Lasko

For whatever reason the app restarts every time i go to another app or even the home screen and the app is still active in the multitasking screen which is quite annoying to say the least. Furthermore, I would like for a clock timer as well if that’s possible

The fan works great well …after I had my first one die on me it was like 6 months old but the costumer service was so nice and sent me a brand new one which is working great BUT…. The main reason I bought this fan was to be able to control it with my phone and this app is so frustrating I’m constantly having to reinstall it and restart it and it’ll work for maybe a day usually less and then it just completely disappears and I have to reconnect the fan to the app and sometimes that won’t even work 😑 who knows if this will even get there attention though the last review was from over 2 years ago and they were having pretty much the same issues I’m having and if I’m having issues now 2 years later so I don’t have much hope on this actually getting fixed. Sorry this is way longer then I wanted this to be…I never do reviews but this is just frustrating and annoying and ridiculous… I’ve done all the troubleshooting things and it’s literally the app that is the problem not the fan so maybe just maybe someone will notice this and fix it cause this fan was not cheap I paid more cause I wanted the Bluetooth option. So anyway I almost wrote a novel there sorry 😏 hope to hear back or atleast make an update cause I’m not the only one with this issue. I may end up just goin with another company if they can’t fix this .. alright sorry this is a rant now :) hope everyone who reads this has a great rest of there day ;) 🙃

It’s pretty cool cause I’m in my room on my phone and don’t have to look for a remote when I’m in bed but the one thing that’s really annoying is the app how it restarts every time you switch back to it from another app like there should be anAccessibility they could add on maybe to the control center to atleast turn on or off other than that it’s a great useful feature hopefully they can fix that issue an not restart the app every time you leave it. Update: so I found out instead of waiting for the whole app to reload if you don’t completely exit the app and still leave it theee while another app if you click back into it instead of waiting for the app to restart if you memorize where the buttons are you can click them before the app fully reloads making it faster to turn off and on the fan hopefully they can fix that small bug but that’s a way to make it a lot faster instead of waiting for 20 seconds

Having previously owned and loved a similar model tower fan that just had a dedicated remote, I bought the bluetooth version thinking it would be more convenient. The app works fine, it’s basic 1:1 functionality with the physical controls. However every time I open the app I have to wait 3-4 seconds for the annoying intro/splash animation to play. I don’t think it’s starting from scratch as it happens if I literally swipe over to another app and directly back to the Lasko app. If I haven’t opened it in a day or so, the fan can be finicky to reconnect unless I manually kill the app and relaunch it (yay splash screen again). Sounds like a small gripe, but gets pretty annoying the more you switch back and forth in/out of the app. Imagine if every time you picked up the remote you had to stare at it for 3 seconds before hitting the button… It feels like needless friction.

In the previous version of the app, it controlled my two Lasko YF200 fans perfectly. After this latest update, it will no longer pair with any fan. I know because I removed one fan from the app and tried to reconnect it, only for it to never show up and pair even though it worked just fine 5 minutes before I updated. I’ve reinstalled the app and installed the app on other devices to no avail. I held off on posting this review in the hope that Lasko Support would fix the app, but it has been 4 months since the update that ruined the functionality of my fans. TLDR: Do not buy a Lasko fan with the hopes of controlling it through this app. If you are on a previous version of the app, DO NOT UPDATE!

Only bought this fan because it had the ability to use your phone as a remote. And well as other reviewers have said, doesn’t work and will not connect. Wish I would have spent half the money for a different fan. Was planning on buying all Lasko fans for my house, but will not buy another Lasko fan again. I should have read reviews on this app before I purchased.

I have the Lasko outdoor fan and one of their tower fans for my bedroom. Absolutely love the convenience of the app when I am entertaining outdoors or in bed at night. I get a lot of complements on the outdoor fan and it has proven to be great for small outdoor gathering during covid.

App restarts every time and sometimes it doesn’t connect properly and doesn’t do a thing. When it works it’s nice to have.

I don’t necessarily mind phone-only control without a physical remote option, and the app is reliable enough so far. But having to sit through a few-second animation of the Lasko logo any time I need to interact with my fan is pretty annoying. Wish this were reduced/eliminated.

Had this for a few years, but after moving my app lost connection to the fan. Now it has taken several attempts to get the connection back. - Unplugged the fan - restarted phone - reinstalled app Yet, still no connection. Sad the Bluetooth cannot be connected.

Bought window fan that was working well for a while. Fan still works fine but the app refuses to connect to the device after the most recent app update.

Had it 10 days and no longer can connect. Tried everything. Hard reset, uninstalled app, nothing. Bought it for this feature. Returning it. Too bad because if it also had a remote I probably would have kept it.

Hi Lasko, Suggestion: it’s be great to be able to set up a timer for the fan via the app. Such as if I want it to turn it on everyday at 9pm to get the air circulating before I went to bed

The app is good I just want it to open faster it takes so long showing the name.

Please add support for Shortcuts!!! It’d be AWESOME to set something up like: * Arrive home * Get temp * If temp > 70f, turn on fan The pairing and control functionality that currently exists is fast and simple, however Shortcuts support would get me to 5 stars,

Does not connect to the fan. After holding the Bluetooth button on the device nothing happens in the app.

Doesn’t have a night mode so blinding white. Restarts every time you open no matter what. Turned off and on Bluetooth on the phone and now gives the error with a typo “Application is requesting trun on Bluetooth” and to open settings. Bluetooth is enabled and on. Poor quality work overall. Says a lot about their company really.

I was so excited to get this fan because of the smartphone/Bluetooth capability but the Bluetooth stopped connecting to the fan after a week. Utter garbage. I'm returning it.

Installed app. Oscillating icon not showing up.
