Shortcuts are broken

Latest update broke all my shortcuts and the replacement actions they want me to use just open the app and don’t do the thing they’re supposed to do. I updated everything and it’s still broken. It’s hard to rely on home assistant when they keep breaking things.

No longer works properly!

They seem to have messed up this App with recent updates. No longer connects to my Home Assistant Server . Every time I want to use the App, I now have to delete the server configuration and reinstall it.

No support

Has a bug that broke my companion app sensors which broke my automations. Only way to submit bug report is GitHub and I submitted one a month ago. Other people responded to the report saying they had the same issue but the developer has not commented on it at all.

Before this everything worked flawlessly and the app was amazing.

Password Reset Nightmare - Don’t Bother

After months of running home assistant and accessing it from both my iPhone and Mac with no issues, the username and password randomly stopped working. The steps required to simply reset a password are onerous and completely unnecessary. After fighting with it, I gave up and simply deleted the server software, and the app from my iPhone. This is a consumer level product with ancient linux command line solutions that require physical access to the server, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. There is no excuse for this. None.
