This app is actually a more intuitive way to control the bed warmer than the buttons on the machine. It’s also much more convenient to fiddle with the temp in the middle of the night. I have the machine pushed under the bed all the time now and solely use the app. It is very handy to turn on the pre-heat from the app before we leave the movie theater at night. When we get home, the bed is waiting for us, all toasty. Truly love this system!

When I first got my smart plugs from this company, I was impressed with the size. They are small and easy to place without the worry of costing other plug slots. However the app is another thing. When I first logged in, this app wanted access to everything my phone had to offer. local network, Location, Camera, Bluetooth, and even my Microphone eventually. All other smart plug apps I have used in the past only really asked for you local network and maybe your location. However this app, if you refuse to give it your location it will stop the setup process. Unless you give you location, it will not let you continue with your WiFi plug setup. That’s were I have up on this plug. Every other plug I have used, has never kept you from setting up you plug because you don’t want to fork over your location. Apologies for the rant, but I think it is poor business ethics to punish or restrict your customers from using a product over their location.

This app works if you want to control the devices that are compatible with it, but it’s definitely quirky. For example, when you try to login using Google when you opened the app for the first time, which seems like something someone would reasonably do, you get bombed with notifications about location and Bluetooth that end up cancelling the “use google to sign in” notification, so you have to try again a couple of times before you can actually continue. And what’s even worse: the English translation. I understand that Chinese to English dictionaries are very hard to come by, but you should invest in one. There are multiple grammatical errors within the app that don’t get in the way of you controlling your devices, but definitely make the app feel cheaply made. In summary, works, but prepare for some growing pains.
