### 1/5 — Used to be great!

*2025-08-10*

Update: use m1 elk homebridge and never pay for this app again. Same features, except actual customization. Maybe one day this app with be improved and notification won’t be delayed, until then this app is a PASS.

2 years ago notifications were instantaneous, now they’re so delayed it’s use case is useless. This will be the last year I use this app/ELk if improvements aren’t made. Despite what you may say, this is not an apple or google issue, this is due to the company being penny wise and pound foolish.

### 5/5 — Amazing Support

*2024-11-16*

The app works great with my Elk M1 Gold. The developer has always been responsive and helpful whenever I’ve had questions. I absolutely recommend this app.

### 5/5 — No brained, get this!

*2021-04-19*

So simple to setup and works every time.  I use AT&T which doesn’t allow DDNS, so without shelling out big $ for static up, there’s no way to connect to the M1 at home...until now.  A Huge thanks to Aaron for this!

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your 5 star feedback!
