Roomba Home

my roomba keeps combining rooms together and ruining my automated routines :(

awful it doesn't save rooms correctly. it's slow and just terrible. I can't wait to buy a different brand. I HATE roomba.

sucks

was always losing connection

☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️My roomba is now getting fixed at the brand for the 5 th time since i bought it 6 months ago. HORRIBLE brand. Terrible customer service too.

the robot is good but the app is buggy. are most days it works pretty good but there's some days where once it starts its trying to figure out what room it's in. so while it's reading the room it's running around the room like a madman until it finds out exactly where it is. after that is pretty great it cleans so well. but I don't know why it always takes forever to figure out where it is

latest update is annoying and invasive. Why do I need; Bluetooth, location and wifi on just to look at my app? Now the dock cleaning tray is always full with their latest October 29th update, I get more dock errors that ever. not sure the robot from this company is worth it.

Roomba is easy to use and does an excellent job of cleaning. The app controls everything and provides instant feedback on progress as well as detailed information about the device itself. Highly recommended! Update November 4,2026: I have been using my Roomba continuously and it performs flawlessly.

The app doesn't do the scheduling anymore it was working fine but now it's stopped. I have to manually push the button on the vacuum cleaner to get it started/cleaned.

My Roomba's software won't update past version 9.3.6. No matter what I try, including factory resets and everything in Roomba's troubleshooting guide, my 105 series vacuum won't install a new software version. I tried connecting to a network with a simple SSID and password, but no luck. Now it won't connect to my wifi network because it has special characters. Infuriating!

マップが実際と異なったり、勝手に部屋が消えたり、とにかく使い勝手が悪い

Not only is it not getting better it is getting worse, I just launched it out my front door, this is the worst. didn't think it could worse but it did, the app has been re designed, and it's worse. it also logs you out and you have to re log in and re setup a few things. I guess this company and the engineers don't actually use this product. the robot vacuum is not that good either, will never get this brand again.

It's slow, the app is so slow. Also, why do you require such a long password? don't answer that, there is no good answer. I regret the machine, but it's the only one available to purchase in Guam.

Compared to the previous app, this app is very unintuitive. Needs to be more like the old app for the previous generation where I can select a robot. Not a map.

Won't allow a proper room split. When mapping the house it leaves many areas as one big room. When trying to split it doesn't allow you to draw the lines you want. Very frustrating.

Garbage App. I have three 205's. Two of them will no longer connect, no matter what I do (reconfigure WiFi, factory reset and set up). Less than six months old. I'm switching to another brand after more than 10 years as a customer. The app is garbage and they just haven't kept up with the rest of the industry.

App asked me to factory reset the robot. Now it LOST ALL THE MAP. Folks! Don't waste your time. Roomba is going on bankruptcy. This is clearly visible both on their app and hardware. update: worst robot of the universe. couldnt handle DST. Im selling it for a cup of coffee. offline since 4 days.

I wasted an entire day today trying to get my 104 vacuum to reconnect to the Home app. it was fine last time I used it. I spent an hour trying to deal with customer support to no avail. I was on hold for nearly an hour too. Finally the tech wanted me to answer an email repeating everything I told him. Why wasn't I transferred? I did every single troubleshooting step suggested by the manufacturer and AI. The app didn't even have my model listed in the setup nor could it see the vacuum

app does not conect, I have reinstalled this many times, I have restarted my phone. I bought this Oct 1,2026 and the Roomba 205 combo worked very well with and without the app. 2 weeks later, it still wants me to re install the dust bin, after re installing seversl times. I have worked through the app wifi set up many times in the last week becsuse the app will no longer connect. I have checked my wifi settings and turned wifi off and on again. I am 75 and really like using my Roomba, however..

Great app.

My top of the line 705 combo now spins in circles. It travels fine with no mechanical issues, so it's an app problem.

won't open. try all the standard, uninstall/ install, power on/off

very easy to use.

super obnoxious the way you have to make routines, choose/update maps, and get it cleaning. although this may be more of an issue with my POS roomba and not this app. update 2mo later: DO NOT BUY. Especially mopping solution. it'll start say "unable to clean" or some bs, then dump your solution into the dirty tank. Wish I'd gone with any other brand. I gave it a second try but am too late to return sadly.

the links are a bit problematic and some of them don't work. after 3 days in contacting the help I still haven't been able to download a manual

this app is worse than the original. there must be a better solution.

too many tries to answer questions not necessary.

Love my Roomba!

Lots of info and works great.

Ever since the late July update the roomba has not been able to do a proper cleaning or dock itself. it just spins in circles and misses most spots. resolution options with customer service were not much luck either.

Flo does GREAT!!

A app funciona muito mal. O mapa não carrega e depois acaba por fechar. Estou a pensar em devolver

it says this app is for my model. but it never finds it. and the FAQ are completely useless. yes it's with wifi Bluetooth etc. still doesn't work

The app will not allow me to have both of my roomba vacuums at once.I have to add one every single time I want to use it

trouble connecting app to roomba. can't get app to work.

latest update made connecting much harder. roomba never seems to connect to Wi-Fi consistently. previous app version worked fine and connected almost instantly every time. this is probably some vibe-coded update, making it look worse and harming functionality.

I bought a $400 vacuum from these guys, which stopped working after nine months. They didn't honor the warranty. Will never buy another product from them again. Also, this app truly sucks.

I need to use it just through tablet assambled to wall, so i need horizontal view only, but the map is not clickable on horizontal view so the app cannot be used to select rooms to clean, this is high severity issue and app is not usable for me... i have several roombas, the interface is awful for managing multiple devices, not user friendly

Superior design coupled with ease of use. Responsive & uncomplicated. BRAVO.

can't get this app to load. not always. but often enough to can irobot. I will not buy another.

it is perfect!

Does not work with the 105 series. It forced me to download the old app

When I reach out for support, I said I got hacked a few days ago and they didn't do nothing about it

Utter garbage, it's worked twice in the 30 days I've owned it. App just spins in perpetual connecting status. Reboot, reset, doesn't matter. I'd be embarrassed to say I had anything to do with building this app and system.

app displays the message"roomba slow to start" and never start the job. Every time I need to uninstall app and use a now phone. This is third one.

The recent update(s) have caused issues with the map. It doesn't load while the vacuum is running and it doesn't list the room names in the event report.

Useless app and broken setup flow. Spent 3 days trying to pair a new Roomba Combo 115. App fails basic discovery, claims robot isn't found on the dock, and drops pairing. Reinstalled, cleared cache, used 2.4 GHz—nothing worked. Robot voice prompt tells you to press both buttons to factory reset, but the app and hardware freeze in an endless loop. Without pairing, the vacuum is a paperweight. Uninstalled.

This app is loaded with bugs. Some recent examples: - caught in loop where attempting to start robot, fails to start - unable to intervene on robot once underway, app stuck in thinking routine in progress - at times unable to connect to robot. whilst the robot cleans okay, the overall terrible app experience means that the robot is often unusable.

Please remake the whole app, I have the 105 and it sucks so much. the map should auto update, the roomba should have more vacuum settings, I should be able to make more then 2 no go zones before the app bugs out, also if I move 1 thing in my room my roomba shouldn't immediately get lost and tell me that I can't find where it is, and if I open a door and show it my closet I wish it would detect it and go in there, I bet if I took it apart and used my raspberry pi it would work 100x better

The app hasn't worked since the last update, keeps saying Roomba needs help. i can only start it from the Roomba but I can't do a routine from the app. App Still not working a month later. yep, I already messaged you all month ago before I posted this comment

horrible, and mopping doesnt work anymore

Easy to use, works great, assists in ensuring your Roomba is operating as it should.

app is confussing. I get errors deleting old automation. not user-friendly

Return your roomba immediately, this thing has a mind of its own, the app is trash. roomba randomly does its own routine including mopping carpet. It changes cleaning routines after settings are selected for on demand cleanings and frequently gets lost for on demand cleanings requiring multiple restarts.

Very poor user-friendliness. The app doesn't allow the user to set vacuum-only as a default. The vacuum won't work if a no-mop area overlaps a cleaning zone. If mopping is included in the setting for cleaning, the vacuum won't go over rugs, etc. You can't set a routine to run without specifying a time. This means every time you want to use the vacuum you need to go through unnecessary steps in the app. It limits the convenience of the product, which should be the greatest strength of a robot.

your latest update completely broke my Roomba. now it just tells me connecting. it doesn't remember the Wi-Fi so whatever you did undo it because it's useless now. it's on its dock.. it's charging and it's still losing power. I shouldn't come home to find it at 14% battery.

Requires Precise Location, which is not necessary for the apps operation.

often I get frustrated using the robot. I spend more time in the app than starting the task myself. app is constantly making some changes like changing the orientation of the map, not saving properly my routines, or showing that the robot is disconnected. For a while I couldn't use my routines , and the cleaning history just disappeared.

Easy to use interface, easy to understand and I find it user friendly!

Everytime offline! I spend usually everytime I want to use vacuum cleaner 30 minutes by reconecting to wi-fi... Design of the app is everytime different, it's confusing! I add 200€ extra money for this super brand but functionality is worst than cheap Chinese cleaner! is there anything I can do it with it?

horrible app

Excellent App

easy to understand and works well.

great product and software so far

very helpful.

Gradually getting worse. This robot does whatever it wants and not what I ask it. Today it decided to mop my carpet, it's drenched, I used the app to select vacuum only apparently it doesn't matter.

I guess it works. but the company pushing its actual operating name to whatever password Vault you use makes this thing completely useless. there is nothing in my Vault that says iRobot or Roomba. and there's no way I'm going to remember whatever silly holding company you guys have it set to

Horrible app. Horrible product. Horrible company to deal with. Do not buy! Bought the latest Roomba/IRobot. it cant handle anything bar square rooms with no furniture and thats if it gets out of its dock without saying there's a fault with its dirty water bin. Then it started melting the fittings in the dock so I sent it for repair...to Poland... didnt get it back for over a month and it still barely works. DO NOT BUY! I never post bad reviews but this product is a scam.

The app often times feels unresponsive, smart maps are bugged, you also can't delete a room to correct the map made by the robot in 2026 why? Edit: still cannot delete rooms that are not even there in the first place even after the big ui update, just LE ME CORRECT THE MAP

stop logging me out all the time

Every time this app updates, the roomba loses connection and will only reconnect by doing a complete factory reset. That requires remapping the house reprogramming all automations. Not an isolated event. This has happened 3 times in the 4 months I've had it.

User Interface is so bad! If I want to clean a single room, it is so difficult to do so.

units loose internet connection needs to be rebooted

awesome

a wall on my map was moved, now it won't clean the entire room and you cant adjust the wall without recapping the whole damn house

not responding, i don't know if it's the roomba or the app, but it's not responding.

it never works

exceeds my expectations

the app hangs a lot. it shows map loading for hours.. it's really difficult to do cleaning.. I wanted to post pictures, but doesn't got the option to upload.

The app is getting progressively worse with each update, which aleo appears to be affecting the performance of the machines during their cleaning cycles. For the money irobot charge for their products this is extremely poor.

very unimpressive. Roomba provides very little notifications, if it gets stuck there is little to no information. Having problems with Roomba loosing connection to Wifi, would be nice if there was an alert that the connection is lost and unable to completed automated routines. Feel like I wasted a ton of money on this robot.

everything i use it it won't connect to wifi and home page disappears. its wirthless

can't connect to Alexa, it says "You are not eligible to enable this skill due to geographical restrictions". edit: managed to connect it through "add device" option 👍

love my Roombas.

it's good, just sometimes doesn't connect

Does a great job. saves a lot of time.

simple to use and does a great job.

So easy to use .

excellent

THIS ROOMBA IS JUST GREAT, SO QUIET I HONESTLY FORGET IT IS GOING... THE MOPPING CLEANS BETTER THAN I EXPECTED,THE APP LETS YOU ACTUALLY WATCH THE MACHINE CLEAN... I LOVE MY MR BABA...

very easy to navigate and had no issues . I have been using it for few months.

this app is radically different from other roomba apps Ive used for other models. I dont find it user friendly. It is very difficult to set up different schedules or mapping areas

The app is very undependable, and is saying "connecting...." making it unusable about every other day unless I do a factory reset, which means that I have to map out the whole house again too. I am spending almost as much time babying my roomba as I was doing my own floors. I just spent $1,000 on this thing, I need it to work like it is supposed to. every time there is an update it goes crazy. I have only had this a week and during that week I have already had to do two Factory resets.

Roomba operated exactly as advertised. Quite an upgrade from my older model

The app just auto updated and deleted our entire house map. Very frustrating having to map the entire house again and edit the map. It shouldn't be able to delete a map at all

Love my Roomba.

It's easy to use yet still provides plenty of capabilities.

App crashes. High background and battery usage. This app is complete junk. Developer doesn't even try to fix issues. Save your money and stop buying these junk vacuums.

I've had the 405 for a little less than a year and it no longer works. There's been issues with the dirty water reservoir and warranty sent a new tank in hopes that it would fix the issue. It did not. Now it won't vaccum, just spins in circles. All of this started after the app updates. Not sure if it's related but it's coincidental. I've moved on to a Eufy brand.

the vacuum itself is a much better design than the old iRobot that I had. but as far as mapping goes it is far worse the vacuum gets lost constantly and the map rotates 45° every job that it does which makes it super confused when it's trying to vacuum the space. the robot will just go to the middle of the room spin in a circle and say it can't find the docking station. if they could get some of the programming with the mapping fixed it would be a very good contender for some of the top robovacs

+ series 500. 3.1.0 update does not handle special characters like it used to. Error on their part not to debug prior to release. Anyone would denonce not being able to use robust password beyong letters and numbers. Furniture got screwed from previous version, can't save updated furniture... Apart from that it runs well, though there should be more options to edit maps and areas. Don't hard reset the device, create a guest network with simple password. what was fixed on 3.2.0?

Deserves less than 1 star now! With the new update I can't choose different cleaning settings for each room in the routine. Every room has to be on the same cleaning setting which is very annoying. Before I could choose stronger suction in hallway but a regular one in bathroom. Now it's impossible. I'm really disappointed. Also my Roomba was able to use 75°C mop washing before but now the function is gone from the settings and the temperature was changed to Fahrenheit. Awful customers service!

The app is horrible... not intuitive at all and need to guess where to look in the app to even start any cleaning. it wouldn't be difficult to just have a "clean" button to start going that doesn't involve jumping through hoops.

a two years old toddler follows lines and draws floor plans better than this app. fails to follow walls and is impossible to manually adapt the walls, you cannot create a diagonal wall and doesn't identifies couloirs nor doors. simply anyone, if in a few tries (I've already tried today 15 times, no kidding) it doesn't provide with a good map, I'm returning the machine

Since the update, my roomba no longer connects to my home wifi due to special characters in my password. It is now a manual process each time to connect it to a Hotspot in order to run the roomba. It is faster for me to grab my vacuum then to struggle to connect the roomba. Seriously disappointed in this product. Please fix the app.

I have to agree with other bad reviews. This horrible update, now after 8 months of no problems with my 505 combo working and operating perfectly, now it's lost and not cleaning anymore. When the robot starts off the dock, the 505 does its typical calibration circle then thats about it. When the 505 struggles, i get an obstacle error. When you send it back to the dock, the robot can not even find that. Can i go back to the old update? That's when i enjoyed my 505 combo. Now i hate it!

I like the app. Tracking my robots' path helps me ensure it's taking the right path. There are a few little things, though. 1. I had an issue with Alexa connectivity so I deleted the Robot and started over. However, despite all my attempts to re-add it, Alexa doesn't see the robot anymore. It sees the second one just fine. 2. The app keeps renaming my Laundry Room to Terrace. I can't figure that one out. Thankfully it didn't affect the schedule. That's really it.

This app is complete garbage. Not intuitive at all. Frequent disconnects. Saved data, like room names and cleaning history doesn't persist / gets overwritten. App gets hung constantly and requires rebooting. You name it and this app sucks at it!

I have 5 Roombas that work beautifully on the old app. My new 705 will only work on this new app (and the other old robots will not work on the new app). Mapping is much better but the app user interface is almost useless. I want to see the robot's history (can't find that info at all). It is cumbersome at best to attempt to set up for it to vacuum one or a couple rooms without making it a schedule. I only started with this robot yesterday so hopefully it's just a learning curve.

Just keeps getting worse. Now, not only can I not combine rooms and zones into one routine like I used to be able to. I also frequently can't even get the app to work. It just spins nonstop while incorrectly reporting roomba's status. I wish I could just get the app from 6 months ago. It wasn't great but at least it worked and was before they took functionality away.

Do Not Waste money and time. absolute trash customer service support. contacted support after 5 month old unit wouldnt connect to wifi after auto update bricked its ability to handle a special characters. tried 2 fixes with "Dan" and when they failed he abruptly ended the chat. sent email saying advanced tech support will contact. never happened. since then only fake concern emails that ignore my frustration and problem and pretend i havent replied. im done. Going back to Shark.

Update: The latest update continuely gives me an error about needing reconnect to wifi only to give me an error message. This now happens when opening up the app and forces me out of my account. After several tries, it finally connects. While my network doesn't separate the wifi channels, it should at least let me login regardless if my irobot is having network issues.

The floor cleaning function stopped working. It just says that the robot is taking a while. Every control except cleaning the floors still works (such as dock controls, making sounds, etc), & we can make it manually spot clean, but the old, appless roomba at least still goes around the house on its own. The house cleaning robot no longer cleans the house.

This app doesn't work! Whenever I use the app to send out the vacuum, I always get a pop-up message says "Robot is responding slowly. please wait.". I waited but nothing ever happened.

Terrible. I had just gotten my login fixed for my year old Roomba, got routines set up and automated, new map etc. Within 2 months they have stripped it down to bare bones. The app works fine but you cannot edit an existing map. Absolute garbage. Everything looks and functions the same they just removed features for no reason

The app is a royal pain. I constantly have to reboot and reconnect the unit. I've had constant problems with this thing since I bought and set it up in January 2026. Once again I am checking if there's another update because it won't connect and work. I could have vacuumed my house twice today with the time wasted trying to make this thing operate.

Can't connect through my phone anymore. have to use my mobile Hotspot to connect my tablet to use it. keeps saying off line even after multiple reboots. My map went away, had to do another one. It just stops and says need attention.

App is awful. You can only setup routines. There is no quick clean option. There is no way to force it to empty it's bin. The directions on the website reference a completely different app or version. Good luck if you need support.

they broke it again, apparently testing isn't something iRobot has invested in much. I simply told it to skip a room and instead, it sat there and did nothing but keep the motor running, wasting its battery. when I finally realized it was confused I cancelled the job but it got lost and couldn't even find its charger.

App uses to work fine and never had issues using it until later this year when they released an update requiring more permissions to use it. Now the app hardly loads properly and the times that it actually does load, it won't connect to my roomba despite the multiple reboots and factory resets that I've done when asking for assistance to fix this issue. And since my roombas buttons are locked, I can't even clean with it now because of the app not working. Completely Unacceptable

My 200S hasn't run properly since the last software update. It just spins in a circle. It will make a new map with no problems, so it's not a mechanical problem, it just can't read the map to clean anymore. And I can't get through to tech support- waits are 30 minutes or longer on the phone and no one responds to emails. It's become a very expensive dust collector.

App is worse and worse every day. Its so difficult to navigate and a ton of connection issues. Used to be able to select rooms and cleaning type, now you need to create 20 different routines to clean. Annoying. Once this robot kicks the can Im leaving Roomba and taking my $ elsewhere. Had 3 robots in less than 2 years because of different hardware/network issues.

Since the last update my device spins in place unable to locate itself on the map. iRobots bankruptcy was well earned. I received a response from the app team. I appreciate the effort; however, every contact I've had with iRobot has been frustration. The app has been in various states of unusable for near 2 years (despite previous feedback given, I believe the app has devolved into a data capture portal vs a user experience manager.) Thank you no...

Seems to have connectivity issues, often never connecting. Not sure if the issues are with the app or the robot itself, which is why I'm giving it 3 stars rather than 1. I had already gotten a RMA to return the Roomba then, I found that switching my phone to cellular or another network seems to solve the problem. At least for now.

The app and Roomba 105 were working great, untill this new update. It took forever to get the Roomba to resync with the wifi and multiple factory resets. Having to redo the map several times, and redoing the routines. Now, the Roomba will not clean a room, it will sit and turn round and round. It also gets confused with corners. It is now even 2 years old. Please fix this update soon. I will not be recommending this app or Roomba.

UPDATE . the app is not working for me it still wants me to install mop. i didn't want to mop. now my mapped rooms are disappearing. customer support went so far as to send me a new Roomba, which i greatly appreciate, but it didn't change anything. that tells me it is the app. please fix the app so it can be used. . not a very organized app. it's contents are scattered. hard to find what i need at any given moment.

the new app update has not been good. when the base runs out of mop water it doesn't even say. it just aborts the scheduled run and goes home and says it was successful. if you look at the map it shows it didn't do all the rooms but it still says it finished successfully. also some days the map just doesn't fill out at all. or it didn't run and doesn't say why. And the spelling mistakes too -- "intterupted." Did anyone test this?

my app doesn't have access to mop on my vacuum, the options to do one or the other is gone or both at the same time. UPDATE: The app is now working, it now has all options listed thathad previously been there,not sure what happened but thank you for the quick response.

this app really is a polished turd. honestly initial set up was fine. after that it has been constant app crashes, app losing complete data. multiple roomba factory resets to get both the app and the vacuum resynced. if I had one piece of advise, set thr roomba up, set up your vacuum schedule and then after that if the app breaks or your account looses all stored settings, your roomba should still vacuum on schedule regardless of the app.

I now rate this ad horrible. the update left the device off WiFi, I had to login once again and in the end I had to fully reset the device to reconnect it. worst part is it now requires the mop pad to be installed when only vacuuming, which now causes the Roomba to get stuck where carpet ends as it catches on the edge of the pad. why was that necessary? I do have to fill the unit before mopping anyway.

while the roomba itself is OK, this review is strictly for the app, which is in all honesty terrible. It regularly needs me to reset the roomba and reconnect it to wifi. Even the automation scheduler which is set to 3 days a week most of the time will only do 2 days and skip the third day. EDIT: now the app almost can never connect to the roomba. none of the automations work, requiring me to go up to the roomba and press the button to make it actually clean. I wish I could return the roomba.

I really dislike this app. With the recent update, I can now force the robot to empty the dustbin when it is docked (yay), but I can no longer actually use the "routines" I carefully created to clean rooms in the order I want, remove rooms easily, or basically anything to control how the robot works for me in a personalized way.

I would rate this latest update as minus stars if that was an option. My previously set up routines no longer work, it is now painful to set the thing going as you need to create a routine first and there is no one off options, and also the suction on the robot when I do manage to get it going is pitiful despite set to high. I have spend half the afternoon fighting with it. For something I purchased to make my life easier, it has been nothing but headaches and issues.

Constant problems connecting to my Roomba. I have a Roomba 105, and it will be unable to connect to the vacuum once a week. the only way I can fix this is by removing and adding my Roomba again. since the most recent update, it won't even save maps after removing my Roomba!

The apps stopped working fgs. So yesterday I went to start my robot vac up and the screen just kept saying that it was trying to connect to the robot vac. It wouldn't connect so I reset the robot and attempted to add the robot again to the app and it's stuck on trying to verify the WiFi password now. The only thing I can think of is the developers have updated the app and it's caused these issues. Fgs why tweak something that was working. Now I can't use the robot vac until this is sorted.

update new app update is even worse. i lost the map of one floor and its even harder to edit no go zones. Awesome 705 vac but the app needs work you are able to create routines/cleaning jobs and select rooms but there is no way to name the routine/job ex. it will only display ....smart clean 3 rooms I"d rather be able to save a routine with a name like Kitchen which would mean kitchen, pantry , hallway the vacuum itself is amazing- many positive improvements from my previous irobot

Having to comply with how I secure my home network because iRobot doesn't understand special characters in a wifi password is a joke. we are way too technologically advanced for this. fix it. Shark doesn't have this issue/requirement

When I build a routine and choose rooms vice full, it lists them in the numeric order that I want them cleaned for the entire house. After saving, it reverts them to full and does the room the roomba is in first, which should be last. If I only select a couple rooms, it keeps the order I want them cleaned in. Please fix this bug.

After the update this is junk. skips rooms, always says network unstable, and check the robot. If this had been the app it came with i would have sent it back. its not set to mop but will not clear mop not installed. the history, who thought that list was a good idea?

Automation doesn't work at all in this new app. The classic app was 10 times better and more user friendly. You can't erase old maps. The robot 705 is not efficient either. worst IRobot we have ever had. thus is our 4th, and our last. Sad to see a good product get worse and not better.

I was really pleased with this set-up but the latest revision of the app has rendered it unusable. I can no longer navigate between the different areas of my home, and can only see one of them. I have two robots: two of my automations are configured to occur at the same time, but the automations now disallow more than one to happen at once, despite the app allowing for multiple robots. Please do proper user-testing before deploying software updates!

when you think it can't get worse, after the usual aerobics routine to reboot the machine to hope it connects to the network for one clean, since the app upgrade it won't connect at all. good job

Every other time we want to use the vac, we have to reset it or reconnect it. It's become so inconvenient when the point of having it is for convenience. Ordering parts used to be simple but now you click to order a specific part and just gives you the generic site pop up, so you need to remember what parts you need, look for them and make sure they're the right ones. Oh but wait, we can't even get that far because the pop up leels saying the browser isn't compatible. It's a pop up from app!

iRobot has updated this app on my phone last night. In addition to my clean zones it's added it's own clean zones that now overlap MY clean zones. As a result I can no longer choose MY zones, only theirs. There is no way to delete them. There is no longer a list to choose from, you can only choose from the map. Who at iRobot IT is actually using this app instead of having deep thoughts in a conference room?

I've been using the new app for a couple months. It's ok, better than the previous generally, but with a recent update it got rid of the option to start a job without having to create a routine. For ex., if I just want to clean 1 room, I now have to create a saved routine that is named... it is SUPER annoying and I wish they would bring back the option to just do one-off jobs (quick start isn't solving the problem either). It also doesn't clean in the order that you input, which is frustrating!

Update...thus latest update is even worse. The app won't even create a map! so, now I can't do anything with this thing. And the techs are unhelpful and even rude. I finally gave up and ordered a regular vacuum! Since the upgrade this app is totally useless. It keeps losing connection, and the process for recovering it is lengthy and insane. Why do they insist on breaking what isn't broken? The app worked perfectly before the upgrade. My automations no longer work. Worthless!

Constantly loses the map and makes you recreate it. This also loses boundaries. Also loses custom cleaning settings randomly. Even the cleaning history is empty at random, even if I ran a cleaning cycle that same day. Never know what you're gonna get when you open the app, I don't understand why they struggle with it so much

The new version is very difficult to read. The font is so much smaller than before. I am a woman over 75 and larger fonts are easier for us seniors to see. Roomba's are also made for us the consumer. I am disappointed in trying to reconnect my Wi-Fi when I had it before.

are you frickin kidding me?! I spent hours setting this thing up to map my house. it worked fine. I left for a few weeks and got a message saying it was having connection issues. when I got back it wouldn't connect no matter how many times I rebooted it reset it. finally tried adding a new robot which worked but it forgot my map. what?!?! this thing is headed for the dump

If I could rate this app, and product zero stars everywhere online, I would. Why can't you all leave stuff alone when it doesn't need to be fixed? After this last update, the vacuum forgets where it's at constantly, has issues going home, crashes into everything, goes off track, even down to what it says has changed. All of which it NEVER, ever, did until the new update. Fire whoever green lit whatever got changed, and revert back to the previous version. This new version is trash.

The app no longer loads my map and I can no longer control the Roomba. I've cleared the cache on the app, updated the app, and reset the Roomba. None of these steps have worked. Roomba used to be a great product, my old Roomba worked great for years before it died.

This WAS a great app until the new update dropped. It doesn't like to function and there's spelling mistakes everywhere now, but the functionality of it has completely tanked. I didn't have any issues with it until then, and it WAS 5 stars.

everything was great in the beginning, the first year, until recently. My Roomba doesn't register to the app anymore. Randomly vaccumes the floor at all hours of the day. I had to power it off. Very frustrated, don't know what to do with it 😡

Spammed by "You have an important message waiting in the app" notifs for days only to get an infinite loading screen every time I open it. I then realized the floors are looking progressively worse, and that the robot straight up stopped his routine. Whatever the recent update did apparently broke our Roomba, ending a multi-day troubleshooting session in having to factory reset our Roomba and losing all floor maps. Can't wait to deal with this next patch. Thank you, iRobot, very cool.

I bought this in December 2025 and for a time it worked really well. Somehow in 8 months what used to do a great job is now an unusable hunk of plastic after the most recent update. Ive had to reconnect the robot to the app or the wifi every time I want to use it. What kind of product gets updated and then suddenly cant do its most basic function? Also, now requiring your precise location to "locate the robot" which then gets shared with third parties is unbelievable. Its a vaccum. Do better.

This newer app was already more problematic than the older model (crashes more, robot disconnects from wifi, takes longer to complete tasks, etc). However, since the most recent update, I can no longer customize routines like before, & it won't run without precise location on - AND it says it may share this data. Why??? I will NEVER buy another Roomba, don't waste your time or money.

App does not work. Just bought the Roomba 1010 today. The app will not finish the set up. It keeps failing on connecting to the cloud. Checked the wifi setting and it is connected to the 2.4 and NOT the 5. I'll be returning this and getting a different brand.

I'm not sure what is going on but this recent update on Aug 10 is tragic... I do really love my Roombas, but this update makes selecting areas much more difficult than before. Also, adding or changing furniture on the map is so painfully slow and most times there's an error when trying to save. This is so disappointing.

my roomba won't vacuum/map after this last update, not even during my routines. or going into the app to try and tell it to clean. the roomba itself will say that it's about to clean, but the home and power buttons will flash red and won't move. no errors show in the app, but I'll get a notification that roomba completed a "mission". this update essentially turned my roomba into a door stop. I can get it to do a standard clean by pressing the power button. roomba 205 dustcompactor

App getting worse and worse. First limiting maps to 3, though,used to be unlimited. Now, on every app launch, I'm in-app trying to force giving the app location permission. I disabled in-app notifications, and it still shows the message. I know how those kinds of in-app messaging works - it's not hard to fix, so it seems like intentional forcing users to give location data. At this moment, if I'd be buying a new device, I'd look for a different brand just to not have to use this app.

new update ruined the app. whoever decided on this layout is terrible at their job. they actively made the app harder to use. its honestly impressive how quickly they ruined the app. only took one update to the UI. also now the map never loads. I cant pause or stop routines in the app. the app barely works. this is God awful its useless. update: i ran a routine and the routine finished but the app still thinks its going. I cant cancel it pause it or anything. I literally cant use my roomba.

A terrible buggy mess. The app randomly resets itself, so you'll need to do the set up multiple times whenever it decides to just erase everything you've set up. The vacuum itself runs randomly, and ignores instructions. The quality of this product has dropped so badly lately. It's no wonder the company's gone under.

Just using the new application update of 8/10/26. I can't find where to reboot from my phone. the direction and guide doesn't work for this new update and I can't seem to be able to choose both a room and a zone together. if I go to zones I erase my rooms and the other way around and they disappear from the list of items that I want to clean. sometimes you want to clean a room and a zone and I can't seem to be able to do this. how do you reboot from your phone and how do you pick both

Since the last update (10 August), my Roomba combo 505+ is unable to mop correctly. I have cleaned the app's data and cache to no avail. It starts in a room and after washing 1 m or so it says it has to wash the mop and returns to the dock. Returns back to where it left, washes the same distance and repeats the same process over and over... Impossible to wash even a small room. Something is terribly wrong with the last update.

The map won't let you zoom in while editing, so if you have a large house it's like a pin, allow us to edit a map while zoomed in. the algorithm should allow it to map the furniture and ask if anything has moved. I have a cord across the floor and I can't make it a no go zone because it would be 2 feet wide, app won't let me rotate the squares. did you really just remove the cleaning history on the latest update? now we can't even see where it got stuck or didn't complete a job..

Not remotely close to ready for production. Updates take way longer than advertised, and both times hung the app. There's no way to remove a room (the space above my stairs is not a room). But most importantly the clean progress map just spins and spins and never loads, let alone displays it in real time.
