User Reviews

The Arctic King app allows remote control of AC units, with core features like scheduling and temperature control praised once setup is complete. However, users widely report major issues including connectivity problems, unintuitive setup requiring manual WiFi switching, frequent app crashes, intrusive permission prompts, and poor instructions. Despite the app's shortcomings, many still value the AC unit's performance. Improved app stability, clearer guidance, and better user experience could significantly enhance satisfaction.

Pros

App enables remote control and scheduling of the Arctic King AC units.
Once setup is correctly completed, the app works and allows control of the AC.
Some users find that following the specific manual WiFi switching instructions allows the app to function smoothly.
The AC unit itself works well and is appreciated by users.
The app allows for useful features like remote temperature control, aiding in energy savings.

Cons

The app has frequent connectivity issues, often getting stuck at 99% during setup or losing connection.
Users must manually switch between AC WiFi and home WiFi multiple times during setup, which is unintuitive and frustrating.
App crashes and UI bugs occur, such as crashes when accessing settings and difficulty switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Permissions requesting (photos, location, files) are viewed as intrusive and annoying, with repeated prompts.
Poor user guidance and lack of clear instructions cause confusion, particularly during setup and use of features like sleep cycle and scheduling.

Recent reviews

Last hot season I programmed the ac with the app for each day of the week. I stopped using the wifi and schedule after awhile. Recently we had a power outage and now I gmcant get the app to even open. Or the WiFi connection to turn off on the AC unit. It worked fine when I first got it. It now it doesn't work at all.

FINAL UPDATE: This "Artic King" app was quietly retired for the "Midea Air" app, which at least when it changed to the current "MSmartHome" app, the company had the decency to popup a warning to switch over! Unbelievable. The newest app isn't that much better but is smoother. ······ Old Review: App is fine, very barebones; it could easily use better/more descriptions for each function. The text that is there could use some better localization, but it's passable and gets the job done well-enough.
