DO Button by IFTTT App Reviews

105 add

Useful but limited

Useful for simple triggers but cant seem to handle even basic groupings like switching on/off a couple lights.

Very useful.

Ive been following the IFTTT platform for a while and find it to be a rather remarkable system. I use this to create cascades of activity. Creating a simple button press allows a series of pre-programmed events to happen. Ive used this in conjunction with my Apple Watch and have been thrilled with its ease of use. My only feedback is the access lag (effort to open your watch, search for the icon, select, load with latency). Depending on the task, it might feel so easier to manually do it. Im hopeful with the upgrade to watchOS, well see a reduction in latency and increased effectiveness of the app itself. Ultimately, the only limit to this app is your creativity and access to connected apps and IoT objects.

So handy

Using it daily now.

Needs Command Combinations.

The app sounded pretty good, and definitely has potential, but I was expecting the ability to execute a combination of commands with the push of one button. Say, turn off lights X Y & Z, turn on lights A B & C, and decrease temperature on thermostat. But since you can only execute one command at a time, I might as well just open the app for the lights, as its not saving me any time either way.

Alright when it works

Get more errors then results with the Do button app. So even if it does work I have to go and verify making it pointless to use. Faster to skip the the Do button and go straight to the intended app and do what I wanted.

Has some use-case issues

As you can see from some of the other reviews, this app is an interesting concept but it feels like they didnt do enough testing of use cases before releasing it. Every time you try to use it for something, you find that theres just one thing keeping you from doing what you want to do. For example, its great that you can use the widget to do a quick action, but they dont let you change the icon so all wemo actions look the same and you cant tell turn-on from turn-off.

Name labels in widget

Please have name labels stay on in widget. I have a few set up and I have to scroll between them to see which one is the one I want Or allow customization of the icons to reflect what the switch is ....

Triggers no longer work from Apple Watch

Triggering actions no longer work from Apple Watch. Using iPhone the app and widget work great, but for some reason it does not work on Apple Watch. Ive done the usual trouble shooting: restarted both devices, logged out if IFTTT, uninstalled and reinstalled the app on both devices. All to no avail. Ive even contacted IFTTT multiple times and methods, all with no reply. So much potential in the app, but it all seems to be an afterthought.

Saves me tons of hassle

This button is a little piece of genius. Its saved me tens of minutes and Ive only been using it for a week. I always forget to fill in my students attendance form, but now it only little takes the push of a button and the work is done. Id have paid for this if they charged for it.

便利!

I want to correspond to the google keep

Perfect feature, nice size button.

Awesome

Super cool

Need more than 3 buttons

DO it slowly

I am always wondering: how could you create so slow and laggy app, which has only one button? It was extremely slow on iPhone 4, and it is still slow on iPhone 6.

Very bad

App is very slow and unreliable. Often crashes, often encounters errors not being able to do its work. Poor implementation of 3d touch features. I would love to see a better version of this app and pay for it, but I doubt there will ever be one.

Useful addition to My Hue System!

Well dome!

Non male

Nice but... Unclear on watch

A nice app, but you need differentiating icons related to actions bound to a same device. Otherwise on Apple Watch you can find several identical "Philips Hue" buttons with different behaviors

No reason to be a separate app.

Users dont want two apps for the same service! Why cant developers figure this out?!

Great app!

Does what i need, when i need with great features.

Doesnt work dont bother.

Software like the IFTTT software doesnt work at all. I have a brand new IPhone with latest OS and new Hue system. Doesnt work for any recipes. Dont waste your time with this.
