About this app

At Google Nest, we make products that are beautiful, helpful and easy to use. The Nest app is no exception.

Control your Nest thermostat, arm and disarm your Nest Secure alarm system, see your home with Nest Cam, and get an alert if Nest Protect goes off – all in one place. And receive notifications on your Android phone or tablet.

Nest uses sensors, algorithms, and the location of your phone to do the right thing automatically, turning off the heat and turning on the camera when you leave. Forget to set the alarm? It will notice, and send you a Remind Me alert.

Nest Learning Thermostat and Nest Thermostat E

Thermostats that program themselves to help you save energy.

- Change the temperature from the subway or the sofa using your phone.

Nest Secure alarm system

- Arm and disarm your home remotely from the app.
- Receive a Remind Me alert if you leave home and forget to set the alarm.
- Receive a security alert on your phone telling you what triggered the alarm – a door or window opening, or someone entering a room.

- See the status of your batteries, sensors, and Wi-Fi connection.

- Check in 24/7 with crisp 1080p HD video (Nest Cam and Dropcam Pro only).

Owned for years and not a single improvement has ever been made. Same glitchy app it's been since day one. This company doesn't care. Bad UI, frequently disconnects from the internet, ridiculously poorly designed scheduling. "Learning thermostat" can't even follow a schedule properly. And now for LITERALLY no reason at all it keeps putting itself into eco mode and not heating my home unless I manually put it back to heating. If it wasn't so expensive I would've thrown it out years ago.

Scrolling through the timeline does not work well for me. When I get somewhere, it freezes up, and the video does not continue to play. The forward 15 / back 15 buttons don't do anything. It may start responding again if you task switch in and out again. Furthermore, just getting to the correct spot on the timeline is difficult. Once you lift your finger, it jumps from the time you're looking for. I've been very careful to be sure I'm lifting my finger directly off, and not swiping as I lift.

The app itself is very limited. If you have multiple sensors, you can't really create a schedule to track the temperature changes based on a time. The app has fixed time slots where you move the sensors around, and those time slots, quite honestly, don't make any sense. Additionally, the app is "addicted" to save energy and tends to put itself in Eco mode. The location tracking also doesn't work because if I am at home with my cell phone Nest should never be in Eco mode, but it goes there.
