Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app UI no longer displays schedules that have been set. The UI focuses more on ads and upselling vs product functions, which is distracting. Previously configured settings were changed during a recent update, indicating poor product and release quality.

The garage door opener works well, but without a subscription, you cannot review the latest video recordings. The app is slow to open, and by the time you get the notification and get the live feed going, the door is usually already closed.

The app constantly says the gate is opening for minutes after it’s closed, and notifications are delayed. This is related to your app, not my network. The latest update is the buggiest in 3 years.
