The app is generally okay, but it's like they stopped working on it just short of making its more compelling features usable. e.g. smart away cannot be enabled on a per comfort setting basis, since we have multiple sensors and some are in rooms with more activity, we cannot enable smart away or the sleep comfort setting behaves badly. e.g. custom comfort settings can only be scheduled (not accessible in quick changes) which does not work for our babies finicky sleep schedule. Useless.

the app is barely usable. It's not intuitive and the schedule doesn't consistently apply. The geolocation feature only works if I open the app every time I leave and return. I really miss the simplicity and reliability of my old Sensi thermostat and app. This costs more and I can't just set it and forget it like I used to. Update- a year later and I feel I find this app more frustrating that helpful, if anything it's worse.

I have literally never reviewed an app before and I'm reviewing this one because of how annoying it is. 1. I bought the product. why am I constantly seeing ads on an app to control my thermostat? 2. the ecobee Ux is infuriating. it takes digging through menus to find whay tou want. Good luck setting or changing a schedule 3. it's slow and laggy. why? its really not doing that much work.
