Leave a Review IFTTT
Hate the new layout
Fine to find existing stuff, but the big plus button we are all familiar with is gone. Dumb idea whoever decided to hide the easiest way to get things done. Bring back the big plus buttonJ-P NZ
Wow ruined
I have been with ifttt since day one like 8 years. I don’t know what you guys did or what is going on but I jumped into the website tonight and l couldnt figure out how to find a service and see everything it can do like I have for years. The website was so annoying and huge on my desktop felt like I was stuck in a mobile app on a 30 inch screen. Thought okay new interface I’ll come back later try to figure it out. I switch to the mobile app again completely stupefied. Everything is so different I can’t even figure out where the start from scratch or see what apps hooks are. It’s like the app is dumbed down so far it’s unusable. All I can use is other people recipes it looks like. So upset this app is ruined. Over to Zapier And integromat where they still respect the power user.Show lessTonyLewis
Inaccessible, please fix...
I used this a lot to integrate a lot of my smarthome products. So far, you have been great developers with wonderful results every time an update was made.
VoiceOver can't do much with lots of unlabeled buttons, and with the redesign, I might have to find another app now because there's lots of them. I can't even properly navigate to my applets anymore.
If something can be done about this, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time and dedication as developers. I know you are trying your best. Please just keep this in mind, thanks.Show lessstarlightpiano2013
Great new design but...
Let me start by saying this app is great and does so many amazing things for me. Functionally it’s a five star app.
The new design is great and simplifies so much of the app, but dismissing the modal view that slides up when you hit “Get more” is not intuitive. It doesn’t dismiss when you slide your finger down on the indicator which is how every thing in the OS works. You have to tap on it to make it dismiss. It took me at least 30-40 seconds to figure that out which is not good UX. Also, I don’t remember seeing an explanation of the new UI. Some might wonder where all of their automations went when you are only seeing the services. Maybe an option to choose how things are shown would help or an intro.
Again, great app. Couldn’t do so many things without it.Show lessMdub1987
Totally broke accessibility and voiceover functionality
Let me start by saying that IFTTT has been my favorite home automation app since 2012. I always think of it as the app that makes the impossible possible. This was one of the few apps that I would have been happy to pay for if it ever became a paid app. For the longest time, it was also very accessible to voiceover users — people who are blind and visually impaired who use the voiceover screen reader on iOS. Most interface elements had labels and you could get to any part of the app using the tabs at the bottom. The new app, however, broke all that. If you are using voiceover and you launch the app, all you hear, apart from the search edit box is “button button button button”. Within an update, this app went from being the miracle maker to being completely useless. Please, please please take a bit of time and bring back the accessibility labels — it’ll make a world of difference to so many people!Show lessatraveler
Same sad story.
Others have already called out the frustration of this new update, but it absolutely needs to be repeated…
- Nice looking UI, but now the information and function all feels even more obscured. Applet on/off toggle now has no color distinction and is smaller, so you have to really look carefully to see which ones are on or not. It’s a small detail, but why make something harder?
- You now have to drill down multiple clicks/screens to get at anything. Transitions are laggy. And even simple tasks feel slow and super labored.
- Now there’s no way to manually run an applet/recipe. Long pull down acts like some sort of “refresh” that would force an applet to run, but it doesn’t, or things are sooo very broken right now that it’s impossible to tell what it does.
- Applets only say what day and how many times they have run, but no longer say when (like “just now” or “3 minutes ago”).
When you combine the issues, especially from the last two points, it can really make it feel like this in now a prototype (like a concept car with good intent but no motor or drivetrain).

IFTTT has been a simple utility that was genuinely useful. Hopefully they’ll take note of all the one star reviews since the update and get the kinks worked out soon.Show lessgrant_ags
OG of Automation
after using IFTTT for almost it's entirety of its existence on iOS, I'm finally writing a review as I'm now recommending to clients in this over saturated world of "there's an app for that". IFTTT has run in the background and saved myself (and my no technically advanced family and friends) countless hours, dollars, headaches and has even made me a healthier more organized individual with only minutes of setup. I haven't lost a photo in almost a decade thanks to IFTTT and though the app has had some quirks with Google and Craigslist this past year it still trumps most apps it's age and is honestly an enormous reason to why I am as successful of a young, independent entrepreneur that I am today.Show lesssauceydigital
Awesome community making life easier
This app contains other developers making little applets you can activate to do different things e.g. I found a bot so that when I upload photos from Instagram, it automatically gets uploaded to twitter. You can also create your own applets and it is amazingWobeh
Very useful indeed but..
IFTTT is great, but there’s quite a few annoying bugs. 1. After you add a service, applet, widget etc. You are left at the same menu point and you have have tap back manually, and keep doing so to reach the top level of the menu - that’s weird design. 2. I got quite a few errors in the app across major smart home partners, e.g. Philips. Not sure what’s going on there. 3. It would better and clearer at least to me, to show service providers then drill down into applets. The other way round is a little confusing at first. Overall with these in mind this is a 3/5 app/service. Most service provider apps have shortcuts or widget anyway; so to stay relevant IFTTT needs to have a quality app, with excellent UX. I can’t say this is the case at the moment, perhaps a design overall would be good. 3/5 for me.Show lessd33m
App constantly logs out, won’t stay logged in
The app for iOS is completely useless as it constantly logsout and will not stay logged in.
I want to use the app for the location based triggers but these are completely hopeless with the app always logs itself out.
Get this logout issue fixed and it will actually be useful.thatskiff
