- [R2] Aladdin Connect Very useful features, and easy to use!: Very easy to check door open/close status, verify who last opened or closed the door, how long the door has been open or closed, etc. - from anywhere in the world as long as your home wifi connection is good. Also very easy to open or close a door remotely and get confirmation that the requested action was completed. Very intuitive and useful app!
- [R5] Aladdin Connect Remote access +: We have all left and can’t remember if we closed the garage, the app will let you know how long ago it was closed and let you close it if indeed you forgot. Simple to connect to the app and set up to your WiFi.
- [R26] Aladdin Connect Overall Great Needs Few Features: Overall does everything it advertises super well. Wish it has more functionality on the Apple side, especially HomeKit support. However, the Siri integration is great, especially leveraging the Shortcuts app. I’ve been able to add buttons to my Home Screen to make the door go up and down. However, it really needs the ability to ask Siri if the door is open or clos
- [R68] I am How good it is: This app helps me calm down even when I am going through hard times and even though bad times I love this app so much it has changed my life
- [R1] Aladdin Connect The Worst App Ever: Trying to connect my garage door to this app is an excruciatingly painful process. After I switched to a new WiFi 7 router, I was unable to ever sync the door to my new network. Thanks for a low quality product.
- [R4] Aladdin Connect Connection issues: App issue connecting
- [R11] Aladdin Connect Mostly good.: The app usually works well 99% of the time and allows remote control of my garage door from my cell phone anywhere I go. Occasionally it will disconnect of go down, and it usually seems like it is when I away and need it to work. It’s bit of a cumbersome process to reboot.
- [R62] I am The help I am gave me: I am is not just a nap. It is a lifesaver and a helper. I just started using I am and it makes me feel calmer and more, loving on myself I have realize that I am enough and I don’t need to give people more than they or me and my mom are building a stronger relationship and that I can avoid people such as friends or family that make my mental health worse or my self-confidenc
- [R10] Aladdin Connect No longer Connect: It was working for about a year or so and now will no longer connect.
- [R40] Aladdin Connect Unreliable, Constant Crashing: App consistently crash or garage doesn’t work
- [R49] Aladdin Connect Customer support is the worst.: I’ve only had one representative who was willing to take the time to walk me through programming my garage door. I would never purchase this product ever again. Support is the worst. The product does not work. I hate everything about it. While trying to program my remote, I called Customer Service and the rep hung up on me. She did not believe the information that I
- [R91] I am Affirmations App Malfunction: app keeps malfunctioning and not updating my affirmations. they only show the ones i already loved, no new affirmations and the widget does not work. it keeps asking me to ‘tap to activate widget’ every single day. this app was so much better a few years ago. please fix or i’ll have to delete it and find another affirmations app. thanks!
- [R70] I am Horrible: I sighed up for a free trial that said it would alert me when it was time to be charged it didn’t and it charged me 75$
- [R78] I am Wonderful but costly: I love the affirmations it provides. It does help with improving a positive thinking mindset, but it is way too costly for individuals who are low income.
- [R82] I am Paywall: Was great when there were at least a couple of readable options not smashed behind an extremely expensive paywall. Now you have to pay $60/yr just to change the wallpaper to something more accessible. Very disappointing. I might have been willing to support the devs financially by opting for a premium subscription once I’m in a place to if I had at least something to work with with the fr
- [R85] I am Cancelled Subscription and still charged: Honestly to start this app isn’t that great and is extremely repetitive for wanting $35.99 for a subscription. I cancelled and it still is trying to charge me and now I can’t download any other apps until they get some form of payment, which honestly I don’t want to give them. Extremely annoying that nothing can be done at all to stop this pending charge.
- [R58] Aladdin Connect Please don’t get this: My parents and grandparents “upgraded” to this. It’s the most glitchy annoying thing on the face of this planet. You have to unlock your phone and go to an app just to open your garage, sometime the app freezes and glitches and the only option is to close out of it and try again. It doesn’t sound like much until you have to use it over and over again.
- [R117] I am Trying to cancel before being charged: Sneaky app says it will notify you befor charging Not so
- [R77] I am THE BEST APP EVER: This app is helping with my anxiety, my depression with not loving myself and I love this app so much
- [R110] I am Best app download ever!: I love this app! I’ve been a loyal fan for years Ive lost count of how long it’s been. This app became a staple to my everyday day routine b/c the quotes and affirmations pick me up everyday. I genuinely recommend this app to anyone I know. It’s not your typical app but you definitely will not regret getting it.
