Terrible app. Almost always offline. Now they want to charge for it. UPDATE to developers response. It is offline more than other WiFi device to the point I can't rely on it when not at home. I have to use the app for the system installed by the alarm co. They have looked into the problem and installed tp links but nothing changes. So I'm stuck with a poor system and app which I have to tolerate. Then I here you want to charge for it and the installer may increase their fees! Unbelievable.

Freecontrol - perhaps miss-named as you pay a monthly subscription.

I have this app on 2 the same phones and notifications don't work on one.the option to turn notifications on is the app is not available one 1 phone.very strange.have uninstalled and reinstalled still nothing...a real pain as I don't get notified when the alarm is triggered.so place could be empty before I find out.

im a brand new customer and my firat impressions are not very good. This is a very dated app and needs a complete refactor. Notifications are not working as expected either. It would be great to have push notifications so we can be notified of alarm status changes on our device. I would also like to see Alexa or Google Assistant support so can tell it to set the alarm and also control the alarn in Googoe Home. Im happy with my alarm system, but this app does not do it justice.

Don't buy a smart alarm. This app completely crashes sometimes and takes days to sort out. You are at the mercy of the servers and when they are down or updating you don't get any notifications and you are left potentially vulnerable to opportunistic thieves.. Which is not what I spent nearly a grand forI wanted a smart alarm ii can control anywhere this tech has been a complete waste of money and regret not staying with hard wired security system.
