Steamlinx 17+

I cannot understand how I spent almost $6000 for a machine and this is all the app has to offer. It appears as if a 10-year-old wrote this app. I have the full dream package and I assumed that the app would be fully functional. Basically it turns the steam shower on and off. You cannot control the music or the lights, there is a delay, and the app looks like it was written a good few years ago! I cannot understand how Mr. Steam which is considered to be a reputable company could be a little themselves with an app like this! If I would’ve known before I bought the product or would have seen this app I never would’ve trusted the company nor would I have bought the machine.
On another note, if the app is such a simple app then why is there no Apple Watch support?! I feel that this app ridicules Mr. Steam’s customers!

First, the app has to be rebooted constantly. Then when it is connected, it does not work as stated. You’ll have to push the on button anywhere from 10 to thirty times before it might turn on. Sometimes never. If you turn on the steamer manually, then you can most times control temperature which really defeats the purpose. Very poorly designed. I had a Mr. Steam in the past and the control was an issue with the company purposefully discontinuing the 5 dollar controller so you’d have to buy a new machine. The machine probably would have run 30 years. Now a horribly designed controller again in the designer series where you have to press the buttons even manually several times to get it to work. Won’t buy another.

Love my steam shower, utterly disappointed by this.

Every single time I use it, I have to choose which steam unit to connect to (I only have one) and accept a disclaimer that turning on the steam shower while the door is open can result in steaming the rest of my home (I know, I use it every day). Sensible defaults would solve this.

And then there’s the UI. It’s simple enough, but because it’s unresponsive, you can’t use it. I have tried repeatedly to set a timer on it (the clock icon!), but all it does is allow me to use the left and right arrows to decrease the number displayed, and then resets to the original time. And then it switches to OFF on the app, but the steam shower is still active.

Open source this thing so anyone else can build a better application and we can get something that works.

And if you’re thinking of buying this for your Mr Steam system, don’t. It’s much easier to just use the controls in the steam shower and set a timer on your phone with a flashing light effect to let you know “times up” than to try and get this awful app working.
