User Reviews: SceneFlow for HomeKit

Top reviews

  • Outdated

    This app has not been updated in 3 years and lacks the customization that’s needed for a true dashboard experience. I could not find a way to give access to other users in the Apple home ecosystem. Still hoping that a good solution comes to market soon.
  • Camera

    I cannot receive an email back from this company. I would like to know if there is a fix for the cameras that always stay on when the app is open? The problem is that notifications on the cameras shut off. I would like to give this company a 5 star review.
  • Initial excitement, then disappointed.

    Initially, I found that Scene Flow gave me the tools to create a layout that Home failed at. I then became severely disappointed after subscribing when I discovered scenes could not be turned off by tapping a scene you had turned on. Having to go to each device in a scene to turn them off is totally unacceptable.

    It also appears no updates have been made to this app in over a year. That's not encouraging either.
  • Looks like a great app, but….

    Been playing with this app for a couple of days and have gotten numerous freezes every time, making this app useless. If you can fixes these freezes, I would gladly pay to use your app, until then. NO
  • Dashboard is not working

    Dashboard is not working,but otherwise the app is amazing
  • Great App with one drawback…

    Amazing app, beautiful, customizable, minimal. The only issue I can see is lack of controls for video doorbells (ring in my case) in terms of audio and being able to use the mic. Fixed it would be an easy 5 stars.
  • Terrible

    Worse thing ever. Can’t figure any of it out and then they want you to pay for it. No thanks.
  • Almost perfect

    This app is almost perfect for a home controller/dashboard. It has security features to limit access and tons of customization. However there are a few bugs and issues that need to be worked out. A few I have encountered: + performance on my iPad mini 4 (iOS 15.x) is very poor. I know this is expected for old hardware, but it runs other home apps just fine and old iPads make for great in wall controllers + camera video doesn’t load for secondary homes + requires force restart to get cameras to load after making edits to settings
  • Terrible

    Terrible app. Not usable at all. Waste of many.
  • I like it a lot

    Despite a couple of wants im still rating it 5 stars because it's the best I've tried and I like it a lot. One thing I noticed: in list view the thermostat reports in Celsius but goes back to Fahrenheit on other views. It would also be nice to add sensors to the home screen. Worked around that by assigning my sensors to a separate "sensors" room since I can add the room. I love the customization - very nice job!

    Developer Response

    Thanks a lot for the review! Happy to hear you're liking the app. Both of the issues you describe sound like bugs - I'll get them fixed for the next release. If you have any other feedback, please send me an email hello@sceneflow.com
