Improved device software update process and stability.

User reviews

Excellent

I’ve been using this for 2 years now and it’s been faultless but please CarPlay is a must.

Wow!!!

In one short word… wow! What a game changer at a great price and easy to install. I had gate installers trying to sell me an entire new system for as much as $5,900.00+. I said I just want to upgrade my system so I can use an app to open the gate. Everyone claimed I would need an entire new system. Then I found Remootio 3! WOW!!! Easy to install. I can share a temporary code with friends and family and can open my gate with Siri or Alexa or one push on an app.

It’s ok.

You shouldn’t need to unlock your phone to use it. Would be awesome if Siri Shortcuts could run while phone is locked so when I’m within my geo fence the gate should open automatically

Brilliant

The most used app I have. It’s just perfect and I have had it over 2 years. Wiring instructions wereeasy to follow it integrates in the Apple echo system with ease. I cannot find fault with it

Started out great…

Was amazing to start, now the app just doesn’t work

Tried updating app. App up to date.

Complete waste
