User Reviews

Reviews show Hive on iOS is easy to use at times and offers convenient remote control, but widespread issues overwhelm. The most common complaints are loss of US/NA support and regional restrictions, persistent connectivity problems, account/registration failures, and detrimental app updates that break scheduling and notifications. Customer support is often slow or unhelpful. A small subset praise occasional fixes and features like motion-triggered alerts when they work. Overall reliability and regional availability are the dominant negatives.

Pros

Easy-to-use interface for basic controls
Remote control of lights and thermostats is convenient
Some features are appreciated when they work (e.g., motion-triggered alerts)

Cons

No longer usable in the United States; North American support dropped and devices/accounts can be locked out
Frequent connectivity issues; hub/thermostat going offline and unreliable network
Registration/account/login issues and region restrictions (can't create accounts, password resets failing)
App updates frequently degrade usability (new schedules, missing push notifications, lockouts)
Customer support is slow or unhelpful with limited hours and channels

We updated our boiler (UK) and were told that for app access to our hot water and heating system, Hive was basically the only option. We have had issues with the hub since day one and we’ve found Hive’s team very difficult to work with. We haven’t wanted to subscribe to their premium service as it’s not something which we need, and as a result, Hive have refused to provide any support when their hardware malfunctions. Almost daily issues with the hub and thermostat going offline, so remote control of the system impossible. Have tried troubleshooting numerous times and even had the original installer come back to try to fix it- but the problem is with the Hive system and they’re apathetic to the matter. If we had to redo it, which is seeming to be more and more likely as the days go on, we would not allow a Hive system to be installed.
