Ratings and reviews

Over the years, I've had 2 SimpliSafe systems, set up at 2 different homes, with 2 sets of hardware, and at least 2 phones. It has been a few years now, and I have never, ever experienced 2 months of trouble-free operation. There is always some type of issue. Random software issues with cameras, or a device has to be reset, reconnected, or replaced.

We like the app well enough. It is easy to find most of what you need. One BIG improvement would be to show battery levels. One minute, your battery shows full. The next minute, you're getting an alert that it is low. I'd rather change them out earlier than needed to stop the alerts in the middle of the night and for the safety of having all my devices working throughout the night, when I'm away, etc.

The app constantly will not show up regardless of the network strength. The system is basically worthless since you cannot check your system while you're away and the app will not load. It will say system issues but your wifi is working fine. You cannot fix this unless you are within 3 feet away from the base unit. This isn't helpful while you aren't home. Probably canceling the service this week after this happening far too often. Used to be such a good system...
