### 2/5 — Cannot keep logged in on more than 1 iPhone

*2026-08-31, version 6.4.0*

Logging in on one iPhone automatically kicks me off on another, super annoying.

### 2/5 — Questionable product

*2026-08-10, version 6.3.9*

Out of four sensors one did nothing at all. I threw it away bought another one. Amazingly that one doesn’t connect either. Obviously I won’t be buying anymore Aquara products.

### 3/5 — Сигналы присутствия

*2026-08-08, version 6.3.9*

Датчик присутствия через синхронизацию сцен и сигналов отображает присутствие ровно одну минуту. Раньше было всё нормально. Исправьте. Датчик FP2, хаб M3

### 2/5 — I wanted a 24hr camera (and app), not a part time one.

*2026-07-30, version 6.3.8*

I won’t be buying a Aqara product again. The doorbell and app are rather too partial to ‘Network Errors’ for my liking — which is a brilliant name for an error considering everything else on that network is working perfectly.

2 stars — because it’s a good product when it works. It just always likes to discover a Network Error whenever I need it the most.

### 2/5 — App crashing

*2026-07-26, version 6.3.7*

In the last update the app does open-it crashes instantly as soon as we open it

### 1/5 — Latest version immediately crashes if WiFi is enabled on phone

*2026-07-25, version 6.3.7*

There’s no way to contact support 🙄

### 1/5 — Broken Apple HomeKit features on 4.5.45 firmware

*2026-07-24, version 6.3.7*

I recently purchased Aqara G100 mainly for the Apple Homekit integration. So the device unit originally shipped with firmware 4.438 had all features working smoothly in Apple Homekit except for the flipping the image 180-deg that can only be done in the Aqara app. But, everything went downhill after I updated the firmware to 4.5.45 and lost all features such as Recording Audio, Night Vision, Spotlight. Who knows maybe more that I’m not aware of. So for just the Apple Home integration reason I rate this product as 1 Star. Maybe this is the direction that Aqara wants to go so that its products remain within Aqara app and not being controlled by Apple Home. In that, I must decline.

### 1/5 — DO NOT UPDATE ON IPAD

*2026-07-24, version 6.3.7*

Updated to the latest version (6.3.7) now the app won’t open on my iPad, you get the splash screen then it quits back to springboard within a second, unable to view my cameras now, useless!!!

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2026-07-24, version 6.3.7*

App crashes constantly, very non user friendly, don’t want to have 6 digit pin to unlock and there’s no option to change that.

### 1/5 — App crash

*2026-07-24, version 6.3.7*

The latest version will appear crash when open app

### 1/5 — Update Constant Crashing

*2026-07-23, version 6.3.7*

Updated the app to the latest software and the app now crashes as soon as it opens. Can’t use any of the features on the app. I would have expected better from a company the size of Aqara. Absolute shambles.

### 1/5 — Latest Update Crashes Cannot Open App

*2026-07-23, version 6.3.7*

Current update for 7/22/2026 crashes with latest version of iOS 26. Not sure what but please revert back.

### 4/5 — Crashing App

*2026-07-23, version 6.3.7*

New update crashed the app but before that all good

### 1/5 — Beware: update crashes on launch

*2026-07-23, version 6.3.7*

This update crashes on launch.

### 1/5 — Software ok. Hardware is not

*2026-07-08, version 6.3.6*

I have the u200 door lock, I am a recluse and hardly go out. Yet the gears broke in 4 months, sent a warranty claim. Been weeks got a response I will revive a replacement in 5-8 weeks.
July 7 2026, Lock had been replaced free of charge, the new one did the same thing, I can shake the lock and hear the gear pieces rattle. Time to get a different brand

### 2/5 — No dark mode

*2026-07-05, version 6.3.3*

This app is unbelievably difficult for my aged eyes to use. How about a little contrast instead of light grey on white? Maybe even a dark mode? Or at least an option for larger fonts? I really love aqara home devices but this app is an assault on the elderly.

### 1/5 — So bad

*2026-07-05, version 6.3.3*

Worst app ever, very laggy and all the time crashes

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Barely wants to work

*2026-08-15, version 6.3.9*

Not a fun experience. Doesnt detect existing accessories. Lots of network errors. Pushing ai bs on us. Not good.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2026-07-31, version 6.3.8*

This is one of the worst device I have ever used.

I never get a notification when a package is left or if someone is at the door. 

Oh don’t talk about trying to access the live video while being out of the house. It doesn’t load says failed to load.

### 1/5 — Ios26.3

*2026-07-30, version 6.3.8*

The apple home is now completely blurry and constantly stops and starts, nothing is getting recorded since the update

### 1/5 — Latest version won’t open. Loads most of the way then crashes

*2026-07-27, version 6.3.7*

Usually reliable app that works well, but, since the latest update, it won’t fully open. 
Hopefully this will be fixed soon. 
iPhone 14 running current version of iOS.

### 1/5 — Latest version broke

*2026-07-27, version 6.3.7*

Last update (4d ago) broke the app completely. Can’t even open app. It just crashes.

### 1/5 — App crashes on launch

*2026-07-26, version 6.3.7*

App used to be great…now can’t even launch app before it crashes. Aqara you need to fix this ASAP

### 1/5 — Crash-Zika

*2026-07-25, version 6.3.7*

Unusable.  Crash once you open it.

*2026-07-25, version 6.3.7*

Can’t use the app at all after this latest update!!!

### 1/5 — App constantly crashes after last update

### 5/5 — :)

*2026-08-13, version 6.3.9*

Love it

### 5/5 — Great App, Tons of Features

*2026-07-22, version 6.3.6*

As a HomeKit user, most of my interaction is with my devices through HomeKit, but it's always good to pop into the app and check out any new features and make sure some of the deep settings are correct. Very easy to use. Great devices and a great app.

### 5/5 — Great product!

*2026-07-12, version 6.3.6*

Aqara has always been extremely reliable for me. Phenomenal that it integrates with HomeKit so nicely.

### 5/5 — Home guardian

*2026-06-22, version 6.3.3*

Please: Make this subscription available to purchase in the App Store! OR add Apple Pay as payment method in the app.  

I don’t use PayPal. And I really want to have a payment option that I feel is secure and trusted. 

I want to subscribe - 5 cameras .., but I feel uncomfortable with the limited and outdated payment choices

### 5/5 — URGENT

*2026-06-14, version 6.3.2*

My camera driveway 2 keeps going offline for no reason and it’s alarming as I had a home invasion without notice due to lag in response.Its always the black G100. I had an AirTag in my wallet he saw my wife leave for work(maint man)me and cats heard a noise 1 minute after she left. I got no notifications or recording. I asked to be a product tester hoping to earn locks cameras for outside a hub ,sensors for doors windows.I do it for PuffCO. Already but I can’t afford to replace this I’m healing after hit with shrapnel while volunteering in Ukraijni. 3 yrs I gave to come home haven’t bought a weapon now I’ll have to take the chance and 3D print one. As that’s what I do still  do for the Legion. UAV body’s. They add tech. Please help. Please

### 5/5 — Apple be praised

*2026-05-27, version 6.1.6*

So many reviews give advice and caution regarding this product not being easy to set up and signalling issues etc. so far after 3 weeks I couldn’t be happier, im disabled and dont want to be going downstairs to answer the door unnecessarily and now I don’t have to. It’s compatible will all my Apple products which was a key requirement of mine and you are not compelled to have a subscription if you have memory with apple. Compared to my friends who have Alexa or ring doorbells this is far superior

### 5/5 — Not user friendly

*2026-05-14, version 6.1.6*

This app is not user friendly at all. I’m 28 some who is savvy is technology and the app is just stupid. Also the device uses a lot of battery power. I’ve had it less than a month and have had to change the batteries 3 times already.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-05-13, version 6.1.6*

So for so good enjoying using the app.

### 5/5 — Excelentes productos

*2026-05-06, version 6.1.6*

Tengo dos cámaras y son geniales, por ahora tengo para interior cuidado de niños y mascotas, no tienes que estar pagando un poco de servicios, para exteriores tengo un sistema de la marca tapo son buena opción estoy dejando pasar un tiempo responsable para cambiar por esta misma marca.

### 5/5 — Timbre amar

*2026-04-15, version 6.1.5*

Muy buenas imágenes y se lo recomiendo. Gracias
