Review summary

The Shelly Smart Control Android app is praised for being complete and easy to use with multiple Shelly devices, but multiple reviews report stability and reliability issues (crashes, blank screens), widget unreliability, privacy concerns and mandatory online accounts, device discovery/add problems, and a cluttered UI requiring more tutorials.

Pros

Complete and well-made app
Easy to use for users with limited IoT experience
Supports managing multiple Shelly devices from one app

Cons

Frequent app crashes or blank/white screen on launch
Widgets are unreliable or don't reflect device state
Forced online account/licensing and privacy concerns, reducing local control
Device discovery/adding failures and inconsistent connections (cannot add new devices; some devices never connect)
Cluttered and non-intuitive UI with limited guidance and tutorials

2026-06-27	Ri*****	Pretty good. I like the app, app look and I am using it on a daily basis, a lot. What I would like to see in addition to POWER and REACTIVE POWER lines is the APPARENT POWER info-line, too.
