## Review summary

Users broadly report MyQ Garage & Access Control is unreliable on iOS, with frequent outages, slow loads, and intermittent connectivity. Updates often break core functionality, sometimes locking users out or preventing doors from opening/closing. Several reviews mention being locked out of their homes due to app failures, highlighting safety concerns. Ads and review prompts further degrade the experience, while missing features (e.g., HomeKit support, dark mode) and weak support add to frustration. Overall sentiment is negative and reliability is the dominant complaint.

### Pros

- Hardware components (garage door opener and sensors) are praised as solid when the app is functioning.
- When the app is functioning, users report reliable control of the door (i.e., when it works, it works).
- Some users report long-term reliability when not affected by software issues.

### Cons

- Unreliable connectivity and performance: intermittent connections, slow loading, and frequent crashes requiring force quits and reinstall attempts.
- Updates frequently break core functionality, causing doors not to open/close or to cycle, sometimes leaving users locked out.
- Security risk and inconvenience from being locked out or doors opening unexpectedly due to connectivity issues.
- Ads, prompts to rate and forced updates degrade usability (pushy review prompts and intrusive ads).
- Missing features and compatibility issues (no HomeKit support, lack of dark mode, hard-to-find UI elements) and limited integration.
