### 1/5 — Keeps logging me out. And bad development

*2025-07-27, version 2.4*

The Daikin Comfort app is a constant source of frustration and needs a complete rebuild.

The most critical issue: it logs me out almost every time I use it — even though auto-login is enabled and both my phone and the unit are on the same Wi-Fi network. This makes using the app a daily hassle and defeats the purpose of remote access.

Scheduling is another weak point. It’s clunky and poorly designed — no way to globalize settings or copy schedules from day to day, which makes even simple setups time-consuming.

There’s also no in-app support, and the app rarely receives updates. And Daikin points us to retailers to resolve those. While this is their own app!! What would a retailer do?!? For a major brand like Daikin, that’s disappointing.

They really need to invest in this app — not just to fix stability, but also to add essential features like push notifications, better control over vent position, smarter scheduling, and a more polished user experience overall.

Right now, the app simply doesn’t match the quality of Daikin’s hardware.

### 1/5 — The worst possible investment a waste of money

*2025-05-20, version 2.4*

I have had the wifi adapter devices for 4 years and for the 6-9 months that it worked it was great to the tune of $800 for two adapters. Then depending on power outages or other things that happen requiring resets of internet I have tracked the failure of the success to connect to my phone for monitoring.  It’s like it never works correctly. Yesterday I spent 3 hours trying to reset one of the AC adapters and it never worked.  One adapter works but for some reason you cannot connect another device in the app. So now I am rebooting everything including the app.  And trying to see what happens. Oh and by the way you can’t find any FAQs online or even calling leads you down a rabbit hole of waiting for hours only to find that you need to call someone else. It’s just not worth it!  So frustrating.

### 1/5 — As bad as it gets

*2025-04-12, version 2.4*

I am currently abroad and trying to control my units from the other side of the world. The Daikin units itself were expensive and so were the WiFi units. Today when I woke up the whole house was set to wrong temperatures even though I have deleted all scheduling in their terrible app days earlier. I have a smart home with 150 things, everything works great except the terrible Daikin app. The app has 1.4 in reviews on the App Store. Is it that much to ask for that it does simple things of setting the right temp at the right time as it was advertised to do? You remove a schedule in their app, and it confirms you do so but still it’s there, lingering and invisible to the user. A quick search and I find thousands of other users with the exact same problem our installer said he stopped working with Daikin since their units and support is useless. If they cared they would have spent a minute on fixing the bugs. DKN cloud is also extremely problematic and drops connections constantly.

### 1/5 — Keeps logging me out. And bad development

*2025-04-05, version 2.4*

Very bad app. Daikin should revamp this app from scratch. Schedules are hard to manage. (Cannot globalize nor copy)

We get logged out all the time although we set auto login.
No way to get app support. Never updated

I really have to log back in every time I use it. A real pain. 

Daikin should invest a in this app to stabilize it and add features like notifications, more control over vent position, better scheduling.

### 1/5 — Failed again

*2025-02-07, version 2.4*

The unit connected to the Wi-Fi for about a year and then didnt. So I reconnected it and it worked again for a year and then it disconnected. Now in the third year, I cannot connect to the Wi-Fi at all despite numerous attempts. I am very good at this stuff so it’s not my fault. It’s their fault.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-01-14, version 2.4*

App doesn’t match documentation. Nothing is intuitive. Worthless & Daikin should be ashamed to publish this.

### 1/5 — Password Reset

*2024-12-08, version 2.4*

There is no option to reset a forgotten password in the app.  There is no direction for a website to visit to help in resetting the password.  This issue renders your account useless.  Seems like a very simple fix.  The other app ‘Daiken One Home’ has this feature but does not support my controller.  Please either support password help.   Or, configure the the Daiken One Hame app to support all controllers.

### 1/5 — Logged out ALL the time

*2024-11-23, version 2.4*

### 1/5 — RUN AWAY

*2024-11-15, version 2.4*

Don’t walk… RUN away from Daikin. Absolutely ZERO service. No knowledge by reps.  Flawed APP interface.

### 1/5 — Logged out ALL the time

*2024-10-29*

We get logged out all the time although we set auto login.
No way to get app support. Never updated

I really have to log back in every time I use it. A real pain. 

Daikin should invest a bit in this app to stabilize it and add features like notifications, more control over vent position, better programming

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-10-14, version 2.4*

This is the worse app ever trying to connect to my mini split, with so many negatives, would think they would try to fix. Horrible experience!

### 1/5 — Setup

*2024-09-23, version 2.4*

Getting it set up has been beyond terrible.  I’m dreading now having to use it based on these reviews.

### 1/5 — Nearly useless app

*2024-09-22, version 2.4*

Can’t keep contact with head unit. Must log in every time. 
The only useful thing is being able to read the indoor and outdoor temp sensors. 
Coders or someone should be fired for this nearly useless app. 
Why can’t my new model mini split use one of the other daikin apps?

### 1/5 — Problems: Logged out all the time

*2024-09-15*

We get logged out all the time although we set auto login. The interface is not user friendly especially the navigation. Seems there are 2 ways to reach your machine. Why?!
No support

### 1/5 — Complete Junk

*2024-08-16, version 2.4*

After spending 2 hours with it I gave up.

### 1/5 — Dumpster fire

*2024-08-07, version 2.4*

This app is so awful that it should be criminal. It doesn’t function at all half the time, and when it does, you have to login “out of home,” and send the control signals through Daikin’s cloud service because the app doesn’t function locally. The auto login function doesn’t work, making it even more frustrating. I have had to reinitialize the app multiple times per month for it to work at all. It silently fails. It fails loudly. It fails in every way possible.

The good news is that the Wi-Fi dongles that make Daikin units available on your network can be interacted with directly with a straightforward API. There are tools out there, including open source ones, that let you control your system reliably. But it’s not easy to set up and you have to be pretty technical. It’s a disgrace that Daikin thinks that this app offers an acceptable customer experience. Shame on you, Daikin.

### 1/5 — No local access

*2024-07-29, version 2.4*

The app when from quick local access to only remote access which make is useless if you internet is out.  Also the servers that respond for their out of home are very slow which compounds the problem.  Control of items should not require outside internet access.

### 1/5 — Just as bad as the “smart” control unit

*2024-07-18, version 2.4*

The app is slow, crashes a lot, is not as intuitive as Ecobee. I am so frustrated that I did not know I had to switch to this garbage with the new system. They don’t even have remote sensors yet. What an awful product line.

### 1/5 — Unable to operate device on wifi

*2024-07-15, version 2.4*

Ever since you pushed out the update to version 2.0 and all subsequent updates have resulted in the inability to operate our devices whilst on wifi. The only way we can operate them using the app is by log into our of home, regardless if we’re at home or not. 

Patiently awaiting an update that will allow instant control while on our home wifi network.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-07-15, version 2.4*

Incroyable de payer 5000$ pour une thermopompe soit disant la meilleure au monde et fait par des japonais et même pas capable de faire une application qui fonctionne!!! Certains jouets pour enfants à moins de 10$ ont des applications bien mieux que celle-ci! J’aurais dû acheter une chinoise !!

### 1/5 — London home

*2026-06-15, version 2.4*

I recently renovated a London home but live in California most of the time. The app is pretty much useless and doesn’t work so I am completely unable to change any settings in my London home.

### 1/5 — It really is this bad

*2026-05-23, version 2.4*

Trying to add it wifi and it gives me a dumb error and directs me to a FAQ page that has a 404. Translation. “It doesn’t work and we don’t care “. If you haven’t bought yet, don’t

### 1/5 — WiFi option not reliable

*2026-05-03, version 2.4*

This app is not user friendly. The unit is difficult to get set up on the app and rarely works on the app correctly. Very poor app with no support.

### 1/5 — App sucks so do these units

*2026-04-26, version 2.4*

Save yourself the hundreds of dollars for the remote app. This system sucks!!

### 1/5 — Wtf is this in 2026

*2026-02-11, version 2.4*

Can’t believe this is an app in 2026. This is absurd. Always fails connection and can’t warm up my home while at work

### 1/5 — Please hear us

*2025-12-22, version 2.4*

You can do better daikin!

### 1/5 — Absolute trash

*2025-12-16, version 2.4*

I have had two Daiken units for three years now. The app looses Connection very frequently. I was busy traveling and not at home. The units lost connection to the cloud and turned on AC in the middle of 12f weather. This is un acceptable. Do not buy these units. Go with Mr Cool or Mitsubishi.

### 1/5 — Très difficile de se connected.

*2025-11-24, version 2.4*

L’installateur a programmé l’application. Par la suite, j’ai été incapable de l’utiliser malgré un grand nombre d’essais à là maison et à l’exterieur. Le Manuel et le site internet me semblent ne pas donner les bonnes explications. Dommage, parce que j’ai me la thermopompe.

### 1/5 — No support

*2025-10-19, version 2.4*

Hot garbage of an app

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-08-20, version 2.4*

I’ve never left a review for an app. But wow this needs to win worst ever. It’s takes a whole day off work to set it up and then one you finally get connected…it disconnects! Most frustrating thing ever

### 5/5 — Bien mieux

*2024-01-08, version 2.3*

Les dernières mises a jour ont rendues l’application bien plus fonctionnellles qu’avant.

### 5/5 — Gary is the BEST!

*2023-10-16, version 2.0*

Ureka!! Finally found a tech that walked me through set-up. Gary was awesome! He go us all good to go. We figured out that we needed to connect through 2.4g Not out 5g and we were trying to connect with Net gear which I think has probably 5g or something that wasn’t compatible to our adaptors. Gary helped us through many calls to daikin and we did it. One major clue is dont finalize password until all units are on your app Everything is working the way it should. Patience is key!

### 5/5 — Version 2.0 needs to be logged in differently

*2022-01-16, version 2.0*

Need to login using “out of home” login
Works fine if so

### 5/5 — App works fine

*2020-01-17, version 1.0*

This app works great I wish it was updated for Alexa and Google

### 4/5 — Continues to work just fine

*2024-04-15, version 2.4*

I see many reviews that say nasty things about different stuff, I normally think that they want the moon!  This app works fairly well. I wish I could be a little easier, but honestly it does the job. After 4 years of working I really don’t have anything bad to say about it. 
Thanks

### 3/5 — Used to work

*2023-01-15, version 2.0*

I think this app need’s permission to allow network access. But the app doesn’t show in settings. Help?

### 3/5 — It is what it is.

*2022-03-11*

The app works reliably for me, but as others have noted is missing settings that the Emura heads have. These aren’t a big deal for me; I’m not going to use a remote control like some kind of 20th century caveman. Settings also do not sync with the remotes. I have a large ducted unit connected to the same heat pump as the emuras, that uses a different Wi-Fi adapter and a different app. If you mostly run a schedule this again isn’t a huge deal. If you have a big, old house with no ducts, the daikin system is still the best game in town, but software is not their core competency. There is a community developed smartthings adapter that seems to work well, though I haven’t done anything fancy with it.

2022 update: the SmartThings interface still works, it’s  unauthenticated and using port 80 on the local address, so it’s unclear why they disabled local control in the app because it’s still available on the units.  Wouldn’t be hard to write a new app; I’m working on SmartThings rules automating switching between my nest controlled furnace and the heat pump based on available solar input and outside temp.

### 3/5 — Unable to use “in home” mode

*2022-01-30, version 2.0*

App requires me to use “not at home” mode even when on the same wi-fi network as the unit. This is inconvenient but still usable. I did not have this issue with the 1.0 app version.

### 3/5 — Please update this app!

*2021-07-28, version 1.0*

App works fine for changing modes and temperature, but that’s basically it. You’re not even able to adjust fan speed. The wifi module was not included and pricey to add. I wish they would improve this. Not buying any more wifi modules until they do.

### 3/5 — Like using an abacus to do math

*2020-06-30, version 1.0*

It gets the job done. Slowly. When it works. The app has apparently not been significantly updated in years and has not aged well. Do not expect it to be anywhere near as user-friendly as Nest and you will not be too disappointed.
