### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-17*

This app is so buggy and cumbersome. Even basic functions can’t be done. It has not been updated for years!

### 4/5 — Works

*2026-07-07*

App and appliance work fine to trigger my gate. Integration with Appel Home requires the included sensor (even though my installation does not as my gate auto-closes after a delay). Tech support helped me solve the integration quickly and it just works. No fuss.

### 5/5 — Great System and Service

*2026-06-17, version 2.8.2*

I have seen a lot of people state they have had issues with the App or setup. Ok to be fair I did get my GoGate2 professionally installed but that was some years ago and I have two doors controlled and never an issue with the App or the device until I change the batteries in the remote device. It was a simple fix that the support team advised me of which was just make sure the battery clips were pushed in a bit and hey presto all works again. As far as I am concerned a fantastic gadget which saves me so much time coming home from work and just driving into the garage without getting out the car. Would highly recommend.

### 1/5 — Anbindung CarPlay fehlt….

*2026-02-13, version 2.8.2*

Die Installation mit dem automatischen Öffner von Sommer überhaupt kein Problem. Sinnvoll wäre es natürlich nicht am Handy fummeln zu müssen, wenn ich im Auto sitze, was meistens der Fall ist wenn ich es in die Garage/Carport fahren möchte, sondern über CarPlay. Sonst macht das alles wenig Sinn. Frage an die Entwickler: wann kommt das Update?

Die Werbung auf der Homepage, dass keine weiteren zusätzlichen Geräte notwendig sind, ist schlichtweg falsch behauptet und gelogen, um Kunden anzulocken. Die Wahrheit ist, dass ein Apple Pod benötigt wird oder etwas äquivalentes. Hätte ich das gewusst, hätte ich die Finger davon gelassen. Leere Worte keine Rückmeldung vom Entwickler und falsche Versprechen.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work after ios26

*2025-10-09, version 2.8.2*

Had a Gogogate2 for 10 years and upgraded to iSmartgate Lite earlier this year to add Homekit. It went in fine, first time. Since ios26 the automations stopped working so I have deleted all instances of it and factory reset. Despite following the instructions, waiting for a solid blue light and a flashing green status light, it will not connect. It does ask for the app to be allowed access to the wifi but nothing more. Once done, the device has a green wifi light and I can see in my router that it is connected to wifi but nothing in Homekit and nothing in iSmartgate. I can only conclude it does not work with ios26 and I now have a brick

### 1/5 — Baffling interface

*2025-07-25, version 2.8.2*

This app has the most totally baffling interface I have ever seen. Really difficult to set up (I am a tech geek) so likely to be impossible for most users.

### 1/5 — Keep waiting for updates

*2025-06-04, version 2.8.2*

After IOS16.2 couldn’t use properly

### 1/5 — Es funktioniert nicht mehr

*2025-02-14, version 2.8.2*

Geht einzustellen und nach ca. 5 Minuten meldet das Gerät keine Antwort mehr. So nicht mehr zu gebrauchen.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-12-07, version 2.8.2*

Same as other reviewers here, works most of the time until it doesn’t. Absolute theft.

### 2/5 — Not good

*2024-12-05*

Extremely inconsistent. I just redownloaded it because I thought I had an old version. But nope. Just a really poor app. The product is ok. Not as inconsistent as the app but still not great.

### 2.9.0 — 2026-08-12

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.
