Top reviews

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.

Newer worse problem

Now I can’t even log in. Delete and reinstall same problem - hangs in first screen. Maybe it doesn’t matter as apparently they’ve lost the Tapo functionality too.
Old:The underlying service is good, the Applets work correctly. I should be pretty happy, except that I now have to login to the web browser interface to connect Applets. If I do it in the app I get trapped in a loop of failed authorizations.

iOS app is complete garbage.

The latest update causes the iOS app to freeze with the spinning wheel of death. What a pile

I find broke down and tried the middle package. I’m still not sure I want to keep it though. It’s still not worth it. It was a nice concept though. Now it’s not working at all. The little circle is spinning and nothing is happening. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling it and I’ve tried to restart the phone. I even tried to reset the password. Nothing is working.

Not maintained in years

This app is completely forgotten. Nothing works well, or at all. Same UI for the last 200 years. And the applets dont even load on iOS for weeks, nobody seems to be aware of that for some reason!
Avoid it at all costs! I'm looking for an alternative now.

worst

The app hasn’t been working at all since the latest update.

Response from developer

Thanks for flagging this. The app not working at all after an update is something our iOS team will want to look into right away. Email support+ios@ifttt.com with your iOS version and what you see when the app opens, and we'll help you get running again. Update: Our engineers shipped a fix in v4.111.1, could you please try updating and let us know.
