Aroma360: App-Enhanced Aromatic Experience?

Aroma360 diffusers can be connected to an app called ScentArea, which is available on the App Store. The app allows users to control their devices, view oil levels in real time, and customize essential oil types. However, there are several negative reviews of the app, with users reporting issues with connectivity, the app logging them out, and the need to frequently reconfigure network settings.

ScentArea app for iOS: customisation, security and control issues

The ScentArea app for iOS offers a range of customisation options for users to control their scent diffusers. Users can set different working periods, days, and times to suit various places and requests. They can also set the total capacity of the oil bottle, monitor the current oil level and oil consumption, and the machine can predict the remaining days of oil left. The app allows for group controls, where users can set equipment groups, customise group names, and add equipment to the corresponding group to facilitate group management.

In terms of security and control, the ScentArea app has some limitations. While the administrator can share operation rights through a mobile phone number or QR code, there are issues with the app logging users out and not remembering their details. This can be frustrating, especially when having to rename multiple units. The app also struggles with connecting to the device, with one user reporting that they have to reconfigure the network each time they want to use the app to control their device.

The ScentArea app has received mixed reviews, with some users expressing frustration over its performance and lack of control. However, it offers a range of customisation options for users to manage their scent diffusers, although improvements could be made to enhance the security and control aspects of the app.

Mini360 2.0: connecting to the app via iPhone

The Aroma360 app allows you to control your scent diffuser from your iPhone. You can download the app for free from the App Store. Once you have downloaded the app, you can control all of your diffuser's functionalities, including operating periods, scent intensity levels, and the internal fan. You can also power your diffuser on and off, adjust the operating periods, and control multiple machines with just one smartphone.

To connect your Mini360 2.0 to the Aroma360 app via iPhone, you will first need to make sure that you are next to your unit and can download the app. Then, open the app and click through the questions, making sure to allow the use of your location and local network.

There are two options for connecting to the app: AP Mode and Wi-Fi Mode. If you choose AP Mode, you will need to create a Wi-Fi signal from the diffuser, which will appear in your phone's Wi-Fi settings. Connect to this network using the password "12345678". Once connected, you will need to go through the setup process in the app, programming your settings. For this option, you must be within 10ft (3 meters) of the diffuser, and you can only program one diffuser at a time.

If you choose Wi-Fi Mode, you will need to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network, whether at home, work, or another location. You will need to know your Wi-Fi password to proceed. With this option, you can connect to your diffuser from anywhere in the world, but you must be near the unit to set it up initially. Wi-Fi Mode also allows you to connect to multiple units simultaneously.

Once you have selected your preferred connection method and completed the setup process, you will be able to control your Mini360 2.0 via the Aroma360 app on your iPhone.

ScentArea app: issues with connecting to the device

The ScentArea app allows users to control their scent diffusers, including operating periods, scent intensity levels and the internal fan. However, some users have reported issues with connecting the app to their devices.

One user has reported that they are "so unhappy with not only the application, but the service". They explain that it is an expensive machine and yet they are "not able to control it". The user goes on to say that they have been informed that the manufacturer is "trying to develop a new app", but in the meantime, the diffuser is operating at its highest setting, causing the user to have to "keep ordering oils".

Another user has reported that the app "connects and works", but that they have to reset the power to the unit to get it to connect "sometimes, pretty rarely". The user also reports that the app consistently logs them out, and that the app deletes the names of their units, which can be frustrating when trying to tell the units apart.

A third user has reported that they have been "trying to get this app to connect to [their] device off and on for two weeks", and that despite their efforts, the app "won't just link to the device". The user also states that their other device apps, such as Alexa and AirPods, connect without any issues.

To connect to the ScentArea app, users must first choose between AP Mode and Wi-Fi Mode. AP Mode creates a Wi-Fi signal from the diffuser that will appear in the Wi-Fi settings of the user's phone, to which they will connect with a password. Wi-Fi Mode, on the other hand, connects to the user's desired Wi-Fi network, allowing them to control their diffuser from anywhere in the world.

To connect in AP Mode, users must:

• Open the ScentArea app and click through the questions, allowing the app to use their location and local network.
• Click on AP mode, which will prompt them to connect and configure to Wi-Fi.
• Press and hold the UP button on the diffuser until it beeps or clicks about five times, then release the button.
• Connect to the Wi-Fi network named M50_AliOs with a series of numbers and letters by entering the password provided.
• Go back to the ScentArea app and click on AP.
• Once the app loads, select the desired options, including turning the unit on or off, locking the device, and setting the working mode.

To connect in Wi-Fi Mode, users must:

• Ensure they are connected to their desired Wi-Fi network and have their Wi-Fi password ready.
• Open the ScentArea app and click through the questions, allowing the app to use their location and local network.
• Click on Wi-Fi mode, which will prompt them to connect and configure to Wi-Fi.
• Enter their Wi-Fi password when prompted.
• Go back to the ScentArea app and select the desired options to control their diffuser.

It is important to note that the ScentArea app will not work on a 5G router. Users must ensure that their phone is connected to a 2.4G or WIFI6 router and that they have a strong Wi-Fi signal before attempting to connect to their scent diffuser.

ScentArea app: problems with remembering login details and device names

The ScentArea app gives you control over your Aroma360 scent diffuser. The app is free and available on the App Store for iPhone.

With the app, you can control your diffuser's functionalities, including operating periods, scent intensity levels, and the internal fan. You can also power your diffuser on and off, adjust the operating periods, and control the scent intensity level for each unique operating period. The app allows you to control multiple machines with one smartphone, and it has a one-click sharing feature that lets multiple users adjust the settings.

However, some users of the ScentArea app have reported problems with remembering login details and device names. This can be frustrating, especially if you have multiple devices or use the app frequently. Here are some tips to help you troubleshoot these issues:

• Check your browser settings: Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and compatible with the app. Outdated browsers may not have the necessary security features to remember your login details.
• Review your privacy settings: Tight browser privacy settings can sometimes prevent the app from remembering your login details. Ensure that you have allowed cookies from the relevant websites and that you are not using a private browsing mode, which doesn't remember your login information.
• Disable browser extensions: Certain browser extensions, such as ad-blocking or privacy plugins, can interfere with the app's ability to remember your login details. Try disabling any extensions you have installed and see if that resolves the issue.
• Check your Safari security settings: If you're using an iPhone, your Safari security settings may impact the app's functionality. Go to Safari > Preferences > Privacy tab and adjust your settings to allow cookies from websites you visit or third parties and advertisers.
• Contact customer support: If none of the above solutions work, reach out to the app's customer support team. They may have additional suggestions or be able to help you troubleshoot the issue.

By following these steps, you may be able to resolve the issues with remembering login details and device names in the ScentArea app. It's important to ensure that your devices are recognised so that you can fully control and customise your Aroma360 scent diffuser experience.

ScentArea app: poor user experience

The ScentArea app has received overwhelmingly negative reviews from its users, with many citing a poor user experience. One user describes the app as "low-end and cheap", despite the high cost of the accompanying unit.

A common issue is the app's failure to remember user information, such as device names and user login details. This results in an inconvenient and frustrating experience, with users having to rename devices and log in to the app repeatedly. The app also appears to have translation issues, with some screens in Chinese and others in English.

The app also fails to perform its basic function of connecting to the user's device. One user describes having to reconfigure the network every time they want to use the app to control their device, and even then, it rarely works. Another user describes the app as "garbage" and a "huge pain point in my life".

The ScentArea app has clearly caused frustration and disappointment for its users, who feel that it does not meet the standards expected of an app associated with an expensive product.
