User Reviews

Roost Smart Home app users praise the concept and device hardware when functioning well and appreciate the responsive technical support. However, the app suffers from frequent crashes, difficult setup, and login issues. Many users report unreliable notifications and false alerts. There is frustration over limited features and integration capabilities, as well as reduced regional support and unclear firmware update strategy.

Pros

Effective hardware when working properly, such as long-lasting garage sensor battery and reliable detection abilities
Good concept and useful integration for monitoring water leaks, smoke, CO, and garage door status
Responsive and helpful technical support, including live phone assistance when needed

Cons

Frequent app crashes and poor user interface causing login problems and inability to sign in after phone resets
Setup and device pairing processes are cumbersome, unreliable, and sometimes impossible to complete
False alerts and unreliable notifications, with many users receiving no alerts or incorrect alerts randomly
Lack of important features such as integration with popular smart home platforms (Google Home, Alexa, IFTTT) and customizable alert options
Product support issues including discontinued support for certain regions and lack of firmware updates

My phone provider (TextNow) does not accept SMS verification code and since I change my phone I am not able to login to the Roost App anymore. It tries to verify my account by sending a SMS to a phone number that do not accept SMS and there is no other verification method (email) available. This is very frustrating.

Got two water leak detectors from my insurance company. One works fine and the other was almost impossible to set up initially. It malfunctioned the first time it detected water and kept beeping and wouldn't reset. I had to pull the batteries. When I tried to put the batteries back in it I had to give up trying to connect it back to wifi. The set up process is just garbage. The "contact support“ button on the settings page goes to a website that doesn't connect to support, it just says "oops."
