Ratings and Reviews
Disastrous
Previous versions of this app just about worked, though sometimes it would take three or four goes to deactivate the alarm because the app would not connect to the system. The latest update (mid-June2021) broke it completely; it does not even fire up (this on two different and recent models IPhone XS and XR). I would say don’t ever use it, except none of us get a choice, we are captive users.
Unacceptable app
As other reviewers have mentioned this app is a total joke — constantly crashing or being otherwise unstable. We have complained to Banham multiple times but they don’t seem to care — our impression is that they rely on their reputation to attract customers and since changing to another home security company is not trivial (one needs to reinstall all the sensors etc. to switch to another company) they don’t bother to provide a robust app.
It works )eventually) and that’s a good thing.
In many ways this app is very like the company. A rubbish front with a good product behind.
Connections keep cutting out and are slow to establish. Arming and disarming the alarm takes the sort of time that would be fine in pre-3G days.
You have to put in a PIN which is a bit behind the times when you have touch and Face ID. Also when doing so it is easy to switch the function to save the app password which results in digging up the paperwork to put it in again.
Still, Banham thinks that it is good so that’s ok. And it works which is the main thing.
