Could be so much more as people start getting more and more iOS devices in their homes. For me - it needs the ability to hide devices/scenes - or specify favorites… I don't want the same view to show on all of my iOS devices. That's something that wants to be configured client-side… not from the server/controller interface. ### 3/5 — I wish I bought this sooner, but... *2012-02-10* ... having unfortunately paid for and tried most of the other Insteon- compatible remote controllers, I wish I had stumbled upon this one first. Most of the apps out there are simple enough, but getting them to work is such a pain... and when they do, they are slow to refresh the on/off status of a device, or simply time-out while doing so. Initially I had much better luck with HomeGuru, but over the past few months it's also had some failures to refresh and device time-outs. I also agree with some of the other reviewers that the graphic interface could use some improvement, but I think it's still one of the best available. ### 3/5 — A good start *2010-12-28* I like e compact list of all the scenes and devices. Unfortunately the simulated light switch is space consuming and inefficient. If this app had a set of buttons to control each device, it would fit in the same amount of space and provide quick access to the controls without the simulated switch. A slider bar for brightness would be the best control type, with on and off steady end. Started crashing when I tried to add authentication to an existing controller. I deleted the app and reinstalled and it worked again. This is a great start to a good controller. I hope they keep improving it. ### 4/5 — Fast Control of Insteon switches *2012-12-02* My Insteon switches respond almost immediately with this app, unlike MobiLinc. I wish I could control my Insteon thermostat. The blue indicator when a dimmer is off makes it appear like its turned on. Would like to see gray for off and blue or red for on. ### 4/5 — Very good *2011-07-03, version 3.0* This app works much better than mobilinc pro. It is much faster. A option to show only "My Favorites" would be very nice. ### 5/5 — Awesome Insteon Controller *2013-01-30* Worth every penny. Great app for controlling your insteon home from anywhere in the world. Works really well. Developer is super-responsive to any questions or issues. ### 5/5 — You will like this *2011-08-03* Just what I wanted. Presents just what you need, efficiently. Once I understood how to format my addresses, it was smooth and effortless. Takes the drudgery out of getting to your device to operate it. Response is immediate. Forget Mobilinc. Also, support from Scott is right there, just ask. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2011-03-04, version 2.0.3* Great app; much more user friendly and reliable than the other 'popular' one. This app hasn't missed a command or status update even once in the time I have been using it. Can't say that for all the others I have tried out. ### 5/5 — It works!!!!!! *2010-02-03* More graphics pls. and thermostat control. Customer service is awesome too. ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2009-12-23* A marvelous tool and a really straightforward system. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
