Latest update causes it to crash immediately. Completely unusable. Reinstalled several times. Crashes just after log in and accepting agreement. Crazy. It was flawless for years. Never realized how much I depended on it! I read the re-release comments and keep hoping for a fix each week. I'd be completely satisfied with a rollback.

Was great... for a while. The app worked great until a couple of weeks ago when something was changed with an update. Now, it resets my garage door opener every time it's used. Not ideal. On top of that, the app no longer works on my wife's Pixel2, continuously crashing. Attempts at getting some help have gone unanswered, so I'm stuck with an app that upsets my wife and the opener itself. Bummer, but that's the way these things go, I guess.

Update: Like the march 2024 update, the recent August update killed notifications. Left here to notify of bug. Original: User since 2019. Did not want to spend extra on home link and did not want to pay subscription fees. The kit was easy to install and the open on arrival is very nice! I did turn off auto close since I like to watch the door close before I take off. I would love to have a lockdown mode, especially during vacations.
