What System ?

[MrHappy]

If there is no income for an app-

 

there is no reason to update it when the latest phone OS version comes out & the app stops working ?

Apps are all junk to some degree anyway...

Thanks sixwheeledbeast. 

 

I know I might be pushing it but I felt it was worth a try.

 

At the very least no subscription for the use of the app? Any ideas?

 

Cheers

If your house and contents are important enough to warrant a burglar alarm with self monitoring, and lets face it the most important part of any burglar alarm nowadays, would be the bit that calls  you when it activates. Why on earth are you looking the cheapest?

 

When you get something for nothing, it means somebody got nothing for something. When somebody is supplying something for nothing they are less motivated to do anything about it when it goes wrong. This is why all of the companies that were supplying a free app cloud kept having server failures, and have now started charging. 

 

If you dont want to pay subscription then just buy a GSM dialler, though you will still have to pay for the SIM monthly, but it will be more reliable than the free subscription apps

I would agree with this.  If you don't keep your phone up to date, or buy the latest model and the app isn't kept up to date, then the chances of issues are high.   If you have a look at a few apps reviews, you'll soon see posts of unhappy users where phones and OS versions no longer work.  

 

As a an app developer myself, I am often forced to update the app in order to keep provisioning on the stores. Some of these forced updates end up dropping support for older devices, leaving users with very old devices none too pleased.

I still don't find any of these apps or "smart" features - smart. Your just tied into manufactured obsolescence and compatibility woes as you say.

They may have their very limited applications for some jobs but it's just a daft requirement in the current age that people want all there electronic tat to have an app, if there is a point or not.

I like apps, however I know they all need support. 

I know its not what the OP wants we all want something good for free, but id like at things like availability (ie how much its up) before I looked at cost. I can give anyone an app for free, god knows how reliable it will be though.

All apps get poor reviews no matter who 

 

I quite like having my app does the job albeit cheap for myself

 

WiFi path 1 via app

GSM path 2 via app

SMS additional for alarms only 

 

But you got to pay kanga get the dust of that wallet and get those shekels out
