed. $100+ block heater cord that is no longer functional.
Wish the app had features like, if this isn’t connecting try looking for these things. Or a help link, or a video. Any type of troubleshooting support. And maybe the new volt safe connectors should get the 5ghz chip installed. I can’t think of any routers that any household has that are specifically not 2.4 and 5 ghz mesh. I’m fortunate enough I have commercial grade network that I can have multiple networks including a 2.4hgz network for iot devices.
I loved my VoltSafe not so happy right now. I’ll change my review if they fix this or help me out to get this working.

Hardware unreliable
The voltsafe device doesn't work a lot of the time when connected. The app says it found it and sent a schedule but the plug doesn't flow power at the set time. Or the app can't find it until it's unplugged for a moment and plugged back in. It's flaky.
Also, every time power is lost all programming is gone. Sure, that's clearly stated in the app. But I think the device should default to flowing power when it is reconnected so if there's a power failure overnight you wake up to a car that's been warming too long rather than not at all.
A magnetically activated plug was brilliant but it should have stopped there. Adding a Bluetooth app controlled timer that doesn't work ruined the product. If it acted like a basic cord and flowed power whenever the magnetic head was connected you could use any other timer or wifi controlled outlet instead.

Beta product
App doesn’t allow manual on/off. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Schedule doesn’t allow exclusion of Sat & Sun. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Rubber cap on hardware doesn’t stay shut, leaving the electrical contacts open to the elements & road salt. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Making Winters Easier!
Great start on the app and the company has many value-add updates/features coming this Winter. Magnetic strength has also been optimized for this Winter.
VERY basic
App only allows to set an on time. Does not allow a timer as the website states. Can not set an off time and you can not manually turn device on and off. With over four years of research and development this is device and app should not have been released. I have returned my product.
Also when I did have this device hooked up. Upon closing the car door the plug disconnected.

Bare bones app ... lacks info
App only allows you to set (what I assume) is a single turn on time. Does not indicate how long it will stay on, does not allow you to set a shut off time let alone other times that would fit the “schedule” description. No where on the app / web page or instructions that come with the VoltSafe plug is there any further info on the “schedule” ... disappointed there is minimal function and information.

Scheduling
Need to be able to schedule different on/off’s and
be able to schedule each day of the week.
be able to schedule each day of the week.
I love my VoltSafe plug!
I was so happy to get mine in the mail! The app works smoothly to set a schedule for the VoltSafe to turn on 💯
