Rarely Connects to System

The app rarely connects, especially when outside the locations wifi. I do not consider it reliable and would not recommend it.

Wir nutzen das jetzt seit 10 Jahren. Alles super

Разочарование

Шляпа полная

Perfect app

App works perfectly and as expected. High quality product.

Control4 is awful and a rip off

Frustrating to use, laggy. Inherited this piece of garbage “smart” home system when I moved into my current place. Terrible system and managed by contractors who overprice and try to rip customers off for this terrible system. Avoid at ALL costs.

Worst app ever

Do not buy a control 4 system! They are very slow and laggy and you have to buy a sketchy app to use it.

Control4 System -0 Stars

We have had this system for about 8 years and it has been a big waste of time and money.
IT IS NOT RELIABLE !!
My husband had BestBuy set up original zones inside the house. He then wanted to add zones outside... BestBuy did not support the system anymore ... Red Flag!! We should have stopped there. He had zones added outside and it is totally unreliable. We paid $1000 for a Control4 remote control which is useless and should be updated according one of their "authorized repair companies".
Agree with other reviews ... constantly having to refresh system and it won't connect at all some days. We pay an "authorized repair company" $200 to walk through the door and take our money to "fix" the system, which never lasts more than a day or two. We are inundated with tune-in commercials now and experience
"dead air" frequently. When asked why I was told by one repair tech that "that question was above his pay grade".

And I do expect to see the scripted response from Control4 like all the other negative reviews to upgrade ... DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY !!!

A joke of an app

For a tech company this is the most out of date complicated app I have ever seen. We can never get it to work right and it is so overly complicated.

This isn’t 2001, we can make apps that work well but this company clearly doesn’t have the resources to do it

Computer use

Not accessible through my MacBook, how I intended to use it, I know of the 0s 3 app but I’m looking for this one specifically.

Can’t connect to system after the latest app update

I’ve used the app without material issue for years. After the latest update, the app is unable to connect to my system. The progress bar loads and the process freezes at 100%. My wife has the old version of the app and connects without issue.

Still a piece of crap

I have had a Control4 system since 2015 and it has always been buggy, but usually works except when it doesn’t. The app, however, regularly fails, usually by being unable to find the system and controlling it. Recently did a reinstall for the app and can’t connect with either phone in the house. One star is one too many.

Abysmal accessibility

It isn’t possible to use this app with VoiceOver, which means I can’t use this app, and there is no alternative to control the lights.

It is extremely easy to label a button or use a standard iOS slider control, but they didn’t bother to do it correctly and instead made a garbage app.

Works great but

As of this latest version update 2.10.23, this app is no longer compatible with iOS 12.5. Otherwise everything works great. I was an installer and using this on my home system.
Additional Info: there was a revision up to the the .24 so that when I attempted to update the app in the iOS 12.5 I would get a message that there was an older app that was compatible with the 12.5 version. After I attempted to download this the “Download an older version of this app?” just kept popping up with no download.

Does not work with iOS 12.5.7

For those of us using older iPads as controllers, this app does not work with iOS 12.5.7 which was released a few days ago.

Parou de funcionar

Funcionava maravilhosamente até ontem, 26/jan/23, porém após atualização simplesmente não funciona mais.

Fortement déconseillé

Je déconseille fortement control4, si vous installer un tel système vous devenez complètement dépendant de votre installateur pour la moindre modification… et n’espère pas obtenir de l’aide ni de control4 ni de l’importateur qui visiblement n’en n’on rien a faire…

App Stopped Working

In just the past month this app has gone from extremely reliable to totally unreliable. It fails to connect to my project consistently - both on my phone and my wife’s. There’s no explanation for why the change would have occurred as nothing in our house has been changed. The issue must be on the side of the app or Control4 servers. But whatever it is it has made the app totally unusable and completely unreliable. It needs to fixed ASAP.

When it works it is okay….it works 50% of the

The program is fine. But I have to close it more than half the time and reopen it…and then 20% of the time it won’t connect at all unless I shut down the system and restart. And I delete the app and re add it at least once every 6 weeks
