### 1/5 — Impossible to use

*2025-12-01*

This app “partially” works…just enough to screw up my heat and AC. scheduled. Cannot Cartier’s idea of a thermostat driven schedule…. So basically I have to manually play with my two thermostats (2 zones) EVERY DAY - and MULTIPLE TIMES to control my house heating and AC. The dealer keeps sending idiots out who don’t know anything about the thermostats they originally installed. Carrier is turning out to be a pile of s—t.

### 1/5 — New app doesn’t work

*2025-11-29, version 2.21.0*

Totally junk can’t even change the temperature.

### 1/5 — Can't fix temp

*2025-11-25, version 2.21.0*

Problem not solved.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2025-11-25*

UPDATE: Still junk. Can’t adjust the schedules because they haven’t figured out not all phones are the size of tablets and I can’t scroll up the page to save/update. 

UPDATE: Still utter garbage. You can’t even turn the system on off, change, or even look at the schedule. You have to slide the screen up to reach the controls, but it doesn’t stay, so you can tap them. The last update claimed to enhance the UI, but there’s no appreciable change. It’s inexcusable that they just trashed a wonderful, intuitive, extremely useful app for what feels like the work of the CEO’s nephew who took a class. 
________

Because Carrier discontinued the thermostat their otherwise excellent app supported, when Apple made changes they appear to have completely deprioritized providing a useful update for it. Left us all out in the cold, as it were. They kept saying they working hard, but every other app I have, from the remedial to the complex figured it out. I guess they’re regretting making a thermostat with such useful and staying power that they gave to keep supporting it, but that’s their job. They can’t even manage to change the OLD pictures from the app they broke. I am seriously thinking about getting a new smart thermostat and seriously determined that it never again come from Carrier OR Honeywell, who coincidentally acquired it in the summer of 2024.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2025-10-13, version 2.21.0*

Still not working. Can’t adjust temp. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Still conversion issues

*2025-10-05, version 2.21.0*

This app is still not working. Forces temperatures up or down. Pretty sure it comes from poor Farheinheit to Celcius conversion. Please make it work again.

### 1/5 — This thing is junk.

*2025-09-06, version 2.21.0*

It’s perpetually entering a profile successfully and then later it’s mysteriously “holding” the previous profile settings. I’ve spent over a week trying to clear these holds so that it will run as scheduled to no avail. I think the solution is to buy a different thermostat and use a different app.

### 1/5 — What happened to my old app?

*2025-07-20, version 2.21.0*

Now the thermostat on my wall has the screens I know and use and this app has nothing.  When I increase the temp on this app it doesn’t show on the thermostat on the wall…what the heck….Worthless!  Not approved update for me, want my old app back!

### 1/5 — New Update is Terrible

*2025-07-17, version 2.20.0*

New Update for iPhone Now Can’t Scroll up High Enough to Select “Update” when I am trying to adjust temp profiles - very frustrating!

### 1/5 — No matter what temperature I set, it goes to 32C

*2025-07-10, version 2.20.0*

Please fix

### 1/5 — Worst app in the world

*2025-07-07, version 2.20.0*

This is worst all I never see so far

### 1/5 — Became Garbage with IOS upgrade

*2025-07-06, version 2.20.0*

The App used to work flawlessly. Apple upgraded the IPhone IOS and now the App is Garbage and unusable.  They have had a year to fix this problem and have done Nothing! Pain in the  … to control the thermostat now!

### 1/5 — App Redesign is Laking Functionality

*2025-07-06, version 2.20.0*

The actual thermostat has many functions. The previous Carrier Cor app for this thermostat allowed the user to access most of the functions of the thermostat. This new app allows for only basic thermostat control. 

I paid well over $300 for the thermostat in 2017. It was worth it because of its many functions, such as dehumidification temperature setback. As an example of loss of functionality, when away from the physical thermostat for months at a time, this newley designed app does not allow the user to access that function.

Since Carrier has now proven that they won’t support an app for more than a few years, my next system and thermostat will not be a Carrier thermostat, and therefore I will not purchase another Carrier AC/Heating system when I need to replace.

This new app puts the user back into the caveman era.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2025-07-06, version 2.20.0*

The support for this App is zero.

### 3/5 — Needs work but they’re trying

*2025-07-03, version 2.20.0*

Changing 1 star review to 3 as developer response made me feel like they’re activity trying to fix the authentication issues and app started working for me. The issue before: I kept getting logged off of app (Face Recognition doesn’t work if logged out), “forgot password” link was ultimately resulting in an error webpage.

### 4/5 — X-mas in June!

*2025-06-29, version 2.20.0*

Alleluia ! Their eyes are open and they can read all the negative reviews. Finally we get a stable version and (this feels like a late or early X-mas present) we get the much requested, personally lost hope for, the one thing everyone agreed upon that is unacceptably missing : THE AUX HEAT option! WOW! Hell yeah ! It's hot and humid outside, but I dont care, I put it on anyways. Just because I finally could! 4* because it took them years to wake up and do the right thing.

### 3/5 — Where's the Auxiliary Heat Mode...???

*2025-06-27, version 2.20.0*

6/26/2025:  At last, AuxHeat mode selection added, and is apparently functional.  Thank you.

3/27/2025: Just updated… Still disappointed.  Why is it so hard to add AuxHeat as a selectable mode?

3/2/2025: Latest update still does not have AuxHeat selection option even though the graphic in the App Store shows it for both iPad and iPhone.  Hopeful that the app improvements will continue and that feature will actually be included soon…

Old app allowed selection of Auxiliary Heat Mode, new app doesn't (thankfully the browser interface still does - critical for remote vacation home).  Since it's a function of the equipment, please put that option back in the app.

### 1/5 — Randomly Logs you Out

*2025-06-17*

Nothing more infuriating than the app logging you out randomly twice in the last few weeks and having to go and reset password which brings you to an “Oops” error page. Do better guys. Good lord

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about the problems that you have been experiencing. With the latest update we have changed the authentication mechanism. This should resolve the issues you previously dealt with but if you have any further difficulty with getting logged our or password reset please contact the Customer Support team at 1 (800) 227 7437

### 1/5 — App Issues

*2025-06-17, version 2.19.0*

We have only had issues since the update. I like the older version so much better! If my wall thermostat changes to be like the app I will be replacing it. I change the temperature only to realize nothing has changed. I’m locked out of the app, says my password is wrong - reset password, oops something went wrong. Recycle and repeat.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-05-10, version 2.22.2*

UPDATE: Still garbage. Still can’t scroll to save changes to comfort profiles. I can’t wait until all these remedial code tappers are replaced with AI. 

UPDATE:  Still garbage. Still can’t update the comfort profile because the app doesn’t scroll and the button to save is below the bottom margin. I can drag the screen and see it like an oasis in the desert, but I can’t touch it. Can’t wait until AI takes all their jobs. 

UPDATE: Still junk. Can’t adjust the schedules because they haven’t figured out not all phones are the size of tablets and I can’t scroll up the page to save/update.

### 1/5 — Used to be three star, now one

*2026-04-22, version 2.22.2*

Stopped updating. Needs a basic refresh screen pull down mechanism if it won’t show accurate temperature set numbers on its own. Why not ensure both work.

### 1/5 — terrible

*2026-03-19, version 2.22.2*

Can’t open this iPad with my new iPhone plus getting all kinds of security pop-up saying carrier website is not secure app that does work on my old iPad. Temperature goes all the way down and all the way up whenever it feels like it.

### 1/5 — an unsupported app

*2026-01-24, version 2.22.2*

Carrier is asleep at the wheel on this app, and does not care. I updated the app. Do not do this … they deleted all the scheduling for air circulation!

### 1/5 — AWFUL app

*2026-01-20, version 2.22.2*

This app used to work fine, and now it’s bugged for the second time. You can’t change the temperature to what you need. It will only go up by 1 degree, and doesn’t let you do half degrees even though it’s an option. So sick of this app that I’m switching to an ecobee unit. Carrier needs some new app developers

### 1/5 — Terrible..

*2025-12-24, version 2.22.1*

When downloading and opening, it goes into the Log In with email. There was no Registration! I registered on the Carrier website and the app does not recognize my email/pw. Can’t register the devices to operate. Customer service line is terrible as well! Get it together Carrier!

### 1/5 — Impossible to use

*2025-12-22, version 2.22.0*

### 1/5 — iOS13

*2025-12-21, version 2.22.0*

Was working until we updated the iOS and now it crashes.  No update in two years is showing very poor support!  Updated and worked for another year now the latest update and it will not work again

### 1/5 — Bugs not fixed, AGAIN.

*2025-12-05, version 2.22.0*

Still not able to set the temperature. It always goes .5° low/high then the Set temperature.

### 5/5 — Works Perfect

*2025-08-06, version 2.21.0*

Love the app because I can change the temperature even when I’m not home

### 5/5 — Wow!!

*2025-06-05, version 2.19.0*

Carrier actually updated what I thought was just a dead app. This app is fantastic now. I logged in, in an attempt to update my schedules, thinking it was going to be a headache. I actually backed out of the app, because I couldn’t believe it was the carrier app. Thank you for the update.

### 5/5 — Amy

*2025-05-16, version 2.19.0*

So happy to see this app is updated and it looks great!  One of my favorite tools for home management is back at my fingertips.  Thank you developers for making this work!

### 5/5 — Updating nicely

*2025-05-07, version 2.19.0*

Finally. They are updating slowly to get all the tools/features that we use to get.
App currently is reliable, works and again, new features. Can adjust temp, vacation, schedule, mode (heat, cool, both, off), fan, etc.

### 5/5 — Finally Updated

*2025-05-02, version 2.19.0*

After a much while, Carrier has finally decided to update their app. Thank you for taking the time to update the app, rather than leaving users in the dust. Basic functionality is back, so definitely hoping for more improvements.

### 5/5 — Great after update! :-)

*2025-03-06, version 2.13.0*

Prior to this latest update I was not very happy with what the application was offering. However, after I updated to the latest version today, operation of the thermostats from my phone is seamless. Very happy customer! :-) Thank you.

### 5/5 — Honest review

*2025-03-04, version 2.13.0*

Previously, I had to go online just to control my thermostat remotely, but with the release of the app, it’s made my life so much easier. Sure, it’s missing a few features I’d like to see, but let’s be realistic—this app was just launched a few months ago. I’m not sure why people are leaving bad reviews when the company is actively improving things. At least they’ve released an app, and with time, I’m confident it will continue to improve. These updates don’t happen overnight!

### 5/5 — Thermostats operation on app

*2025-01-31, version 2.11.0*

The app works but after a few seconds of adjusting the temperature it returns to its off position in the app. It does not affect the thermostats mode or temperature setting but I would like to make sure that when I place the unit in cool that I see cool within the app. The unit says off but it says heating while the unit says cool at the thermostat.

### 5/5 — Worked Great

*2025-01-22, version 2.11.0*

Worked great for me until Apple broke it. I look forward to the new full version. 1/21/2024.

### 5/5 — It finally works again!

*2025-01-16, version 2.11.0*

After being terrible for years and finally crashing completely they finally fixed the app! What a relief that it works again
