Je ne recommande pas du tout. ### 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… ### 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. ### 2/5 — Volume Control issue *2026-04-16, version 326.13.0* Since updating the app the volume control doesn’t work, really frustrating as we’ve tried all the usual robooting fixes without success. ### 2/5 — Barely Passable *2026-04-16, version 326.13.0* Clumsy - especially for audio/listening - and fails to integrate regularly with streaming services such as Spotify, Qobuz and others. Regularly disconnects with BluSound, a popular audio system. Choosing which zone to play is unintuitive. ### 2/5 — Mediocre and Unreliable *2026-04-01, version 326.11.0* When the app works, it’s ok. The issue is frequent failed attempts to connect even on the same network. The UI is ok, but my family mostly grabs a remote first since they are much more reliable. Notifications work sometimes and not others, which is less than optimal as well. ### 1/5 — The most awful system *2026-03-13, version 326.9.0* Always crash never works. Do not spend your money on this system. ### 1/5 — Not working with ios26.4 *2026-03-13, version 326.9.0* It’s not connecting I tried two iPads and 1 iPhone with ios26.4 it’s not connecting ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-03-13, version 326.9.0* Constant issues with the app connecting. ### 1/5 — Control4 App not working *2026-03-12, version 326.9.0* App seems to have stopped working after update ### 1/5 — Most recent update causes unable to connect *2026-03-12, version 326.9.0* Unable to connect message when any of the iPhones updated to new version. Used to work in previous version ### 1/5 — Latest update broke it *2026-03-12, version 326.9.0* I’ve had this for almost 4 years now - always worked fine. Yesterday, updated to newest version and says “problem connecting, try again later”. Tried rebooting , uninstalling, unplugging actual control4 unit… nothing… Still works on my iPad with old version… so.. FIX THIS PLEASE! ### 1/5 — Last Update broke everything *2026-03-11, version 326.9.0* Can’t access system since last update. ### 1/5 — Tired of control 4 *2026-03-11, version 326.9.0* Not working after update, terrible interface too. ### 2/5 — 3/10/26 update broke your app *2026-03-10, version 326.9.0* After today’s app update it no longer works. Can you have your developers try and fix it. I’m hosting a get together later for my porch and my guest will not have music now. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2026-01-28, version 326.3.0* Updated app. No longer controls my whole home audio. Kinda expected this some day as the installers could never get the Control4 system to control my home theater. Most money I have ever spent on an AV system that doesn’t work. ### 2/5 — Hello, McFly? *2025-12-25, version 325.50.0* Not sure how the most recent uodate can be worse than the OS it replaced, but it is. Does anyone at C4 read these user reviews? ### 4/5 — Works well *2025-12-09, version 325.47.0* We are still on OS3 and it works very well with the app. Would appreciate a bit less latency on intercom calls but otherwise very happy. ### 1/5 — What am I paying for *2025-12-03, version 325.47.0* What a rip off. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Fix your app *2026-03-18, version 326.11.0* You release an update and break the app, then do nothing about it for going on a week now? Is this a joke? Whoever is in charge of this buggy app should be replaced, find a new job man. ### 1/5 — 326.9.0 is broken, can’t connect to controllers running 3.2 *2026-03-13, version 326.9.0* 326.9.0 is broken, can’t connect to controllers running 3.2 ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-03-13, version 326.9.0* iOS cannot login!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Update 3-11-26 app no longer connects. Update! *2026-03-14, version 326.11.0* Did the update March 11 2026 and now the app no longer lets me connect. My sound system is no longer usable. It’s not my phone because there are three devices to control it and now none of them will connect. They quickly released an update that fixed the issue. Works fine again ! ### 5/5 — The iPhone of Smart Home *2025-09-22, version 325.35.0* Elegantly Apple-esque, but light years beyond. Steve Jobs and Jonny Ive would be jealous. ### 5/5 — The iPhone of Smart Home *2025-03-28, version 325.9.0* Elegantly Apple-esque, but light years beyond. Steve Jobs would be jealous. ### 5/5 — Nah bro *2024-08-28* Okay so I may be young be I don’t get how you all hate on this app. You know “it’s buggy” and all the stuff like that. Maybe you got bad internet or something else. Don’t be hating on an app that makes it so that you don't gotta wait for the remote to connect to the system. Maybe people who’ve rated this 5 stars have better internet or they just got a better house than you. You’re self probably has to get another house. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ### 5/5 — No sirve para perfiles en apps de streaming de musica *2024-04-27, version 324.13.1* Hola la app funciona muy bien pero debería tener la opción para escoger el perfil en apps como deezer , Apple Music y Spotify. Tengo plan familiar y solo el admin de la cuenta aparece en control4, no hay opción para cambiar de perfil. Gracias ### 5/5 — New integration *2024-03-20, version 324.9.0* For what it cost to run a 4sight, it could have been nice to integrate control 4 to work seemlessly with Apple products, especially the home pod and Apple TV . ### 5/5 — Awesome Control4 System App *2023-11-15, version 323.43.0* I've been using the Control4 for OS3 app, and it's been a game-changer. The responsiveness is impressive, thanks to a well-sized system installed by my dealer. Like many users, I faced initial challenges, but once the system was correctly set up, everything became incredibly snappy. Kudos to the app for enhancing my overall experience! ### 5/5 — Superb *2023-11-07, version 323.41.0* What DJMikeKat said ### 5/5 — New Update *2022-11-03, version 322.41.1* The pause button and the record button have disappeared on the remote screen after the last update. HELP!! ### 5/5 — Works perfectly on Macbook Pro M1 *2022-10-20, version 322.39.0* Please keep the new features coming. Love Control4. Make Composer Pro available for power users (not only for dealers). --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
