Say no to any of these and you will not be able to get to step 4. 2/ If you leave the app for a short period, say to get the access code, join the devices WiFi or respond to a text message, when you come back the app will be back at the beginning at whatever you were trying to do is lost. 3/ The instructions are mildly incorrect and in places inaccurate. For instance it says to hold the button for 5 or 10 seconds, depending on the mode when in fact it’s 7.5 and 15 seconds. This problem is made worse by confusing language: if you do the short press the light flashes rapidly and continuously; the long press it flashes twice and then pauses before repeating. This second mode is what you want and is described as “..after the indicator light fast and slow flashing”. In the first shorter press the access point does not appear; and in the second case, if you did not say yes to all four permissions, then you can join the access point but the app just sits there and does nothing. That’s of course presuming you came back in time and you’re not back in the home page or login screen. 4/ The signup process is painful. If you select a login field the only way to see the rest of the page (and the link to register a new account) is to press somewhere else on the page. When you do signup, it makes you validate your email address before you can register a password. And of course that email takes a short while to arrive and when you come back your progress is lost. It’s then confusing if you need to request a second code or if you can use the first (you can use the first). Finally none of the fields work with a password manager like 1Password. So if you switch out to generate a decent password you’ll likely find yourself back at square one once more. This whole app is so poor I boxed up my unit and returned it. I’ll find another way to open my gate. **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about your experience. We're always looking for ways to improve our products and services — we'll take this as feedback. At the same time, our new device has already used Bluetooth network configuration, optimizing many steps.Thank you very much! ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-04-16* Very malfunction. I tried to register, he sent me the access code and it didn't work. I've been trying to get another code for 1 hour and it doesn't send it. **Developer response:** Dear user, we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

I tried turning the motor on and off, I also tried restarting my internet modem; nothing worked. Then I uninstalled the app and downloaded again, and now it won’t even let me log in, keeps buffering… it has to be an app issue or bug. Very disappointing and inconvenient for the price of the gate motor. ### 2/5 — There some security issues needed to fix *2025-08-07* The basic function works fine that allows me to open and close the gate remotely. However, the bigger issue is that the gate sometimes will be triggered at night by itself and the schedule function doesn’t work well. It always has 1 or 2 hr difference **Developer response:** Dear user, we deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused to you. You can solve the time difference problem by setting the time zone in the app (My -->TimeZone), or by sending an email to Xhouse@x-house.net Contact us and let us know your issue. We will verify and solve your problem as soon as possible, and look forward to your reply. ### 3/5 — Update app pls *2026-01-31* You need to update the app. Ever since upgrading to latest IOS , the WiFi opener keeps on disappearing!!! Update pls!!! ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-08-07* Customer support is very responsive. **Developer response:** Dear user, we deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused to you. Please send us an email notification Xhouse@x-house.net Regarding your issue, or feedback on the Xhouse IOT app ->my ->Feedback. We will verify and resolve your difficulties as soon as possible, and look forward to your reply. ### 3/5 — OK, but needs improvement *2024-09-08* Would be nice if when clicking the gate icon to either open or close it showed the progress rather than just seeing a static image. **Developer response:** Thank you for your suggestion. The device can be equipped with an external door magnetic sensor. If you connect it, you can accurately view the real status. thank you! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
