HOW SURE ARE WE
Lower confidence: this app ranks below the overall top 50 everywhere, where single estimates can be off 2 to 4 times. The range is wide on purpose. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Looks great3%

4 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The auto-unlock worked fine until the app firmware upgrade and the Samsung 8.5 UI upgrade.
★★★★★ The ui is clean and beautiful and there are a lot of options and automations for your connected devices.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

App refuses to open without internet connection. I have several thermometers at home, in every room, they are connected to the App by Bluetooth, I set them up. I know. Yet, app refuses to open unless it's connected to the internet. Function of uploading the readings data is not the requirement for the app to open up. That comes later, whenever internet is available. So only reason is to download an advert first. This opens possibility of malware. Offer a paid app please.

★★★★★Oct 17, 2026

One of the most infuriating security apps I have used. It refuses to connect to the network. I have used Ring, Tapo, and a half dozen others and never had this kind of trouble. The camera is going back.

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026

I only wanted to connect to one device to synchronize its clock. Instead the app requests lots of unnecessary permissions repeatedly, sends me to store pages and begs for an account. I couldn't even get it to do that one simple job

★★★★★Oct 14, 2026

App has become unreliable. Furthermore, this move to require apps for the devices we purchase has, so far, been a failure for consumers. Broken devices caused by bad apps become unnecessary negative events in our lives. Yet, every time we open the app to check if a previous issue was resolved, you see an ad, so they still get paid. No amount of 1-star reviews will change this behavior. If we are to remedy this failed experiment, it will require legislation. ALL device apps should be open source.

★★★★★Oct 13, 2026

Easy to use and you can manage your device easily.
