Horrific app.

I can’t even figure out a valid password and no rules are presented. -Given Up

App is poorly designed and unstable

Wish I could give it 0 stars. The app is really poorly designed and back end server and data are unstable and unreliable. Often when server is down, sensors flash a blue light that can’t be stopped without cutting power. These are hardwired sensors so cutting power not a simple thing.

Not integrator friendly

Terrible app, never loads, devices fail. The app can’t load devices or add them. This is just a terrible app.

Complete garbage.

App is currently not working, which renders sensors useless. Sensors just flashing blue. This has happened several times in months of owning this stupid system.

2/20/25 Update - App began working for a week and is now back to bricked. App hangs with startup screen. Deleted and reinstalled, problem remains.

4/6/25 Update - App was working for a month. Currently bricked and will not function. Delete and reinstall does not help. There is clearly an issue with their server that they are unable to fix long term.

Needs major update

Home Screen locks up and you have to delete the app and reinstall to try to login again. Overall, it could be a lot better app with a complete re-write

Horrible app and sensor

Sensor only worked intermittently and the app was horrible to deal with. Would never reconnect to sensor. Both the app and the sensor are pure garbage. Stay away.

What year is it?

Spent $1000 on overture hardware only to have the REQUIRED app fail before I could even create a login, which again is required. I fill in my info to create account. “Enter passcode” a popup says. No warning whatsoever but I assume they were meant to email me a passcode - when I enter anything it says “incorrect OTP”. Of course no email ever comes after several tries over several days. I am now on hold with broan. Wait time over 20 min. This hardware should not be on the market with an app like this. Even visually the app looks like it was made in 2010 so I don’t know what I expected.

Suddenly Inoperable

App seemed to be working fine, albeit with a fairly ugly and clunky interface, and no ability to turn off the colored lights at the air monitor like virtually all other smart devices.

Then yesterday it kicked me out and insisted I sign in again. My username and old password didn’t work. I used “forgot password” and they sent me a code to my email on record, I used the code, and received “no email on record.” Did this about five times with no luck.

Then tried to set up a new account. No dice. It is now impossible to log into the dashboard, nullifying any value to the (rather expensive) device.

I was actually testing it to determine if we would sell it at my retail stores. Given this frustrating app issue, I’m thinking not.
