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 iPhone or iPad.
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 Negative Reviews
Hate itDespite disabling all the auto temperature settings, it keeps changing to whatever it wants. Now it came with ‘seasonal savings’ and there is no way to change it.MOSS77777Version: 5.60.0
Terrible AppConstant freezing
Have to pay a monthly to be able to use 99% of its features
Signs me out almost everyday.
Such a horrible user experience.NickroyboiVersion: 5.67.0
Unable to play live videoSometimes my camera notifies me of activity in my home it sees. But when I go to check what’s going on the camera fails to load. I have extremely fast internet and everything’s plugged in so I see no reason why I can’t load my home security device..Jon10ahVersion: 5.76.1
CostNone of the packaging or advertising says you have to PAY for the recorded video. It’s free for the first month but then they cut you off. Now I’m stuck with 4 camera’s that only take a snap shot and hold it for 4 hours. RIP OFF!!!!.Left seatVersion: 5.66.0
Very unreliableDespite addressing wifi extenders, app updates etc, this system quite often has my outdoor cameras “offline.”
Amy system is likely better than this..Dkh892Version: 5.76.1
Constant IssuesCamera stop working every time when someone rings the bell..Rozhyk_SashaVersion: 5.75.0
Ecobee is far betterProgramming the week on this app was created by a lunatic that hates people. There is absolutely no way whoever created the programming for the week was sober when they made this app. I could ask my 3-year old cousin to come up with a better solution.
It is so complicated. Ecobee is easier and fewer bugs..B_baller00Version: 5.72.0
Very very slowThis app has gotten so slow it’s basically unusable for more than a couple cameras. Very disappointing..Sent to the E.R. AnywayVersion: 5.68.0
Absolute garbageI use the app for my Nest camera and it’s absolute garbage. If I want to review footage from the previous night it’s nearly impossible. Endless loading time, boot up time, a serious lack of controls or scrubbing options. The camera works. The footage records. But you can’t view it!.Oliver9000Version: 5.68.0
Not impressedI just want it to be the temperature I want it to be. I don’t care about the energy. There are way too many energy features. Even when I think I have it turned off. It’s now 2am and it’s still hotter than I want in my house. The fact I’m up writing this review should tell you something..Do better nestVersion: 5.53.0
Google Destroyed NestSince Google bought Nest and forcing users to migrate to googles app. They’re ruining the app and desktop version by not updating and implementing new software for new phones or updates. Only the bare minimum.
Since googles ownership, my iPhone 15 battery got so hot while using Nest that it crashes. So bought the iPhone 17 and now not as bad but still heats up drastically only while using Nest app. This never happened as an early Nest user in 2010 but since Google merged, I’ve had nothing but weird issues and problems with sign in, etc.
I even tried adapting to the google cam system and it’s terrible. Play back slow, events aren’t easy to navigate, interface complicated, sound quality, on and on. NEST was amazing when smaller developers owned it. Sad something so simple in tech struggles nowadays..
Google, BRING BACK NEST by keeping it up to speed and fix bugs..Stethan.caVersion: 5.86.3
Not currentBeing remote in a different country, I find that it takes a while for it to activate my video. It is not consistent..LoniaCeciliaVersion: 5.86.3
NestI will never purchase a nest product again. They should not be able to stop supporting gen 1 and 2 products. If they sold them, they should support them!.Guenr1Version: 5.82.0
This ie garbage … don't buyThis product is garbage. Don’t buy it. It’s a complete waste of money with no real security. I found it incredibly difficult to use properly. Overall, Google products are disappointing.

Worst Google App, Since the Purchase by GooglePlease don’t confuse my two star rating with my feelings of how I used to rate it…. I actually really lit it and had high expectations when Google purchased Nest, only to be left brokenhearted.
It seems apparent that Google isn’t spending any resources on further development, or perhaps even upkeep. It feels as though Google would like to be rid of the Nest app, but has failed to improve their own software enough in order to do so.
This feeling was definitely apparent after our purchase of the battery camera Google sold as a “Nest” product, but seemingly never intended it to be connected to the app we purchased it because of..Jagil71Version: 5.76.1
Away settingHave tried multiple times to not have the app follow my phone. Goes into away mode constantly despite having dogs at home that require the heat or air that get shut off..Danielle1sawesomeVersion: 5.71.0
HorribleWorked for a a long time, but suddenly needs me to log in… no idea my Nest password and won’t send me password reset. My nest is a nice 100% manual wall thermostat now, lol.Zatoichi26Version: 5.70.0
BuggyShows me "away" when I'm home sometimes but only intermittently and regardless of my settings. Because of that I'm unable to use the feature that automatically sets Eco temps when I'm away. I've read complaints online about the same thing from other users. Developers are very slow to take care of this..CRK131Version: 5.70.0
BasicFor something owned by Google you would think that this app would be more intuitive..Kto220411Version: 5.68.0
Need to work on app .When checking notifications keep buffering on screen.Need to improve app . When checking notifications like person detection or motion detection video hard to play keep buffering. Sometimes hard to open or open very late..Bal771Version: 5.68.0
Doorbell sucks!Door bell sucks as it sometimes works and often, it will delayed by so long that you miss the person who rang it..RyanChicago1234Version: 5.68.0
Nest appVery disappointed since google took over😞.PussmanchestetVersion: 5.67.0
Don’t subscribe? Expect massive delaysIf I get a doorbell ring notification and click on my app it takes a solid 20 seconds to show you your front door even when connected to wifi and on a brand new phone. Oh and it doesn’t show you anything more than a thumbnail either..Hbou2327Version: 5.67.0
App sucks get a ring doorbell insteadThe app is awful in terms of the door bell footage. The front door footage never loads and gets false triggered all the time. The actual door bell itself doesn’t chime when u ring it even though chime is on in the settings. If you need a good reliable doorbell and a good reliable app I recommend ring 10 time out of 10.Wedro1Version: 5.67.0
No, I didn’t forget my passwordHorrible!
Every once in a while the app forces you to re-sign in. And then your password doesn’t work. And, no, I didn’t forget it because I have it written down. How is that possible?
Bad app..AzzskbvfijbVersion: 5.67.0
Terrible AppWork fine until I migrated with google app nothing works on any application. I redid the app and thermostat not working cannot control heat or air. Thanks google.Fish with a Tracker BoatVersion: 5.66.0
ScheduleAwful- can’t erase this so the unit has a mind of its own- not smart..Juss FlyVersion: 5.66.0
Keeps switching to AwayTurns the AC and Heat off randomly. Types the review in white color on white background..WeathetitVersion: 5.66.0
Useless thermostatVery dissatisfied with the proudest.Does not take nick nameVersion: 5.65.0
JunkWaste of money, since merger with google it changes temperature when it feels like or just turns your AC or heat off, constantly signing in wanting to share my data,.Francis65Version: 5.65.0
Google dataNot a fan of the forced google data conversion. I get it. But no choice given..Giz927772771Version: 5.65.0
After transition to Google - the app has become pathetic!!!!!!!I think there is no connect between the two apps - Nest kicks us to Google Home and Google Home sends us back to Nest - this just an unbelievable nightmare. If I find a third rate option, I would switch over without blinking an eyelid!!!!!! The interface between the two apps is just horrible!!!!!!.KNS - Frustrated UserVersion: 5.65.0
Save your moneyUseless app. Super slow data access even on a 3 Gbps fiber optics line. Don't buy nest cameras. There is no benefit. On rare occasions when you need it, it will fail to deliver results. Save your money or buy something more professional, not this gimmick..Mr. M BigVersion: 5.70.0
Eco leafEco auto on sucks it sucks.KsndjdnsnjdsVersion: 5.68.1
Too expensive and slow load timesFor the cost, should be a lot better.Stevie de123Version: 5.42.0
App experience is really poorThe thermostat is great. But the app experience annoys me every time I use it. Often has to try multiple times to connect. Setting a schedule is not intuitive..RobtigVersion: 5.87.0
