Functional but UGLY

Can you just pay someone to design the app to look modern. It’s ugly and cumbersome to use

Not great

Not sure if it’s their server’s issues, but every time I arm/disarm the alarm in my home using shortcut, it takes 5-10 seconds to complete. But at least I’m thankful that it does support shortcut, so that I don’t have to deal with its decades old looking subpar UI. Really, it looks like it was made in MS paint, you guys need to do something about it.

Please update this app

App is super outdated and honestly is a big eyesore, but it works somewhat.

Siri Shortcuts for Displaying Armed/Disarmed Status

Rather than open the app, I use widgets based on Siri Shortcuts to Arm or Disarm and this works fine. I receive notification to confirm system is Armed or Disarmed.
But it would be better to also see Armed or Disarmed status on widget. Currently none of the Siri Shortcuts exposed by iFob app return status.
For my Yale smart door lock, Yale actually provides a good widget with both control & status combined. Something similar for iFob would be excellent.

IFob app

Completely useless app, constantly sending messages “portal unavailable “ it’s rubbish do not buy it, the installer said app is based in AU and is no problem at all but it’s not true.

Works well..

…would be improved by having time based triggers eg. Door 2 locks automatically at 7pm etc.

Siri

Thanks for the response to my prev question on Siri however I can’t seem to make part arm
Work - when I select arm area instead of arm all areas the same thing happens (full arm)
Can you please provide some details on how to set this shortcut?

Thanks heaps !

Desperately seeking security

The App works great

I initially had a problem connecting to the panel with the app, however after immediate help from the developer I was advised that i simply needed to update my panel to fix the problem. Now I’ve updated it, the app works perfectly. Thanks again James Jones and the team from My Alarm.

Great app!

Thank you for the Siri Shortcuts integration!

This brings so much for functionality to controlling my Bosch alarm remotely :)

Dreadful

Clearly written by someone who has never seen an iOS app before. Horrible to look at and barely functional.

Angry

A day out from going away and iFob decided not to work thanks for your rubbish app

Please make your app available on the I watch

Ok u til the new update 👎

Was a great app up until the last update. Why was the part arm button removed from latest upgrade??

Wifi connection issues.

Every time the wifi restarts (black outs or me resetting the wifi modem) the panel has issues connecting to the app. The error message ‘panel unavailable’ is displayed. It’s annoying as I have to organise for the alarm installer to come out and reset the panel for me again. I when no problem using the panel to arm and disarm manually. I the app also feels very outdated, can you please give the option of muting when it’s armed and disarmed etc, it was a novelty at first but now I find it irritating.

Excellent

Very happy with this app. Can do everything with it while away. Very helpful as I can see who is at the premises. Highly recommended HISTORY IS NOT WORKING AFTER IOS16. Please fix. HISTORY CAUSES APP TO CRASH
Thanks for fixing it. It’s great as usual.

Meh

Ok but I’d happily pay for a version that did more and intergraded with Siri.
Very basic.

Great app

Love the ease of use and freedom it’s given and of huge benefit as I’d recently had an accident, fallen and couldn’t get up, my husband who wasn’t home at the time, had grown concerned and had rung a friend who was then able to see me through the window lying down and he was able to open the garage door so she could then get into the house and arrange for me to go to hospital 💕

Apple Watch and CarPlay integration

I’d love to be able to turn my alarm on and off and or open the garage door using my Apple Waych and CarPlay integration rather than having to reach for my phone.

Otherwise the app works well

Love the app and the functionality! Simple to use

Would be great to have a future update where it’s compatible with the Apple Watch

It works, but… needs some fixes

Could we please just fix the issue where the app requires a restart, every time you transition to or from Wi-Fi, before it is able to connect again?

And could we please have an option to turn *off* the voice announcements entirely? They’re a novelty at first, but after a while it just becomes plain annoying and pointless.
