### 1/5 — D

### 4/5 — Love this product

*2025-04-15, version 3.1*

Love it because I can leave the house in my wheelchair and have full control with my phone

### 2/5 — Review

*2025-03-30, version 3.1*

You’re terrible and should be in business, because you’re incompetent. I want to go home and your idiot review won’t let me open the lot I’m writing this review, so I can get out and go home

### 1/5 — Poor Range

*2024-12-16, version 3.1*

The app and device work well but you have to be in really close range. Was hoping I could open my garage from somewhere further than right in the front door.

### 5/5 — You tube

*2024-12-04, version 3.1*

Easy to find and follow example.

### 4/5 — Alternative from Wi-Fi to a Bluetooth garage opener

*2024-10-20*

I love this Bluetooth garage opener. We have a main gate that all of us in the house access. Having this app and this device is such a helpful alternative than buying a $30-$60 garage opener. Per person.
The flexibility and range of this app and device are great. And I would recommend it to someone who has a family/large that needs access to their garage or gate.
Easy to install and easy to connect.
One downfall of it is that for concrete house the range is limited to only the opening that is not concrete meaning the door.
Overall I love it.
thank you from the Philippines

### 5/5 — Convenient

Works great

### 5/5 — Spinx

*2024-03-21, version 3.1*

Works like a champ

### 5/5 — Garage Door Opener
