Two important feature requests: improved support for Wemo wall dimmers, including brightness control, and a way to expose locally controlled Wemo devices to Google Home and/or Amazon Alexa. Many users still have good Wemo hardware installed and would gladly pay for a Pro feature or bridge option that restores voice assistant integration. ### 3/5 — More needed *2026-03-28* This app desperately needs scheduling implemented, which means programmed on/off times. Without it it is a very basic app. Timer alone it is not enough. Otherwise it works. ### 2/5 — Almost there *2026-03-22* Like most, I found myself locked out of the WEMO app. This app is good at detecting the devices. I was very disappointed however that the “timer” is more of an egg timer requiring manual setting every time. The WEMO app provided an auto-on auto-off function. This is the ONLY function I needed from the app & only used the app to adjust for Daylight Savings Time. Without this, this app is worthless to me. I resorted to setting up routines in Alexa to take care of it. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2026-03-16* There are only two things that this app cannot do. One is rules and the other is current draw. Some wemo games switches do show current draw. ### 2/5 — It is just a on off switch *2026-03-08, version 1.6.1* Its just a switch it does not have any other features ### 4/5 — Not a complete replacement *2026-03-04* This app very usefully restores some functionality to my Wemo switches: so that’s a very useful function. When the Belkin app ceased working in January one of my switches retained its programming and continues to switch on and off without my intervention. For this app to score 5 stars, I would like to see that ability - to program it in relation to sunrise and sunset etc made available. ### 3/5 — Rules support need *2025-10-10* I would give this app a 4 to 5 if I was able to create rules allowing the switch to activate at programmed times ### 3/5 — Works well as a local device switch. *2025-01-07* App works well. Devices need to be active on the WeMo app. Needs timer/ scheduling functionality. Don’t rush to cloud services. ### 5/5 — Number One This Top Best *2024-05-27* Because I Did Adding My Watch When I Forget To Tuen Off Fan A While I’m Away. I said “oh no I forget to turn off fan but my watch ? Perfect I look click list turn off”. Perfect to save my money from electric. Also, fountain water turn on for my bird outdoor (solar itself addy without electric my pay) perfect. That’s why this WSwitch List the best more than WeMo problem. ### 3/5 — Better than WEMO *2024-05-24, version 1.5* Spotty performance, but better than WEMO non-performance ### 4/5 — Like it *2024-05-13, version 1.5* Very well designed ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t spend your money *2026-06-12, version 1.6.2* The app don’t not work at all ..been trying for months and it doesn’t fine any switches or any wemo devices.no response from anyone ### 1/5 — Didn’t work at all *2026-03-22, version 1.6.2* I took a chance this might save my wemo devices, but it didn’t recognize any of them at all. Total waste of money. ### 1/5 — Does not work away from home. I wish I could get my $4 back *2026-03-04, version 1.6.1* Does not work when away from your house. Do not bug ### 1/5 — Not discovering my devices *2026-03-01, version 1.6.1* Keep getting Failed to get device meta info. The network connection was lost. Also I don’t see option on app to see home kit code ### 1/5 — It’s an on / off switch *2026-02-07, version 1.6.1* Left message for developer and didn’t even get response. Wanted to know if could keep a schedule for plugs since it’s a timer. Disappointed!! ### 1/5 — Schedule ability *2025-10-31, version 1.5* I did not realize it doesn't allow a schedule to be set per device. I don't want to be manually tuning in and off my lights each day!!!!! ### 1/5 — Useless App *2025-02-04* Why don’t you put timers on app ### 1/5 — Not as show *2025-01-02, version 1.5* I just purchased this app. Afternoon loading it look Nothing like the app page. It will only turn your Wemo devices off and on. Will not adjusting dimmers, Or allow you to add picture or change names on the devices? .It is pretty much useless. Don’t waste your money. Don’t get suckered. ### 1/5 — Not worth the aggravation. *2023-12-29, version 1.5* App fails twice as often as it works. I'm done fighting it. ### 1/5 — Widget no longer available with update *2023-09-29, version 1.4.5* The widget functionality is literally the only reason I paid for this app and with it gone it’s basically useless as the regular Wemo app is free and does the same thing. Please update and bring back the widget. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My WEMO’s still work! *2026-04-06, version 1.6.2* Thank you for this app ### 5/5 — Allowed me to re-add old wemo’s *2026-03-29* I was able to re-add old wemo’s by resetting them to factory settings. Connected to them via the unique Wemo WiFi name on my iPhone. Once connected, I was able to update the wifi and rename them. All the wemo’s I have are being used via a Wemo hub to expose them to HomeKit. All are working perfectly. With this app it allows me to add any Wemo to my existing HomeKit setup. No Wemo servers needed! ### 5/5 — The Only Viable Solution for WEMO *2026-02-28* This is thing is a lifesaver. It allows you to you to turn on/off all WEMO devices remotely now that WEMO is bricked. It seems to work better than the Home App which has always been buggy. The only shame is that you still can’t use other smart features like setting Away mode or adjusting timers on old devices. But at least they can work with on/off mode. The fact that Belkin has refused to support these devices is infuriating. ### 5/5 — Superb - Replacement for discontinued Wemo devices *2026-02-23* This app has superbly replaced the discontinued WeMo software that Belkin stopped in January 2026. Thanks to this, all of my smart plugs are no longer redundant and I can finally update WiFi settings again. This is actually the first app review I’ve ever left — well worth my time and intention. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Lifesaver for Wemo plugs *2026-02-14* This app saved my unused Wemo plugs from the trash! I used this app to find them and put them on my network. Only flaw I can find is there no way to rename them from “Wemo Mini”! Now I have 8 with the same name. Can we get an edit for name? ### 5/5 — Savior *2026-02-13, version 1.6.1* Since Wemo sucks! And decided to end their support of the app. This is saving all their customers who were screwed over! ### 5/5 — thank u! *2026-02-12* i hope you have thousands of new purchases after Wemo discontinued their service. it's their loss and thank you for a great replacement....if only it had the ability to set on/off timers...hint hint. 💡😅 ### 5/5 — THE best wemo app *2026-02-04* works very well, i can continue to use my wemo switches around the house. easy to use and setup. feb 26 ### 5/5 — Easy WeMo use, even after the official app stoped working *2026-01-25* I wish I would have left this review years ago. Slam dunk app. It (re)enables functionality that WeMo was known for when they first hit the market. Fast, Reliable, Local First support. This app lets you keep using WeMo units even after Belkin officially ended support of their cloud app. ### 5/5 — So thankful *2025-02-05* I’m in a wheelchair I fit my home with wemo/Belkin & the app will not transfer me into my login account——. So thankful for this keep developing!!! You’re great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
