Ratings and Reviews
Not impressed
It looks pretty but that’s about it. Try and scroll up or down the screen and the heating settings change. I’m forever cancelling the override. I thought geolocation would be a good idea but cannot invite a user, the app just locks up and needs to be forced closed. Temperature overshoots a lot. I thought the idea was it would learn and lower the boiler temperature to keep the room comfortable. Seemed to be doing this the first day. Not it’s just on full or off. Tried to find a way to report the problem or get help. You can only access FAQs and not proved feedback or get support.
Good app but…
On the whole this app is very good. Being able to control the heating at home from anywhere is brilliant. There have been many times in past when we’ve all left the house for the day and unnecessarily left the heating on. Not anymore. It does occasionally kick me out of the app and I have to sign in again. I can’t work out if this is completely random or after a long period of not opening up the app.
I would like the time to be featured on the home page of the app. I know I have the time on my phone, but I want to know that the app/stat/boiler has the correct time too. It’s currently Easter Sunday morning and I have no idea if the stat time has gone forward an hour. I assume it has, but that’s all it is, an assumption. Without physically being at the stat to check, I have no idea. The whole idea of the app is so that you don’t have to physically be at the stat.
Please add the time to the next update.
Old app was better
The new app hasn’t simplified the operation at all. For example on the old app it launched into the temperature page which is what most people will want to use. Now it goes to a dashboard. When you change modes (Off, Auto, On) the older app had nice big clear buttons, now the page looks like a survey you have to read through and make you selection. Not happy with the new design at all. Remember, people generally just want to get in and out, and it should be as easy as using the thermostat device. Also, I would have expected a brand new update to have a widget for the home screen. Very disappointing and no way back to the old version.
