Disappointed

I upgraded my phone to iphone17 but the app didn’t transfer from my old phone. I have a non-Bluetooth timer so now have to look for an older iPhone with the software as I’m trading in my iPhone13 for credit.

Not working

Not working

No longer works

This app used to work fine, but now it doesn’t and shuts down during setup so it’s impossible to add a new light after deleting the one as suggested in their troubleshooting. They seem to not care in a fix since they have ignored this issue for quite some time. Don’t bother with home depot brands. Buy brands who stand behind their equipment. So many better choices now.

Screw your Customers!

Pathetic behavior by all involved including Home Depot, the “owner” of the original Defiant timer product. If you can’t, or refuse to support your products, then at least make the software Open Source so we can possibly still use the timers we purchased.

Defiant obsolete

Once you update your phone, your Defiant app becomes obsolete. A waste of money. I’ll be buying a different brand from now on.

Can’t control older timer

I have an older Defiant timer with plug in cord and the current app does not support it. I don’t have access to older app so what am I supposed to do now, buy a whole new timer? What a waste. Nice thinking about your customers. I’m not buying your items anymore. 😡

Use Notify Blue App Instead

This app won’t run even on my iPhone 11. Install the Notify Blue app instead. It isn’t great but did let me find and control my floodlight via Bluetooth.

Not compatible with older timers

The new app does not work on older timers. Please update the app or bring back the old app in the Apple Store.

Should be illegal

I have multiple non-Bluetooth automated switches from these people and apparently, they discontinued the old app and this one doesn’t support it. So, they made them unusable. I’d strongly recommend not buying anything from them because they’ll probably render that product useless, too.

Rip off

Just remove the wire mode app and let only the Bluetooth . what about the people who bought those kind of switches we have to throw them away to buy the Bluetooth ones now? this is just ripping off paper to not buy this kind of stuff.

Can’t open app

The app will not open. I tried it on three different devices.

Horrible-Worthless & Frustrating!

How in the world could Defiant have millions of non-Bluetooth timers still on the market and in use by thousands of customers, and all of a sudden remove the app that controls them and replace it with an app that ONLY supports Bluetooth devices?? Really?
Are you expecting people to run out and purchase new timers so we can use the new app? I don’t think so. Why would Defiant be so thoughtless? On a second note, it’s an insult snd insensitive to the customer’s needs that they didn’t even recommend an alternative app to use with the old timers. This has been disappointing and frustrating to say the least and I for one - will show my lack of interest in NEVER purchasing anything from defiant!

Take the money and run!!!!

I have an earlier version of the Defiant timer. Non Bluetooth. This means that I am forced to use my older iPhone 8 to program it. Frankly, in my opinion Defiant can kiss me where the sun don’t shine. It would have been no trouble whatsoever to provide support for their older products. They chose not to do so, thinking they’d force existing users to trash their old switches and purchase new ones. Defiant will never see another dime from me. If I ever upgrade, it will not via Defiant. They lost me as a customer.

Horrible app. Companies like this should be shut down.

The app crashes

The app has a glitch and keeps crashing!!!

Don’t waste your $$$$

Junk. I got it downloaded and the plug works with the app, however, I can’t get it to sink with Alexa. And that was my purpose.

App does not work

This app is trash no way to get it to work.

No problems.

My iPhone grabbed. It. Easy setup.
At first was frustrated until I noticed the light I set up. The name u click on. And whole new menu
All the settings I needed

Much prefer the old app

This app is worthless! I could set my outside lights from dusk to dawn or a custom program and not ever have to turn anything on, even when I was away from home with the older timer app. I am terribly disappointed that the developer did not at least still OFFER the older version that we all bought and had installed connected to our lights. I will never recommend this to anyone and will search to find something similar to what the old timer and app used to be.

App updated for wireless only

The original app worked with a cord you would plug into the light switch to set the options. Original light switches were not blue tooth. Why doesn’t the current app let you also use the original wired switches ?????
