ElkDroid Security & Automation

Go elsewhere for your Elk needs on Android Buying ElkDroid was a mistake. Had there been other options available at the time, I would have bought one, but sadly there were not. Ever since I installed it, I have gotten an error "Elkdroid has experienced an error" every single time I launch the app. This error doesn't keep it from functioning, so it is liveable. If you use the 'keep connected' option, expect your battery life to be cut in half immediately. I contacted the developer for help with these and was told that he was working on these issues in the next patch. That was in December. Emails since then have gone un-answered, he has disappeared from cocoontech, and even the moderator of the cocoontech site has been unable to contact him. The last straw for me was this morning. I launched ElkDroid as I normally would, connected to my Elk, and was informed of the following: "This app is not compatible with your device". I've been running it on my Droid3 for months. ElkDroid may have been, at one time, a viable option for Elk on the Android. Unfortunately for all of us who spent their hard earned money on it, that time has passed. Now that there are other options with active development, I beg you please take a look at them.

disappointed I usually do not provide negative feedback. But there are a few things that you should be aware of. The app is actually OK, but the issue is that it has some bugs and the developer seems to have vanished. There is a forum on cocoontech . In their forums you can see other buyers who have the same issue. In over one year the developer has not updated/fixed even the basic bugs. There is also some very simple functionality that would be a minimum (i.e: access probe temperatures) and it is not available. I tried e-mailing the developer and he responded once saying that he is working on a beta version. But I can see that same message in the forums over a year ago. The developers website is still not working, and the developers mentioned in the forums that he was working with his network provider to get it fixed. That was over a year ago. I paid $100 for this program and I feel I have been cheated and I will continue to feel this way until the developer actually brings a decent update as he had promised (see forums) over a year ago. My honest opinion: this program should be removed or be made free until it is fixed. I sincerely hope it will get fixed.

Can't upgrade phone without losing it Upgraded to new phone and now won't download from the market even though it was previously purchased. No way to get it back. Didn't have this problem with any other apps.

Great app. No complaints.

Not only is this app top notch - the developer's commitment to technical support is unmatched. Extremely happy with purchase.

Love the new update. The interface and new icons are awesome. Thermostat screen works great. Keep it up.

Works ok..would like capability to arm thru program. And if more than 1 elk system is added it mixes unused devices between both accounts

Works great. A little expensive but worth the piece of mind.

Great app. Great support. Worth the $.

The notifications on armed and zone status are great.
