A missed opportunity. – PowerBase Review

This app is my only disappointment with the Purple company (I have the purple 4 mattress, the PowerBase and the pillow). The app offers nothing that can’t already be found on the base’s remote. It would be more convenient to use the app instead of reaching for the remote, however the options found in the app are simply dumbed down versions of what the remote offers. I can turn the massage on, but I can’t adjust the intensity. I can adjust the position of the head and foot of the bed, but I can’t save them as presets. There is no alarm feature (which would have been great). Smart home connectivity would also be a lot of fun. But none of that is offered. The idea of a bed connected to an app opens it up to so many exciting opportunities, and Purple hasn’t even attempted to explore those opportunities. I would expect nothing from Purple had they not created an app, but they did. And this app is the best argument against its own existence. The interface isn’t even optimized for the iPhone X screen. However I will say that the Bluetooth connection has worked flawlessly for me.
