User Reviews

Users praise Viking Monitor for simple installation, remote gate control, and clear status indicators, plus a solid hardware pairing (Monitor) and generally strong cloud backend when it functions. Yet repeated issues across reviews center on unreliable notifications, frequent app crashes, and the need to reinstall. Many report compatibility problems after iOS updates and a lack of timely updates. Feature requests include advanced automation (scenes), broader smart‑home integrations, and the ability to keep a gate open or remotely close it if left open.

Pros

Remote gate control (open/close) and real-time status from anywhere
Easy installation/setup and a good user experience when the app works
Solid cloud backend with notifications and status monitoring when functioning
Strong hardware integration via the Monitor attachment and value when configured correctly

Cons

Unreliable or delayed notifications and notification failures
Frequent crashes/instability requiring uninstall/reinstall and poor reliability
Lack of advanced features and limited smart home integrations (no scenes, no HomeKit/Alexa/Google Assistant)
Compatibility issues with iOS updates and infrequent or no app updates
Inability to keep a gate open or manage stay-open/remote close behavior

Recent reviews

Installation was easy, but needed Viking Support to help with orientation of the connector. Once installed, it worked great. You can open and close the gate remotely and see the Opened/Closed/Opening/Closing status wherever you are. I was not able to get notifications working, either pops on my phone or email. I would like smart home integration with Alexa / Google home. This would support both control (e.g. “Open the gate”) and announcements (e.g. “The gate is [opening, closing, blocked, etc.]”.

This app is terrible. The notifications just pick and choose when to work and every so often you have to delete and reinstall the app just to make it connect and work. Love standing out in the snow and seeing the spinning wheel of death as you’re trying to open your gate. Do better Viking, we pay enough for your product.

With todays automation and integration advancements , this feels like we are back in 2005 .. at a minimum it needs programmable settings / scenes . I chose Viking brand because of the motor quality based on installer feedback . However, LiftMaster/Chamberlain MyQ app is much more functional and has a TON more accessories
