On July 21st, 2015. ADT rolled out the long awaited ADT Pulse App 7.0.0 for Apple and Android devices. The big improvement is the integration of voice control into the standard pulse app. No more selecting one app for manual control and another app for voice control. With 300 apps a day hitting the market, having 2 apps for your security system can seem like an indulgent burden for controlling your home security system. This app resolves that issue and so much more.
The first thing you'll notice is the sleek new design and layout of features. As you log in your cameras take center stage. You immediately have live video feed streaming, your arm or disarmed status in your upper right hand corner and recent activity listed just below. Depending on your screen orientation, your list of devices is on the left column or below recent activity. The new design is overall sleeker, more modern and provides an easily read layout.
Overall the new app has a pleasing design and navigation. You see more of what's going on with your system no matter what screen you are in, and the 'always-on' dashboard lets you be in any screen and still see the current system status. Voice control and manual control from the same app is also the cure for an obvious downfall of all previous versions. You'll want to download the update today and then delete the ADT Pulse Voice App forever. ADT Pulse 7.0.0 is available for Android and IOS systems.
