## SimpliSafe Home Security App Reviews in United States

### **--- "Will not update"
Someone is tapping my app! Now they have disabled my remote! It wil not work all of a sudden. I installed a new battery, and it still will not respond!
-- Injunction’s, 2025-01-02

### *---- "No Headphone Audio Playback"
If you’re wearing airpods / other bluetooth headphones, expecting to hear camera audio playback through them, you’re going to be disappointed. No matter what, camera audio will always play through your phone speaker and you’re always going to forget and its going to be a disruption wherever you are. It’s so stupid that it’s infuriating.
-- FreaknPrtoRican, 2025-01-02

### *---- "Not a good app or product."
Me and my family have had SimpliSafe for a while now and the app continues doesn’t let me look at my camera it always says there’s an error but it’s not my wifi because everything else in the house works and our sensory continually break and eat up batteries. Personally have been looking into a new security system.
-- starteupee, 2025-01-02

### **--- "Account access is terrible"
Listen, if this app is going to be effective, we need to be able to log into it. Our account holder is not one of the three primary users of the system, and we don’t share an email. The whole double authentication going only the account holder email with no way to change is very frustrating. The “back up access code” stopped working, despite that it’s never supposed to change… right? The number of times that I have been logged out for no good reason, or accidentally hit the gigantic “logout” button that appears when the app doesn’t detect an internet connection for a moment, accounts for dozens of unnecessary logins. 

It’s clear that the user interface is not used by those who develop it.

Please fix this so that the app can be functional to multiple users.  We’re stuck on this system, but I’m ready to just give up and pretend we don’t have a security system.
-- Robin_Whitehouse, 2024-12-31

### **--- "Not reliable"
The more they update the worse it gets. Constantly get sensor errors and then sensor restored. Cameras record a very short time. No it’s not my WIFI as I have very good WIFI. Now getting alerts that the camera battery is dead. Close the app and go back in and it shows 9% charged. Today it is showing 5 batteries dead. Time to junk this system. Very unreliable.
-- doesntworkgarbage, 2024-12-26

### *---- "Payment method"
My CC # changed requiring me to update my payment method. Logged in, clicked on update payment method, wanted me to open in App Store. Absolutely no path to get to “update payment” screen, ANYWHERE I TRIED. Your web site is broken.
-- PANAM47, 2024-12-25

### *---- "Overseas support is horrible"
Good luck talking to them in their over seas call center. They are clearly paying bottom dollar for their third party customer service team.
-- steevil, 2024-12-23

### ***** "Convenient and reliable."
Convenient and reliable.
-- Shanee5000, 2024-12-15

### ***-- "Good but needs more personalization"
The sensors, cameras, and security system all work great.  My only major pain point is the inability to choose notifications by camera or system. 

I constantly get notifications from my family who have indoor cameras.  I personally hate indoor cameras and dont want to know they even have them, but I cant turn off the motion detected notifications. 

I just want to be notified for my front and back door. Thats it. A system enhancement would be appreciated.
-- Pafols, 2024-12-13

### *---- "Useleee"
This system never works smoothly and properly, paid so much money for it, the app takes forever to lunch live view, half of the footage is not being recorded due to errors even if the cameras connection to my WiFi is excellent…this is the worst security system ever existed
-- steveheheh, 2024-12-12

### *---- "So many issues. Locks don’t lock or unlock with pinned"
This is still a bad system. Mainly the locks today. They never work. Drop offline or won’t open/lock with pin pad. Just bad.

Update 7/7/24 - still bad. Settings are in three different places. Locks are as unreliable as ever. Updates fail randomly. Cameras drop off and won’t reconnect. Need to change over to Ubiquiti fully.

Update 9/29/2024 - please combine all settings under a single menu. There are so many different places to change different settings. This should not be the case in 2024. You can leave all the settings in their place but have a main menu with everything. And I mean everything. Account, cameras, base station general. Every single setting.

Update: 12/11/25. Still bad. No fixes on anything. Must be a bad solution overall. I have been replacing cameras and such here and there and hopefully next year replace internal home sensors. Probably just go to ADT since they can do everything and stand behind their work.
-- Disorganized orginization, 2024-12-11

### *---- "Bad customer service, check your bills"
Recently I checked my bills and found out that Simplisafe charged my credit cards twice every month for 20 months , one charged with a credit card I didn’t authorize. After many calls with customer service they agreed pay me back for only 6 months over charged and give me 3 months of credits. I sent an email asking for the reason why they don’t give me the full amount they overcharged but never get a response. What I have to do , any suggestions???   I will update when they will respond my email and the outcome…….
-- A current customer, 2024-12-08

### *---- "App needs work"
I’ve been getting spammed all morning that there is wireless interference detected but does not show me how to resolve or give me an option to silence. Checking their forum this has been an issue for 3+ years.
-- somedone, 2024-12-08

### **--- "Buggy app"
Especially if you decided to unenroll from the subscriptions and go self monitoring.
-- Taretobeto_Marine_Captain, 2024-12-08

### ***-- "Love and hate"
We really like our Simplisafe system, even though we have issues with false alarms, videos being slow to load, and cameras not connecting. My biggest gripe right now, though, is that I can&#039;t see a way to search for a specific date and time of videos/other events in the timeline. The app should make any videos and other triggers filterable by any and all criteria - date, time, device, etc. As it is now, when a crime takes place (I&#039;m in DC, so this happens on a near weekly basis), I can only filter by date and then have to manually scroll back to the approximate time and click through lots of videos. Meanwhile, the page often resets to the top each time I click back from the video, meaning that I&#039;m trying my best to keep track of which videos I&#039;ve already viewed. Additionally, our neighbor&#039;s Blink camera has a much better quality image and seems to just record 24/7. When we need to see license plates to report to the police, it&#039;s her camera that sometimes catches it - ours never does. So again, we like it, BUT if you live in a high crime area like we do, there is considerable room for improvement.
-- Like-Hate, 2024-12-03

### *---- "Empty promises and ZERO customer service follow through."
The monitoring is good, the hardware is cheesy cheap not what I would consider commercial grade. Repeated empty promises and fails on the part of customer service.                          .                                               
      .

Two false alarms in less than a year, outdoor camera slow to wake up misses activity and has poorly designed solar panel mounting that only allows installation with tiny screws not likely to stay attached in a storm. 

 Bought alarm for second home, shipped to wrong address, sent back, ZERO followup, just ordered it 6 months ago. Not what one would expect from a company supposedly a long time time in this business.
-- Xvd68, 2024-11-30

### ****- "Notifications"
This app keeps showing new notification alerts on badges even when they have already been read.
-- tigüex, 2024-11-29

### *---- "Bait and Switch"
This is not about the app, but Simpisafe website.  I ordered a system and they had a promotion for a free extra camera. Which I signed up for they never sent the camera. I called Customer Servise and they refused to send me the second camera. Classic bait and switch.
-- MichaelTheHiker, 2024-11-28

### *---- "Price goes up, service goes down"
Endless price hikes and its continuously not able to connect to base station. Pay more, get less. Smh. Nothing like being away from home and cant connect to nothing. Tech support solution is to buy a new system. So planned obsolescence to twist arms to buy more. No thanks.
-- Mikey Henry, 2024-11-23

### **--- "I’ve had better"
Review for the app is very simple very basic. I wish there were more personalization of the app and my equipment.  I switch from ADT to simple safe bc of pricing. Which now simple safe charges me more then what I was originally paying. The camera quality is terrible and there is no personalization to the cameras . They just now have the base station say the names of the door alarms . Which is nice . I would like to be able to personalize my door bell chime. With ADT you could personalize it to the holidays or just other neat sounds. I can’t stand simple safes door bell chime. I not excited by switching anymore .
