I think the app and thermostat works great. I can adjust the AC or heat from anywhere; bed, on the way home early from work, on vacation, etc. it has worked flawlessly no matter what situation. It is more reliable than my WiFi. I don’t understand what you people are complaining about having to do an “extra step” to access your thermostat....it’s right there, all you have to do is bump the temp up or down. If you have to switch from AC to heat or to turn the fan on, is it really that big of a deal? It literally takes less than half a second to select your thermostat and go to the next menu. I like having all of the thermostats listed. I have a business that’s 25,000 sqft with 4 ACs....makes it a breeze to see them all on one screen and check the temps on the fly. Lets me know if there are any problems and if they are working correctly. Plus the option to “lock” the thermostats to prevent anyone tampering with them is a major win over the Honeywell thermostats.

I’ll start by saying I got my thermostat free from my local municipality. If the thermostat you’re replacing is an old ‘set it and forget it’ wall dial this will be a huge upgrade. I’m not going to get in-depth with its features other than to say you can control this thermostat with your smartphone anywhere on the planet as long as your thermostat has connectivity to your home wi-if. Now with that said, in regards to connectivity issues voiced in other reviews; yes, it will occasionally lose connection to your home wi-fi. I’m not a network expert. I can’t explain why. I can understand how this immediately throws people into a tizzy. It’s been my experience however that if you just let it be it reconnects itself automatically, usually in less than a couple of minutes. Your experience may vary, again I’m not a network expert. It doesn’t happen often enough though for me to warrant immediately panning it (‘one star!!! This things garbage’). I’d say 95% of the time it opens immediately on my phone. It’s a small gripe for me and the specificity you have in setting heating and cooling schedules outweigh it. Now for the big gripe. After you sign up for this app the your junk mailbox will increase by 40+ messages a day. No joke. Nothing is ‘free’ I guess. Be warned.

When I got my first this app about 1-1/2 yrs ago I was thrilled, especially with the app. Sadly, there's very little great in the tech world that psychopathic designers and programmers can't ruin. The app used to be simple and perfect--open it to a full screen view of your thermostat; and control changes stuck. Now, it first opens to a crippled small list view of "all" your thermostats--because most people have five or six right? </sarcasm> You can change temperature up or down on the dinky view, but have to press to then get the full screen version for things like on/off heat/cool or fan. I use the app a lot as a remote to change fan on/auto so now have to navigate every time to do this--so damned annoying. Also, it used to solidly accept control changes now those are super flaky and often don't stick. I just tried going up from 68 to 72 and had to try several times because it bounced back to 70 then down again to 71. Many times it doesn't stick and send to device after closing app and you have to go back. I used to praise this device to anyone any everyone. Now it is just another piece of annoying crap tech that barely works and is designed by psychotics with no clue.

Although getting a complete overhaul of our existing Heat/AC unit was a bit pricey, I can tell you that having chosen this app was one of the BEST DECISIONS my Husband & I have ever made. It's extremely user friendly & the updates you've recently been doing have only improved the performance & boosted my opinion. The geofencing addition is sooooo helpful in our daily lives where we're so busy it's one less thing to worry about when leaving the house. I thought being able to log in while away from your home was perfect, but now having it automatically update the temperature to your specifications is just brilliant. I'm NOT one to leave comments on the App Store (I think I've only ever done this 2x in all the years I've had my cell) but I wanted to give a big shout out to this company for outstanding customer service & a brilliant working system.
