2024-09-01 | Addison Beckham | It's functional, but not much else. It's nice that it integrates into Google Home, but none of the labels show properly in the Home app. It's a decent fan, but the app is the worst part. It works, but only just. | |
2024-08-12 | barry warren | Takes forever to connect and doesn't stay connected. One of the worst apps | |
2024-08-05 | Nick | Difficult to get tower fan paired but eventually got it. Maybe it needs 2.4ghz network? Who knows, the app isn't programmed well enough to inform users of the issue it's having. Anyway, the only reason I tried it was to see if I could turn off the annoying BEEP the Holmes Tower fan makes on every button press. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any additional options than the buttons on the fan, and the app remote control makes the BEEPs too for good measure. Who designed this?? | |
2024-07-22 | C Ja | This is crazy why would you create an app for wifi only that's just dumb and stupid 😅 I will just use the remote. I shouldn't have bought fan | |
2024-07-17 | Prometheous 318 | The fan is great, but I'm having issues with the pairing of wifi password. It keeps saying it can't find it. I tried everything. It's annoying at best, so it's a deal breaker for me, so back to the store it goes. | |
2023-12-30 | Gabrielle R | This app is truly ridiculous! It worked well with my fan until all of the updates to collect more data from the user. Seriously, it's just a fan. Why do you need access to my photos?!? Deleted app since it no longer works. This expirience makes me NEVER want to purchase another Holmes product. | |
2023-08-12 | Miguel Colon | Fix the app wifi pairing, and I'm still unable to pair it due to a device timeout!. | |
2023-07-31 | David Grey | Very easy to use and voice command. Easier than even the supplied remote. I think I may have used the remote one time then never again. Best feature for night time is turning off the beeps through the app! You can even program schedules, have groups of fans act as one. You can even do the same directly with Google which I have done! | |
2023-06-02 | Sumeet Gill | Really bad app. Couldn't even connect to the tower fan, I tried four times. Uninstalled and no more Holmes products. | |
2023-05-09 | MCW757 | Works great for me! I purchased a few 36" oscillating towers. Pairing worked perfectly each time and had no connections issues. My only complaint is the different fans speeds all seem the same🤷🏽♀️ |
