Not user friendly!
Struggling here! Trying to link flic with Lockly!
Stuck in a bygone age
I bought these buttons specifically because they can interact directly with the iPhone. But all the options in the app are just junk, trigger a fart sound, really????
Flic buttons are not cheap by any stretch but they are dated technology. No support to open up apps on the iPhone, no support to open up shortcuts on the iPhone. Without this these are useless. There is a way using a web browser to open the shortcut but this triggers an are you sure pop up that you have to unlock your phone to click and then it works. Junk. Developers need to implement radical changes to make this useful in 2026 and make flic relevant.
I know there are workarounds using accessibility and full keyboard control but my point is at the price of flic buttons you should not need bodges and hacks, flic just need to pull their fingers out and make their product work.

Underwhelming trigger options
So much to like about the form factor and concept. However, I’m not able to use these buttons for my needs (triggering custom iOS shortcuts) without a paid ongoing IFTTT app subscription. I’ll dive into Reddit discussions now and spend more hours trying to figure out how to co figure this button will save me a few seconds for my intended use - app workflow setup. Maybe these are ok for home lights integration though.

Doesn’t work
I have one button I’ve reset it four times and it still doesn’t work.
UPDATE broken
Everything with my Flic system controlling my Alexa and Sonos devices was working great until an update yesterday. It’s obvious that the update created issues for additional users who were not initially impacted by the alleged “bugs”. Super disappointing to have my entire system rendered useless. Hoping a fix is made soon…
