Good, but connection issues

This version of Touch works as well for me as the 2.xx versions with one exception: when the app connects via Bonjour something happens to the png files. It can’t find some and others are the wrong sizes. The web page version displays normally. I resolved this by manually entering the database file via https. Is Touch finding a previous version of the database via Bonjour? I looked on both my iPad and the Mac mini server without finding one. I tossed all previous versions of Indigo and their app support files. I also tossed all affected png files from the device folder and reentered.

Disappointed

With the upgrade to the latest version, voice controls do not work with the companion app, Indigo Touch. Supposidly there's a workaround but I haven't been able to get that working. In my opinion, that should be built in to the app and not require other solutions.

Very powerful, the best.

I have been using Indigo for more than 10 years to control every system in my house, including lighting, alarm, HVAC, AV, irrigation, security, etc. It is very well-designed, incredibly powerful and completely reliable. It is by far the best home automation system control I’ve ever used, including the old corporate standbys of Crestron and Control4. Indigo is far more flexible and intuitive to program. The devs are continually growing and updating Indigo’s capabilities and there is a formidable community of users who also contribute greatly to the system by way of professionally functional plugin-ins that address many broad and niche uses for a wide variety of devices, the most I’ve ever seen. All the major control systems are compatible and fully integrated into Indigo. Can’t recommend highly enough.

i’ve been using it for years and love it

my whole home is automated using indigo and indigo touch. The applications have enough depth to do just about anything you would want but I still easy to get started with.

Good, almost great

Excellent program, like the interface and the great support. There are usually quick fixes and updates, although there are some issues that take time like the fix to get it working with iTunes 11. Overall this is a great program and I choose this over the smarthome java application for the isy99.

Almost perfect!

This app hasn’t been updated for many years. Not sure it’s still supported.

Good, but needs Shortcuts support

All the app needs to earn ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ is support for Shortcuts.

Response from developer

We will be releasing a 64 bit version of the app shortly.

Good, but needs an update

This is a really well-written app that works smoothly and reliably. I just wish they’d give it a small update because its UI doesn’t fill the screen on modern iPhones.

In dire need of updating

I used to use this app all the time starting 10 years ago when there wasn’t much competition in the Home Automation space for iOS. Unfortunately, the developers have more or less abandoned this app and have not updated it since before the iPhone X. So it looks old and doesn’t even fill the screen properly.

It’s a real bummer, because as I said, it was once very useful, but as it is right now, it’s hopelessly out of date. I hope the developers read this review and realize that the clock is ticking. They are going to be out of business soon if they don’t get their act together, because other offerings in the automation space are simply far superior.

Completely neglected

Look at the version history. This app was updated 5 years ago. Meanwhile Indigo began a subscription model years ago. So now you’re locked into paying yearly for Indigo and this app which literally still doesn’t fill any iPhone screen larger than an 8. Indigo is a small operation which does what it does well and the developers are smart, helpful and responsive. But I really think it’s shameful how little attention this app has gotten. They say they users would rather they focus on voice control through Alexa/Siri etc but, even all these years later, the interface for smart assistants is both tricky and rudimentary. And in the meantime this app is woefully outdated. It works but there are no widgets, no Siri or Shortcuts hooks, nothing worthy of a modern home automation system. It’s a total drag.
