Endless loading

The endless “spinning wheel of death” (aka the loading screen) is not something you want to see when you’re trying to use your home security system.

Unfortunately, that’s pretty much all the ADT app gives me. It simply doesn’t work: the loading wheel spins endlessly, with no error message and no way to access the alarm controls.

For a security app, reliability isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the whole point.

Not easy to use

Terrible layout, confusing, features and settings hidden away and hard to find or understand. Cant record/download clips as and when you need, the geofence rules not easy to understand - I’ve had to leave it as the engineer set it as I’m worried I may accidentally disable something. I somehow managed to get a voice warning on one the cameras, but for the life of me I can’t find the setting to disable that again. If you are used to Ring and HIKVision app (which is incredibly logical and easy to use) you will find this app confusing and illogical. Kinda put me off ADT if I’m honest, you have to trust what the engineer has done and leave it at that unless you spend hours testing and figuring it out for yourself. Also to add, in an emergency ADT can’t even access your camera so they have no idea what is going on the property, all they do is call you, you have to check for yourself and call the police. Rubbish to be honest. My Rung cameras does practically the same thing. Would get Verisure next time as they can see what’s going on - tell you if a car has pulled up to your drive and read you the number plate and call the police if needed + their app is easy to use. I have HIKVision in a commercial property and Ring cameras in another house so I can compare and Verisure on almost all my family properties. Not a happy fella.

Add to account management

Cancel contract

Poor equipment, poor customer service.

Batteries drain in just a few weeks. AI assist is of no help.

Too complicated

This is the worst app I use. Features are not easy to find. Very difficult to set recording rules.

App usage

It’s a rip off you pay so much money for a service that you are not receiving and please do not sign in to a contract as you will get ripped off.

Please update the icon

Please can they update the app seriously! £50 a month and the app looks neglected!

Rubbish app

This app is absolutely awful if your camera picks someone up you click on that camera and it take forever to load by the time it loads If it don’t time out who ever is there have gone this app it a nightmare @ADT do something about this app look what people are saying we are paying for a service and getting nothing

Slow

This app is so slow you click on a camera to view it by the time it loads the person that activated the trip while has gone

Very slow rarely connects

The app is poor, really slow, rarely connects first time, would not recommend for a ‘speedy’ check on your property

Awful app, awful company

Unreliable app, dreadful system constantly breaking and poor customer support on so many occasions. AVOID ADT

Rubbish

Does not work!!!

Rubbish app

Often you can connect to it. Slow, buggy and old fashioned.

Terrible

Awful

Poor

Only works sometimes. Gave it one star because I couldn’t give it zero

Useless

The app takes so long to open, by the time it does, the person who rung the doorbell has left..
absolutely rubbish.

Slow operating

The app takes ages to connect so when trying to arm or disarm the alarm, whether at home or away, takes around5 minutes.

This is basically all I use the app for, and it is bad at doing it so 2 stars

Not a great app

Every update seems to bring less usable functionality

Latest update is no exception

Not very responsive - Slow App

The app is very slow and takes long to load doorbell and other cameras from Mobile App and also Panel.

Basic good but complex

Not easy to set up rules for camera trip wires - AI object recognition boot good - would have expected more
