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.

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.

The doorbell isn't responsive fast enough. For example, I get a doorbell ring, so I open the app and it tries to connect to the camera. It takes a whole to make a connection. I run fiber to my home so it's not my internet speeds. Usually, by the time it connects, the person is gone. The camera is clear and the sound is good when it is connected, however.

I only use this for the thermostat. It works more or less and I like the reporting, but the scheduling UI is terrible on mobile. i think it was designed for a browser. Its way too small and sensitive for the average mobile user. Initially 3 stars, but it has been this way for YEARS, so dropping to 2. Not interested in any other nest products if they can't get the simple ones right.

I like the lock option. It helps control the temperature settings when others want to change it to their choice of heat or ac. Update: ever since the app update my thermostat goes off line, changes to home away or changes my settings. Numerous trouble shooting including uninstall/install the app and/or the wifi etc ....the app does not function like it had before. Disappointing
