Lovense Remote 17+

I’ve been using this app with very little to no problems with my long distance partner for close to two years. Almost daily. Obviously, that means it’s worked. Since the last two updates to this app, since installing iOS 15.2.1 on a 13 pro max, the app will not stay connected to the internet when the screen is not live. After 30-45 seconds of being on another app, this is with all of our lush devices, I go offline and our connection is shut down. This has never ever been the way this app worked… I’ve been able to keep my phone locked.. on a phone call.. on a video call… whatever.. this has never been an issue. Now, if I don’t keep the screen up.. I can’t remain connected to my partner… nor will any patterns or “remote loops”, continue to play. It’s absolutely horrible. Please fix this. My husband and I have come to depend on your products and app functionality for our relationship needs when apart.. the frustration is leading us to research out other products. Very saddening.

So I want to start by saying that LOVE all our lovense products! However we have some connectivity issues from time to time. My girlfriend and I are both adult broadcasters and we also were long distance for 8 months before we lived together. We encounter some disconnection issues from time to time but I want anyone who reads this to understand that this system...Bluetooth toys that sync to eachother or to the cam site or the lovense app itself, is extremely reliable at the end of the day. We just today had our second toy (first Nora, now Domi) malfunction. When Nora broke we emailed lovense and they shipped a new one out right away and we just had to ship the malfunctioning item back. Super convenient! Now Domi is almost brand new, as was Nora when she broke.. and Domi’s battery doesn’t want to hold a charge.
So make sure you all understand that not every single product that lovense mails out is going to be perfect, BUT Lovense is AMAZING at customer service!! So please do NOT let any minor issues you may have dissuade you from buying your first, or several of their products! YOU WANT THESE TOYS!!! TRUST ME!! So I will be shipping Domi back and getting a new one because Lovense is just good like that! I TRULY HOPE THIS HELPS some of you to decide to buy Lovense products;)! -GRIM WOLF ALPHA

About a year or 2 ago, I feel like the remote feature was a lot more interesting and responsive. I recall the vibrations matching the patterns more accurately, plus there was a sharper cutoff between device off/device on, which, when combined with the loop mode and tapping the screen briefly, would result in these crazy oscillations that were amazing!
At some point, there was an update that softened the on/off transition, which killed that feature I loved so much. Ever since then, it seems like in general the remote is more laggy, and the loop mode seems much clumsier and less reactive than before. Devs, if you have any idea what I’m referring to, I hope this is something that could be brought back with a future update! It was incredible, and it’s a bummer to know that the app could do so much more if permitted! Maybe a start/stop speed setting could be a possibility? That would be super cool. Anyway, otherwise this app is still great, I just know it could be even better…
