## Review summary

User reviews mainly describe BroadLink e-Control as largely unusable on current iOS due to crashes, lack of updates, and compatibility issues after iOS 15+. Repeated complaints include the app failing to open, crashing when interacting with devices, and UI misalignment after updates. Several note that Alexa/Google integration no longer works. A few mention the hardware itself still functions, but the app cannot be relied on for control. Overall, maintenance and reliability problems dominate the sentiment.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability on iOS, including the app crashing on launch or when interacting with devices
- Lack of updates from the developers leading to compatibility issues with the latest iOS versions (e.g., iOS 15+)
- UI misalignment and layout problems after updates (buttons or text misaligned/shifted)
- Loss of voice assistant integration (Alexa/Google) within the app
