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…

Potential... But
No iOS Shortcut actions :( ... the basic hub seems to limit the actions or providers even more, not sure why they'd sell something that hamstrings the button functionality. I had to make incredibly complicated integration just to run Shortcut that makes a iOS intercom announcement for handicap person.

Probably the worst thing on the automation market
Aside from the ridiculously high prices, the product is woefully underperforming.
I’m about three or four years into using FLIC LR and FLIC 2 buttons and tired of resetting the hub to factory settings.
I have been using the buttons for light controls via Alexa but it’s just so flaky.
Time to give up.
I have a working Home Assistant server running and have Zigbee and Matter devices, as well as Tuya, so I tried using the FLIC with that… but the software is so bad that I would rather stick pins in my eyes than spend another minute using this tool!
I’ve replaced the FLIC buttons with SONOFF buttons via Zigbee and it’s time to sell this FLIC garbage to some other mug to lose sleep over.

flic buttons won’t pair for phone app
The flic buttons are programmed in the hub but aren’t detected by the phone portion of the app.
Long lasting
Have so many around the house with flic hub LR. Works great now and got them when they launched on kick-starter in 2020 and still working well.
Update fails
Aside from the shambolic performance issues and poor functionality of the flic twists and the connection to Amazon always failing. Now the hub won’t even update to try and fix the drop out.
Does not work with HomeKit
Bought because it says it supports HomeKit, but it never actually adds the buttons to HomeKit.
Best Button for a smart home!
Flic is the glue that ties my smart home together. Even with Alexa or Siri, sometimes it just best to control your lights when you walk into the room by the press of a button. Flic paired with the Flic Hub provides the fastest, I mean instant control of lights and other devices! Matter is also supported with their hubs which makes the buttons even more powerful. I love flic and how easy they make it to control almost anything with their devices.

Such garbage
What a pile of hot shot. This is the wrist iot product ever created. Such sloppy engineering. Buttons constantly fail to work and flash randomly. Have a box of these buttons. I keep them as a reminder to never buy tech products without researching them first
Horrible customer service and spotty connections
Very disappointed, would not recommend this product.
Own it. Hate it.
I have the buttons, twists and hub. Trash. Always disconnect. Very limited functionality. CLOSED to any possibilities such as hubitat or home assistant. When this company and app does so will the product (YOUR) product. Also, Matter is support is nowhere even though they advertise it in one of their App Store screens.

Latest Update Crashes Constantly
Unsure if the last update introduced this bug, but as of the latest version, attempting to set an Advanced push and twist action for a Flic Twist immediately crashes the app.
Flic app crashes
The app crashes every time I click on Flic Twist advanced setup
Connectivity issues
Not sure where the problem is but had trouble connecting to Wi-Fi out of the gate. After force quitting I finally got it connected to the hub and now it can’t seem to find my Sonos speakers. Guess I’ll never know how good the buttons are
Disappointed with app support for Twist
The lack of support in the app for the Twist is disappointing and frustrating. Especially since Flic has had at least 2 years to build out the software in parallel with the hardware. At least allow for more than 4 points in the Advanced Dimming mode.. This would greatly help actually using the Twist as intended!

They don’t reliably at all
Constantly disconnects from Bluetooth and then can’t reconnect it without completely deleting and re-adding the button. Even after doing that, it just loses the connection again after a couple of days, awful.
In addition, there’s no shortcuts support. I thought I’d be able to run a shortcut by pushing a button. No such luck. I would never recommend these to an iOS user
