Easily one of my favorite, most used, most feature rich apps

The Homeassistant team is great! Amazing open source development, great community and a best-in-class iPhone app (with Apple Watch support!). Some additional documentation on features and how to setup certain things through the app (such as watch shortcuts) would be great but this is a common open source community issue and is remedied by searching the forums

Fantastic App!

I love homeassistant and have been slowly transforming my house into a smart-home using it. Every device in the house is connected and running the app and there is just no going back. HA is a life changer and I honestly canโ€™t say enough good things about it. The apple watch integration is wonderful too, i walk around controlling my house with just my watch.

My wife hated all of the apps and remotes we had to use before, now Iโ€™ve set her up with a dashboard and iโ€™ve even caught her bragging about it to her girlfriend. It takes some learning but it is absolutely worth it! the results are amazing.

Home assistant is great, app needs work

Love home assistant, the app itself is just the same view as the web app, but with more broken. Latest issue is editing anything; all select menus are broken. You canโ€™t scroll through your entities. Sad, it used to work.

App keeps opening itself

The app opens itself every half an hour or so. I have no idea why or how to stop it but its really annoying.

Garbage

The website is infinitely better

Good App

Works well, sends me notifications even when iโ€™m not connected!

Home Assistant is awesome. The app isn't

I love the Home Assistant software. Being able to bring together different smart home products and create automations aroud them is great. That said, the app UI on a phone is hot garbage. Trying to switch between different tabs on the dashboard is awful and sometimes buttons appear in areas of the screen that you can't actually reach. I wish it was as easy to navigate on a phone as it is on a desktop but it's just nowhere even close

Best smart home platform ever!!

What more can I say but if your not using Home Assistant you should be.

Thank you to all the developers out there who bring us this amazing software.

Great platform, bad app

Home Assistant the platform is wonderful. Extremely powerful and the learning curve is generally reasonable.

Home Assistant the app is kinda junk. Basic functionality is there, but attempting to do any configuration or set up automations in the app is an exercise in frustration. Marvel at how the screen jumps around as you try to type in text fields, or tapping on pick list results does nothing. Oh well.

Bugs. So many bugs.

Not sure what happened to the iOS app but the bugs with cards are making it hard to use. Gauges are especially broken. This has been a problem for a while. Iโ€™ve tried resetting the app as well as reinstalling. Thereโ€™s at least enough functionality to keep it useful, such as managing presence and notifications.
