  • Please update the Apple TV app

    I liked that I can view my HomeKit camera, but I can’t view it full screen without the weather and other things in the way.
  • Purchased for Apple TV

    I wanted an app for cameras so this one looked really clean. Navigation on Apple TV is horrible. Settings do not sync. Just feels outdated
  • Convenient

    This app is pretty awesome and convenient keeping all of my home automation products in one place, but the iPad version isn't showing my favorites in the Notification Center, it's working fine on the iPhone though. Also, any possibility of a Mac version and/or Apple TV version in the future?
  • Absolutely horrible interface

    If you choose to ignore all Apple UX rules, at least you should come with something better. Well, this app doesn't. The interface is so bad to the point of being unusable, from layout (unintuitive is an understatement) to controls (too small, too sensitive)... I don't even know where to start to give constructive feedback. I want my money back!

  • A bit confusing

    Just bought the app and I'm still experimenting but I agree with other reviewers, the interface is a bit cumbersome and needs some rethinking. Also location and sunset/sunrise triggers are sorely needed. Hopefully they will be in the next update. Location triggers should also be multi-user aware!
  • Pretty good and pretty fun

    Pretty good app. UI is very well thought out, wish switching rooms was a swipe of the room not the tiny area below it and wish the response for resetting PW was less wonky but overall will be my "go to” home kit app. Keep the improvements coming!
  • Not there yet.

    Most of the functionality is there, but the layout and navigation on a phone is horrible. Swiping right to left on part of the screen changes zones unless you are on the bottom, then it changes rooms?

    The main screen is used for editing rooms (photos or names only), to actually use any of the functionality you have to swipe to the left (on the top of the screen) then choose the zone. After that you have to choose the room from another slider (which is in the middle of the screen this time) and then you can see the accessories.

    There are no easy to press buttons anywhere to turn on lights or scenes.

    Entering the triggers menu crashes the app.

    It needs a major redesign in terms of navigation before it is worth spending the money.

  • Functional and fun.

    I like the custom set up features, and don't mind the additional fee after purchase. It's less expensive than comparables.
  • Finally, a palatable price

    I’ve been watching this app and its complaints of in-app purchases. When they finally removed the IAP requirement to be fully functional, I purchased it. Overall, it’s a nicely designed app and I like the fact that you can personalize the rooms with your own images. One thing I was surprised about is the lack of TRIGGER conditions. You can only build a trigger on date/time and frequency. No Location-based triggers and No Sunset/Sunrise triggers. A competing app has those trigger conditions (at almost 3x the price) but I would have figured that those would be included.

    I’m still playing with the app and building my home, and will update review if i find any other positive or negative aspects of the app.

  • Costly and Messy

    The UI is a busy mess and after buying this app it stopped working and wanted more money to control my devices.
