User Reviews

Users like the app for easy customization and multi-door management with scheduling, but repeated updates have caused Bluetooth-only requirements, breaking non-Bluetooth/older doors. The app is prone to instability, connectivity issues, and lost settings, making multi-door setup inconsistent. Customer support is frequently criticized, and privacy concerns about sign-in/location data are raised. Overall hardware can work well, but the app experience becomes fragile after updates.
Pros
  • Easy to customize and manage when the app is working.
  • Supports multiple doors and lets you name and adjust them separately.
  • Offers scheduling options like automatic closing at sunset or a set time.
  • Older-model programming support was reintroduced, helping users of non-Bluetooth models.
Cons
  • Updates force Bluetooth and render non-Bluetooth/older doors unusable.
  • App becomes unreliable: doors not detected, settings not saved, or syncing failures after updates.
  • Difficulty managing multiple doors or viewing current settings after updates (need for a workaround).
  • Customer support is often unresponsive or unhelpful.
  • Privacy concerns: app requires sign-in and location data.

This app is absolutely terrible. Do you live on a farm because you have chickens? Probably. Do you have great cell coverage? Probably not. Does this app time out looking for an internet connection? Of course. Can you use the app when this happens? Of course not. What are your options? Find cell coverage to open the app. Does it need internet to control the door? No. Why do you need cell signal to use the Bluetooth option? Great question. Very very very disappointed. Fix your app. Fix it. Just stop forming a reply and spend that energy fixing your app.

There are several features I like in the new app update, but since updating, the automatic door operation has become unreliable. I’ve had to reset the opening schedule numerous times, changing it from sunrise to a specific time, yet the door does not open consistently. There have been multiple occasions were the door remained closed well past the scheduled open time. An example, this morning the app showed the door was set to open at 5:00am but at 6:15am the door was still closed and I had to manually open it. I’ve also noticed the settings sometimes changes on its own and reverts back to light sensor mode. I hope this issue is resolved soon because it creates a concern for my chickens and now requires constant monitoring. Aside from this, I’ve had no other issues with the app.
