## Review summary

Most reviews report the app is unstable: the firmware updater often fails or gets stuck, Bluetooth device selection is unreliable, and Wi‑Fi setup frequently freezes. Users also report crashes and limited features (no kettle control beyond updates). A few users note the app is simple and can work occasionally, successfully listing devices or completing an update, but overall the experience is unreliable and support is lacking.

### Pros

- Discovers and lists kettles via Bluetooth (some users could see their device)
- Simple, minimal user interface — easy to understand when it works
- Occasionally completes the intended tasks (some users reported successful Wi‑Fi connection or firmware update)

### Cons

- Firmware update process frequently fails or becomes stuck showing “Updating”/“Updating Soon” or “Update available” indefinitely
- Cannot reliably connect to or select the kettle in the app; Bluetooth pairing/selection often non-responsive
- Wi‑Fi setup or scanning freezes or fails to complete
- App instability: crashes, blank white screens, or requires reinstall/factory resets
- Very limited functionality (primarily firmware updates) and poor or slow customer support
