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

Good concept but personally not worth paying for.

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.

Does Not Work Teliably

Was working for a while, all of a sudden the trigger to turn on the lights continues to work, but the trigger to turn of lights stopped

“Lots of bug fixes”

How many bugs were coded into this app?! is that all that can be achieved - fix the enormous amount of bugs / quality issues that were coded into it?? This app - over years - has not improved its UX or its UI - and certainly not to Apple’s recent operating systems UXs in the last couple years. And I do not own an android device. Why does this app make me feel like I’m using an android device?!

Total junk

Pro gets you nothing but ads to pay more to get what you used to have. You can diy for cheaper now!

Liars

“Pay what you want” yeah right. Terrible company.
