Horrible app! It's so buggy! Been trying to use this thing for 3 months. I have 5 Soma 3 units and at least once a day one or more of them just stop responding. I have to plug the device in to power to get it to respond. I've also had it stop working and report "battery level too low top operate" when the battery was at 75%! Really??? Tech support is worthless. No response after weeks. They claim they will update the firmware "soon" - that was almost 2 months ago. Don't buy these things!

This has to be one of the worst product experiences of my life. I'm reviewing both hardware and app. My Soma 3 device will not charge beyond 50%, the touch controls are unresponsive and the worst of all it's slow and incredibly loud. No way to open the shades without waking up. The app is bare bones, I wish I had the option to slowly open the shades in the morning but it's not an option. There's still the issue of the device renaming your phone to be able to work which is not acceptable.

Getting the app to "connect" is glitchy. It works when you open the app, but shortly after stops. Firmware update is glitchy, the app says downloading and installing, but it never installs. Works poorly with large shades. They "slip" down with time. So when I open them via soma, it doesnt go all the way up, and if I close, it tries to force past the limit. There is a new slippage compensation feature...but since firmware update doesnt work, I cant use it. Why do you keep renaming my bluetooth!!

Hello Milap. Regarding the problem with connection - did you try to contact our support service? If not, please do so, and we will see what can we do. Secondly, about the slipping - are you using the plain cord version? Is the cord tight enough? Regarding the bluetooth problem - we are looking for the better solution. Sorry for the inconvenience!
