But not a subscribtion for an average ux. ### 4/5 — Good, but lacks some features *2023-03-08, version 1.8.1* App simple and generally reliable, you can change desk position or use Siri Shortcuts. Features missing: option to enable desk handle actions, set lower and upper limit, 4th fav position, maybe some lock or Home Screen widget (?). ### 4/5 — Suggestions *2023-03-06, version 2.4* In my Linak DPG1C there is an option to set desk upper and lower limits, so desk won't crash into some objects. I would definitely add such option to this app. Also 4th fav position would be nice. Overall good app but shouldn't be used simultaneously on both Mac and iPhone because you may get confused. ### 4/5 — Great APP *2022-11-23, version 2.3* But when I bought it on Mac OS shortcusts from notifications didn't work ("switch"/"wait 10 minutes"), so I needed to do refund. ### 2/5 — Pricing is insane *2022-11-02, version 1.8.1* $2/mo or $20 permanent? And it appears you can only have 3 saved positions. App works great but it isn't worth that kind of money when there are free alternatives that work just as well. I cannot speak to the Siri support, as I did not try it. ### 4/5 — Almost Perfekt *2022-08-11, version 2.3* Shortcuts are not always recognized by Siri and especially choosing the position afterwards doesn't work with siri, so has to be selected manually ### 4/5 — Switch Positions Notification not working *2022-05-18, version 2.3* When you click on the "Switch Position" Notification nothing happens. Thats quite sad. I Also would like to have an counter which can be displayed which otherwise automaticly switches positions. ### 4/5 — Perfetta per la IKEA Idasen *2022-02-03, version 2.3* Questa app è fondamentale per ottenere il vero potenziale di una scrivania motorizzata. Metto solo 4 stelle su 5, perchè sarebbe perfetto per me avere l'opzione di "forzare" il cambio di posizione Sit/Stand (almeno nella versione PRO). ### 3/5 — An sich super, aber… *2021-12-15, version 2.3* Habe die App seit gestern in Verwendung (Pro). Der Tisch wurde einwandfrei erkannt in Verbindung mit Linak DL16000. Das Einstellen der Höhen verlief auch total geschmeidig, sowie Kalibrieren etc. Und jetzt das aber: wenn ich per Tastenbefehl auf Sitz- oder Stehhöhe wechsle (73 cm / 111,5 cm) fängt der Tisch ambitioniert an auf Position zu fahren. Nach 20cm hört er aber bereits auf und geht dann so in 1-2 cm Schüben weiter bis die gewünschte Position erreicht ist. Das nervt total. Ich wünsche mir hier einen glatten Durchgang von A nach B und nicht über A2, A3, … Dann gibts auch die vollen 5 Sterne von mir. ### 4/5 — It's almost perfect *2021-10-26, version 2.1.0* I have to signal an issue after the upgrade to mac os monteray. Now when I decide to put a specific number in height but even on the memory values and I press enter key, it doesn't work. The only way to set a new value is in the analogical way and this is so unconfortable ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on MacOS 27 Beta *2026-06-18, version 2.5* Doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — This app consumes a lot of battery *2026-06-17, version 2.5* I see this app using significant energy in the Mac ### 1/5 — Costs now? *2026-03-18, version 1.8.1* I don’t remember this have a cost associated with it. The only thing you can do with the free version is manually control height with the app. If you want to save ANY amount of presets, bam, paywall. There are other apps out there. Pass. ### 1/5 — 1st 1 Star Review I have ever made. No Restore Purchase option. *2025-09-17* Tried contacting the developer through emails multiple times, asked apple to contact as well and did not hear back for months from either. I purchased the lifetime package on my previous computer, restored my computer, deleted and reset as new and there is no way to restore my purchase in the app. If there was, I recall seeing an error message which I had sent to the developer. ### 1/5 — SUBSCRIPTION for pro model *2025-03-14, version 2.4* You are a prik dude ### 1/5 — This must be a joke! *2025-01-29, version 1.8.1* $2.5 / Month for this? Download Idasen Controller and use it for free with the same or even better features. ### 1/5 — In App Purchase and Support are broken *2024-09-05, version 2.4* I tried to buy the Pro version for the Siri and keyboard shortcuts, but the in-app purchase is via a third-party and it's broken. The "Revenue.Cat" is missing. If you try to follow the support link on Apple's site, you are presented with a security warning. Beware. ### 1/5 — $$$ for a desk app? *2024-06-06, version 1.8.1* I was asked to pay $12.99 for an app to control an IKEA desk that cost $700+. Seriously? ### 1/5 — Can’t use the features *2024-01-29, version 1.8.1* The app didn’t let me control the desk. It won’t go up or down neither can I control the height manually. I don’t know if it’s the app or the desk. Very unfortunate. ### 1/5 — Ohne pro nutzlos *2023-09-01, version 1.8.1* Sorry aber 20€ für eine App die nichts kann was die originale App auch kann? Hier wird einfach ausgenutzt dass der Ikea Controller eine Funktion nicht hat. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-07-12, version 2.4* Works as promised with Ikea Idasen, much more functional than the Linak app that comes with the table. ### 5/5 — Отлично работает. *2024-06-27, version 2.4* То, что нужно. ### 5/5 — reminder sound needed *2023-01-18, version 2.3* Please play some alert sound when reminder notified ### 5/5 — 작동 잘 되네요 *2022-09-12, version 2.3* 데스커 모션데스크 밸런스가 리낙 모터를 사용하다보니 호환이 되네요. 아주 잘 동작됩니다. ### 5/5 — Obbligatorio per chi ha una scrivania compatibile *2022-05-15, version 2.3* Soddisfattissimo! La versone pro con il reminder "attivo" mi ha permesso di automatizzare la routine 15 minuti in piedi 45 seduto, per la prima volta da quando ho la scrivania. Utilissimi anche gli shortcut, e la possibilità di comandare la scrivania tramite un doppio tap su o giù del comando della scrivania stessa. Qualche piccolo problema all'inizio è stato risolto al volo dallo sviluppatore in solo 24 ore. ### 5/5 — Lifesave! *2022-04-28, version 2.3* Thank you so much for making this app. Having to hold the button to move the desk was driving me mad. Shame that Ikea don't have these memory features by default. ### 5/5 — Wonderful App *2022-02-08, version 2.3* Using it on both my Mac and iPhone. Working flawlessly with my Ikea Idasan sit stand desk. The app enable me to take full advantage of sit stand desk. Would love to see the functionality to automate sit and stand position on specific intervels, which forces the users to sit and stand. ### 5/5 — Works great with DPG1C *2021-11-24, version 1.8.0* I updated my controller with the DPG1C and the app works great. This is the only app I found so far that is most smooth with Siri Shortcuts. I use NFC tags to control my desk. ### 5/5 — Great *2021-11-04, version 2.1.0* It's really awesome ### 5/5 — Quick Developer Responses & Does exactly as advertised. *2021-10-18, version 2.1.0* Updated Review - After some issues with my purchase syncing the developer worked to help sort out these issues. With very swift responses via email. The app works exactly as expected, allowing me to quckly toggle the heigths of my standing desk from my keyboard without needing to to even open the app. Does exactly what I want so 5* all round. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
