### 2/5 — Mauvais en général

*2026-08-10, version 326.29.0*

Fonctionne mal. Je ne recommande pas du tout.

### 1/5 — App is dead

*2026-08-03, version 326.29.0*

Has not worked for over 2 months. Screen is black. No one to contact.

### 2/5 — No attempt at creating an app that works

*2026-07-23, version 326.26.0*

It this app meant to work? Or is it just a tocken widget on your phone??

If it works it does so infrequently and only for half a song at best…

### 1/5 — Overpriced junk

*2026-07-22, version 326.26.0*

It’s not just the app - the entire system is an overpriced piece of technological junk. It’s expensive, hard or impossible to maintain, buggy and at the end doesn’t provide even the fraction of functionality that systems like Sonos, Philips Hue or Ring do. It’s “all in one place “? Yes, but in this case it a liability not an advantage.

### 1/5 — Intercom is a mess

*2026-05-21, version 326.19.0*

It has been years and they continue to ignore the intercom function. We installed two touch panels and a DoorStation to use this functionality and it’s terrible. Dreadful. Rarely works when needed. Delay to answer calls from iOS is ridiculous. DoorStation rings on iOS without any dependability. Ring is way better and way way cheaper. Been this way for years. They ask for feedback in the app so they seem to be aware of the issue. I have no confidence they will do anything to fix the issues.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-05-20, version 326.19.0*

App was “fine” when it worked. Not great but it did work. Latest update just opens to a black screen and crashes after 10-15 seconds. Unacceptable for a company of this size.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-05-19, version 326.16.0*

For 2 weeks the screen is black and doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Scam + junk

*2026-05-15, version 326.16.0*

Doesn’t work unless you buy a separate subscription.

### 1/5 — Completely unusable

*2026-05-15, version 326.16.0*

This app has been broken for months and is still broken. As in, the app is a black screen and I literally cannot use it.

### 2/5 — Clunky

*2026-05-01, version 326.14.0*

This system is clunky and unreliable. The UI sucks, the way you add zones and play different sources is very unintuitive and its constantly crashing or not responding to the app.
