Companion apps were stress tested on both iOS and Android. We never accept manufacturer loans or paid placement.
Newest reviews appear first; older write-ups remain available with a dated note if firmware updates change our verdict. For a wider view of every smart appliance we have tested, the main archive covers every category from smart TVs to robot vacuums. Each article cites the firmware version, test duration, and app version used so you can match our results to your own setup.
