Comments on SwitchBot for Android

★★★★★ Jagbeer Singh · Jul 2, 2026

I bought the Switch bot bot recently and the best part was the easy setup. I was under the impression that the setup would be complex, but when I downloaded the app, it was straightforward. Usually, with products like this, the setup takes a while, but not on this one.

★★★★★ Jagbeer Singh · Jul 17, 2026

I used the wallet card! And let me tell you, it has been an amazing experience with it. I recently forgot my wallet at a grocery store and if it not were to the switch bot wallet card, I would have never found my wallet. The experience with this was amazing.

★★★★★ Gijs van Berne · Jul 7, 2026

Am I using a set of curtain rail motors (recently upgraded from v1 to v3), a mini hub and two thermometers. Not a single glitch. Pairing, controlling, reading, accurate and effortless. Too bad the video doorbell is not available sans the display unit...

I use the app with their robot vacuum. Editing rooms is unresponsive, jumpy, and inconsistent. I am happy with the robot, I am not happy with the app required to make customizations to the plan.

★☆☆☆☆ Jay Goldberg · Apr 27, 2026

The app does not allow you to test, connect to or scan for devices without creating accounts or logging in. Wanted to test a Switch bot BLE Lock before going through the trouble of getting it through an esp32 proxy into home assistant. Needs to be a law that basic setup of a device can be done as a "guest".

★☆☆☆☆ Milan Mohrs · Jul 14, 2026

When switching to a new phone all my historical data is gone from my sensors. Also, quite ridiculous that the app takes up around 500 megabytes. And syncing a sensor over Bluetooth takes 5 to 10 minutes for a week of data and the app has to be in the foreground all the time. Why is there no background syncing?

★★☆☆☆ J A · May 4, 2026

The Gen 3 hub and keyboard for lock stop work in the capp after the update. I can't change settings.
