Recent redesign makes IFTTT a pain to use
As the title says. My main issue is there doesn't seem to be a way to view active/inactive recipes. So in order to see what I have set up, I need to remember exactly the services I'm using with it and look under those. This is an obnoxious design patterns that just adds steps to whatever I'm trying to do. Also the create applet button: hidden under the "get more" menu. I hope you like looking at the entire list of connected services because some designer somewhere figured that should be the app's main view.
Visually the redesign looks great, but it's really frustrating to use.
Overall IFTTT's functionality is still nice (like a more casual Zapier), but my intensifying feelings of frustration every time I touch it make me want to stop using it entirely.Show lessStartupSam
Useless. Broken.
I was under the impression I would be able to create and customise NEW rules based on what I wanted. There appears to be no such option besides searching a bunch of random stuff someone else has created. Upon launching the app, when I tried to scroll, the initial touch to the screen for the scrolling would trigger some link to open. Absolutely infuriating and impossible to use. This ‘overlay’ screen with the swipe indicator at the top was completely unresponsive and refused to exit the search screen, even after restarting the several times. Maybe it’s iOS 13 that’s destroyed this app?
EDIT: I found the button to create my own buried down in the feed of things I wasn’t looking for. Seems to work okay now.Show lessSimone Genevieve
Hopeless geo location
I use IfTTT to close my gate once I leave home. It’s geo location is so poor it keeps firing, thereby closing the gate, while I’m standing in my yard. Tried resetting the location several times but it just shows me drifting outside my area while I’m not actually moving. I don’t have any issues with Waze or any other mapping software using the same phone. Just IFTTT. It’s dangerous. I had to disable it as today it misfired closing on my wife’s car as she drove out through the gate. It will ends up injuring someone.Show lessQF pilot
Latest version is extremely frustrating and buggy
You cannot browse all your Applets anymore in one place. You cannot enable or disable applet notifications using the iPhone app anymore and the help article showing a screenshot of where that control should be is not there, at least for the applet I tried to disable notifications on. Tapping on a notification does not lead you to a page that is at all useful. The tapped notification and then disappears and it is nearly impossible to find the applet associated with the notification unless you remember which services it uses. Submitting a problem is an exasperating experience that tries your patience. You end up in an endless loop. All in all, what should take a handful of seconds takes over a half hour and ultimately results in not being able to accomplish what it is you tried to set out to do, Even though all you’re trying to do is turn off a notification of a specific applet. This latest version of IFTTT is much worse than previous versions.Show lesshepcat72-1
Cool life changing app
Not very many apps are as useful or relevant than this one. I use it to turn my HVAC, water heater, dryer and ice machine off when the price of electricity goes above 10¢ per kwh. I use it with Griddy, Honeywell Redlink and WEMO. I installed a WEMO switch that turns an outlet on. I have two transformers plugged e that outlet. The transformers power several normally closed relays. The relays are installed in my breaker panel and the circuits that use a lot of energy run through them. For the HVAC, I use a Honeywell thermostat with redlink.
The app has been dependable so far. Doesn't seem to need my phone to work properly.Show lessKeithbornmann
Once accessible, now not
Other blind people using VoiceOver on IOS were raving about this app, so I thought I'd try it. It seems that accessibility was completely broken in July or perhaps earlier. It's not just a bit less accessible. I cannot use it at all. In late July I read a mea culpa from the developer, as I recall, on AppleVis or some such, assuring that accessibility was a priority and would be restored. Not in the August update at least or so it appears.
Come on people! Let's see some credible steps. You apparently got it right once before after all. I look forward to revisiting this review/rating in the future.Show lessBen van Poppel
Great service but latest app impossible to navigate
Preface: I love this app. However our relationship is more difficult now that you made this app so convoluted. It used to be so simple. “Here are all your applets and here’s how to make a new one”. Now I’m shown some inexplicable services screen where to find my applet I have to remember at guess at which services it used and to manage any applet takes at least 3 taps if not 4 or 5. The “Get More” bar that comes up gets stuck every time and I have to kill the app to bring back my personal page, which is still just as vague and non-descript as it was before. Bring back the old design!Show lessNate the Great’s Hit Parade
Good concept but the app lets it down
Don’t like v 4.0 so I’ve not updated to it on my iPad (sadly did on my iPhone before I knew how bad it is). The app logs me out after every time I quit the app or shut down my phone and the new log in flow is a deal breaker. Has accelerated my move from IFTTT to Zapier with an amazing Zapier Webhooks integration in Shortcuts. Only thing I need the IFTTT app for now is location triggering - soon I may drop that too and delete this app.
3.7.8 was better than 4.0.0. Activity feed is harder to find, the main screen is not as good. And apparently I cannot access all my notifications now; either that or they are buried somewhere that I haven’t found yet. If notifications have been removed ... I generally dislike removal of perfectly good functionality for no reason.
IFTTT is a good concept - easy method of automation for a wide variety of apps. But the iOS app keeps letting me down. After a period of several days it logs me out so my location based trigger will fail to work. I have to regularly manually check I’m still logged in so it will trigger, but that almost defeats the purpose of automating it in the first place. In the past the app would stay logged in even if I turned my phone off. Now every time I turn my phone off or restart it it logs me out.Show less-d-w-
Genius App
Fantastic app, so many applications, only downfall is it seems to have a few glitches after the most recent rebranding / update.ubereatsdick
