Meh

I can’t see anything different from the apple home app. I can’t access any other smart devices that aren’t apple compatible and there doesn’t seem to be anything this app can do that is drastically different from the apple app. Not sure if I’m missing something here 🤷🏻‍♂️

2022-11-27

Mostly useless!

I bought this app yesterday Ver 6.0 and I’m extremely disappointed.

Here are few point why:

Automations: I still don’t get how they are originally sorted. In addition having automation with 3 words in small tiles makes the whole automations view completely useless. Not to mention that because Apple doesn’t allow other apps to see automations parts that use “convert to shortcut”, this app is completely useless for automations that were made in Apple Home app.

Also the app uses an inconsistent layout. Some tiles act like HomeKit in iOS 15 (in rooms views) while others like iOS 16 in Automations and Scenes.

For me this app is useless and I would happily get a refund.

I think that rushing and releasing an app that have inconsistent views shows a very low Quality Control and the wish to make money without considering the users needs.

I would give Zero stars but unfortunately the lowest mark Apple allows is only one star!

Was awesome but update is a fail.

Is a good app for setting automations however the one thing that made it worth the price tag was the favourites widget that had all favs together in one widget.

The new update has changed to individual accessories and when you toggle the state it very slowly opens the home+ app to toggle one thing.

Has totally ruined the best feature of the app IMO and now makes it not worth the money being asked.

Just get the eve app, they are basically the same now.

App is pointless on iOS 16

For a premium app like this, it’s disappointing it hasn’t been updated in over 4 months (in which time a whole new iOS has been released). I’ve noticed even basic things like filing automations into folders has now broken a bunch of my automations. The only way to fix seems to be rebuilding them from scratch (they’re not complicated, but just a lot of them). Now I’ve paid for a premium app that was supposed to help keep things organised and easy, instead it’s done the complete opposite! Very disappointing. How do I get my money back and restore all my broken automations!?

Awesome app but unusable once you have many accessories and automations

This app would be awesome but it becomes totally unusable (even on latest iOS and brand new iPad) once you have dozens of accessories and automations. It literally comes to a grinding halt as it seemingly cannot work with long lists of items.

Im guessing it’s just a coding issue as other apps can handle it no problems. Happy to work with the developer to fix this.

Okay app

Doesn’t work with AppleTV or HomePod. Wish I knew before buying

There is a delay of ~1-2sec to bring up device status. (Ie compared to Home app).

Makes it slightly easier to organise things if you have lots of devices. Would assess if you really need it over and above what Home App rather than just pretty icon/ colours.

2021-04-10

Nice App But

It’s a nice app I like how you can achieve so much more than the standard home app.

However I can’t link my TV into this app. It works just fine in the native home app but home+ won’t pick it up.

Also a little annoyed I can’t find any help of contact the developer with this issue.

Potentially powerful, hard to use

This app provides useful automation tools, and has visual polish, but the baffling decision to lay out each individual button from any dimmer switch (or other switch) renders the app almost impossible to use. If you have a switch for most rooms, and a bunch of lights, the app presents an undifferentiated mass of icons - and the text display for each is so short you can’t tell what any button does. It’s completely bonkers, there is no way to turn it off, and the developer hasn’t responded when I wrote to ask about it.

Consider using this for programming some specific automations maybe, but forget it if you want to use it to actually control your lights. A real shame.

Dumbed down update (v5)

I want my money back. I use this mainly for iOS/iPadOS home screen tiles but this v5 was made for toddlers

2020-10-13

Amazing

This closes the missing features that the Home app is missing that matters to me. I’m sure over time this can only get better.

Maybe Apple can take notice here and see how it should really be done.

Thanks.

Very disappointing

Powerful app but the design makes it unusable when you have many HomeKit devices. Doesn’t respect groups of devices created in the Apple Home app, so you just get long lists of accessories.

Neat, but hard to read

Neat app, but for my thermometer it shows three pieces of information - battery percentage, humidity and temperature - in such a small font (and grey) that it’s almost illegible.

Improve the reporting for those without 20/20 eyesight and it will receive five stars.

2019-02-26

Fantastic app

Home is a fantastic HomeKit control app that allows me to do nearly anything I could want with my HomeKit devices.

BEST HOME AUTOMATION!

I have Phillips Hue Bulbs and an August Smart Lock and they both have HomeKit. This app allows me to do cool things like say "Hey Siri I'm home" and then all of a sudden the door unlocks for me and the lights turn on to whatever brightness and colour I want!!! Flipping cool! And this app is far superior to the built in Apple Home app with ios10. Do yourself a favour if you've just spent a good $1000 on a smart home surely $20 for this awesome app to make it look great is so worth it!!

2016-06-26

So easy to use

I really didn't wish to spend $20 on an app. But as soon as I said "hey siri turn the lights on" it paid for itself.

Awesome
