MP Power 4+

The idea behind this app is excellent, however there are a few shortcomings in how the app works. This update especially has made control of the switch difficult in Near Field Communications mode. Even with the phone in close proximity of the switch the monoprice Bluetooth switch will occasionally turn off by itself. The switch has always turned back on after, but the flickering is a nuisance and can affect usability.
In addition while there are three control schemes, you cannot implement them all at once. Thus if you come home during the middle of the day when you don't need your lights, it will come on anyways. One kludge that has worked reasonably well for me is turning off Bluetooth on my iphone until I want the light on, but this is not really an acceptable answer and not everyone will be able to do this just to accommodate one app/ switch.

Just bought new older stock to use with my iPads in landscape mode. This app needs to update to for iPads as well. Then I will update my review to 5 star & buy other remote automation Bluetooth items by mfr. since this app loaded onto my device, it sometimes get stuck in (memory) portrait mode. Please give attention to this glitch

Unfortunately, I feel like I wasted my money on this product.

The device seems well-made; however, the functionality of the app was a disappointment -- to say the least -- and never worked as advertised for me.

I actually purchased this over a year ago. I tried using it then but had problems with the app -- with both the timer and Bluetooth connectivity. So, to give Monoprice a break, I decided I would hold off on my review and put the device up for about a year, hoping I'd come back and find several updates and be able to salvage my purchase.

To my dismay, however, Monoprice has failed to update this app since March 2014.

It looks like they've given up, so I guess I give up as well.

I have had good experiences with Monoprice in the past and the device and app do have some basic functionality, so I'm giving this 2 stars, but it's a shame that the company doesn't take more pride in ITS products.
