### 1/5 — Poor quality app

*2026-06-08, version 1.24*

This app only works when it feels like it. It's garbage.

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2026-05-02, version 1.24*

Piece of junk doesn’t pair. Lame developers not fixing their lame app

### 1/5 — Getting worse and worse as time drags on.

*2026-03-10, version 1.24*

The app used to work well, but slowly everything is failing, no longer connecting, losing features, and losing the ability to connect/reconnect/control accessories. This thing was a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-12-10, version 1.24*

Hey RYOBI you tricked us into buying these garage door opener’s at Home Depot with great sale prices knowing that you had just lost a major lawsuit from another garage door manufacturer and you had to discontinue selling/manufacturing any future wireless garage door opener’s. The least you can do is update the app for those of us that took it up the butt because of you.

### 5/5 — Still working

*2025-10-18, version 1.24*

I’ve had the app and the garage door opener for years and it is still going strong.  Hope Ryobi can bring it back one day.

### 1/5 — App is junk

*2025-08-17, version 1.24*

Garage opener is quiet and smooth. The remotes do not connect well at all and the app is absolute JUNK!

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-08-12, version 1.24*

Garage door opener is awesome. The app is the worst. It quit working and no one at Ryobi can figure it out. I can only open the door but not close it. I can’t get into account settings to update app or delete it and re install. Totally worthless

### 1/5 — 👎🏼

*2025-03-27, version 1.24*

Total junk . App didn’t work 3 years ago and it still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Abandon

*2025-03-06, version 1.24*

Was never the greatest but now it’s officially horrible might be lucky to get it to work once a week, took me months to get it back in the app assuming that was the issue but clearly the software has been left behind in the dust

### 1/5 — App error

*2025-02-28, version 1.24*

App stopped working again.  Been over a week now
