Putting the phone numbers in on the app that the GSM unit phones when the
alarm is activated is a waste of time. There is a problem with the app.
Program the numbers in manually using SMS and then the GSM unit will call
the numbers and send an sms message when alarm is activated. If this was
sorted in the app then it would be fine.

Works well. Does whats required Using on my GS5. At first it kept freezing when i was setting it up but i noticed the reason was because the mobile numbers were incorrect. I.e. i needed to exclude the first 0 in the numbers as it is replaced by the areas code which is entered in earlier. After the correction it has been working fine.

Needs updating Not a well-thought out user interface. Yes, it works on my Galaxy S3. But it is ridiculous to have three TINY buttons next to each other (CALLBACK, PANIC & RESET) for such different functions! If you want to set off the PANIC mode, it will be useless if you inadvertently hit RESET instead! The RESET should not even be on the System Control screen - it belongs on the Setup screen, which should probably only be accessible via a separate Administrator password in any case... Then the remaining two buttons (PANIC & CALLBACK) should be resized and spaced out to use the big blank area of screen available.
★★☆☆☆
Avoid wasting your time Because the time it takes you to download and install this app, only to see it crash directly is more time than it takes you to program your security manually. I also downloaded this for an Apple device, where the software does work, but it's just not a handy piece of software. for one it is only meant to 'set up' the alarm system, and serves absolutely no purpose afterwards. It also wont show system status or anything other than the bare basics to get the system going. And truthfully, the system is fully functional out of the box and just doesn't need any app. It's just to be trendy. At any rate, the software is abondonware, it never went beyond version 1.0, and wasn't developed with modern android compatibility in mind. So unless your android device runs version 2.x, don't bother.
