Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app is hardly ever working with cellular connection. It takes forever for the camera to load, and it doesn't pick up people often. It's forever updating but never works.
Oshay007
The app is slow with showing the cameras and setting the alarm. The app loaded slowly causing me to hit the panic mode by mistake.
A Google user
The app is absolute garbage. It won't ever work and hasn't for months. Can't arm/disarm, can't lock/unlock doors. They reply to reviews saying this is the first they're hearing of it, but when you contact support, they say it's a known issue.
