Applic *2026-06-27* Je vous déconseille ### 1/5 — Da sistemare immediatamente *2026-05-18, version 6.2.0* Dopo il nuovo aggiornamento non arriva più l’allarme sul telefono, STIAMO SCHERZANDO? Sistemare immediatamente ### 1/5 — Penosa *2026-05-13, version 6.1.3* Fa pena, ora non si inserisce neanche l’allarme. Non sempre arrivano le notifiche e non sempre le telecamere sono visibili. E paghiamo pure per questa inefficienza ### 1/5 — Home automation disappeared and layout different to the one shown. *2026-05-11* The screen shots on App Store show the familiar screen with home automation on the menu . So on that basis I updated the app. Now the layout is totally different from the original and one that you show and no home automation tab ??? . So I see there is a different legacy app . I assume that will be the one I need to install . Not a good experience. ### 2/5 — Alarme widget sur l’écran d’accueil *2026-05-01* Raccourci widget sur l’écran en accueil pour l’alarme sa serais super et les notifications d’alarme au lieu par mail plutôt en bannière sur le téléphone franchement ### 2/5 — Fallos de conexión *2026-04-16, version 6.1.3* Con frecuencia da fallos de conexión. Dice que el sistema no está conectado. ### 3/5 — Problema notifiche *2026-04-09, version 6.1.2* Con l’aggiornamento 6.1.2(9) le notifiche arrivano ma non suona il telefono. Le impostazioni sono corrette. Non ho verificato se arriva la chiamata della centrale. Posso avere un supporto in merito. Grazie ### 1/5 — Alarm was going off but no notification *2026-03-31, version 6.1.2* The house alarm went off today and I wasn't notified on my phone. When I looked in the app it was telling me the alarm was going off. The previous version of the app always notified me. ### 5/5 — Biometrics *2026-03-31, version 6.1.2* Good app, any way to turn off biometrics permanently off if one chooses not to use it? ### 1/5 — FATAL ! *2026-03-29, version 6.1.2* Empezó funcionando bien, pero ahora no funciona nada y no sirve para nada. No sé si tienen que actualizarla o algo tienen que hacer ## Frequently asked questions about FreeControl ### What can I do with this app?
