Bayit Switch for Android
I've had this for quite some time...over a year at least, maybe two. Works okay but like others I have to force stop and restart almost every time I use a function outside the daily set timers. I can't say I dislike it because it has been very useful for my purpose. The software is just problematic and even after sending info to support a long time ago there seems to be no one updating or addressing the app issues. Did the person who wrote this app get wfr'd with no plans to backfill, lol?
fails to connect 80 percent of the time. keep haveing to reset plug :( please update your app already
Just doesn't work. Piece of total crap. Can only connect when you are on a wireless network (not cell phone) and doesn't work at all consistently. Get the highly rated Belkin model instead. The Bayit people should be ashamed of their horrible product!!!
Complete and utter garbage..it connected before the recent app upgrade, now it can't find it. Before it still sucked, but at least it connected. Whenever I rebooted my router, the switch would not roam and try to find it again. Sometimes it would disconnect on its own, and well, when you're away from home, trying to use this to turn on your AC and it does not work...it is garbage.
Was working fine as long as I was home until the last update. Now it constantly restarts, over and over again.
This app seems to work fine but Norton Scan always finds it as malware and recommends it be removed

The product is fine. It's the app that sucks. Keeps restarting over and over again... *sigh*
I find this works fine for me, regardless of what network I am on. The app has been stable too. This product works as advertised for me!
Doesn't work
Downloaded the lighting app then I saw this and decided to give it a try. Love the bayit apps.
Only works when I'm at home, but then it will work whether I'm on my home WiFi, on 3G, or on 4G. Totally useless.
Defeats the purpose of being a WiFi remote when it only works when you are at home AND connected to the same WiFi ONLY. Don't advertise the switch staying you can use it when you are away and on data. I might as well get up and do it myself. Noticed the prior reviewer has the same issue. I truly hope Bayit will fix this issue. I now have one pricey useless outlet.
Programming is 1 hour too fast. It's currently Daylight Savings but I have to turn off DST in the app settings to get it to work.
Text cursor keeps going back to the top name field.

Great app. Highly recommend.
This app is so useful. I can literally use it with any electronic I have at home. I bought 3 of them and use them for my air conditioning and 2 lamps and it works really well finally get to feel like the Jetsons (somewhat)
by Q####:
This app is barely functional. I have to restart it every time to get it to do anything. The UX is mostly very bad, too. Nothing is intuitive. If you are extremely patient, you can sort of eke out some basic functions. Doesn't appear to have been designed or tested in any meaningful way. The hardware is decent, which makes this even more disappointing.
