Not sure why but randomly my opener will lose connection, requiring going through the connection set up etc, and then randomly days later connecting by itself. I love the app when it works! ### 4/5 — Mostly love *2026-08-24, version 6.10* I think it’d be even better to have the option to crack it (maybe select what size we want the gap to be). I have a cat that goes in there and with the app I can’t crack it enough for her to get in and out. I can’t always tell where she is and it’s been an issue. ### 3/5 — Over pretty good. *2026-07-26, version 6.8* Needs apple CarPlay and Apple HomeKit support ### 4/5 — Interface *2026-07-14, version 6.8* Excellent app The interface could help better if there was a clear option to turn on/off notifications ### 5/5 — This app works well, but….. *2026-04-25, version 6.7* I love the app, I really love my 3 super quiet and reliable OHD openers. The app needs more buttons. For instance, a close all doors button would be nice. Perhaps a jog button when you only want it open a small amount for ventilation. The ability to set up notifications if a particular door has been open passed a programmable amount of time. The industry leader should definitely have the best app, thanks for reading. Best Regards, Nat Eckhoff, Nats Electric ### 5/5 — Love this door. *2026-04-20, version 6.7* Best product. ### 3/5 — Disconnect *2026-04-02, version 6.7* Whenever the system goes down I never have a direct number of who to call I have to hunt around to see who can help me. I would like that to get better thank you ### 4/5 — Limited *2026-04-02, version 6.7* It would be of greater value if there could be more than one person controlling door ### 3/5 — Apple Home *2026-03-24, version 6.7* I really wish the OHD unit and app worked with Apple. ### 5/5 — Like the app *2026-03-16, version 6.7* Easy to used and gives us comfort to know that it’s user friendly enough to have control. ### 5/5 — Great product *2026-03-15, version 6.7* So easy to use, from anywhere. Made our home easier to live in ### 5/5 — Garage door *2026-03-12, version 6.7* Great app ### 5/5 — New Door *2026-03-02, version 6.7* Had our new garage door installed and it is simple amazing. The app works great. ### 5/5 — Garage openers *2026-01-23, version 6.7* I love the convenience of being able to open or close my door, even when I’m not at home, particularly if I left it open. It’s just one more secure feature to know that my door is open - such that I can close it or at least find out if it’s an authorized family member. I would highly recommend. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer work for my Legacy 850 *2026-08-14, version 6.10* It used to work perfectly fine until a month ago it stopped working. Can’t get the device online…not sure it has anything to do with iOS.26 ### 1/5 — Great.. when it works *2026-06-22, version 6.8* This app is great when it works. Half the time it says “not connected” for some reason or another and reconfiguring does not help at all because it can never connect to the network it needs to connect to. Then one day it’ll randomly send you a notification that the garage door was opened or shut and it’ll work for a few weeks until it messes up again. I hate this app. ETA: the app support button leads to an ERROR page! Do better overhead door! ### 1/5 — Never works. Terrible app *2026-04-22, version 6.7* I went and bought this garage door opener specifically because this app had good reviews and I wanted one eye control with my phone. Unfortunately, three months in, I still cannot get this app to work. I go through the steps to connect to Wi-Fi over and over again. It never works. So then I even went and bought a new router because potentially the type of Internet was an issue, that didn’t work. I’ve gone through the steps so many times and every time it fails to connect. This company has really gone downhill, this app is completely useless. I’ve sunk a ton of money into trying to make this work and it just never does. Furthermore, it’s a little ridiculous that in order to set up the Internet, you have to climb up and press a button and scan a QR code that’s on the actual opener. So meanwhile, as I try over and over again to set this up, I just have to keep climbing up on a ladder. Nobody could think of a better way Honestly, this is 1996 technology and it’s really bad. Definitely do not recommend. ### 1/5 — No longer supported? *2026-03-09, version 6.7* This app was quite useful. Now, though, it simply tells me my data is being moved to the new platform and it will only take a minute. If I click on App Support here in the App Store, I get a 404 Error. ### 1/5 — Stability *2026-01-21, version 6.7* I have found the OHD Anywhere app to be very unstable and would not recommend it to anyone. I am constantly having to refresh the app in order to maintain connectivity/pairing with my garage door. It requires an awful lot of contact with the OHD Anywhere customer service department again. I think the app is unstable and would not recommend it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work consistently *2026-01-16, version 6.7* It rarely stays connected for more than 48hrs ### 1/5 — Trash product *2026-01-10, version 6.6* When it rains it goes out. It stays offline more than operating remote my. This is trash. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t let me type any responses, so I can’t set it up *2025-11-17, version 6.6* Trying to create an account, but the app doesn’t provide a keyboard for me to enter the information it asks for. So I can’t use it. So it is completely useless. ### 1/5 — Amazon In-App Advertising *2025-09-01, version 6.4* Please stop covering up my garage doors in app with a damned Amazon ad. I will never enable that integration. Let me dismiss it permanently. Thank you. ### 1/5 — I should not be getting ads in this app *2025-09-01, version 6.4* Super scummy move to advertise in an app for a device I spent thousands of dollars on. The $50 per year you make from these impressions is not worth it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very impressed *2026-09-07, version 6.10* I like the Siri shortcut to say open and close garage door. Couldn’t believe the garage by default supported this - so easy! ### 5/5 — WiFi connection *2026-08-31, version 6.10* Had problems reconnecting with my WiFi. Called service and was on hold less than 2 minutes. The technician that helped me was extremely helpful. He explained that I had to delete my door and re-register my door. The technician talked me through the entire process and now my door works great. Very happy I purchased this opener ### 5/5 — Apple Home *2026-08-11, version 6.8* Please allow Apple home to control door. ### 5/5 — Works great *2026-07-23, version 6.8* I’ve been using this app for 3+ years. No issues. Always notifies me when the door opens or closes. Simple and very useful app. ### 5/5 — Simple *2026-07-20, version 6.8* This app has been a life saver , our remote gave out some time ago and was very unreliable now we get in and out with ease ! ### 5/5 — OHD *2026-07-03, version 6.8* Great so convenient. Love it. ### 5/5 — OHD Rocks *2026-06-21, version 6.8* Love it! ### 5/5 — Absolutely love my new Garage openers *2026-06-21, version 6.8* I love the convenience of being able to open or close my door, via WIFI, even when I’m not at home, particularly if I left it open. It’s just one more secure feature to know that my door is open - such that I can close it or at least find out if it’s an authorized family member. I would Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — OHD Anywhere App *2026-04-30, version 6.7* I love it! ### 5/5 — Siri compatibility *2026-04-28, version 6.7* A good app that I overall like. It’s great that I can control it with Siri voice commands. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
