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.

Update Sept 2022: Thank You for adding Humidity and making other settings accessible now in app that were prev. only at stat. *********** Needs more setting capability, like what is available at wall box. For instance, changing humidity set point, setting fan behavior, etc. If more of those features are added, then I give it 5 stars. There is no other product on the market that provides humidity control and wi-fi capability, along with reliable control capabilities and other bonus features.

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.
