Doesn’t work AT ALL!!!

Honestly, this app does not connect to the fireplace via Bluetooth! I’ve done all kinds of troubleshooting trying to make this work and it just doesn’t. It is an absolute waste of time and VERY FRUSTRATING. If your looking for reliable connectivity via an app controlled fireplace look elsewhere.

Lack of security is baffling

There it's nothing stopping people from going around their neighborhood controlling people's fireplaces with this app. The fireplace password and settings are always reverting to factory default. So password 0000 can get you into anyone's fireplace. I'm surprised nobody's house has been burnt down by a firebug.

Terrible

App is glitchy, functionality is useless.
Doesn’t control the fireplace more than 80 percent of the time. Also no obvious solution to forgotten password.

Horrible App

The worst app. The app doesn’t connect to the fireplace easily and doesn’t always work.

Won’t connect

Bought an Altitude x 36 that was supposed to have eFire control. The app has never been able to find and connect to the fireplace. Big dud.

Bluetooth fails frequently

App continuously looses fireplace connect ability, even when remote not being used. Primarily used app, and only used remote when app won’t connect. Now that app can never connect to fireplace, can only use remote. Tried reinstalling app, rebooting phone, taking batteries out of remote, and nothing allows app to locate fireplace.

Excellent functionality no ability to reconnect

Functionality is amazing. Problem is once the factory remote is touched it locks you out from ever using to app again. Requires dealer technition service call to reset. Unbelievable inconvenient and poor planning. Using only one remote at a time for safety makes sense, no ability for consumers to switch between that one controller renders the app useless. You are forced to choose one phone or the remote, no ability to switch without dealer technition service call.

Junk

This app has never worked with our fireplace, it simply doesn’t see it!

Worst app ever

If you could give this app a rating lower than 1 star I’d do it. We have a napoleon fireplace and can’t use some of the setting because their only available on the e-fire app which never works. I’ve contacted napoleon about the problem and been told a new update would be released to fix the bugs, which never happened. So if you want the functionality of an app, don’t buy a napoleon!

Horrible app

We can not even use our fireplace. The app is useless!
When will there be updates for this app?
