User Reviews: SceneFlow for HomeKit

Top reviews

  • Awesome, but lacks polish

    This is a really great replacement for HomeKit on your home screen. The custom home is great, though I wish the grid system was a bit more smooth - the ability to collapse empty space would be great. The scene and room tabs are super useful and the customizations are good. I do wish you could tap the details (or just the icon) for a floor and turn off all lights on that level, instead of getting a popover menu of that levels items. Easy enough to replicate with a scene but then I’m leaving the hope tab. Really, this is probably the best in the App Store at the moment, but again, a few tweaks and it would be the best period.
  • Maybe one day

    I really want to like this app, but it’s just not there yet. It’s all just a bit slow ans sluggish for me. The camera feeds say they load but they won’t, they’re just an old static photo that won’t actually update.

    The developer has some good ideas but the execution just isn’t it for me.
  • Great App

    So far this is awesome app. I use it more than the home app!

  • What I was looking for.

    Impatiently waiting for an iPad version for my always-on wall iPad.
  • Broken?

    Cameras are broken in this version I just tried. May 4th 2021 with the latest iOS updates 14.5.1. Have multiple HomeKit certified cameras from Logitech as well as a dozen homebridged hikvision 4K IP cameras. None of them work. Local. Remote. Vpn. Nada. Home app works fine. And other third party HomeKit apps that show cameras work fine.

    Sorry your cameras aren't working properly. HomeKit and RTSP cameras are tested with every release, so please contact me at hello@sceneflow.com and I'll get your issue resolved.
  • Best in its class

    This is the best home kit controller app it has the best customization, with the capability to add non HomeKit accessories right on to is dash bored like it’s from HomeKit. I use it for my security Cams using RTSP supper easy to set up and very well integrated, but for non home kit cams because they don’t connect with HomeKit and HomeKits home hubs you should have a good network connection for best experience. Other than that it perfect.

    Thank you, I'm happy to hear you're liking the app!
  • Excellent

    Looks like Apple designed this! The layout is very good and makes a lot more sense for my setup than the stock home app. Sometimes the app gets a bit of lag when there are many devices on my iPhone 12 mini, but it’s worth it for me.

    Thanks so much for the review! You're right, performance can be improved in a few places. I'm working on it as part of the iPad release.
