What's New in iSmartgate Access

2.9.0

August 12, 2026

Live video, right on the door screen Watch your garage in real time without leaving the app. The camera view now stays locked in place while you scroll, and the door header no longer disappears when video is playing. Faster, easier iSmartgate MINI setup The Wi-Fi setup for MINI and LITE 2 has been rebuilt from scratch: clearer screens, no more freezes while scanning for networks, and full translations in all supported languages. Fixes for MINI devices with older firmware The settings menu now opens correctly on MINI units running firmware older than 1.7.0, and the event history loads reliably instead of getting stuck. Longer battery life Background animations and screen refreshes have been optimised, so the app uses noticeably less battery while it stays open. More stable cameras Several crashes related to IP camera streaming have been fixed, and camera images now load correctly the first time. Other improvements Smoother event history updates, minor interface fixes and general stability improvements. Thanks for using iSmartgate.

Baffling app

Just the worst app I have ever come across. Keeps asking for passwords at seemingly every step, the passwords are not automatic cally saved in Passwords app, so inevitably you forget them, you get logged out and have to reconnect everything again, there is very little logic or flow in the way the app works, I am currently stuck with a Red Cross trying to connect to my device and no help at all on what to do next. Ironically the hardware is quite good - just totally ruined by this dreadful app

Not great

Upgrades make it worse. It worked fine until they force an upgrade and now it rarely works at all. An analog remote control works better!

App has terrible UX

This app needs some serious UX design. Very annoying to use. Also breaks all kinds of Apple UI standards. Not using proper login controls. Doesn’t work with password manager integration. Doesn’t register a proper app domain. Much more.

Hardware is fine mostly, but this app is junk.

CarPlay

To the user that wants CarPlay functionality. I can confirm with the smartgate LITE that I have had for a few years now, once integrated with Apple HomeKit does indeed show up on CarPlay once you’re near home. You may need to set a Home location first in Apple Maps-Places-add your home address. Or contacts-My Card

Why does my audio playback need to be canceled on my phone when I open the app?

Review title says it all, current version of this app stops my music playback whenever I open the app for some stupid reason. Considering this app has no access to my audio for playback of any sounds, I am baffled. I hope the developers see this review and fix this glitch.
