So here's my honest take on Kangaroo: Simple Home Security. I've tested a bunch of home security apps and this one's pretty good for the basics. The setup is super easy and the app itself is pretty intuitive. I like that you can self-monitor for free or add the paid plans if you want more features. Not gonna lie, the theft/damage reimbursement is a pretty nice perk. But the app does have some issues - it can be slow to load sometimes and the notifications aren't always reliable. Overall though, it's a solid option if you want simple, affordable home security.

Description

Been using Kangaroo: Simple Home Security for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you monitor your home from your phone – you can arm, disarm, and get alerts all through the app. Pretty solid if you’re into home security stuff.

Here’s what you do: you just set up the Kangaroo device around your house and connect it to the app. And there’s also 24/7 professional monitoring you can pay for, which is pretty cool. And you can even get reimbursed for theft or damage, which is a nice bonus.

Look, if you’re looking to keep an eye on your home without a lot of fuss, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the app can be a little buggy sometimes – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.
