JG Aura for Android
As previous review - 5/2 doesn't allow weekend scheduling. Also, would like to see a function to advance all zones to the next program i.e. vacating the property whilst heating is running it would be nice to globally advance to off or, advance to on if returning early. This can be done, but you have to do it on each zone individually - unless I've just not worked out how to do it! There are options for global control of other functions. Address these two issues and it would get 5 stars from me.
Sign up confirmation email never sends. Have tried somewhere between 40-50 times and with different email addresses. App interface is also really unintuitive, and even though it is somewhat resemblant of that of the physical thermostat, it does not fit in well with other android apps that have been designed with regard to the actual material guidelines. It's 2017 and issues like this shouldn't exist in an app that (albeit not easy to program) is developed by a company that understands and deals with technologically complex hardware and software. Quite frankly, disappointing. Very disappointing. Edit: still can't use the app because sign up confirmation just doesn't send. :/
The app is easy to use, offering good functionality for controlling your heating. My two biggest gripes are: 1) You have to go to tech support and speak to someone to reset your password, 2) you can't change the time on the app so when the clocks change all the thermostats have to be changed individually.
So far so good. Easy to set up and use. Does what it says on the tin.
Just got updated, and well done for making it so that the app crashes anytime I try to open it. It's all I wanted really

Version 1.7.8 does not allow control of 5 day 2 day schedule. Weekends are uncontrollable from app. Been faulty since update in August. Now October and still not fixed. Support is appalling. App needs to be fixed urgently. Problem is with ask is who have developed software for of aura. Very disappointed. Was fine until they "fixed bugs". Now has more bugs that are not been fixed
