meShare

Review by eFreeware

Smart home hardware rarely works well on its own. Cameras, sensors and similar devices usually need an app to configure them, check on them and tie them into whatever cloud service the manufacturer runs, and that app is often the difference between gear that fits well in a home and gear that sits in a drawer. meShare is one of those companion apps, published by meShare Support, and it is built for the company's own range of smart home products.

The pitch is straightforward. The app handles many smart home devices and links to meShare's cloud services, with the aim of keeping you close to the people you care about. That framing points at households rather than hobbyists: people who want to glance at a camera feed or check a sensor without assembling a complicated setup of their own.

What the app is built to do

At its core, meShare is a control layer. You use it to manage smart home products from meShare's catalog, and the company's cloud services sit behind that, handling the connection between the devices and the app. For a household with several meShare devices, that means one place to reach them instead of a separate app for each piece of hardware.

The app appears aimed at family-oriented uses as much as pure automation. Think of checking in on a room, keeping an eye on a shared space, or simply having a quick way to see what a connected device is doing. It is a companion for hardware you already own rather than a standalone service.

The app is free to download, and it carries in-app purchases alongside that. The app has no ads.

A refreshed interface in the latest update

The most recent update, dated October 6, 2026, brought two changes worth noting. The interface has been rebuilt for a cleaner and more intuitive experience, and overall performance has been improved. For an app that has been available since November 18, 2014, that kind of refresh matters: a control app is something you open briefly and often, so a tidier layout and smoother operation are the improvements that count most.

I would read those notes as a sign that the app is still being worked on rather than left as it was. Whether the redesign makes device management noticeably quicker is the sort of thing only use will tell, but a cleaner interface is a reasonable thing to promise for a utility like this.

The app is rated Everyone and sits in the Lifestyle category, which fits its role as a general household tool rather than anything technical or niche.

The trade-offs to weigh before installing

The biggest consideration is the ecosystem. meShare is designed around meShare's own products and cloud services, so its usefulness depends on owning that hardware. If your smart home is built from other brands, this app has little to offer you, and that is a matter of what it is built for rather than a flaw in the design.

The cloud tie-in is the other thing to keep in mind. The app works with meShare's cloud services, which is how the connection between devices and app is described. That is the model the developer has chosen, and it shapes what the app is: a cloud-connected companion.

The app has passed 100,000 installs, and its average rating sits at 2.4 from 4,142 ratings, with 2,043 written reviews. A score in that range suggests a fair number of users have found something to complain about, though the recent update may have addressed part of that. Either way, it is a figure I would factor into the decision rather than ignore.

A companion app for meShare households

The clearest audience here is people who already own meShare smart home products. For them, the app is the natural way to control those devices and to make use of the cloud services behind them, and the recent interface and performance work gives them a reason to take another look if they had drifted away.

For everyone else, the calculus is different. This is a free app tied to a specific brand's hardware and cloud, and its value comes entirely from that connection. If you are shopping for a general smart home hub that pulls together devices from many manufacturers, meShare is not that, and its narrow focus is the main thing to understand before you install it.

My recommendation is simple. If meShare hardware is already part of your home, install it and see how the refreshed interface feels; if it is not, there is no reason to add it to your phone.
