Ratings and reviews

A hidden gem. Like everyone else, I bought my Alexa devices 10 years ago thinking I’d be able to do everything, and we know how that went. Along comes AI with amazing features we’re all familiar with in chat, but now we’re stepping into agenic mode. With workflow like n8n (Zapier with muscle), this app lets me customize my button, send a webhook to my n8n connection, then do just about anything. Love it!

The Flic app is the official app for Flics (or Flic buttons). They work pretty much exactly as described if you read all the material on their website before you buy them. They're a little iffy on iOS, and work considerably better on Android. One of the issues people have is the app disconnecting. If you leave your house, you need to let your phone reconnect to your Wi-Fi before the buttons work. On iOS, the app needs to be open all the time. We solved this problem by using a cheap Android table

It works pretty well, but there's a lot of delay between the button press and the action (in my case, mostly lights). Playing music with Spotify doesn't work, it just opens the app. I'd also love to see Lyft support in addition to Uber. UPDATE: This app uses way too much battery! It brought my battery life from 13 hours average to 4, draining while at home, on wifi, and not using the phone. This is ridiculous! This app also has a constant notification that cannot be closed say it's running.
