### 1/5 — What’s the point

*2020-06-06, version 2.2.1*

Looking for an app that interacts with my actual panel and this come up... what’s the point?

### 1/5 — Only for demo not for real

*2020-01-02, version 2.2.1*

This is the most strange app. It is like a fake app, no login, no registration, no connection instructions. Did you guys just put a shell of an app out there for demo so you can sell the product?

### 2/5 — Just a Demo

*2019-11-14, version 2.2.1*

This app is just a fake demo to show the features of the system. It doesn’t actually link to your panel or give access to it in any way. I thought this would be my key in changing the date/time! Nope.

### 3/5 — Needs advanced settings screens

*2019-07-27, version 2.2.1*

I'd love to use this app as a training tool similar to the IQ Panel emulator you have up. But the advanced settings screen shots are not available here. Please add those to make this a fully featured demonstration and training tool!
Keep up the great work!

### 1/5 — While good demo, bad product

*2018-08-22, version 1.0*

Update: Demo represents fairly well the real product. But actual product itself, the interface is confusing, things are hidden deep into the settings, camera image is terrible, some things don't work such as weather info always shows hi 0 lo 0 - I guess they meant the quality of their product and not the weather. Motion sensor doesn't work well. Door sensor is pretty good but has a state machine fail when openning a little but and closing and opening it will continue to show open even closed. Does not connect to Google home / Amazon echo or IFTTT. One good thing is Alarm.com app is pretty good and works well. Overall buggy, doest not integrate with the IoT popular community, and UI design is not that great. I wish I had a choice and Toll Brothers didn't force us to use this crappy product. As soon as our contract is over I'll town it in trash and get something better.

### 2/5 — Camera views and doorbell not working.

*2018-07-31, version 1.0*

On the iPhone X the display is really large and too crunched together also the camera and doorbell views do not work and show empty boxes needs a lot of work.

### 1/5 — N

*2024-08-18, version 2.2.1*

That app is fake

### 1/5 — Bad idea

*2023-12-04, version 2.2.1*

I have the home system. It’s quite good. This app is a dumb idea. It’s just a demo. Nothing that can’t be done on a web page.

### 1/5 — Does nothing

*2022-08-14, version 2.2.1*

Just a stupid demo that does nothing. All the 5 star reviews were clearly written by the same person.

### 1/5 — Inutile

*2022-01-13, version 2.2.1*

Ne ce relie pas au système

### 1/5 — Useless!

*2021-09-14, version 2.2.1*

Demo and not functional at all. Could’ve titled the app differently to avoid customers wasting time…

### 1/5 — No functionality

*2021-09-04, version 2.2.1*

Not actually an app that allows you to control the panel.

### 1/5 — Fake App- Do NOT download

*2021-07-16, version 2.2.1*

This is just a demo of the system, not an actual app that you can link to your panel. Waste !!!

### 1/5 — DEMO Only

*2021-07-11, version 2.2.1*

The app is misleading. It has no functionality. It is only a DEMO and should be labeled as such.

### 1/5 — Demo Only?!?

*2021-03-22, version 2.2.1*

What’s the point?

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2020-06-06, version 2.2.1*

Where is the real app?

### 5/5 — Demo

*2024-01-03, version 2.2.1*

This panel demo is great! I love being able to show people how the IQ panel works. It creates a better understanding for those interested in buying the actual panel.

### 5/5 — So cool

*2022-12-01, version 2.2.1*

This app is a great idea

### 5/5 — Good but needs work

*2019-04-13, version 2.2.1*

It is amazing but there should be an alarm siren that goes off until you turn it off and there should be a countdown when you arm it.You should also have a photo frame.Those features will make people see a lot of the features the IQ Panel 2 can do. I promise it will make everything better.

### 5/5 — Great work!

*2018-09-07, version 2.2.1*

Awesome app after the update!

Would still like to see the panel visually on the app for actual size reference, as any tablet emulating the panel is going to be much larger than the 7” panel display.
Great update, app is a must have for any sales pro.
👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Perfect for sales reps and techs

*2018-08-17, version 1.0*

We us this for demonstrating the features of the IQ Panel 2 during the sales process with the customer.  It it very impressive how much detail you get from the emulator.  This disarm photos feature is also awesome.

Our newer techs are able to use this to become more comfortable with explaining the pa els and it’s features.

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2018-08-17, version 1.0*

I really love being able to show customers how the panel looks and feels using this emulator. It acts as if it’s a real panel! It even takes pictures and stores them on the disarm photos page. Great sales tool. Thanks Qolsys!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-08-17, version 1.0*

Awesome emulator! Great way to show friends and family the panel

### 5/5 — Great for trying it out

*2018-08-17, version 1.0*

This emulator is the perfect way to try out the IQ Panel 2 before you buy it.  You can swipe through the various product categories like lights, locks, thermostats and more, so that when you decide what you want to buy from your provider you’ll know exactly how to use it.  

Love how when you disarm it uses the iPhone camera to take a picture and pretends it’s a disarm photo.  Really cool, and far superior to the website emulator on Qolsys.com. 

Don’t listen to other idiots who aren’t smart enough to figure out that this is just an emulator, not a way to control panel.  once you make a decision to buy, your dealer/service provider will get you the right app for that and make sure it works.  

Definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — Very nice!

*2017-12-04, version 1.0*

A great emulator to the panel. Excellent job replicating functionality. This is going to save us a ton of time.

### 4/5 — App

*2024-07-14*

It's good for demo but they want all the buttons to work in the options menu and also the different sensors on the side of the screen so I can hear what it sounds like
