Update?
We need an update...iOS 8 doesn't function properly!! Loved it up until that happened!
Update for iOS 8???
This app is great when running properly but since updating to the new iOS, the app isn't as polished as it once was. I'm sure it will be fine once an update comes.
Thermostat A+. App C-
This app does not help ecobee sell thermostats...in all honesty it probably hurts sales. Lets hope we get a full featured iOS 8 compatible app soon...for all ecobee legacy thermostats...and not just something new for those who upgrade to ecobee 3.
Blind people do not buy this thermostat
Unusable with voiceover.
NEEDS UPDATE
This app needs an update for ios 8.
Very slow to update app
Hello!!! Is there an update for iOS 8 coming soon, because it does not work well.
No ios8 support
Hope they release an update for ios8
Works very well
Edit sept2-14: Any updates coming? Would still be nice to be able to control smart plugs, humidifier/HRV from the app!
This app works very well for basic thermostat functions.
It would be very nice to be able to control my smart plugs from the app. The web portal/website isn't very iPhone friendly so using the app for more functions would be much easier.

Great product
I have 7 of these units -4 for my office and 3 at home. Reliability is the primary reason for using ecobee versus other products such as Honeywell and others. Easy, intuitive interface and works perfect every time.
Very clunky and un-iOS
While I love the ability to control my thermostats from my iPhones, iPads, and Macs, the app is very clunky and the interface is NOT slick like iOS apps should be. Please give us a real native app, not this web app! The interface of the thermostat itself, while not fantastic, is way slicker than this app.

Horrible customer support for an inaccessible application.
My comments may not be of general interest; I'm totally blind, hence use the voice over feature available in iOS.
Using this app, it was impossible to make any adjustments. I wrote Ecobee tech support and they made it clear and no uncertain terms that they couldn't care less!
I should mention, that my mother, though elderly can see perfectly well, but she had trouble figuring out how to make I just mints to the thermostatthis using this app also..
Needless to say, I exchanged the ecobee for a honeywell and both my mother and I are easily able to adjust all settings using Honeywells iPhone app.

Bleh, Goodbye Ecobee, hello Honeywell Lyric.
After two months of owning a pair of Ecobee Smart Si thermostats, I'm officially done with this company, like I was with NEST before it.
I gave this app a positive, hopeful four star review saying that the app needed a serious and major design overhaul, but in the two months time since then, Ecobee just sat on their laurels and twiddled their thumbs.
To be honest, this app is really an ugly mess and it seems that Ecobee couldn't care less about its user experience. It doesn't use a clean iOS 7 design. It doesn't have a simple portrait view. It's not available for the iPad. And it simply takes too many taps to do any sort of function.
I gave this company a chance but I'm moving on. Two months is an eternity in app years, especially for a young, growing company. So now I just got a new pair of Honeywell Lyric thermostats and not only is the hardware beautiful, but the app is gorgeous and incredibly functional. I can positively say that I'm liking it better than the NEST app, though both are beautifully designed. The Ecobee app, in contrast, isn't even in the same ballpark.
Although time will tell, right now, count me as a happy Lyric owner and returned customer to Honeywell.

Ugly app
No portrait view almost impossible to manage more than 1 AC. Ugly UX
Good TStat - Poor App
I'm glad to have the exobee thermostat, as it was the only remote control tstat that would operated my complex system ..... but jeeze guys!! If you can make a great tstat, can the app to control it be ao tough? This app stinks. It locks up. I can change temp, but app remains at same temp as before. But most times it just doesnt work at all. Please update this app!!

Few issues
The temperature jumps back to the original setting when adjusting from iPhone 4S. Very frustrating!!!!
Not iOS 8 Compatible
Work ok with iOS 7. Needs some design changes to make it easier to use and defiantly needs an aesthetic make over.
Now that I'm using the first iOS 8 beta, it doesn't go past the login screen.
Now is the time to refine the app when you add iOS 8 support.

Decently functional; missing a few key features
Useful to turn on heat on the drive home, or to check current house temperature. Would be nice to be able to change the schedule, which would look great especially in a much needed iPad version.
Doesn't work
This worked great when we first installed it. It's the only one that works with a whole-house humidifier.
However, this app hasn't been working for a couple of weeks now. The actual thermostat no longer functions properly either. When changing temperature, the app and thermostat will slide to change temp, but pop right back where it was. For instance, if current temp is 72 and I try to change to 68, I can slide the control, but when I take my finger off, it pops right back to 72. Up or down, no matter what the attempted change, just does not work anymore.
Doesn't work 99% of the time!
Called for support, service updated, but still doesn't work. Tried hard restart on phone for app, tried deleting and reinstalling the app -- doesn't work!

App and Wall Differ
Works great functionally, however I have 2 thermostats and the fan/cool/heat status icons do not seem to appear when controlling one of them so cannot tell if the fan/cool/or heat is actually on. Works fine on the other thermostat.
Missing ventilator control
The app is missing a control to operate the ventilator feature of the thermostat. So if we are away for a extended time we can't refresh the sir in the house. Otherwise a good app.
