User Reviews

Reviews consistently show that updates break core functionality. The top pain points are crashes and continual sign-out/login failures, forced updates, and loss of essential controls (thermostat, door locks, hub). Real-time notifications and alerts often stop working or fail to clear, and the UI has become less usable (small touch targets, per-degree update delays). When it does work, the app is simple, but reliability is the main issue.
Pros
  • When the app is functioning properly, it’s simple and straightforward to use.
  • It has historically provided real-time doorbell/entry notifications and a clear event history.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and being signed out after updates; login issues and forced updates that prevent access.
  • Loss of essential features after updates (thermostat control, door locks, home hub).
  • Real-time notifications/alerts stop working or don’t clear; notification badge issues.
  • UI/UX degradation—small buttons and slower, per-degree command updates.

It’s been over a week now and I still can’t see who is at my front door. After switching internet providers, the doorbell camera shows “Connection Failed” (which is expected), but the Progress Smart Home app force closes every single time I try to update the Wi-Fi settings to my new 2.4 GHz network. This happens consistently on my iPhone, my daughter’s phone, and my iPad, even with completely fresh installs on the other devices. I’ve contacted Rently support (who confirmed it sounds like an app bug), opened multiple tickets with Progress Residential, and I’m still waiting for escalation to the development team. I pay the monthly Smart Home fee for this service, yet the core video function is completely unusable. Please escalate this to your developers and fix the crashing issue so I can actually use the doorbell camera I’m paying for. Screenshots available upon request.

It was just fine before it was changed to have everything in one place. Everything was fine and it should’ve been left alone. All the extra should have been added to the resident app not the smart home. I hate this. Now I can barely control the thermostat. The app barely wants to respond. No one asked for this unnecessary change. Also, having to get a code for the resident app now instead of entering the password was a huge pain as well. Who is making these changes? They’re not good.
