This still works from the old version on another phone. Some regression testing is usually part of good software development. Does not seem to have been done in this case. When will a bug fix be available? ### 1/5 — Update crashed my system *2019-08-24, version 3.0.0* Couldn’t connect to the system after The new app update didn’t work and I had to have the alarm company come and reprogram it. I’m sending the bill to Bosch. Obviously zero testing went into this. Service guys said every customer has the same issue. Thanks Bosch!!! ### 1/5 — Very basic app. Will not worknon your own Wi-Fi network. *2017-12-28, version 2.8.1* Will not work on your Wi-Fi network. Only via 4g or lte network which means you have to keep fiddling with your cell network & Wi-Fi settings to set your alarm. Using the physical panel is not very convenient in a big house. ### 2/5 — Primitive *2017-12-20, version 2.8.1* A primitive app, does not even provide notifications of alarm faults... come on Bosch, you can do better! ### 1/5 — Basic *2017-12-16, version 2.8.1* Very basic app, hasn’t been updated or upgraded in more than a year. I don’t even get push notifications for the alarm going off or anything! Sad that I upgraded my alarm system but the app isn’t helpful besides turning on my alarm. ### 1/5 — Basic and slow *2017-11-29, version 2.8.1* Just had my system upgraded and looked forward to being web enabled. But, the app is very basic, connects to the panel successfully no more than 50% of the time and is very slow. Has all the sophistication of a garage door opener. Nest it’s not. ### 1/5 — No notifications on a security system app?? *2017-04-05, version 2.8.1* A security system app that does not notify when there's a fault is a paperweight. And i am supposed to pay $7 a month for this garbage. ### 1/5 — App didn't fix connectivity problem *2016-08-06, version 2.8.1* V2.8 broke my remote connectivity, this new version did not address the problem. ### 1/5 — New 2.5 version *2015-04-09, version 2.5.0* With the new update the home screen that has the arm/disarm function no longer works. As someone who uses this for work it is very inconvenient. ### 2/5 — Does it work with latest OS for iPhone 6. *2015-03-14, version 2.4.1* After upgrading OS on my iPhone,app stopped working.Please come up with the patch. ### 1/5 — PRES. *2013-12-16, version 2.2.7* CANNOT GET IT TO INSTALL ON MY IPAD-3 USING 7.0.4 SOFTWARE. IT IS INSTALLED ON MY IPHONE 5S WITH VERSON 7.0.4 AND I AM USING THE DYNDNS-SERVER (PAID VERSION) , WHEN I TRY TO CONNECT TO MY D9412GV4, I KEEP GETTING ERROR MESSAGE "CONNECTION ERROR ( FAILED TO CONNECT TO SPECIFIED CONTROL PANEL). WOULD LOVE SOME HELP WITH THESE TWO PROBLEMS. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Basic *2024-12-02, version 3.0.3* Pretty sure an elementary kid could have programmed this app. It’s 2024 - this should be far more advanced than what it is. ### 1/5 — Stop working *2022-11-15, version 3.0.3* The app stopped working had security company out twice. Not having a working app to arm and disarm the system defeats the purpose of having one. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-04-24, version 3.0.3* Doesn’t work at all. Spend a lot of money to up grade our security system. This app sinks! ### 1/5 — JUNK! *2020-11-27, version 3.0.2* Basically an on/off switch. Will not connect remotely to my alarm panel. I would not have purchased a BOSCH alarm if I knew the limited functionality of this app. ### 1/5 — Stop working in version 3.0.1 *2020-05-03, version 3.0.1* I can’t connect to my system since upgrading to version 3.0.1. Please provide a fix! ### 1/5 — RS Contol 3.0.1 Connection Failure *2019-11-17, version 3.0.1* RS Contol 3.0.0 fails to connect to our Solution 3000 whereas RS Control 2.8.1 on our other device still functions correctly. Update: RS Contol 3.0.1 still fails to connect. ### 1/5 — Northland farm *2019-09-25, version 3.0.1* Still cannot access even with latest update not good enough ### 1/5 — Breaking changes *2019-09-04, version 3.0.0* Dear support, After the update my access to the panel has been broken. B246 module with access 3000 panel is my setup. Regards ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-09-01, version 3.0.0* Absolutely pathetic that version 3 upgrade does not allow access to alarm panel. Lucky still have access to old version on ipad that allows access I would not recommend this app to anyone Bug fix required urgently Rod ### 1/5 — Fail: Cannot connect to panel *2019-08-27, version 3.0.0* The latest update, v3.0, is hanging and eventually fails to connect to the panel. Please re-release v2.81 until this is sorted with a new bugfix release. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App stopped working on iPhone *2022-04-02, version 3.0.2* I don’t know why and how to fix but all forwarding is active but app won’t connect ### 5/5 — User *2021-01-19, version 3.0.2* Very user friendly and let’s you bypass an opening if you need to arm the system remotely and you forgot a window was open. Really useful to allow an appliance person in to repair an appliance and no one can be at the location. Highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Works well, simple but super reliable *2020-11-29, version 3.0.2* I like that app, using with Bosch RPS and it’s a great solution. ### 5/5 — Fast & Responsive *2014-09-04, version 2.3.1* Nice easy ui and much faster than other alarm apps I have used. ### 5/5 — Gv4 control *2014-03-04, version 2.2.7* I have made it work without many problems. It requires a certificate built for each alarm panel. Once the certificate is imported, you simply select the alarm panel and connect from a list. It requires a new certificate if your alarm panel changes IP, port, or RPS pass code. Once working, it has abilities as per a regular keypad but with a better interface, but based on the users authority level. Nice app. ### 5/5 — Update makes this a great tool *2013-02-24, version v2.1* thanks to the latest update, Bosch's remote security control is now a truly professional tool. Love the simplicity and ease of use! ### 4/5 — Great app for building security control... *2021-02-25, version 3.0.2* Very useful app for building security control. A recommendation for the option to go back from the security status screen to view other properties on the account. Currently we have 3 properties; when 1 is disarmed, we have to close out an reopen the app to access another property. ### 4/5 — New Update has fixed the connection issue *2019-09-24, version 3.0.1* Thank you for listening and fixing the issue. Connection issue has been resolved with new update. ### 3/5 — Visually unappealing needs som zing! *2017-03-18, version 2.8.1* It's ok the visual aspect of the app is blah. Interactivity is good just looks weak snd boring. Will probably rarely use it. Will go to the panel to control. ### 3/5 — Version 2.6.0 still can't use... *2015-07-31, version 2.4.1* When connected to a GV4 panel the app still does not display custom output names as I had also reported for version 2.5.0. I reinstalled version 2.4.1 back onto my iPhone again from a back up so I can have these custom names. I have multiple outputs on the panel that are hard to keep track of without the names. Please fix this issue. Also the app still has no option to turn perimeter areas ON via instant mode. I still have to use a keypad to do that. You can only turn on the areas via delayed mode. Please add this option. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
