Not much to this app, but given it's just a connective app for a specific smart plug, not a lot is needed. For a while, however, some firmware issues persisted between the app and the smart plug that would result in the smart plug turning off unprompted and unconnected to timed events. We would come home and discover that the fridge was off for no apparent reason (The smart plug was used with the fridge). The issue hasn't cropped up in the last few months but keep an eye on your own unit.

The app is unusable nothing works. Plug is showing offline even though I went through of connecting it and can turn it on of from phone but it still shows offline. The constantly crashes from the simplest of actions like switching the order of rooms in my home management section. The website is no help; no useable information about the device I just setup. Terrible experience thus far. The only saving grace, the plug was free.

I've had the plug installed for just over a month, and whenever I open the app, I see "Offline - no internet connection" OR "Offline - no Bluetooth ". The only way to fix the issue is to unplug, delete the wifi, and reinstall. It would be helpful if developers added a notification when the plug is offline, as well as a simple fix for reconnecting to wifi.
