Useless
Just Doesn’t Work. Nothing else to say.
Plain old garbage
This app doesn’t work and neither does the other version you’ll find on the App Store . Both just don’t work at all . Customer service is not knowledgeable or even helpful . It’s almost like this is an orphaned product . And looking at the reviews - others have been having this problem since its inception . Don’t buy this product !

No support
Bought gable vent with wi-fi in 2020. Lost password to connect. GAF has no documentation on its website from legacy products. I just needed the password… Guess what. Its GAF12345. found from a review on google play store. If you want a tech product with zero support, documentation. buy this
Total garbage!
So many problems with this app and the process, and tech support couldn’t care less!
Hit and Miss
Operates as a standalone Wi-Fi server or Bluetooth. Relatively easy to use and operate. Generally set and forget. Wi-Fi connection is frustrating as it drops out and you can only reconnect by shutting the power on and off. It is what it is and easier than climbing in the attic every time you want to make an adjustment

This app is a joke
I paid the extra $10 or $20 for this fan due to it’s so called “wifi” capability.
What a joke. Can’t connect to my home network of other smart devices. If I could give this zero stars I would.

This app is garbage
Just like everyone else said, it doesn’t connect for $h!t.
Really not WiFi connected.
You need to switch to vent WiFi every time you want to control the vent. Also you can check it remotely. Very inconvenient to keep switching WiFi from home to vent WiFi every time.
It does not connect to your home network.

Waist of space…
Most positive reviews are from new installers. Unfortunately they will learn this App will only let you view the default programming if you can get it to connect properly. It will not allow you save or change the default programming to the device. It will eventually default back the standard program every time. This app is useless as is the wifi device it connects to. The negative reviews are from users who have owned the device and realized their set programs where never set.

WiFi? Not so much…
Connects only to the GAF WiFi internal to the vent…no way to connect the vent to my home WiFi. So no way to monitor/control the vent when I’m away from home. Stupid…
Very weak app
This is a really poor app. At best it can be given one star because you can set the vent fan & turn it on & off which in my case eliminates the need for a ladder in the attic. It does not connect to your network so you cannot control it outside the home. Using wifi you either connect to the fan or you home network. The best choice is to connect via Bluetooth after updating the firmware. It even lacks the ability to refresh without closing & reopening the app. I expected better from GAF. Hopefully they will improve it over time but based on my brief encounter with their support staff I doubt it.

Can’t change passcode
Called gaff to find out how to change the passcode to my fan because it came with no instructions on it let alone a password to even connect to it in the first place. They say you can’t. So basically anyone with this app that gets in proximity of my home has the ability to mess with my attic fan.
Junk
Constant off line with a clear pathway. Set up was easy however it doesn’t work 99% of the time! Now can’t get it to shut off runs constantly
Works great
I had the same issues as everyone else buy it’s the phone and not the vent. The issue is the phone need to connect to the vent wifi and when it does and your phone sees it doesn’t work it connects to the cell tower signal even if your phone says it’s on wifi. So all you need to do is disconnect your phone from the cell tower which is easy to do with a swipe and click so no big deal. I’m amazed how something so simple becomes so complicated for most people.

Worked like a charm!
I’m a roofing contractor and we just installed two wifi vents. Once they were powered they showed up on the list of available wifi connections. You can only connect to one at a time but, my phone connected to them no problem. Then, the app found the connected device no problem. I could turn the vent on manually or turn it on with the thermostat setting. I made settings for the first one, then I switched over the connection to the second one. I turned it on and off through all avenues, and made settings for it. Then I switched back to the first one again and, the setting were still as I put them. I updated firmware immediately so, hopefully these things will continue to be this awesome for years into the future!

50% rubbish
In my case the fan is all right ...it moves air. The controller and app are rubbish and sadly GAF is 0 help.I have three of these units. A bit Fiddly to connect but controllers Technically worked the first couple month or so. Now a year and a half later none work. Tried just about everything. GAF would not replace the controllers with standard ones. Not even selling me some at a discount. :(

Not dependable at all
This app barely works at all. Constantly freezes. Restarts don’t help. Read out from device (temp and humidity) seems wrong. I plan to remove the WiFi unit, install a simple temperature switch, and delete this app off my phone.
Confused By Negative Reviews
First off I am NOT affiliated with GAF or their app developer. That being said, I’m confused as to why there are so many negative reviews on this product and the app. I installed the gable vent fan using rubber insulator washers placed between the four “L” brackets and wall studs. It is located directly above my home office and I can barely hear it when it’s on (and yes, my hearing is fine!) The app works as advertised so I’m wondering why so many negative reviews? I’m very happy with my purchase and I’m really glad I took a chance and ignored all the negative feedback. This is a good product that is reasonably priced.

This app is horrible!
Why does the fan constantly disconnect from my device?? It does not operate at default settings if it’s not connected to a device by the way. It just turns on and constantly runs. It’s 85 degrees in my attic with 30% humidity and it’s set for 90 degrees and 50% humidity. Default is 105 and 75, but it’s lower than that and it’s running. I even set it up to run off of separate device that stays home at all times and it constantly runs anyway. Ugh!!! Gaf you need to fix this problem.

GAF Bluetooth
Useless if you change WiFi provider. App doesn’t recognize wifi or Bluetooth.
