When was the last time it was updated? Why does it not work a majority of the time? It’s supposed to be a safety feature but it does nothing for us but keep us on edge. Please, please, please fix it! ### 1/5 — 0 Star *2018-12-20, version 2.00.005* No consistency but when it does work the app never shows armed or disarmed ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2017-12-17, version 2.00.004* I only have this app because I need it for my alarm - obviously. Whenever I try to unset my alarm from my phone, i have to do it 5 or 6 times before it works. If it even works at all. It will only allow you to arm and disarm the alarm you cant bypass interior sensors or anything. Seriously need to upgrade this application. ### 1/5 — Does not work anymore *2016-12-14, version 2.00.004* Used to arm and disarm unit. Now it just tells me the status of my unit. I can't arm or disarm like I used to. ### 1/5 — SO DISAPPOINTED!! *2016-09-19, version 2.00.004* Previous reviewer says app does what it is supposed to do-arm & disarm the unit. So far from the truth. This app is NOT reliable. Remote indicates the system is disarmed, only to find the system armed. NOT good at all when you are trying to give access to the property. Grandchildren do not appreciate having to provide proof to law enforcement that they have permission to be in the house. To many times am informed app cannot communicate with system. Standing right outside the house & it can't communicate. I do not recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Lacking it all!!! Even the basics *2016-01-05, version 2.00.004* This app is for arming a home security system so you'd expect it to be secure. that's why it doesn't require a password??? It also will only arm the default setup so there is no way to arm internal traps such as motion detectors. The writers of this app need to start over!!! This app could not be any worse ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2015-11-27, version 2.00.004* The app constantly crashes. It doesn't keep my login information so I am constantly re-entering it. This app needs lots of work. ### 1/5 — Does not work on iOS 9 *2015-10-27, version 2.00.004* Please update app. It stop working once updated iOS ### 1/5 — Alarm app *2015-10-12, version 2.00.004* Worst app ever it doesn't work at all, despite updating the iPhone. Stay away from buying this alarm. If I could rate oooo I would. ### 1/5 — Not reliable *2015-10-06, version 2.00.004* Always seem to have problems with the App. Hardly ever works when I'm away from home and often loses the password I have set. I'd like to set my alarm quickly or as I'm going to bed but often I have to go to wall keypad because the app isn't working. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App never works *2024-10-19, version 2.00.006* This app didn’t work well to begin with now it never works ### 1/5 — My Home Starkink App Napco *2022-12-04, version 2.00.006* This App is not reliable at all. In this day in age, with the technological advances available there is no excuse not to have a more detailed and reliable way of controlling your alarm system from your IOS or Android device. This is why many people are choosing Simpli Safe and Ring Alarm systems over this antiquated and unreliable technology!!! ### 1/5 — Needs to be updated. The operation page is not formatting properly for the latest iPhone software. *2022-08-24, version 2.00.006* Please update the app. ### 1/5 — This App is a Crapshoot *2021-05-07, version 2.00.006* Sometimes is works, sometimes it does not. It only does two things, arm or disarm my home security system. I can’t believe I paid for this as an upgrade. It is totally unreliable. I wish the developer would take these reviews to heart and fix this piece of crap. ### 1/5 — Antiquated *2020-12-26, version 2.00.006* I’ve used the Star Link app for several years now and at best it’s been unreliable and at worst dysfunctional. I’ve had an alarm tech out several times but nothing they do seems to stick. I’m about ready to throw the whole thing out and start fresh. ### 1/5 — Quit working *2020-04-03, version 2.00.006* This has been great until about 3 mo ago when it started acting up. Today it just bugged out altogether and won’t reload! Ugggg! ### 1/5 — No *2020-02-07, version 2.00.006* Awful, doesn’t work half the time. I can deal with the lack of being able to choose arming in stay or away modes, although that would be nice, but this app is not reliable, and in home/family security reliability is kind of important. The creator needs to delete this app or fix it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2020-01-10, version 2.00.006* I’m currently trying to use it - my dog needs to be cared for - and I have no way to let someone in the house! It keeps saying try again later. I’ve been trying for 40 minutes, I updated the app and still nothing!! Fix it!! ### 1/5 — Update needed *2019-12-11, version 2.00.005* Please update and fix display and dependability ### 1/5 — Worst App ever *2019-11-12, version 2.00.005* Updated my iPhone and app doesn’t work anymore only half of login info can be seen asked for help form my alarm company they say it the app itself and can’t get a response for help from Napco don’t waste your time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Decent *2020-05-22, version 2.00.006* Lots of bugs that needs to be fixed could be a great app ### 5/5 — It works call napco though *2016-09-30, version 2.00.004* I am an alarm installer and this app works the way it is supposed to - thanks Dave ### 5/5 — Works very well !!! *2016-08-24, version 2.00.004* I honestly think there are a lot of people out there that don't know what they are doing. The app does What it was designed to do - simply arm/disarm alarm system, which it does very well!! ### 4/5 — So far so good *2015-11-10, version 2.00.004* Only had this app for a short time but seems to work as advertised. I can arm/disarm my system remotely. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work (actually it does) *2020-11-30, version 2.00.006* UPDATE: To get this to work I had to enter my account information, then deselect the account entry, press Home, and when it complained that I needed to select an account, select it again. Don’t ask me why, but that appears to have worked. I have this application on my Android and it works absolutely fine, though my credentials were wiped out (apparently) with the last minor update. Does not work on this iPhone and I’m putting the credentials in off the original card given to me by our alarm company that I also used for my Android phone that does work. Thanks for the low quality job. ### 3/5 — Needs Updating *2019-10-03, version 2.00.005* Setup screen is only half visible. Would like notifications and possibly an option for “stay/away” modes. But at the very least plz update for smooth opn with all the new phone updates and upgrades since this app was last maintained. Not unhappy, just needs some polishing and/or some quality TLC after we’ve spent some heavy pocket change on your security systems. ### 3/5 — A little unreliable *2017-10-21, version 2.00.004* It’s only supposed to do one thing: arm/disarmed the alarm, and it does after a few tries. Two problems: 1) it should require the phone password or finger id to work; 2) it often doesn’t connect properly, requiring a retry, or worse reporting the wrong alarm status. Looks like a dynamic dns problem where it fails to get the right Ip for the alarm, but I’m just guessing. ### 3/5 — Getting there *2017-08-14, version 2.00.004* I wish it would give the option to set it for either stay or away. Entering a password would be a great addition. ### 2/5 — Having trouble *2019-09-28, version 2.00.005* Unable to connect to network all on different stores. ### 2/5 — I dependable *2019-08-12, version 2.00.005* The app either can’t respond at this time or it says the alarm is off but it’s still activated. Works once in awhile. It can’t be trusted. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
