I bought 4 smart switches that are now useless. Also, the app used to identify the sensor in alarm, now only identifies the zone. When batteries on sensors get low they go into alarm mode frequently and now you can’t identify the sensor to replace the battery. ### 2/5 — No funciona el botón smart socket *2017-12-18, version 2.5* Antes con otras versiones funcionaba el botón de smart socket ahora si le das se cierra la aplicación, por favor arreglad esto ### 2/5 — Improved system with bugs remaining *2017-10-29, version 2.4* Notification works well, but it just states the zone number, neither the name nor the sensor. Also the smart home/plugs aren't working in the app, always shuts down the app! ### 1/5 — Update horrible don't use *2017-10-11, version 2.3* Worked great before update ### 3/5 — Can be better *2017-10-08, version 2.3* I like the previous version better where you can easily see which zones are armed and disarmed and you can easily arm/disarm each zone in one screen. I also like the swipe left/right to move between screens. Also In the alarm notification and alarm log pls show both zone and sensor number E.g. Zone1-sensor2 alarming or Living room zone door sensor. Can we also get notification and log of arming and disarming and the user code so I know who disarmed it. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Terrible since updated *2017-10-07, version 2.3* Why did you ruin this app? App shuts down when I go to smart home. Totally unusable. I would give it 0 stars but that’s not an option. Support site is in Chinese. How do I get support? PLEASE FIX THIS. ### 1/5 — Unable to login or register *2017-07-03, version 2.1* Unable to login or register since last update several weeks ago. Contacted the product manufacturer and the issue is not fixed yet. ### 1/5 — Broken *2017-06-30, version 2.1* App does not work. Alarm is always offline. Needs to be fixed to be useful. ### 3/5 — Still buggy *2017-06-21, version 2.0* Overall allows control, would be good if platform was stable. Alarm log 'event' now crashes on my app. Would be good to have schedule alarm allow 'home alarm'. Allow zone to alert with device in alarm. Allow a silent arm, as late night activation chips all horns and wakes whole house. ### 2/5 — Instable *2017-05-17, version 1.8* Hopefully there is an update soon. The app just starts properly every other time, logging in takes sometimes quite long and to notification though push usually doesn't work. Please improve those functionalities - elsewise good app. ### 2/5 — Good but instable *2017-05-16, version 1.8* Good functionality, however the app shuts down quite often during when start of the app and the alarm notification through push works only very randomly - if at all. Hopefully this will be fixed soon! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No funciona *2025-11-30, version 2.5* No funciona la aplicación. No envía notificaciones. Servidor muerto ### 1/5 — Notifications *2023-06-27* Why can t I receive any notification on my iphone when alarm rings? ### 1/5 — Can’t open app after update! *2022-11-25, version 2.5* Please update app so latest iOS works!!!!! ### 1/5 — No funciona *2021-06-21* No funciona la aplicación. ### 1/5 — Configure *2020-09-20* Not connect to wifi (Not configure) ### 1/5 — Simply a garbage product *2019-08-04, version 2.5* It makes a lot of background noise when recording. It is full of bugs. It’s motion detector is something random not truly motion detection. The latest update is worse than before. It shows it is online but there is no live image. I have to hit the reload button many times or move to other pages and it may start working. Just a piece of garbage that I regret I purchased from this company. ### 1/5 — Whole thing does not work *2019-08-03, version 2.5* The app doesn’t sync with the alarm, I’m no dummy to tech but this just does not work at all for me. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app, tried syncing it 25+ times. Sometimes it connects but nothing comes up on the app. Other times it doesn’t at all. This alarm system was a waste of money. Do not recommend. ### 1/5 — July 27 -2018 *2018-07-27, version 2.5* App is very slowww detecting LAN devices. Takes 20sec to detect a device on Lan. With no traffic Minimum 7m away fron wifi royter both ### 1/5 — Smart Home Button still does not work *2018-01-09* Since last 2 updates the “smart home button” does not work using iphone (any), please fix this bug. ### 1/5 — Please fix App for iOS 11 *2017-10-30, version 2.4* Does not work with iPhone iOS 11 Can not view Alarm settings. iPhone app shuts off when trying to select app button. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Is this app still around? *2023-12-04, version 2.5* My mom has an alarm where she uses this app and now when she changed phones the app isn’t available anymore??? Does it has a new name? ### 5/5 — Good App *2017-06-21, version 2.0* Great app and feel safe with the system. ### 4/5 — Faltam atualizações. *2018-07-09* O app tem um bom formato, fácil de manusear, porém, tem falhas frequentes quando usado em outras redes de internet, não a doméstica onde o alarme se encontra instalado. Acredito que atualizações mais frequentes possam sanar as falhas. Uso o app com o IOS11. Atualizem o app, por favor. ### 4/5 — Mixed bag *2017-11-21, version 2.4* When system works has worked well. Have had issues multiple times and not sure that I would waste my time setting it all up again, but for now working well. Would be nice if the zone alarm notification would also display the name of the room. Would also be nice if multiple phones could access the account but the system is bound to one device. ### 4/5 — Simple and it works *2017-10-03, version 2.2* For what it’s worth it works better than expected. ### 4/5 — Неплохо *2017-01-14* Работает все отлично, нашел управляющий модуль мгновенно. Забил 6 датчиков, переименовал их на русском. Но надо добавить уведомление по e-mail. Ну и add Russian как обычно. ### 3/5 — Please Update!!! *2025-04-04, version 2.5* Push Notifications are not working! ### 3/5 — Mensaje de Alarma *2024-05-06* Los mensajes de cuando aw acriva la alarma no llegan al telefono ### 3/5 — So...So... *2018-12-27* The smart power plug Outlet button does not work anymore and ways crashes the app. Please update this app! ### 3/5 — Sockets *2017-10-28, version 2.4* Cannot access sockets after latest update, when you try to access the program closes down --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
