Avoid Control4 App - Full of Bugs and Costly to Maintain
I've had the Control4 app for a couple years now, and it has been nothing but a headache. The app is incredibly buggy, constantly crashing, and riddled with issues that make it nearly impossible to use consistently. Every time something goes wrong, which is often, we have to call the company, Sounds Idea, to come and fix it. Not only is this incredibly inconvenient, but we also have to pay each time they come out.
This has turned into an ongoing and expensive nightmare. The constant need for service visits, combined with the app's poor performance, has made this a complete waste of money. I regret choosing Control4 and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and cost-effective smart home solution. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere.
Black screen when opening the app
The app seems to freeze and won’t connect, forquit or rebooting the iPhone does nothing, happening after recent updates.
**PLEASE FIX**!!!
Horrible / not user friendly system
Worst system I have seen .not user friendly. Everything you need to contact control 4 tech to come in, very expensive , they spend a lot of time. When I moved the system needed configuration because now new internet, I could not do it my self , so control 4 tech told me this will need 3-4 days of work and it will cost $2500/ day to come in . I end up calling another guy reasonable. Paid $500 he spent five hours only, fixed it.

Since this update I can no longer connect to my Control4 system.
Great job
Control 4
We installed Control4 when we built our house six years ago. Unfortunately, constant trouble since installation. Techs are at my house monthly sometimes weekly. I would avoid this product.
Great in theory only…
Capabilities of this app are great, the problem is it can sell them perform the tasks and when it does it takes forever to do so. With any automation it should happen almost instantaneously. I’ve used this product for several years and been through many updates and it is always just another version of bad…
I would give this app zero stars if I could
I made the mistake of buying a house 5 years ago with Control4 and I tell everyone I know to avoid it. It’s a dreadfully awful system for quite a few reasons.
The app is buggy and slow and rarely updated. Changing and setting lighting scenes is overly convoluted and difficult even if you know what to do because sometimes it doesn’t even save. There is no option to automate any of these scenes either like in Homekit how you can set sunset/sunrise as a trigger. You cannot use the controls in the app including lighting or alarm outside of your house unless you pay a $13 a month fee forever. This reason is the most egregious in my opinion because I have a $20 HomeKit enabled outlet that lets me use it no matter where I am in the world AND schedule automations whereas this $30,000+ system does not. There’s also no way to link Control4 to HomeKit unless you use a Raspberry Pi with Homebridge and then buy a $200 controller which may or may not work because I have read mixed reviews from both and all the hardware is from a third-party.
I do not know you, my Internet friend reading this, but I can at least try to save you from the absolute nightmare that is Control4. Please do not subject yourself to this system. I would rather have just built smart switches from Luton and save myself tens of thousand dollars and using this god-awful system.
While my smart home situation is lost, yours may yet be redeemed. Please DO NOT get Control4!
Do not buy this app or the membership.
The app doesn’t work. I’ve had complaints to my building to the point where now they’re resetting the equipment almost weekly and it’s not solving problems. And the membership you need to make this work remotely hasn’t worked at all (and you have to buy an annual membership for more than $100). All of it is a wast of money.
Horrible
This new app update is a total piece of garbage. It constantly crashes, lags, and just fails to work. I have had Control 4 for decades and this app is horrific!
Unable to Connect
I can’t connect to my system since the app update. Test your code, boneheads!
