HISMITH

Somewhat great app i hate seeing all those annoying disgusting comments tho so please turn them off and the app no long works on iphone 5s it keeps crashing when you open the app

The machine itself is absolutely fantastic, but the app is terrible and difficult to navigate. You cannot search for patterns (or modes as they call them) by keywords which would be useful. Creating patterns is buried under menus. Screen turns off while using the machine which closes the app -even more annoying when you’re making a pattern as it closes AND resets the app, erasing any work you’ve done. A fix has been requested for this for years and is somehow still overlooked. Why are there three different ways to post to the community (Article, Play, Ask)? Play and Ask are basically used the exact same way asking to find people to play with, as are Articles but Articles are sometimes just regular posts which is fine. If the superior motor of the premium machine could be connected to the competing Lovense app it would be a much more enjoyable experience. The one thing the Hismith app DOES have over Lovense is the hitherto lack of scammers.

My Hismith machine is amazing to start with - that power and nonstop cadence. Sometimes it perfect to just relax and let it do its thing. However, having some nuance, some control can make all the difference. Being able to make patterns on the iPad is a game-changer for me. App runs and pairs without any issues. Also, it’s regularly updated and maintained. Just keeps getting better!

One thing I don’t get is why creating your own routine is so complicated?! Why not allow us to create our routine the same way you use solo play with finger swipe? I’m a coder, and I know it’s not THAT hard to make it happen. Another thing would be to allow creating the routines without having to connect to the machine, so then you can actually enjoy the routines instead of spending hours tediously creating routines cutting into your playtime.

Love to see this app being updated regularly and I feel it's getting better but still needs work. One thing I'd love to see is the option to keep the screen on while using the app, please!

When I downloaded this app to my phone I received notification someone was trying to sign in using my Apple ID near Wuhan, China. When I downloaded app to my iPad I got a message from Netflix someone was attempting to sign in to my Netflix account in Malaysia. This a Chinese app. Don’t trust it. I deleted from both my devices.

I just got my machine in recently within the last week and was excited to give it a try. The physical machine and remote included is wonderful. I adore it. Built sturdy, good toy attachment and overall quiet and a little beast. HOWEVER: The app leaves so much to be desired. It is unintuitive, and in my opinion behind the curve as far as being user friendly, and the main key features I bought the HISMITH brand over others was due to the remote play feature, as well as the game room features. Both seem to be broken. Neither connect or work as much as I’ve tried, even if I have -my stable WiFi connection -an iPhone 12 -up to date app (downloaded again to see if it was just an error, nope) -Bluetooth connected to machine and paired to my phone -(yes the machine is on) The machine pairs to my phone ok. I can make my own patterns and stuff and play solo (which at that point I should just use the physical remote since the pattern mode is more distracting at least for me). Those features work great! Where it falls short is when you try to play long distance and if you check the “ask” forums page, this has been a persistent problem on and off for months sadly. The “remote play” feature just keeps giving me a dark screen with a “can’t connect to network try again later” error and nothing more. The “game lobby” section only apparently works with other people who own the same machine as you do according to a CS representative that reached out to me via email (they’ve been really great so far, and I don’t want my experience with just the app to weigh negatively against the machine and company themselves- I wanted to clarify that!)The app explains very little of how this is supposed to work, so it’s trail and error. While trying to populate a public room, the app will “save” my preferences and then just process for a long time and never generate the room or show it’s available below like it’s supposed to. In short, playing by yourself is fine! But the apps connectivity long distance leaves things entirely underwhelming. I adore my machine, and appreciate the help so far from the community and would really love to be able to utilize the apps functions fully like I paid for. I’ll update my reviews as I work through things, but as they stand I wanted to give an honest and accurate take to what the current issues are. Thanks folks!

I’m 9/10 times always getting “problem with the network” whenever I’m on the app. Even though everything is fine. I don’t know what is going on

Since the last update of this app. It fails to connect and unable to use any of the play option 90% of time. The device itself is fantastic!

App crashes continuously and will not open on iphone 5s ios 12 i'm not sure what update caused this too happen, deleting and reinstalling does not fix the nonstop crashes

timed out error whenever I log in during the day but night is fine

It turned on my camera and or microphone while signing up!

I give the three stars based on the off line use and the potential online use. When requesting a validation code (required to register) all I can get is “Mail failed to send, try again later.” Well “later” hasn’t worked all day. I can’t tell if it’s a problem with iOS (14.7) blocking the app, a problem with the app, or their mail server is down. Whatever it is not having the code blocks registration. The off-line is not much more than using the phone for a second wireless controller.

To register you need a code you never receive a code and when you got to email to check for the non existent code in your email the app closes and makes you start over, so even if you get code its invalid.

App requires a validation code to register, sent via email. I keep requesting the code and getting nothing. Can’t give more than one star if I can’t use the app.

I like the automation the app provides, and the community aspects. The major area that needs improvement still is the programming of routines. I've tried adding my own programs, and find it awkward. I really want something better for editing programs -- and i have some specific ideas that would immediately improve it: • let us use both the sliders, and add text entry using a numpad, to set the levels for singles • add a way to change a single to a cycle, or a cycle to a single • i also think it would be great to easily be able to copy-paste selected blocks of singles and cycles. i would also change the name 'single' to 'ramp'. written 2020-12-07
