Only gripe is that when sending a signal it isn't snappy. I still gave 5 stars. It's probably a limitation that has always had their attention and will probably keep improving. The customer service is good. Below is my previous review which was followed by a software update and a response from developer. Previous review: "I'd rate the app a lot better if it didn't recently stop working unless I log out and log in again. Not something I am willing to do as a step to get into my house"

Terrible!! I am occasionally able to arm remotely but then cannot turn it off. The app doesn't respond. UPDATE: I reached out via email and whilst it took a bit of time, Olarm got back to me informing me of some changes that had been made to our system. It has worked for the last 2 weeks. I also discovered that if I tried to access the alarm remotely, it is best to use internet from a service provider, in this case Vodacom, not the wifi where you are staying.
