Review summary

User reviews show PlusMinus often fails with Alexa integration and automation reliability, with many calling the app abandoned and lacking updates or features (colors, scenes, store). Stability issues include devices disconnecting and random light activity. Antivirus false positives are noted by Malwarebytes and ESET. Some users report brief, limited success with setup and basic on/off control, but overall sentiment is negative due to long-standing integration and support problems.

Pros

Easy to set up and operate with clear instructions
Alexa integration has worked at times, showing basic compatibility
Basic lighting control (on/off) works when the app is functional

Cons

Alexa linking and control frequently fail or become unavailable
App appears abandoned with no updates, missing features (colors, scenes, store) and little to no support
Unreliable performance: automations and device connections often fail, with random lights turning on/off and offline issues
Antivirus false positives: Malwarebytes and ESET flagged the app as dangerous
Poor compatibility with Google Assistant (trouble triggering automations)

2025-10-30	Be*****	30.11.25 Just tried to link to Alexa and it's worked. About time too! Unable to Connect Since Friday, 24/10/25, it has stopped working with Alexa. I’ve tried reconnecting over 20 times, but it keeps failing. I also reset the bulb, etc., but it’s still not working. It seems to be a widespread issue. I’ve emailed the company but haven’t received a response yet. I’m having to use the app instead, which is a pain — it was so much easier and more convenient when hands-free. Highly disappointing.
