Ratings and reviews

Highly unreliable connectivity with periods of no connection at all. Not up to standard for its intended use.

The app works really well and the recent updates has been useful. My only concern is that when there is a notification from the app there is no sound/ringtone. When there is an alarm there is just the vibration and no sound. I've tried to test the notification sounds on multiple devices (Android) with no success. I've been through the option but to no avail. Please can the developer look into that, unless I've missed something. Thanks

App is flaky and very slow to load. Oftentimes bypassed zones would go back to being unbypassed once the alarm is armed. The subscription is quite expensive, especially considering how basic the system's functionality really is. Ours is permanently connected to out home's wireless network, so the cellular connectivity doesn't ever get used. It would have been nice to have had stuff like scheduled zone bypassing, arming or disarming. I appreciate the convenience that the solution offers though.
