Roomba Home

Terribly bad. No response at all do not use this app

Doesn’t show map of where my new model robot is or where it has gone, doesn’t show any cleaning history just a blank layout of the floor. My 7 year old roomba on the old app does all of these things with no problems. app will frequently not shut down on iPhone or iPad forcing to reset them. Says that connection to robot was lost due to battery being dead when it has 50% charge. Will not buy iRobot brand again if they don’t fix the app.

I bought the new roomba 105 combo w/ empty trash bin only. I really love this vacuum. This is my 2nd roomba & this one is the best ever.

App can be used to start a cleaning but that’s about it. I have a 16 pro max and this app crashes all the time. Will not allow me to edit my existing maps nor see the progress of cleaning on the map. The software for the actual roomba is buggy as well, going home to charge mid cleaning cycle with 70% of battery

While some functions work well, others do not. Spot cleaning function has never once worked. setting up automations works, but there is no way to edit the function or even see what operations are going to be done, you can only change the time/day. App locks up frequently and needs to restart. Was promote to fix the overflow drain and it said click here to see how, nothing happened when clicked. History tells you what area was done, but doesn’t say what was done in that area. Cleaning zones doesn’t always work. App needs a serious update/overhaul. I almost returned the unit because it’s so difficult to work in the app.

App is very slow compared to original version. Also, it doesn’t show where it cleans every time. 3 times in a row there is no map of where it cleaned. This is even after rebooting the robot. This is a horrible experience.

This app “works” but it certainly has its bugs. I’m sure it will get worked out. Being a software engineer myself, I totally understand getting the product out and making updates for stability and functionality later, but this wouldn’t be up to my standards.. The app crashes all the time when trying to navigate the UI. Starting a map creation is touchy at best. I tried to make 2 maps, one for downstairs and one for upstairs. It went through the entire mapping only to not show up in the map screen 3 times. I had to delete the first mapping, completely turn off the vacuum and start over again. ( I had a cool idea of using and seeing the mapping for both stories of the house) Adding more than 2 no go zones and 2 no mopping zones proves to be a challenge, with the app saying try again later. Something that you can’t get past. Attempting to monitor the vacuum, sometimes results in the progress map going away, which I can maybe attribute to the robot being far enough away from its docking station that it looses connection to the dock? Losing the 2.4 WiFi connection does not seem plausible since it travels the farthest in the house and I have split SSIDs on a WiFi 7 router. Once the progress is gone, you are no longer able to view it. Which seems strange to me, since the vacuum is still running off dead reckoning and lidar to know its position and should still be updating via the app. There seems to be some sort of disconnect with what the app is saying and what the vacuum is doing. It’s a great concept but the execution needs refinement..

First I already own two roomba, was replacing the one with the 405 plus. Received on the end of March, it’s two weeks into April and still not working properly. Spoke with customer service 3 times, same problem, not mapping the whole house, and not responding to app. Bought directly from Roomba, who said I can get a replacement as soon as they get in stock, but have no idea when that would be, but if I had purchased on Amazon my replacement would have been delivered in two days. I’ve paid too much money for something that doesn’t work. I’ll be returning this to Roomba, hopefully my refund won’t be delayed. Really disappointed by this product and the process of correcting the problem.

This app makes using my we roomba impossible. Also, a lot of promised features missing. I wish I could use the classic app for the new roombas.

10/10 app. Not only is it more responsive, but the products it works with are so much better.
