### 3/5 — Apple Watch

*2022-06-18, version 1.0.20*

As others say, app is ok but a little basic. Would like it to set using Siri. But mainly would like it to work from my Apple Watch. App not yet compatible.

### 5/5 — Hkc.

*2022-02-08, version 1.0.17*

Been an alarm engineer for 43years. I can honestly say that HKC are by far the most stable app and system out there.  The SecureCom app is great for servicing servicing and flash upgrading from my phone. 10/10.

### 3/5 — Please update the app!

*2021-09-11, version 1.0.17*

Great app and I use it daily, but keeps crashing and glitching out. Also interface takes way to long! Hkc have fantastic service and their equipment is brilliant but the app is crying out for an update!

### 1/5 — CAUTION

*2021-06-21, version 1.0.15*

If, like most people, you put your phone on silent when asleep, and the house is broken into whilst you are away, YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY NOTIFICATION and warning as the phone is in do not disturb and/or silent mode. 

This rather defeats one of the main objectives of the app and needs fixing.

### 4/5 — Time for an upgrade?

*2021-06-12, version 1.0.15*

The app is simple enough to use, and does what needs doing. However the UI does feel a little clunky in places. But my biggest ask would be for Face ID or fingerprint ID. I’d give 5⭐️for that

### 4/5 — Please update

*2021-04-08, version 1.0.15*

Good App. Please update it to give CRITICAL ALERTS so that I don’t miss notifications in do not disturb mode.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2021-02-27, version 1.0.15*

I am the owner of a security company and we have used many different makes of intruder alarms and their apps. HKC has to be by far the most reliable alarm and app that we have used to date. Five stars from us at NSWUK.

### 1/5 — Charge you for the app and a subscription

*2021-02-10, version 1.0.15*

This company not only charge you almost £8 to download their app - they then charge a monthly fee for notifications - I have just been billed by my security company for notifications fees to tell me when the alarm is armed or disarmed / set off and they said it’s a charge from HKC they are passing on 

Total rip off avoid HKC products

### 2/5 — Basic functionality

*2020-12-01, version 1.0.15*

The app works but is very very basic the interface needs an urgent upgrade and refresh to bring it to the times. The app also needs to integrate to home automation apple homekit,Alexa,hive, ANYTHING would be a step up. Touch authentication or face recognition would be a step up.

### 3/5 — Good but could be improved

*2020-11-06, version 1.0.15*

The app works and is simple to use but just a little basic for a geek like myself. 

It would be great to leverage the Shortcuts app with Siri to allow phrases such as “Hey Siri, secure the house” as I’m getting into the car or using HomeKit automations so when I’m away from home (location based services) it turns the alarm system on automatically. 

Also, faceID/touchID would be beneficial to bypass passcodes.
