The mobile app works fine; however, the physical touchscreens on Venstsr thermostats are terrible. I've had 4 of their most $$ models over the past 15 years. Every one has required a heavy push, (usually several attempts) in order for the touch screen to register any input. Calling them "touch screens" is a real stretch. I'm guessing the technology smart phones use is too cost-prohinitive for Venstar, so they have resorted to less effective (cheaper) technology on their touch screens.

When it works, it's great. But it recently stopped working on all my android devices except my phone. And it frequently gets cranky and refuses to pay attention and do what it's asked to do even in on my phone. Up until a few months ago this app and the associated thermostat worked fabulously for many years. I'm pretty sad about it.

New interface is good, but was hoping for more options (ie all the options seen in the web browser) Also after the update, manual fan control appears to be broken. Update 4/23/19 - manual fan control is still flaky with my T4x series stats...I can not rely on the fan status symbol animation, if I am unsure if the fan is running manually or not, I turn the system to off to ensure the fan is off. I have not found a clean way to manually running the fan from the app, it is not reliable.
