About this app

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 Android phone or tablet.

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 Secure alarm system

You can't run the fan when set to Off mode?! Unbelievable. Just because I don't want heat or cool, doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to blow air around. Even cheap old thermostats can do that. Also needs permanent hold option, mainly because if I turn it to Off, the fan will no longer kick on, as mentioned. Also would like more versatility to how often the fan runs rather than the same amount of time every hour. Edit: the links provided are not helpful and confirm what I said above.

I only use this for the thermostat. It works more or less and I like the reporting, but the scheduling UI is terrible on mobile. i think it was designed for a browser. Its way too small and sensitive for the average mobile user. Initially 3 stars, but it has been this way for YEARS, so dropping to 2. Not interested in any other nest products if they can't get the simple ones right.

I've had the 2nd Gen version for over 8 years. it saved me a lot of money. especially since I have forced air heating and central air conditioning. the 4 modes really help a lot. (Off, Heat, Cool, Heat/Cool.) Heat/Cool mode is great for transitioning weather seasons. . the only minor negative is: the "Sensor Schedule" option. this should be able to be adjusted freely for the 4 Times of Operations. they are currently Fixed and Non‐adjustable. . 5 stars. 5 Thumbs Up 👍 👍👍👍👍 04/21/2026.
