## Review summary

Several users report persistent connectivity problems with the fanSync WiFi app, including difficulties maintaining connections and app freezes. While the fans themselves receive positive remarks for design and basic control features are generally straightforward, setup can be challenging without manual Wi-Fi entry options. Integration with smart assistants is functional but limited. The app also struggles with newer Wi-Fi security protocols, and customer support appears lacking. Despite these issues, some users find the app effective for basic fan and light control and value its smart home integration features.

### Pros

- Works well once connected to Wi-Fi network.
- Simple and straightforward setup when successful.
- Integrates with Google Home and Alexa for smart home control.
- App allows basic fan and light controls including dimming and reverse functionality (though some features may be limited).
- Fans themselves are well-designed and considered high quality by some users.

### Cons

- Frequent connectivity issues with Wi-Fi, especially with reconnection after initial setup.
- App hangs or freezes on launch or during connection attempts, rendering fans unusable.
- Lack of support for newer Wi-Fi security protocols like WPA3 leading to connection loss.
- No option to manually enter Wi-Fi credentials in the app, causing setup difficulties.
- Features like fan reverse and advanced controls are either unreliable or limited in smart assistant integrations.
