A weekly roundup of SmartHQ's key feedback

1

Connectivity Issues

A significant number of users, approximately 30%, report persistent connectivity issues with the app, particularly when trying to connect appliances to Wi-Fi or maintain a stable connection. This problem often results in users being unable to control their appliances remotely, which is a core feature of the app.

The app constantly disconnects my appliances, making remote control impossible.

2

Account Setup Problems

Around 20% of users experience difficulties with account setup and login processes, including issues with password resets and verification loops. These problems prevent users from accessing the app's features, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction.

I can't get past the email verification step, making the app unusable.

3

App Crashes

Approximately 25% of users report frequent app crashes, especially when attempting to add appliances or access certain features. This instability makes the app unreliable and diminishes the user experience.

The app crashes every time I try to add a new appliance, rendering it useless.

4

Limited Functionality

About 15% of users find the app's functionality lacking, as it often fails to provide full control over appliances or lacks expected features. This limitation leads to disappointment, especially for users who purchased appliances expecting comprehensive smart capabilities.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app was great and notifications worked for my laundry before I upgraded my phone. Now, it tells me to turn on notifications, but there's no option in app settings. Loved this feature when I had it!

For a company of this size, I expected a much better app. I can’t log into my account from the app, and the device connection experience is poor. The app unnecessarily redirects to the web for verification, making the experience feel clunky and outdated.

Bought a new washer and dryer, and the app works, but it’s not very useful. I can’t control anything, just view some info. Would be great to schedule jobs to run at cheaper times, change settings, and connect to Apple Home.
