Absolute trash

I, like I suspect most people would, downloaded this app to do one thing, here’s what happened:
-First, the app requires a paid subscription. There’s a 1 week free trial but you need to provide payment information first.
-Second, it was SUPER invasive. Not to mention special occasions, it seems to send you spam every single day. But worst of all is how much access it demanded to access Spotify, HEAPS more than it should’ve needed.
-Third, it plain didn’t work. Built-in troubleshooting was worthless, looking for guidance online was useless.
-Finally, deleting this trash has proven unnecessarily troublesome. Ending my subscription was easy enough, it also let me keep the remainder of my free trial, the troubles started after that. First it asks for a review, then, without warning it asks for a password… which password you might ask, seeing as you signed in with apple? Not your lock screen password at least. So then I went an ‘reset’ my ifttt password, it doesn’t specify how strong a password it wants, and not just anything will do. So then I went and did it a second time, later, putting in the new password into the delete account password prompt, it gave me a new error… Something something, pls delete your apple subscription, and the apple subscription already registers that the subscription is ending, and can’t be any more ‘deleted’ than it already is. So now I wait

Dangerous

I’ve had an alert sent up for my home Radon detector to alert me when the Radon levels reach a dangerous point so I can turn on the crawlspace fan to evacuate the air. For more than a year I was under the impression that the Radon levels in my crawlspace were at safe levels but come to find out they’ve been at toxic concentrations almost daily and IFTTT never once sent me a notification per the applet that was created to monitor my Ecosense radon device. Not a single notification!!! I only discovered this today because I decided to put a whole home dehumidifier in the crawlspace and noticed the radon detector was in the red. I looked at the Ecosense app and was blown away by what I saw. This is unacceptable and I’ve already reach out to a personal injury attorney about this and have a in person meeting on Monday (8/31/26). Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and number two overall behind smoking. So I’d say my reaction is proportionate. IFTTT should not connect to devices that are literally monitoring life or death situations because the technology is clearly not robust enough for these kind of actions. Use this app and technology at your own risk.

Changed to 5 stars.

I deleted my 3 star review because I was having issues with it not working. I have a dehumidifier in the garage that turns off when the door opens and turns back on when it closes. I had a TP-Link Kasa plug to control the dehumidifier. It turns out TP-Link stopped supporting IFTTT. The of course never announced that to users. So I blamed IfTTT. Well not their fault. Now using a Govee plug and all works as it should. I will reinstate my subscription as the problem was not due to IFTTT. It’s a great utility and I really like it.

Tapo

Deleted app as no longer works with Tapo
Not sure who initiated the parting of ways, and, as it worked until 1/8/26 (August not January!) I’ve given it 3 stars

Poor

Poor customer service app didn’t work

Poor Free Trial Policy

There’s no communication that free trial will
Be expiring soon and charges the full amount without any recourse. Beware of this

Premium Applets

Very intuitive applet extentions

Sort of works

Paid for an annual subscription in hopes that IFTTT would fill the gap in home automation…sadly, it doesn’t. I wanted basic HUE functionality and it just doesn’t work. Turns on the lights just fine, but never turns them off. If you can’t trust it for the basics, will I really trust it with something important. It’s a nice play toy! Not serious business!!

Two steps back

Way to stop support for certain devices. Now I just need to figure out how to cancel my account cause I don’t need this app anymore since they’ve decided to go in a different direction and stop support for certain apps.

Used to always work

I loved this app until about a couple of months ago. I have a dehumidifier in the garage on a Kasa smart plug. When the garage door opens it turns off the dehumidifier. When the garage door closes it turns it back on. Used to work like a champ. Now it’s intermittent. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it gets it backwards. Booked it so much I subscribed to support them. Now that it is almost useless to me I have canceled my subscription. Very frustrating.

Emails

I’ve been unsubscribing from IFTTT emails for over a year now. They kept coming. I checked my web account multiple times to make sure all those boxes were unchecked.

Then I click delete my account on the website because I’m hoping the emails will stop.

I was then sent an email confirmation to delete my account. Confirming on my phone meant I had to then download the app.

That’s when I saw email preferences that only appear via app and not the website.

They were marked as “important alerts for your account” but those aren’t how I would describe the emails I was sent.

Now I can delete my account from the app though. I’m not verifying I wanted to delete my account btw. I have to reclick delete my account.

Edit: I selected delete my account, used my Passwords app for the IFTTT login (that I just used for the website and the app) and it said incorrect password. No deleted account.

Dependable

I’ve used this app for over a year and this particular automation has saved me plenty of time.

Now no Tapo

Working well now, but the impending loss of Tapo integration means 50 percent of the usefulness to me is gone.

Great

Great I love it. Lookin forward to more features.


Needs MORE

Good concept but personally not worth paying for.

I’ve been using this app for years and when I first started, I was mightily impressed. Over the years, applets stopped working and the app wasn’t an important thing anymore. Now, the new thing is to pay monthly subscriptions for better apps, but I’m not one of those “jump on the bandwagon” people anymore. If I did, I’d be paying hundreds of dollars that I could be spending elsewhere because almost every app wants you to pay more money to them on a monthly or annual basis.
I finally broke down and tried the middle package. It’s nice to be able to use multiple outputs but I’m still not sure I want to keep it. It’s still not worth it. It was a nice concept though.

Thanks for fixing the app, though!

App doesn’t even load.

I tried to contact via web but it’s seemingly impossible to if you’re not a Pro member.

App is buggy. I recently redownloaded it and it is stuck loading. Nothing responds to a tap.

Doesn't load

The app on iPhone doesn't load. It stucks in the loading screen and no response after that.
