### 1/5 — Zone status fail

*2025-05-23, version 3.8.68*

Spent about six weeks trying to get this app to work with my ELK alarm system. I even brought in an IT specialist to help. We tried numerous changes in the configuration as well as a new modem and a new router. Support was responsive and helpful, however, I was never able to get the app to stay synchronized with the status of the system and therefore it was unusable. I wasn’t able to arm the system because it thought the door was open or that it wasn’t bypassed. Unfortunately it’s been more than 30 days so I am not able to get a refund. Really disappointed.

### 5/5 — Great tech support

*2025-03-10, version 3.8.68*

The technical support for the app has been outstanding. I’m not technically savvy and the tech was very patient and responsive. He walked me through everything until the problem was solved.

### 2/5 — Poor screen fit

*2022-03-16, version 3.6.34*

Been using this app for last 2 years. Never displayed correct on iPhone 12 Pro Max. Been told the developer hasn’t programmed it to properly display on larger screens. Please spend the time to update your apps to properly display. The top is cut off and can’t easily use it. Particularly if I’m away and alarm is going off , need to see all parts of the screen to manage emergencies

### 5/5 — iOS 14 has messed it up but an otherwise great app

*2020-09-20, version 3.4.44*

This app has worked great for me up until iOS 14 got installed. Now it refuses to automatically update alarm status after arming/disarming unless you exit the app and reenter. I am sure this will be addressed in the next update.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2020-02-19, version 3.4.16*

We used the app for years and never had an major problems.

Haven’t reviewed in the past because it just work but I noticed an update and figured I would give input.

### 5/5 — Best App for the Best Security System

*2018-12-26, version 3.2.10*

The app works well with the Elk M1 Panel.   Installed on many systems and I love it.

### 1/5 — Awful. This App is unreliable and frustrating!

*2018-08-03, version 3.0.42*

Unfortunately Elk is the example of how money can’t buy you happiness, nor reliability, nor customer satisfaction. If you want to use you alarm remotely, this certainly is the biggest waste of money. It vary rarely connects. I have to enter and exit the app multiple times. And if sh it sticks I can finally do the thing I bought it for!

### 5/5 — Brilliant! Totally worth it

*2018-01-18, version 3.0.42*

This app brings the Ness M1 to the digital age. Really well designed app. I installed it and it got it working within 2 minutes. The layout is great and very clear. I have a ness m1 gold. The Apple warch interface is also very cool and usable. You can arm and disarm from the Apple Watch. My wife needs an easy to use system and this will do the job perfectly! No more key fobs!

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2017-01-21, version 3.0.16*

All I want to do is set the alarm from my bedroom. It doesn't work, it never has.

### 3/5 — Doesn't refresh data

*2017-01-14, version 3.0.16*

Using C1M1.  When arm or disarm, app will not show current status without exiting app and restarting.  Using elk link app, works great.
