### 1/5 — Widget not very responsive

*2026-04-21, version 3.0.6*

Paid Widget not very responsive

### 1/5 — Useless!

*2026-03-15, version 3.0.6*

It appears they’ve removed the ability to open and close the device unless you’re connected to wi-fi. I’ve tried resetting the wi-fi module and updating firmware, but it’s still not working.

### 2/5 — Won’t Connect

*2026-03-02, version 3.0.5*

We had this connected to our old provider but when we switched, it wouldn’t connect.  Have tried everything including reaching out to support but nothing works.  Even keep getting error messages about my phone not being. Injected to wifi when it’s. lol

### 2/5 — Why so many presses?

*2026-01-08, version 3.0.4*

Useful but why does it need to take  so many button taps for the action to register.

### 1/5 — Hopeless - don’t get this app

*2025-11-29, version 3.0.2*

I installed this app with a poweretech controller supplied by a company called GateMaster in Christchurch NZ.  That was 3 years ago.  The app has never worked - can sometimes “find” the gate on the network - but nothing more.  The vendor is hopeless - no response in 3 years - and I tried emailing Powertech and never got a response!!!  Now about to shell out for an alternative hardware and software !!

### 1/5 — Incredibly glitchy

*2025-10-27, version 3.0.2*

App was fine at first then it increasingly gets worse and more glitchy, won’t even respond to me trying to open and close gate now smh what’s the point of the app if the gate only opens when it feels like working 👎

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-10-01, version 3.0.2*

You need to pay to be able to use basic features

### 1/5 — App

*2025-09-30, version 3.0.2*

Why does this app connect to 5ghz wifi when it only works on 2.4ghz I am always opening the motor to reset it. Very frustrating this app needs to be fixed asap.

### 1/5 — Subscription for IOS widget

*2025-09-14, version 3.0.1*

Subscription for IOS widget not working, tell me why I shouldn’t asked for a refund.

### 1/5 — Buggy and refuses to delete from app after new WiFi

*2025-08-24, version 2.5.8*

After changing to new WiFi it no longer connects through that, tried to delete the gate from app but no Delete or Edit button. Now fails to connect altogether. Very buggy and limited settings, not recommended to use.
