So disappointed

Since ios 27.2 this home app has crashed first deleted my home added everything back now the homepod mini speakers fail more often than not communicating with this app. Very glad i never ordered any of the recently released home series kit speakers TV or home screen worked well before 27.2 now a disaster area

Worst thing

If this doesn’t update, I will kms, this is the worst thing ever

Good user interface, no flexability

I mainly use the app for some smart LED strips, I know that the app is designed for all smart home devises but it lacks so much.

I use some govee LED strips and in the govee home app I can set animations and different patterns for the strips to add some movement and a little more style to the room. But all I can do on this app is set static colors!

I switched to the home app because of the better integration with iOS and the widgets in the control center. And I love how smooth and minimalistic the app is. But what’s the point? If all I can do is set colors and stuff then is there really any point to switching?

As there is a new CEO to Apple, I would love to see some changes in this. It just seems like Apple just kinda neglected the home app. Surely there can be more than just three tabs.

It’s your turn John!!
Do something!!

It’s fine

It’s good. It works pretty well, but it’s not the best.

Yeah, NO

Horrible app couldn’t even connect to the recommended light bulbs. Thankfully the app is perfect from Nanoleaf is perfect

i hate it

Slow and glitchy after last update

Since the last update the home app has not been working well. It’s been very slow and glitchy. Additionally when I got my eufy cameras a year ago I connected them to HomeKit with no setup issues. Only problem was at the time it didn’t support 4K so I disconnected them. Since iOS 27 came out it supports 4K. Now the new problem is no matter how many times I’ve tried since the release of iOS 27 my cameras will not fully setup within HomeKit. I go through the settings in the eufy app and it creates the bridge between the two. Then when I go to the home app the cameras aren’t there and can’t be found. It does acknowledge the bridge under settings but that’s it.

Quit 3x in 5 months

The stability of app staying connected is a laughable joke. This has lost connection to everything 3 times now in less than 5 months!! It’s NEVER a simple resolution and has been 3 different issues. So, you can’t just repeat the steps from the last time. End up losing 4-5 hours of your day getting it back.

Wonderful!!

Helps us see our home at once.

Level lock integration, broken

After a recent iOS update my home keys suddenly stopped working. In other words, my iPhone and watch could no longer open the two Level locks that previously worked. It is impossible to add a new home key because there is no menu anywhere in the app to add or update the Home key. It is so infuriating to know that a feature is there and yet Apple seems to wanna hide it from everyone. This is one of the main reasons I got a Level lock. I thought it would be compatible with Apple home because they sell these locks in the Apple Store!! this is the brand they are pushing or at least they were at that time they integration with it seems really broken. Either that or the whole Apple Home key Support got broken with the update and there was to maintain existing Apple home keys that already work. If there is an existing home key already then why doesn’t Apple Home app have a menu item I can re-add it?? again. This is what is so infuriating about this app is the feature simply disappeared and there’s no way to get the of the feature or fix it in any way

Bugs

Could be better

Inutile

Très mauvais

It’s coming along

Much better than the Google home app by far. Keep updating this Apple. It’s looking good. Just need to be able to add more devices seamlessly.

Switched over to iPhone. Home kit sucks.

I bought my first Home Kit compatible smart bulbs with Matter and this giant turd Home Kit app is constantly losing connection to them. Which is defeating the whole point of being a smart home setup, able to tell Siri to control things. I’m always having to get my phone, open Tapo, and manually toggle the lights.

Latest IOS update

Seri and HomeKit are having a HUGE issue.

Pmo

Question does this thing actually work for anyone? Like 20% of the time I'll luck out. Otherwise forever updating or no response

Garage App

Makes it a nightmare to add and keep your accessories working without re-adding them 1k times. It has more bugs than a hood house.

Needs work

add some manual calibration for temperature and humidity sensors…

Not working

It won’t connect to anything. (I don’t have a HomePod or Apple TV)

Feature missing

One of the things I like about HomeKit is I can talk to Siri to get it to turn things on and off naturally. What I have an issue with in home kit is it’s not personalised. What would be good is if members of a household could take ownership of certain devices, because Siri knows who is speaking to it, so that when I say “turn off me bedside table light” it knows it doesn’t mean my wife’s or one of my sons. And when one of my sons say turn off mum and dad’s bedroom light, Siri knows what he means.
