Although not expensive, I feel that I have thrown my money away as this does not work as described. If using an iPad, look elsewhere. ### 2/5 — Room for improvement *2021-10-21* While I like the base idea the realisation is not perfect yet. Controls are somewhat unresponsive and behave oddly. Hope my money supports the improvement! The search for a well made dashboard homekit app continues… ### 2/5 — Potential to be the best *2021-09-28, version 3.1* This app has the potential to be one of the best homekit apps if it got attention and regular updates. As it stands now, there are numerous bugs related to layout/rendering - especially when hiding devices. Since tvOS 15, fuse no longer can find Apple TV’s on the same network. I can’t recommend paying for it until the developer actually gives this app some more regular updates or at the very least open sources the code so others can take it on. ### 4/5 — Love the app needs HomeKit TV tiles *2021-03-11, version 3.1* This app works perfect as an always on iPad. It or needs HomeKit TVs. ### 4/5 — One of the better options *2021-01-30, version 3.1* I do like the app overall as it does well with my mix of smart things-mostly songs and Hue products, but recently (maybe post update??) all of my “cards” are stacked in one vertical column. They used to be 3 columns across which I thought was both more practical (don’t need to scroll down) and more aesthetically pleasing. Please let me know if this is possible to fix. ### 4/5 — I love the app! *2020-07-05, version 2.6* I see that the last time the app was updated was about 1y ago. Hopefully the developer is still taking requests. I love the app, but would love to be able to merge more than 2 cards. For example, my family room has an Apple TV card, Sonos card and lights card, but I can only merge two. Also, it would be great if we could lock cards to their position. Seems like when the app crashes or is closed from multitasking window, the app forgets the position the cards were set to and the cards that were set to hide, reappear ### 4/5 — Door and window sensors? *2020-05-26, version 2.6* This would be a five star app with sensor addition also security arm and disarm. That happens and we have a great app!!!!! ### 4/5 — Eigentlich gut.. 24h Uhr fehlt aber. *2020-05-10* Eigentlich eine gute und praktische App. Reagiert mitunter etwas träge was man aber verkraften kann. Mir fehlt nur die 24h Uhr und vielleicht noch das das Wetter detaillierter eingestellt werden kann. ### 2/5 — Very nice but.... *2020-01-20, version 2.6* The app is very nice but it needs of some important improvements. It is impossible to connect it to a google home account, indeed it works only with home kit compatible devices, Sonos, roku but you cannot control the thousands of devices compatible with google home or Alexa. Since 8 months there aren’t updates... ### 4/5 — What the default home app should be. *2019-12-04, version 2.6* I just bought this app and it’s what Apple should have made their default home app. All my controls right at my finger tips for all my devices. 4 stars since there is still some room to improve but I highly recommend this. I would love to see features like mute buttons for speakers. Since I have the Sonos beam for my television it would be great to have this functionality. Also I would prefer the remote function before more like the Siri remote/remote app instead of tapping arrows since that has become intuitive with this interface. Keep up the great work! ### 3/5 — Limited Watch Support *2019-10-21, version 2.6* App works as advertised on iPhone and iPad but doesn’t have ability to control lights, locks or app-created routines on Apple Watch. I can only control Apple TV and Sonos speakers with my watch. ### 3/5 — Has great potential, but not quite there yet *2019-10-18, version 2.6* Bought this to run in Guided Access mode on a wall mounted iPad at our cabin to act as a home hub. I like the interface, but the dynamic cards which move and shuffle depending on open activities (whether something is playing on Sonos or Apple TV, etc) drives me nuts. PLEASE include a static option in the settings. Also, some devices get hidden or invisible in the expanded cards after the devices are reconfigured (moved to a different room for example). The only way I could get these to reappear was to delete and reinstall Fuse. I think this issue is unique to the iPad version of the app, it does not occur on my iPhone 8. Lastly, the app will hang or be blank for several seconds after waking up the iPad. This may be a Guided Access issue, but it doesn’t occur in the default Apple Home app. For now I’ll keep using it, but will jump ship if it doesn’t improve or if something better comes along. ### 2/5 — Sonos issue *2019-10-17, version 2.6* I can’t seem to get any of the Sonos grouped and it seems pervasive on iOS 13. Developer just said it works for him. Very limited in customizations. Wasted $5. ### 3/5 — Einfache und schöne App *2019-06-16* Eine sehr einfach gehaltene und schöne App. Die Einrichtung ist kinderleicht. Die Bedienung ist sehr gut gelungen. Die einbinden Songs und hue finde ich sehr gut gelungen. Doch leider werden Räume in denen nur Sensoren (Temperatur) verbaut sind garnicht erst angezeigt. Bei der Uhr kann man leider das Format nicht ändern und beim Wetter kann man die plz auch nicht angeben. Die Steuerung der Heizung wäre auch noch wünschenswert. Hier besteht noch Nachholbedarf. ### 2/5 — Viel Potential *2019-06-03* Optisch sehr schön, aber funktionell noch viel Platz nach oben. Wünschenswert wären weitere Widgets, wie beispielsweise Wetter, HTML iFrames, Kalender... außerdem wäre es sehr schön, wenn die Sonos Favoriten inkl. Cover als schneller/einfacher/optisch schöner ausgewählt werden könnten. Des Weiteren sollte an der Stabilität gearbeitet werden, so App stürzt sehr oft beim Gruppieren von Widgets (Sonos + Hue) ab. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work as advertised *2022-03-05, version 3.1* I rarely write reviews, but apparently this app is no longer supported. All of the tiles stack on the left side of screen and look nothing like the preview pictures. Should be able to move tiles around. I feel like I got ripped off. This has so much potential to be a great app, but don’t waste your money unless it is updated. ### 1/5 — Unuseful *2021-10-24, version 3.1* Not working with homekit. Crashes each time I tap on the “Manage Routines” button. I simply wasted my 4,99€ ### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to support Roku *2021-06-23, version 3.1* That was one of the reasons I bought the app. Fairly disappointed with my purchase. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht. *2021-05-09* Es werden nicht mal die Hälfte der HomeKit Geräte angezeigt. Die Sonos Lautsprecher werden alle erkannt, aber nur ein Raum lässt sich steuern. 🥺 ### 1/5 — Really limited *2021-04-25* This app is not localized and does not even use the system local to display the time correctly. Also the app have no support for HomePod and AirPlay 2 enabled HiFi. ### 1/5 — Nicht zu empfehlen *2021-03-31* Stürzt auf meinem iPad dauernd ab und das verschieben und platzieren der einzelnen Kacheln war auch nicht möglich. ### 1/5 — Poor app, crashes. Cannot use. *2021-02-15* Downloaded this on a recommendation but I cannot use it because it crashes every time I open it. I'm using an iPhone 12 Pro Max on the latest iOS, so I have no idea why it's crashing. Waste of money. My advice is do not download it. ### 1/5 — Für Sonos unbrauchbar... *2019-05-25* ... alles Andere können kostenlose Apps wie Eve genauso. Flop, nicht hopp. ### 1/5 — Multi-Room mit Sonos ist eine Qual. *2019-01-25* Optisch schön. Funktionalität ist ein Witz. Räume sind nicht gruppierbar. Selbst Stereo mit sub-Woofer Gruppen werden auseinander gerissen. Steuerung nur über Favoriten ohne Vorschaubildchen ist für über 5 Euro back to the 80s. Sorry das is nix! ### 1/5 — Watch functionality *2019-01-12, version 1.9.1* Watch app doesn’t serve much of a function if you can’t start stations from Sonos favorites. It’s no different that the basic steaming audio functionality. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Do it... worth it *2020-06-12* Worth the $8, it’s what I’ve needed for a long time ### 5/5 — Good *2020-04-20* Had a little trouble trying to set it up, but I contacted the dev and he talked me through it and sorted out my set up. Stellar performance 👌🏻 ### 5/5 — Gute Übersicht! *2019-06-03* Komplette Räume können zugeklappt werden, und trotzdem die Helligkeit gesteuert werden. Mit einem Klick gibts mehr Details und Möglichkeiten. Auch Temperatur und Bewegung wird in der kompakten Ansicht angezeigt! Perfekt um die ganze Wohnung mit einer iPhone Seite zu steuern, inklusive Apple TV Steuerung. Weiter so! ### 5/5 — Best HomeKit control app I have found *2019-05-24, version 2.6* I have been using HomeKit from the very beginning and committed to it even though products were limited and controlled was often challenging at best. I have tried most every home kit compatible control app possible and haven’t fond anything that I felt was well designed or met my needs very well until I came across this app. Currently in my home I have 93 Phillips Hue lights across 2 hue hubs with 20 hue dimmer switches, 12 iDevice switches, 4 iDevice in wall light switches/dimmers, 2 iDevice thermostats, 12 different eve sensors, an eve flare, 3 different Nanoleaf lighting kits, 4 TV’s, 5 HomePods,4 Sylvania light strips, 2 Koogeek smart power strips, 3 Schlage Sense door locks, and a Chamberlain MyQ Garage door opener. In addition to all of these HomeKit devices I have 17 SONOS speakers throughout my home. For best control my home kit implementation is broken into 25 rooms and three main zones. The only smart home devices I have that are not HomeKit compatible are a ring doorbell and floodlight cam. Simply because I could not find a similar product that was HomeKit compatible. Hopefully those will eventually be integrated into the ecosystem. This app has allowed me to set up an iPad with a beautifully organized interface to control my entire home. It takes a simple approach that is a good balance of form and function. Many apps try to offer too much functionality and become bloated or focus on form and leave off basic functionality. Apple’s native home app is lacking and difficult to navigate if you have a lot of HomeKit devices. I get especially frustrated with their implementation of screen selection and room navigation. This app has made me excited about home automation control again. There are a few things I find that could be improved upon in the app but its a solid step in the right direction. Apple would do well to take some design queues from this app. I have been mildly frustrated with the fact that the app seems to want to reconfigure itself upon opening and move things around a bit. With as many devices as I have, I spent a great deal of time trying to organize things in the best possible configuration. Only to have it shuffled around several times. I think there should be an option to make the layout static. In addition to this I would like to have the ability to save the configuration to the iCloud or somewhere so that if i have the app on another device I don’t have to start my configuration from scratch on each individual device. Would love to see this app ported to the Mac. Would also be nice to be able to get a bit more weather info at the top. As with all things there is usually room for improvement. This app has a solid foundation for sure. I’m looking forward to seeing how it matures over time. ### 5/5 — The best home automation UI I’ve EVER used. *2019-03-22, version 2.5.2* Please fix the Apple TV connection. The only way to connect is with the default theme. Otherwise, if background is not blurred you can’t enter Apple TV code as input DOES NOT WORK. MUST GO INTO DEFAULt mode to pair and then you can use dark or light theme. This developer and the app are incredible. Home automation enthusiast and have been looking for something with a nice UI to control my over 100 devices. After responding to the above request within 48 hrs, I can not see how this app isn’t a 5 star ACROSS the board. 6 stars if I could. Easily the best interface and wipes Smartthings, Homekit and all fat out of the park. Once you add automations or such, don’t think I’d use another app. Of course, sensors don’t show up, but I can see the room temps. One hue sensor not showing. Otherwise.....WOOOOOOWWWW. ### 5/5 — Schnell und einfach *2019-01-27* Eine App für Sonos, Apple TV und Home. Super praktisch und funktioniert für mich gut. ### 5/5 — New update solves all. *2019-01-23, version 1.9.3* The developer worked with me to adapt the app to control all my stations and playback on my sonos system, from my wrist. This is the only seamless Apple Watch sonos controller I’ve found. Well done, and thank you. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-12-14, version 1.9* Love the design and discovery of all of my devices ### 4/5 — Looks promising *2023-02-12* This needs to be faster ### 4/5 — Best of class. But a big buggy. *2021-05-15, version 3.1* The best dashboard out there - but still seems a bit buggy. Restarts, the sliding-dots (volume, brightness) also seem to be a bit funky acting. But generally, really great app that I hope to see advanced. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
