The widgets take dozens of taps to run... Yes, that seems to have fixed it.

After boosting, I've experienced TRV's reverting to manual instead of their previous state, off.

The app has started loading very slow

Richard Woodhead

Since yesterday (25th April) when trying to view video clips, I keep getting the message- Recording not yet uploaded Retry This has been happening on both my indoor and outdoor cameras at all times, so it's a Software problem that needs fixing ASAP.

This app keeps crashing, after uninstalling and reinstalled its got worse, having to force stop and open again to use, however hive is great when working properly ********Update ************ since writing this review i have had nothing but trouble, the system keeps losing the signal and the thermostat and plugs keep disappearing and the reapear on there own, im so fed up with it i have decided to have the system taken out and replaced with a different one.

Eric

When it works it's good. But really slow and have needed to reinstall a couple of times to get the app to refresh.

Terrible app constantly saying offline but when i check all devices they indicate with a solid green light and having to use the thermostat to control the heating. Very temperamental app and don't feel in control of my heating at this present time. If this wasn't wired to my boiler i would have sent it back.

Gordon Paterson

Terrible user experience. Will not let me schedule short bursts (2 hours) of heating. It is impossible to a normal human to try and save money and energy. Clearly designed by shell.

Stops working and cant/wont let you view

Micky Halsey

Just brilliant and easy to control
