Malouf Base

This app will suffice as a remote control substitute, but you’ll have to put up with lots of bugs. Pros: * Easy to use * Mirrors most remote functions * Siri Shortcuts integration Cons: * Buggy * Command lag When you start the app, you are asked to select which bed you want to control. This is the stupidest screen to have to tap through every time— maybe just notice that I only own one bed and automatically select it? You know, like 99% of the people on the planet? Once you get past the first screen, the layout of the app is odd to say the least. For example, the presets screen, which is basically a sub-tab of the unlabeled positioning (I guess?) tab, has large blank spaces where one would expect zero-gravity and anti snore presets to be. Despite the weirdness, it’s easy to use, and you won’t have any trouble finding most of the remote control functionality mirrored in the app. Nor is there a bunch of fluff trying to make the app more than it needs to be. Adjustments have a noticeable lag, though I suspect that this is a hardware or communications issue rather than an app issue. Plenty of other issues are probably attributable to the app, though. For example, other reviewers have mentioned connectivity problems. This is indeed a frequent issue, but I have noticed that some commands work more reliably than others, and can help the app to recover a connection. This behavior is strong evidence of app bugs rather than hardware issues. One nice feature of the app is Siri Shortcuts. “Hey Siri, flatten my bed,” works reliably for me in the morning, since the phone has been near the bed all night. Shortcuts from the lock screen never seem to work, though. Also, you can’t control the bed’s night light from Siri, which is a huge miss in my opinion. The bed base itself sounds like an electric window raised to the volume of a Vitamix, so I’d imagine the anti snore feature works well by simply waking you up. I wouldn’t know, though, because I don’t snore.

Want to adjust my position while I’m sick in bed, but I have to go through a bunch of logins first. Would love to see a widget

I’ve used this app for over a year as my primary way to adjust my bed (s750). I opened it a couple months ago to find two preset options missing 1) the custom 2) setting and 2) the lounger setting. I’d like these back please.
