### 1/5 — winix smart crAPP

*2026-08-24, version 1.5.10*

Who are the idiots who developed this app.? The device is utterly unstable as well as the app. A bunch of uneducated, inexperienced people developed this app indeed. Even with updates the app and the hardware is indeed NOT reliable. You need to manually re-connect the device to wifi each time even without plugging it off from the outlet to use the app. What a pathetic device and app..!! Too hilarious

### 3/5 — Penticton, BC

*2026-08-21, version 1.5.10*

Liking the app but please add Penticton to the list of locations.  We have to select Kelowna and the air quality is very different between the two.

### 3/5 — Penticton BC

*2026-08-19, version 1.5.10*

You need to add Penticton to the list of locations.

### 1/5 — Winix Smart Review

*2026-08-16, version 1.5.10*

I really want to like this product but it keeps getting disconnected from the WiFi and can’t find it requiring it to be reconnected. I own two and they both have the same issue. So if you are fine with a dumb air filter this does the job but for its app features it really leaves much to be desired.

### 5/5 — Small, but quiet and powerful.

*2026-08-12, version 1.5.10*

I ordered two of these units because they were voted as the best air purifiers out of a group of 20 on YouTube. So I bought two of them. One for my bedroom, and one for the rest of the house. Not only do they move a ton of air, they do it quietly and offer legitimate HEPA air purification. They have done an amazing job of keeping the smoke out of the house from the fires in the Western United States and Canada. I highly recommend these devices, as well as this app that is so simple to use. It isn’t even funny. It tells you the outside air quality, and if there’s any issues with the air quality inside the house, you were immediately notified so you can increase your fan speed. Absolutely love it, you will too.

### 2/5 — fails to do the main job

*2026-08-09, version 1.5.10*

The primary purpose of this app is to connect to and control the air purifier. However, each time you open the app, you are required to accept marketing ads and consent to the use of your data for marketing purposes. Additionally, the device frequentlyDisconnects, forcing you to go through a time-consuming and frustrating reconnection process due to repeated failures.

### 3/5 — Update

*2026-08-09, version 1.5.10*

Is working normal also clients expect more options in the app

### 2/5 — Google Home connection throws error

*2026-08-07, version 1.5.10*

Every time. Same on Android so this is almost certainly a technical issue on Winix's side. PLEASE FIX.

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2026-08-06, version 1.5.10*

App update required me to register and removed all my settings. This is not what I bought and I am not happy about it.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2026-08-04, version 1.5.10*

Ineffective; can’t even connect to wifi. Want to control your air purifier with the app or set schedules? Forget about it, it won’t work. Lag ridden, zero connectivity stability, just utterly useless.
