Ratings and reviews

My rating is for the app only; the actual product (portable AC) would receive 5 stars. Ever since transitioning from the previous app, I've lost all control from Google Home and am having trouble getting it to connect to the new app. I know it's my fault for choosing to buy a "smart" device, and I think I will just use my Flipper Zero to clone the remote and set up an IR blaster that can be remotely controlled. The AC is very effective, though.

This replaced the Midea app, and is horrible. Takes too long to connect to devices, and the interface doesn't even render correctly on the screen. Elements are too big and are being drawn off screen making it useless. Restarting the phone helped. Shouldn't have to do this. Wish i could roll back away from this. Don't change if you don't have to.

I'm using this app with my Midea U-Air Conditioner. For me, the greatest feature is being able to set an on-off schedule. I only gave it 4 stars because of the scheduler. The scheduler only allows on & off or a 12 hour sleep curve. Instead of shutting the air conditioner off, I would prefer to be able to change the temperature without having it shut off, then start with a higher temp, then later on, have to have it shut off and turn back on at a lower temperature.
