Great auxiliary options!

This app adds what apple should have. Only suggestion is to add ability to pinch to zoom on viewing video.

如果有VP,真的要试试

一直在寻找可以在Vision Pro上控制HomeKit的小组件App,AR+智能家居真的没话说!如果你有Vision Pro,并且也用Homekit,那真的得尝试一下!虽然以兼容性App运行,但一切顺利,感谢开发者,软件挺棒的,动效也挺高级,希望持续优化,比如控制灯泡颜色和亮度的交互可以再改进一下,现在每次点击都会跳转控制面板,来回切换确实容易懵,而且有时会因此增加操作交互次数。不过其他的都挺棒的,最重点是达到了我一直想要的AR+HomeKit的效果,值得五颗星!

Should be standard with HomeKit

Works well, crazy this functionality isn’t included in HomeKit. Widgets occasionally become unresponsive but for me it’s always an issue with my Z-Wave or Ikea integration and it needs a reboot for HomeKit and this widget to see it again. If HomeKit is unresponsive with a device, this widget will be as well.

Stopped working

Stopped working after a while.

Insanely Useful & Great with Arlo and other cameras!

This app is insanely useful for anyone who uses the Home app as your main smart home application. Once you start building panels and creating widgets, this app instantly becomes your go to app! The Lock Screen widget is awesome! The active widgets are awesome! There is so much you can do with this app! Anyone who has cameras (Arlo in particular), this is a must have application. For some reason, accessing live feeds off your Arlo cameras is super fast with this app as compared with the Home app or even the Arlo native app. Not sure why or how but try setting up a camera live feed using this app’s widget and you will notice a significant decrease in the time it takes for the feed to start streaming. Finally, the battery sensors provide you with a simple glance to see all your camera battery levels in one place!

Awesome

Awesome!!!

Does not update

Used to work great. Since 18.4 does not update. Manual update does not work either. Now widget panel is just a black square does not display widgets.

Doesn’t seem to work anymore

The widgets just refuse to update.

Worked great for years, broken in 18.4 betas and release

iPhone 14 with 18.4 public release. I’ve deleted and reinstalled and reset widgets. No response to tapping on any widgets for activities.

Great App but doesn’t update!

I really like the layout and functionality of the app. I purchased a subscription for a while to test out the pro features …specifically the auto update feature every XX minutes. However this feature never really worked and I always had to click to refresh it. Really unfortunate as otherwise I would have loved the app.

Home Widget

Not a bad concept but I didn't find this app very useful. I created a widget for my eve weather device but never utilized it. maybe Ill try it again in the future as I did pay for lifetime.

1.9.2 totally messed up widgets on iOS 17

Not sure how things look like on iOS 18, but the widget layouts are totally messed up, please fix.

Does not refresh

I wish the settings menu wasn’t held for ransom. After paying for a lifetime license and got the settings unlocked I find out the widgets are refreshed by time interval instead of immediately based on when a state of a switch changes other than from this app. Totally useless for my needs and I wished I would have read the reviews prior to dishing out my money.

Mac

Where is the Mac widget? The iphone widgets on Mac don’t work reliably

Perfetta e puoi acquistare!

Una app perfetta? Che puoi acquistare invece che abbonarti?
Fate una statua agli autori!

Io ho comperato un apparecchio che sostituisce i telecomandi, ho salvato come shortcuts, con questa app chiamo le shortcuts! Nella home tengo Degli stack. Il mio iPhone ora controlla il proiettore, le casse Bluetooth, le luci Smart, tutto dalla homepage, con comodi stacks

Extremely slow.

This looks like a very powerful home widget but the interface is soooo slow that it’s impossible to use. Hopefully they issue a new version soon.

Bugs have made this unusable

I bought the lifetime license for this because I thought it was very helpful but recently my premade widgets have been becoming unresponsive as a majority of the buttons that have been associated with certain devices have lost that association all at once. I fixed it once by painstakingly going back in and resetting each widget but I woke up this morning and it was back to its messed up state.

Needs an update/bug fix

I think the new IOS update broke/prevent us from adding widgets to the Lock Screen

Garage Doors Not Updating Status

Although this is a great concept, the widgets don’t seem to update in real time unless controlled directly from the widget. My main use case is to have a 3 panel widget showing both of our garage door and our house lock. When the house is secure, they are grey and when anything is open or unlocked they are highlighted. This works fine if you control the devices from the widget directly. However, if they are manually changed or changed via Siri/homekit directly the widget doesn’t show the status change for a very long time. This negates the usefulness of the app. If I’m doing something wrong please let me know.

Finally, I really don’t understand the backgrounds concept. The setup and functionality is quite confusing and I still don’t understand it.
