User reviews

Used to be good

Logs you out now. When you log back in and try to arm/disarm it doesn’t work. Restart app and it tells you it lost connection. Please fix this it used to be a great app!

Terrible User Experience

This app has become incredibly frustrating to use. I constantly have to log back in just to access it, which is unacceptable for an app I rely on regularly. On top of that, it often takes several attempts for my Z-Wave devices to respond. The inconsistency makes the system unreliable and defeats the purpose of having a smart-home app in the first place.

The app needs significant improvements to reliability, login persistence, and Z-Wave device responsiveness.

I like the convenience …. But

As the title says, I like the convenience that this App offers but as some other reviewers have experienced, it doesn’t load the first time I launch it. The first time, it gives me a blank screen. I have to close the App and relaunch it before it will load. In the past, it used to do this randomly but since the last update it seems to do it every time I try to launch Alula but now it usually precedes the blank screen with the login screen although most times that goes away on its own before it is replaced by the blank screen. Occasionally, I have to type in my password before I can continue. Once I close the App and relaunch it, it loads and works as it should. This behaviour is exhibited on both my iPhone and iPad where I have the Alula App installed.

No intuitive

For me it’s hard to navigate. I can’t go from recording to recording easily. Maybe there’s a way— don’t know what it is

Sketchy App

Your app has continued to get more and more sketchy with each iOS update. That is until the latest update after which it will not open at all!
Update: still unstable and no customer service!
