Modern Forms

The remote control is slow to respond and the light is randomly turning ON or OFF. The app has connectivity and synchronizing issues. I like this product, hardwares are working fine but the software… It has to be updated regularly.

By far, the worst app and product in my home. Rarely connects and when it does, it drops the connection. How can a product be so poorly designed and executed? Modern Fans should refund every person who bought this product. I don’t mind spending the money for a product that works but these fans do not work as they should. STAY AWAY!

It feels like most of the options on the app don’t work, or are just randomly problematic. Here are some issues I have run into. -When trying to turn on/off lights the app won’t connect to the fan half the time. -Setting a schedule only seems to save 1 fan and a max of 2 schedules. -Editing schedules seems to save random information, i.e. it will save all days of the week when not selected. -Adding more than 3 fans to a group will give you the error “Tips” We really love our fans but the app is mostly useless and we are better off just getting up to turn on/off the fans instead of using its “smart” features. After talking to support I was told the developer of the app would get in touch. I’ve heard nothing since and I’m now having issues like my daughters light turning on at 4am on random days. I do not recommend this app to even my worst enemy.

I regret my purchase of a modern fan and their app is absolutely horrible. I purchased their fan over 2 years ago and I’ve constantly had to re-add the fan to the app as the cloud loses its registration. This past week alone I’ve had to re-add the fan over 30 times after it beeps 3 times, turns off, broadcasts its local wifi and sure enough, no cloud registration. If I didn’t have this fan hanging up so high that scaffolding is needed to get to it, I would have ripped it out and thrown it in the trash.

We have two ceiling fans that are paired with this app. I am lucky if I can execute one adjustment in the app before it begins searching for the network and becomes unusable. We usually just leave our fans on full speed and just turn them on and off with the light switch as the app can be so unpredictable. I frequently check the App Store for updates and none are available. I have already had to perform factory resets on my fans that were only installed about 6 months ago. If the app worked consistently, it would have a lot of nice features. Unfortunately, it’s very finicky and frustrating.

With the brand-new fan, this app worked for me when the remote did not, which was frustratingly often. We even bought a new remote and batteries, but it didn’t make any difference. Now a year later, the remote is more finicky, and the app didn’t work at first, but then it came to life and appears to be the only way to get this fan to operate.

When I first installed the sand 2.5 years ago I had already been through another fan manufactures wifi fiasco and gave up at the first sign of trouble. I have two of te Aviator fans outdoors and figured the remote was good enough. Just a few weeks ago I tried to connect them to wifi, and to my amazement both connected and updated with barely any trouble at all. I didn’t leave a review before, but now that it works I’m happy to leave a 3 star review since the app is functional. To earn the extra two stars would require adding Apple widgets or shortcuts to the app. Thanks

It's unfortunate that their fans and lights are so aestheticly pleasing because the app is so bad that I will not buy another product of theirs. The app connects when it wants to which is less than half of the time. Want to set up your fan/ light on a schedule? Good luck and prepare for an extremely aggravating experience. Think you can just make a change on a current schedule, nah, you're going to have to delete it and start a new schedule. I know reading the above you would expect top notch engineering for the remote, surprise, that barely works also. Great design placing the magnet, that holds the remote to the wall, opposite of the battery compartment so when you put the remote on the holder on the wall, it pulls on the batteries enough that it doesn't have power. The only positive I have to give about this company are the visual design. Get past the looks and it's all garbage. I don't write reviews ever, especially this long, but I just had to because I hate this app sooo much. I hate it.

I have had to delete the app and reinstall it to reestablish a connection on 3 separate occasions. This should be remedied.

Don’t label an app as a feature if it rarely works inconsistently. Garbage.
