I don’t understand how the MyQ app has such a high rating in the App Store. 4.8, 1.5M reviews. It’s so bare bones, no shortcut support, (obviously) no HomeKit, no widget, literally nothing to make the use easier or more convenient.

To make things even worse, first position above you devices is an ad (for their other devices) and it periodically suggests that I connect it to Amazon so some random people delivering packages have the power to enter my home.

Genuine question, how?????




There is a button that reliably opens and closes my garage door and it also gives me an accurate door state. So it is a 4 or a 5 for basic users like myself


I see your point and I don’t disagree with you on that. It was reliable for me as well.

My ultimate wish is to have only one of these apps (ie. the Home app) so I can control all devices.


It only has 3.9 on Google's store, but maybe that version is even worse?


Fake reviews.


That’s my suspicion with Philips Hue’s 4.6 rating on the iOS App Store. They’ve got to have gamed the system somehow - it’s not a good app, and their “you need an account now…for reasons” change is unpopular
