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 receive 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 heating and turning on the camera when you leave. Forgotten to set the alarm? It will notice, and send you a Remind me alert.

Nest Secure alarm system

- Arm and disarm your home remotely from the app.

Moved into a house with an older Nest thermostat, got to say it's pretty terrible. Totally ignores the schedule unless I turn eco on and off. If I dare touch the dial to ask for heat it will stay at that setting indefinitely, all the app does is provide a slightly better interface to a bad experience and it asked me for a review while I was annoyed with it, so here we are. Now considering an offline solution because why not? There's no such thing as 'smart' heating.

Slow and clunky, no widgets, often quicker to get up and change the heating on the wall. Really do not rate this app. Vital to use the Nest, otherwise I wouldn't have installed it. Just updating after 2 plus years of using the app, the schedule is tricky to set even on a large phone. Does not look and feel like the rest of the Nest or Google brand. Come on! I paid good money for a Nest and have more of your set up at home, I expect a bit more by now. Reponse - yes using latest version - boo

Hey Liam, thanks for posting. You can give your router, phone and Nest device a reboot to refresh their connections. Make sure that your Nest app and your phone's software version are up-to-date. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling your Nest app and see if that helps. Reach out for more help: https://bit.ly/2K3ysuT

Google had some great ideas but another two years have passed and the unreliability remains . I have one word to describe the accuracy and reliability of "Presence Sensing" - "Flaky"! My settings are unchanged. Yes they are all set correctly. I double check them with every malfunction. Fast forward 2 more years and the problems are actually worse. I simply do not understand why Google will not fix this this. I think it's time to switch to a different brand smart thermostat!

Hello there. We understand the frustration with presence sensing. While this feature used your phone's location, that functionality is no longer supported. Your feedback is crucial as we constantly improve. Share your thoughts here: https://google.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2aStd8wsbcLGvwG
