### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-04-03*

This is the worst app I’ve ever had to use. It constantly disconnects. I wish I’d got an alarm from another company. The alarm app we had before using Banham worked perfectly.

### 1/5 — Like pulling teeth

*2026-03-13*

This is the most frustrating app I have and is clearly not ready for use. It takes at least 4 attempts for it to connect to the system even if I’m in metres of my WiFi and system. Very basic functionality. This is an embarrassment for the company and they need to get a professional designer on it pronto.

### 1/5 — Awful app - the 5 star reviews must be fake

*2026-03-01*

We got our banham alarm system up and running 2 weeks ago. The app that comes with it is awful.

Firstly, it doesn’t always work which is problematic 

Second, if the app does work it takes at least 2 mins to load and then when you put the alarm on or off it logs you out 

Go with a different alarm provider

### 1/5 — Barely works

*2026-01-12*

Doesn’t even open after latest Apple update. Before that it would usually take a few (sometimes a dozen) tries to connect.

### 1/5 — Truly terrible. Must be many false reviews

*2025-11-23*

Given the cost of a Banham system, the app is appalling. Slow, glitchy, and has a mind of its own. Last thing you need for a supposedly high-grade security system.

### 1/5 — Worst App

*2025-11-18, version 2.0.4*

This must be the worst app on the App Store. 
The team working on this obviously don’t care about their craft, the design quality or their user’s happiness. 

I would have expected a better user experience from Banham. 

It’s a shame that they’ve partnered with Pyronix, a company notorious for the worst user experience on both hardware and software.

### 1/5 — Worst app on the iPhone

*2025-10-21*

I simply don’t understand how this app apparently has such a high rating. It’s so unlikely anyone would give this 5 stars that I can only presume the company is flooding it with false reviews. The interface looks like something out of Windows ‘95, the success rate of connecting to the device is perhaps 1 in 5, most of the time you can’t scroll through past events (the screen just freezes) and it locks you out every time you do try to disarm or set the alarm. I’d ask the company to improve it but since they’ve been getting these reviews for five years it’s obvious they don’t care. I can only hope that at some point the poor service and high price point start to hit demand and they are forced to respond, though I fear it will be too late by that point. My advice to management would be to act first…

### 1/5 — Very poor

*2025-09-28*

Slow, hangs badly when trying to deactivate the alarm - which is really its only purpose. For the cost of the system, it’s rubbish.

### 1/5 — Will someone take note?!

*2025-03-10*

This is one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. Feedback from users from FOUR YEARS AGO has not been addressed. Almost impossible to get the app to connect to turn alarm on or off: it takes luck and lots of time. Virtually useless. If I had the energy I would leave Banham purely over their refusal to fix the app.

### 1/5 — Notifications useless

*2024-11-12*

Sadly this app is so badly designed as to be virtually useless.  It advertises smart notifications but it offers no control as to what triggers a message. As a result it notifies about every change of state producing a steady stream of updates.  I don’t need an interrupt every time a member of my household sets or unsets the system in normal operation.  I do want to know if there is an alarm state, but it seems unlikely one would be noticed amongst the avalanche of detritus.  Useless.
