### 2/5 — Can’t get it to work with Alexa

*2023-04-26, version 3.0.22*

I linked my nu-heat account with Alexa successfully, but none of the devices could be discovered which means I can’t control my thermostats using Alexa voice or app.
Tried to call NU-HEAT support to help me fixing the issue, but they just didn’t want to deal with it and just referred me to Heatmiser.
So I deleted the app and installed the heatmiser app instead. Linked accounts and all my thermostats were found straight away.
The nu-heat and heatmiser using the same database so I can login with my nu-heat account to heatmiser.

Don’t bother with this app, just download and use heatmiser app instead

### 2/5 — John Ayers

*2023-02-13, version 3.0.21*

All the system is expensive costly to RUN do not beleive 1 KWH returns you 3kwh

### 2/5 — App doesn’t refresh

*2021-12-05, version 3.0.18*

I have 6 thermostats couple of them shows WiFi symbols but app always shows them “offline”. Not sure if this is sync issue of the app with thermostats but this issue is giving enough headaches. Dev can you please look into this issue? If there is a bug fix please apply a bit fix for this issue, thanks

### 1/5 — Good system but !!!

*2020-12-03, version 3.0.16*

Sadly they use third parties to install and the one we used is not very supportive. Also when phoning the head office the technical guy just referred me back to the installer !
Real shame as my friend is just building a new house and I really wanted to recommend a local company ! You can but try

### 1/5 — Not working in iOS 13.2

*2019-10-31, version 3.0.10*

The app no longer works in iOS 13.2

### 1/5 — Not great

*2019-01-22, version 3.0.5*

I wish there was an alternative to this rather inconsistent application.  

Turns heating on randomly

### 3/5 — Barely usable app with poor UI design and many bugs

*2018-12-23, version 3.0.3*

Disappointed by this app and my nu-heat underfloor heating system. I won’t go into detail about the UFH system since that’s nothing to do with the app....

* The main status screen isn’t always up to date. When switching to the app, it doesn’t automatically update or refresh, often showing you old info (e.g. not current temperatures on the thermostats). You have to force quit the app and restart it to get the current info since there’s no pull to refresh or similar feature. This is basically functionality that should just work.
* Horrible clunky UI that looks like something from a Windows app circa 1995.
* The app isn't intuitive or easy to use.
* The in-app instructions for adding new NeoAir thermostats are wrong and don’t work. You have to follow steps from the user manual to properly add a new NeoAir. And the discoverability of adding a new thermostat is terrible. There’s no simple ‘Add’ button. You have to click Edit and then “Add Zone” - who would think to Add a Zone when trying to Add a thermostat. Why not just a simple “Add Thermostat” button?
* The app doesn’t support the screen sizes on the latest iPad Pro and iPhone XS/XR models. Instead it runs in compatibility mode with black bars at the sides.
* The app doesn’t support basic iOS feature such as pull to refresh, swipe back, multitasking (split view and slide over), Siri Shortcuts, etc.

### 3/5 — Still some work to do

*2017-12-08, version 2.0.152*

The update works. It’s the user interface that’s in need of improvement. It was fine before. Why choose green (environmental? It’s burning energy!)? The tone of the green is too pale against the white and the font needs to be bolder. Blue was so much more restful. Check the science of contrasting font and background colours and ease of reading. Pale yellow background and mid to dark blue font is better. 
The Home page should be panels like before. There’s a lot of bare screen. 
More importantly, once you select the room or zone, the display shows a temperature dial, which you can touch and dial up or down. However, the settings menu is barely viewable at the bottom of the display. Only half of the words ‘Comfort levels’ is shown. You just have to scroll up the screen to reveal the lower part of the display. Why not make the temp dial a bit smaller to allow the lower menu to be seen and ‘comfort levels’ in a bold font? 
Also, help pages? What are profiles and recipes?

### 1/5 — HomeKit how?

*2017-07-22, version 1.6.60*

Seems that HomeKit support is just getting access to other registered accesssories as opposed to allowing one to control heating from the home app. There are no instructions in the app or the developer website.

Edit - Nuheat support say you need to buy the new neohub+ £159 to make it work. My new 2 month old neohub is not supported. Rip off.

### 1/5 — Muppets

*2025-09-27, version 3.0.25*

I think there’s been an update recently and now the app is showing no devices (thermostats) connected so I’m going to have to set everything up again. Absolute muppets.

### 1/5 — It is complicated.

*2025-03-23, version 3.0.25*

It is complicated, the pages and terms used are not Intuitively worded or laid out.

### 1/5 — Not fit for purpose

*2025-02-25, version 3.0.25*

100% disappointed
I only have three control areas, kitchen utility room and shower room
The system will not allow individual settings to work e.g. I want the utility room to never rise above 19° no fall below 16° and that’s what the program shows but the actual temperature in the room is 25°
In contrast, I won’t be showroom to be up to 22° and at the moment when it was supposed to be there, it is very cold 
A number of intelligent adults have tried to understand the system, but none has succeeded in getting the temperatures I want

Don’t know what good this review will do, but I have very little hope and would certainly NOT recommend the system

### 1/5 — Dreadful app

*2024-10-12, version 3.0.25*

Impossibile to use this - so many contradictions in it - it says one profile and uses another, the settings do not hold, no logic to it al all.

### 1/5 — App seems to be down?

*2024-01-01, version 3.0.23*

My-heat app is not letting me log in - says “cancelled”. I am unable to register under a new email address either. Very unreliable and frustrating

### 1/5 — Poor poor poor

*2023-03-30, version 3.0.22*

App has been down now for a week. Nu Heat say it is the developers fault I just want a system that will work 😡😡😡

### 1/5 — Enhanced settings

*2023-03-22, version 3.0.21*

This app is too basic We’re in unprecedented times and energy is rocketing there should be more flexibility on the app

### 1/5 — Utter rubbish.

*2022-12-13, version 3.0.21*

Won’t accept profile changes. Totally useless and desperately in need of an update.

### 1/5 — Disappointed -

*2022-12-04, version 3.0.21*

No instructions provided with hub no instructions with App.  Still struggling

### 1/5 — Hub keeps dropping off

*2021-01-09, version 3.0.16*

App needs modernising

### 5/5 — Mangerdine

*2022-11-29, version 3.0.21*

Using Nu-Heat UFH in our near passive house with biomass as our heat source. In three years I still can’t get to grips with this system - very disappointed.

Six years and I think I have got to grips with the system.

Three neostats have failed in the last six months which is not good

### 5/5 — Does just what I need it to do

*2020-06-06, version 3.0.15*

Does just what I need it to do

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2019-10-28, version 3.0.10*

So simple and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-03-23, version 3.0.6*

This app is an example of how app development should be done. Totally intuitive and beautifully clear. I have been using this app for only 2 weeks but have found it to be amazing. Setting up the hub and pairing the neostats was a doddle and coverage over a large house was really impressive. It has worked faultlessly, if only other apps were this good!

### 5/5 — Don’t download update if away from home

*2018-12-23, version 3.0.3*

This update meant I lost all my settings, had to unplug the hub and reset every zone. If I was away from home thy would have been impossible. So don’t download this cosmetic update if you are away on holidays

### 5/5 — I like it

*2018-12-13, version 3.0.2*

I bought my Nu Heat System just over a year ago, including the electronics that would allow me to control and monitor the system from my phone. It is really good, overall.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2022-12-13, version 3.0.21*

But sometimes crashes

### 4/5 — This is great but…..

*2022-04-23, version 3.0.18*

I agree with all of the 5* ratings for this app but unfortunately, the release of the Nu-Heat versions lag behind the original author’s versions of this app called Heatmiser. 

Many new features of the (identical to look at) Heatmiser app in their own latest version are missing from Nu-Heat. 

When I contacted Nu-Heat and asked why they lagged behind, they said that they were reliant on Heatmiser to offer them the latest versions. They suggested that if I wanted the latest features, then I should load the Heatmiser app and use that instead.  A disappointing response from a company that normally offers excellent customer service.

### 3/5 — Could be a lot better

*2021-11-01, version 3.0.18*

The user experience in profiles is poor and clearly depicts the programmer’s logic not everyone else’s.

### 3/5 — Useless

*2021-09-30, version 3.0.18*

The system signals the heating is on as does the app but it isn’t. What’s the point? Manual controls would be better.
