Only giving two starts because it allows to make some changes once connected. Overall, app is terrible. Every time I need to connect to a coffee machine, it needs to re-pair. Totally useless and waste of time.. no tips to troubleshoot connection or explain why this happens. You would at least expect to get a decent app for a coffee machine when you pay so much money for it...

I updated to the latest firmware but can’t use some of the features like setting up a schedule. The option is not available for me because it says I need to update to the latest firmware. The information page says I am on the latest firmware with no option to update to anything newer so I’m now in limbo between the app thinking I’m on an old firmware while also telling me I’m on the latest.

צוות התכנות כל כך גרוע. בקשתי כבר שנתיים: 1. יום ראשון עבור חלק מהמשתמשים הוא היום הראשון בשבוע. אין דרך לקבוע זאת באפליקציה ויום ראשון מוצג בתחתית. 2 השינוי שבוצע להדלקה וכיבוי מראש כל כך טיפשי ולא נותן כלום שכן תכלס אתה יכל לתכנת רק תוכנית אחת שכן כל עוד יש חפיפה בימים בין התוכניות זה לא מתאפשר. וזה במקום שיהיה אפשר לתכנת כל מה שאתה רוצה ורק להפעיל אחת מהם. כל כך טפשי. 3. בגרסה הקודמת לא ניתן היה להפעיל את יום שני בתוכנית מראש מבלי לסמן גם את יום ראשון. לא יודע אם פתרו זאת. בקיצור מבונה מדהימה אבל צוית תכנות חלש מאד חבל

Being the exclusive app for interfacing with or controlling one of their machines, and that both phone and machine could communicate directly (Bluetooth), it’s super frustrating that this nearly completely depends on reaching random servers out on the internet to do things like reconfigure the machine’s schedule. If only they’d provide a local webUI for configuring the machine. I’m perfectly able to search their (odd) website and the general internet for support & info, tho this seems to be a significant function of this app. And all this is beside the fact that they’re not terribly forthcoming about the specific ports the machine needs to reach on which internet hosts, and for what purposes. (I’ve tried asking many times.)

Cannot use the app to turn on my machine before updating! Why is the update forced?

I just want to start my machine in the morning to make some coffee.

Best feature of the machine is being able to set up a schedule for your machine to turn on and off but now it’s broken. There’s no update available even though one was released recently. Ugh.

I frequently do not have connectivity between the App and my Linea Micra. And when it does connect, the shot timer function rarely works. The shot timer either won’t start or will stop in the middle of a shot. Sometimes it starts over in the middle of a shot. Way too many glitches for an espresso machine of this caliber. But the coffee is fabulous!

At this point I expect an iOS widget where I can turn my machine on/off really quickly with a tap without even opening the app like any IoT device. Alas, the app’s actually really slow. Not sure if devs understand how to develop IoT hardware/apps, integrations for Alexa/Google etc. this feels very primitive. Also I’d love to have an option to manage schedule for steam boiler separately.

Why on the app it’s says that i brew coffee when the machine was off for a few days? Please resolve this issue. Thanks
