User Reviews

User reviews consistently praise the hardware and lighting but report the Apple app as unreliable. Common issues include repeated connectivity failures, inability to deploy/retract via the app, missing or nonfunctional color controls, and updates that break compatibility. Some users experience brief initial success, but problems persist, indicating flaws in app reliability and feature completeness relative to the hardware.

Pros

The PowerStep hardware generally functions well when the app isn’t hindering it (deploy/retract works and the unit looks solid).
LED lighting is attractive and adds visual appeal to the setup.
Initial app pairing and basic operation can work for some users (appears to connect and function at first).

Cons

Frequent connectivity failures: the app loses connection, reports 'no device found,' and steps won’t deploy even when it shows connected.
Color/lighting controls are missing or nonfunctional in the app (no color options, lights won’t change).
App updates often break compatibility, causing devices to become unfindable or unconnectable after an update.
App reliability deteriorates over time, requiring re-pairing or troubleshooting to regain functionality.
Feature gaps: lack of CarPlay/Siri integration and limited override timer for retract/deploy (e.g., 30-minute limit).

Recent reviews

The powerstep app has been a great addition to my powerstep. The override feature is one of the best functions. Being able to manually deploy the powerstep while driving through the carwash makes cleaning the steps and rocker panel so much easier. Definitely a useful feature that adds convenience beyond just normal automatic operation.

App worked the first day only. Everything shows as connected, however the steps will not deploy. Save your money and go with the regular Amp steps.

Totally disappointed after just purchasing these and having them installed. Of course my decision to buy them was donate the LED and ability to use the app. to adjust the lighting. I would have thought that the glitches for app would have been resolved by now but that doesn't seem the case. Hopefully customer support will get back with me soon to resolve the issues.
