Android

The recent redesign update is associated with a slight Android rating increase of +0.21 stars, bringing the average rating from 1.97 to 2.18 stars. However, this minor positive signal is offset by new pairing errors and hardware incompatibility issues that render some connected appliances unusable. The net verdict is neutral, as core camera connection issues and motion alert crashes persist, keeping the overall rating baseline low.
