User Reviews

Overall sentiment is negative, driven by reliability and usability issues. Repeated problems include app downtime and inability to connect or sync with thermostats, difficulties with scheduling and automation, a confusing UI, and concerns about customer support and security. A minority notes occasional long-term reliability, but that is not the common experience. The core takeaways are frequent connectivity failures, tough scheduling, poor UX, limited support, and privacy concerns.

Pros

Cons

Frequent app downtime and disconnects: the app stops opening or fails to sync with the thermostat across multiple iOS versions.
Scheduling/automation is hard to use: difficulty creating or editing schedules and heavy reliance on scenes.
Unintuitive, clunky user interface: navigation and editing are not user-friendly.
Poor customer support: tickets are slow or go unanswered and issues may not be resolved.
Security/privacy concerns: reports of unauthorized control of thermostats and general sense of not being secure.

I’ve had this thermostat for four years. stopped working on iPhone with the new iOS in December when connected thru Wi-Fi. The company did get back to me and it works right now if you turn off Wi-Fi on your iPhone and they said they are software developers are working with Apple on a fix.

I have had this app for 5 years. It was clunky and unintuitive, but it worked. In December 2025 the app quit working on my iPhone. I have been unable to access my account both through the app and on the company website (building36.com).
