### 4/5 — Connectivity Issues

*2026-04-12, version 4.0.0*

I was loving this app, but it frequently logs me out and I have to send a verification email each time to gain access again.

### 1/5 — Unstable

*2026-02-16, version 4.0.0*

Every third day I have to reinstall app as it does not stay connected

### 1/5 — Constant log in problems.

*2026-02-13, version 4.0.0*

I have to enter my email address for confirmation emails about every other day. Is there a better app I can use please??

### 1/5 — Updates suck!

*2026-01-29, version 4.0.0*

They updated the app and I can’t login! Keeps getting caught in a loop to reset password!

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2026-01-14, version 4.0.0*

Lost my ability to log into the app after 5 years of using it and it won’t send me an email to let me log in. They told me to delete the thermostat (how exactly if I can’t log in?) and disconnect the thermostat from the internet. Now the thermostat is disconnected, the app still doesn’t work and I can’t reconnect it. Worst app and thermostat I’ve ever used.

### 2/5 — Notifications not working; wifi connect stalls

*2026-01-05, version 4.0.0*

With all the money this company has they should fix this bug ridden app.

### 1/5 — Have they moved to another app??

*2025-12-22, version 4.0.0*

My heat pump and furnace was so expensive, then to have to move from nest to the Johnson HX thermostat was such a downgrade. If I use another thermostat like nest or ecobee, I would lose features like fan speed control. This would be after spending lots more to rewire for those thermostats. At least this one worked ok, but now it doesn’t even open. So disappointed in my choice of heat pump and thermostat.

### 1/5 — Cannot connect

*2025-12-14, version 4.0.0*

Been over a year now and this thermostat will still not connect.  It will connect to the Internet, but the app will not connect me to the thermostat. I have tried so many times and still can’t get connected. Very frustrating.  Please assist.

### 1/5 — App will not open IOS

*2025-11-29, version 4.0.0*

After the update the application will not open on my iPhone. Up until this update the application worked fine. Frustrating to not have access to the thermostat remotely.

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2025-11-29, version 4.0.0*

The app functioned flawlessly and then about a month ago it asked for login and has been worthless since. I’ve updated and still have no function and no guidance on how to correct anything.

### 1/5 — So So

*2025-11-18, version 4.0.0*

The software stinks. Unable to to confirm login, unable to register product, & unable to use Alexa to control it.

### 1/5 — Still can not connect to cloud and thermostat

*2025-11-18, version 4.0.0*

Updated the app after the change of the “cloud” site.  Went thru the process to re-set up the connection.  The app connects to the local wifi broadcast, connected to my network, then the app just has a spinning circle when it tries to finish what ever it is supposed to do.  When are you going to fix this?

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-11-17, version 4.0.0*

The app worked OK until about 10 days ago, when all of a sudden nothing worked at all. The app is critical for me because it handles the HVAC systems for a mountain top home, and especially in winter I need to be able to remotely control temperatures in the house.. For over 10 days, the app was unavailable. But today, I finally managed to reload the app. Neither of the dealer, installer or factory rep were able to help. The app failed to load any of my prior information.. It took me three hours this morning to add two of my three thermostats. The third one cannot be added, although at least three of us have all tried. I am getting rid of the HX thermostats because they operate on all this absolutely horrible app. I would give it negative stars if I could!

### 4/5 — Won’t connect

*2025-11-17, version 4.0.0*

Edit : After an update from app I was finally able to reconnect and control everything again 

It will not allow me to connect or allow me to log in since a week ago. Before that it worked fine and I could control everything. Now the thermostat has lost the wi-fi and won’t reconnect

### 1/5 — Poor coding leads to frequent login issues

*2025-11-17, version 4.0.0*

Every time there is an update, there are login issues. The app sends a confirmation code but it won’t log me in. There is an indeterminate time frame for resolution and it may or make not work for hours or days or weeks. If I knew this app functionality was so poor I would have bought a different heat pump.

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2025-11-16, version 4.0.0*

The app functioned flawlessly and then about a week ago it asked for login and has been worthless since. I’ve updated and still have no function and no guidance on how to correct anything.

### 1/5 — Worst App Experience Ever

*2026-07-22, version 4.0.0*

The constant login problems and once fixed, login problems again.  Not a WiFi issue, all connections work.  It never ends with trying to use the app and it puts you back to square one with getting things authenticated again...  9/10, it’s easier to just go to the thermostat and make any changes.  So disappointing and so annoying.

### 1/5 — No longer works with Google Home

*2026-07-05, version 4.0.0*

No support for months now.  Customer support (once I finally reached someone) blamed Google. No update.  Had I know this, I would have bought a different HVAC.  Never had a problem with Nest.

### 1/5 — SAVE YOURSELF! - now it doesn’t work at all.

*2026-06-12, version 4.0.0*

I’m going to call the supplier and get this thermostat replaced.  Very expensive trash.

### 1/5 — App and thermostat are completely junk!

*2026-06-11, version 4.0.0*

Id give less than a zero for stars! App always logs me out and loses connection and not even available to log in. The thermostat is the biggest piece of garbage ive ever experienced not to mention expensive. Thermostat temperature is way off and not even close to what it actually is. The York system and customer service is beyond terrible and wont even talk a customer. Never ever buy this garbage its an expensive paper weight!

### 1/5 — Lost connection almost daily.

*2026-05-19, version 4.0.0*

I’m going to post every day this happens. This app is 1 star trash

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-05-11, version 4.0.0*

I wish my air conditioner company would have never used this app. The recent update has made it worse and I can no longer use it. It is the worse app ever. They blame the update on a domain problem but that was months ago and they have never updated it since. I am so frustrated with them.

### 1/5 — Imagine having to re-sync your Bluetooth speaker every time you want to use it.

*2026-05-04, version 4.0.0*

Absolute trash. I have to re-enter my email address for confirmation emails about every other day.   I can’t use WiFi at all. Hate this app!

### 1/5 — Absolutely not user friendly

*2026-04-19, version 4.0.0*

The limit of one email address and 2FA being required for any login make this one of the least user friendly applications out there.

### 1/5 — Constant log in problems.

*2026-03-30, version 4.0.0*

Absolute trash. I have to re-enter my email address for confirmation emails about every other day.   I can’t use WiFi at all. Hate this app!

### 1/5 — Deserves zero stars

*2026-03-04, version 4.0.0*

The app has taken to requiring multiple logins over a very short period of time, sometimes as little as five minutes apart.  Each login changes the password so forget about saving that info. The thermostat itself gets the same rating if only a little better.  Can’t change it out due to system mfgr.  Yuck.

### 5/5 — Issue started today

*2026-07-08, version 4.0.0*

The thermostat displays the correct indoor temperatures and remains connected to Wi-Fi. The Hx app can change heating and cooling setpoints, and the thermostat responds immediately. However, beginning today, the app displays incorrect indoor temperatures for both zones while the thermostat itself shows the correct temperatures.
