User Reviews

Users praise its core idea—keeping families connected to loved ones in senior living, especially during Covid, and some find it intuitive. However the app is hampered by persistent login problems, frequent crashes, and onboarding gaps. Many reports say you can't log in or must reset passwords, biometrics fail, and the app sometimes won’t open. Image viewing is poor due to small photos and lack of zoom, and the interface feels dated with clunky navigation. Addressing authentication, stability, onboarding, and photo/UI UX would significantly improve the experience.

Pros

Keeps families connected with residents, especially during Covid restrictions.
The app's purpose of enabling family communication in senior living is valuable.
Some users find Smile intuitive and useful.

Cons

Frequent login/sign-in problems: can't log in, password resets required, sign-in not remembered, and biometrics/Face ID may not work.
Crashes, freezes, or the app won’t open, making it unusable at times.
Onboarding gaps: no clear way to create an account or access the dashboard.
Photos are too small with no zoom or standard interaction (no pinch-to-zoom).
UI/UX feels dated and hard to navigate.
