Please update your apps so I can continue to use my phone to control my devices. Thanks ### 5/5 — Cool and works! *2021-07-23, version 2.2.0* "It's a great app[?. Everyone can enjoy 3-day trial now!👽👺 ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-11-01, version 2.2.0* Works great! Especially when you have someone who knows exactly what they’re doing install and set up the system and app instead of trying to DIY it! ### 1/5 — Complete JUNK *2020-07-29, version 2.2.0* I’ve never seen a worse app in my life - and I’m in the software business so I see a lot of software. I could go on and on with examples, but I’ll save you the time: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. This app must have been created by people with no UI experience. What a joke. If I could rate it a zero I would. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-11-01, version 2.2.0* We’ve been using URC Total Control since 2011 and are very happy with it. It is a system that MUST be dealer installed to ensure it works 100% properly, any negative review I’ve seen is typically someone who tried to program it themselves or had an in-experienced installer do it for them. Great system.!!! ### 5/5 — Works great *2019-04-23, version 2.2.0* Works great just have to restart your device if it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Crashes/closes to iPhone home screen *2018-03-21, version 2.2.0* Selecting the zone to be controlled “home” on network makes app instantly disappear. What junk. URC system is essentially a paperweight ### 5/5 — iPhone X optimization *2018-01-08, version 2.2.0* This app needs to be optimized for the iPhone X!!! ### 2/5 — I'd expect more considering the thousands of dollars this system cost *2017-04-22, version 2.1.9* Thousands of dollars later and remote access works almost never..... thanks Obama. ## Frequently asked questions about URC Mobile ### What does the URC Mobile app do?
