This thing sucks

The app works maybe 15% of the time. Nothing ever connects. I could go on forever please don’t use this app

I gave up on it

I found the app was cumbersome and didnt link up with all my smart home devices very consistently. I just use the apps now that come with the devices. Much more reliable and more streamlined in their use. Come on apple. Do better.

Broken

Apple updated the app so that when you have smart light bulbs connected to both Alexa and Apple now you get non stop security notifications that your light bulbs have joined another family called Alexa. Had to turn all my notifications off. Horrible QA here.

Garbage

Absolute trash of an app. Your devices don’t communicate well at all, with one another. Overpriced. Underwhelming performance and OVERwhelming troubleshooting process.

Minimal support in the admin threads. Minimal info on setup and what to do if you get a red ring on a HomePod. Apple TV, useless with home app.
