So I've found this app 'ok', until recently when I discovered that the timing feature doesn't adapt to local daylight savings. Consequently I have to adjust my timers every 6 months when the clocks change. Such a simple thing to accommodate, but not dealt with by the developers. I'll upgrade my rating if they ever introduce this.

The android version of this app would not let me connect a new smart socket no matter what I tried. I switched over to an ios version and it worked perfectly. An update after using for a few weeks. Today, I noticed that the socket did not change automatically with the clocks going back one hour. I went into the app to see if I could adjust the timer I had set up and was met with a "web page not available error" within the app. This app is not fit for purpose.
