Not so smart user of smart plugs.......

Apologies if advance for what might appear to be a numpty question, but I'm a child of the 50's lost in a modern world.....data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Have just purchased some "smart plugs" off of Amazon. These fellas....

It says I need to download the "Smart life" app but when I go into the Play Store to download it, about 6 or 7 apps come up with the same "Smart Life" name.
Does it matter which one I use, as I can't find one specific to these Avatar plugs.
Many thanks

I think they work with the Tuya app. There will likely be lots that say Tuya too, I’d just pick the top rated one (check in the Alexa app skills section) and try it.

Is there not a QR code to scan on the box?

If not I agree with the above.
