Reviews of HSBuddy

  • Awesome app for use with homeseer

    This guy should be on homeseer’s payroll. Love his app very customizable. Love the history tracking of each device value. I would say it’s a must have
  • The perfect HomeSeer companion app

    I love this app! It fulfills every need that the native app does not provide. It even provides Siri support which is badly needed. I would not have switched to HomeSeer if I couldn’t use Siri. Honestly I don’t know why HomeSeer does not include all the features that this app provides. This app had a few small glitches that have now been resolved. It is a very polished and professional app.
  • Keeps Getting Better

    It seems every time I think about what would be a nice improvement to this app, the developer must be reading my mind. I really appreciate how it becomes more useful on a consistent basis.
