Generally works pretty well. The hub timers will get out of sync over time, it must not have a very good internal clock? But they have a button to sync it in the hub settings of the app. This should be automatic really as our blind morning opening time will drift in the course of a few months if I haven't used the app in a while and synced it. Also, the timers really need a speed control "quiet mode" option, so you can have them open slowly and make less noise as an early morning option.

As a professional installer, this app works great for both our business and our clients. I would gladly recommend this app to my friends and family if they decide to purchase from Budget Blinds. There are a couple of quirks you must know in order to get the hub to function properly, and it may be frustrating for people who aren't professionals to program it. Aside from that, this version of the app is stable and reliable.

Randomly stops communicating with the hub. When this happens it cannot keep the timers I've set like it's supposed to. The only way to get it to work is to reset it, and then I have to redo timers etc. for all blinds.
★☆☆☆☆Amanda Hoffman· Nov 27, 2022
Terrible app experience, doesn't work with Google Home as advertised. Not clear how to set up automations, and when you do, they don't work either. This app is so bad it makes me regret purchasing the "smart" blinds at all. Waste of money.
★★☆☆☆Ian Sutanto· May 26, 2025
Not sure why they changed the app to make it worse. Now to check battery status of the electric blinds have to hold on each shade, click the setting wheel and inspect each blind for battery level. They don't seem to be very accurate anymore either. One day it'll say low, then next day it's ok and a different one will be bad. In the past you could see a percentage battery for each blind on the home page.
