I've been using Flic for a short time and it's frustrating because of the inconsistent connection to my phone. (Samsung S6). I was hoping for direct compatibility with Wink Hubs, not a separate hub.

Not reliable. The flics keep putting themselves into a manually disconnected state (automatically) so I have to manually activate them again. Big delay switching stuff on and off due to them being Bluetooth which means something had to convert the signal to the smart standards of zigbee and zwave. Only 3 functions per button and who wants loads of little buttons stuck or scattered all over their house anyway? Buy one or two to help with automation in the car but go with voice recognition for the rest of your smart home

These buttons would be great if they worked but they randomly stop functioning every few days ,and tech support barely responds. Two weeks typically between responses and still no solution. I am stuck with 6 useless buttons. Stay away from flic.
Would be great if it worked with android 7. Randomly won't reconnect. When it works out works well. Tried unchecking optimization of app and anything to do with Bluetooth with no luck. Will Chuck it in the cupboard and try again in 6 months, yep I'm disappointed had high hopes,
This is such a great idea. I bought 2 flic's to play with, a location only and general function. I was disappointed the location only button doesn't make use of at least single and double click. But I have also found the UI of the app quite difficult. There is a ellipses button and a settings button on most screens, and I would really like to be able to see a history or log of when the button was pressed.
I bought flic mainly to be able to play my spotify playlist on my android. I was very disappointed to find out I didn't have that feature.
Actually all works well on my Fairphone 2 Android 5.1 lollipop, but Flic hammers my firewall on port 443 even if not actively running. Maybe keep an eye on flics responds time while making further software improvements.
Bought flic to be able to use google voice to activate phone calls while I am in my car, didn't work on my Samsung S6 because of the lock screen, now I have a Samsung S8 it still does not work, even with the lockscreen off it just gives a buzzer sound and an error "Flic - Google Voice Activation - unable to start speech recognition" .. I am very disappointed.
This company is great they fixed my issue within a day that's awesome.

Hi Dave, are you able to use your alarm now? If so you maybe want to change that one star ;) Works so far, had it a couple weeks. I take my phone in and out of range of it five times a day, and (knock on wood) it re-pairs itself instantly. Voice recognition in general still sucks (you know it) so I wanted a one-button solution to call my partner via the hands-free in the car. No scrolling, no selecting, just push the button to call him. This is it. Phone pairs to both the car and the flic seamlessly, so I don't have to think.
This really works I needed a panic alarm for my work and after much searching the options came down to the Flic or an old age pendant! The pendants are really expensive for out of the home but the Flic only uses text so no problem. Very pleased with it, affordable, reliable and discreet.
Great idea. Does what it says. However as an app developer trying to get some support from the Flic team I have been disappointed in their failure to get back to me. I reported a bug in the way that the app transmits rewind and fast forward messages but no response. Could do better.
Like the variety of things you can control with these buttons. Wish Bluetooth worked better, have to reconnect almost every time I come back to the flic.
Would be nice if an activity or function was based on the number of clicks(or double clicks) like this: one click (or double click) for this, two clicks (or 2 double clicks) for that, 3 clicks (or 3 double clicks) for this, four clicks (or 4 double clicks) for that, five clicks (or 5 double clicks) for this, etc...or am I just not using this thing correctly. Currently I can start \ stop track(single click), play next track(double click), and play previous track(long press). How do I interact with skype and perform Wake on Lan or turn on my lights as well as do the current play track, next track functions?

You can add several Flics by scanning in the Flic app. Does this not work for you? Please contact support@shortcutlabs.com A good try, but connection between the flics and an android device is quite unstable.
Overall I'm really impressed. Some issues with flic reliability when used with older devices.
Flic constantly forgets the phone its paired with. Have to completely disconnect and re add the flic and profile. Currently isnt functioning even after I have done that.
It should be great if you could be able to turn on screen and unlock it when use the voice search action
Flic button doesn't always connect to the phone, especially if been rebooted or device has been unused for some time.
Works flawlessly for me and has far too many options for what I can and can't do.
If I trigger actions on my phone it works almost instantaneously. However when I use my flic light my phone recognizes the action (plays a sound) but does nothing.... Really frustrating to use. Edit: the issue was related to my phone being on stamina mode.
I am just scratching the surface of what this can do. I got flic mostly for my lifx bulbs. Works great for that. It can see my scenes so i can program most anything. Great product!
Great little IoT kit - obviously it's worth knowing it needs Bluetooth on to work, and WiFi for any network/Internet stuff - would like to see a base station to resolve this very minor issue. Otherwise, well worth it.

We might have something in the pipeline :) If you are on the fence just do it! It works best in conjunction with a few other tools like secure settings, and tasker. The customer service is amazing.
Beware, they breach their own returns policy & haven't accepted my return of 5 mint condition Flic that don't work for my needs.
Great App and Product!! Best Button EVER! Im using it with my Lifx lights. Thanks for all your effords.

Happy you like it! Easy to use and powerful with a nice IFTTT integration. Easy to customize to use with your own iot devices
Great little gadget, but about 30℅ of the time needs to be resynchronization.
