Comments on SmartHQ for Android

★★★★★ A. B. · Nov 1, 2026
May 2026: Why on Earth are newfangled add-ons being implemented without any choice if the user can remove them or not? Like "My Shopping List." How do I get rid of it?! Developer should focus more on this app's reliability than putting this sort of junk into it. UPDATE Oct 2026 after developer responded that they work pass my comments on: Thank you for giving users the option to be able to hide that from our menu! Nice feeling to know our feedback here is read & considered, much appreciated!
★★★★★ P M · Oct 19, 2026
I love being able to check on my appliances. I can turn on the oven to preheat.
★★★★☆ Ken “BACON” Thompson · Oct 4, 2026
Why doesn't the back button from the android device work on the electricity usage section? Like I have to use the in-app back button for only that section
★★☆☆☆ Robert Fowler · Oct 20, 2026
Not a fan! The Wi-Fi interface doesn't connect. My wall mounted oven had a QR code, so I scanned and went down the rabbit hole. Waste of my time.
★☆☆☆☆ asha g athikkal · Oct 9, 2026
Extremely disappointed with this experience. The physical installation guide provided with the machine was incomplete and unhelpful, leaving even experienced local tradespeople confused. The mounting brackets and sliders are flimsy and broke during installation, and sourcing replacements is nearly impossible. To make matters worse, the app fails to sign in or connect to the machine altogether. Expecting customers to run an appliance without its front panel due to poor hardware and non-functional
★☆☆☆☆ Logan Stanley · Oct 11, 2026
The app keeps saying my dishwasher is in demo mode - which it isn't. I have removed it and added it again, same issue.
★☆☆☆☆ Al V · Oct 18, 2026
Drops my Wi-Fi connection on my washer and dryer and then says on the app when I try to reconnect that the password for my Wi-Fi is incorrect. I hate this app.
★★☆☆☆ Frank Emerich · Nov 3, 2026
The operation of the appliances is good, the software and manual remain far from complete. Engineering not complete.
