Beautiful app
Very polished, easy to use. Exactly what I needed for my wall-mounted iPad. Works in landscape if anyone’s wondering like I was.
Impressed with the utility
I don't often write app reviews, but I this app is so useful that I want others to know about it. It feels like magic. After a super easy set up, it knows what room I'm in with 99.9% accuracy and lets me quickly control the lights, either all together or individually. I find myself using this over Apple's Home app for light control as well, and it's fast and easy to get back to the main screen to control other rooms. Just one swipe and tap and I'm in the room I want to be in. An it's a one-time payment? Heck yes. Don’t sleep on this app.

Makes lights simple and intuitive
Sometimes less is more. This is the best HomeKit light control app I’ve found so far. Thoughtfully designed and uncomplicated. Apple Watch companion app could have some minor improvements: make it easier to turn rooms on/off with a tap and integrate better with live activity feature from phone if possible (live activity on watch shows from phone but isn’t interactive and doesn’t launch watch app).

I love it so much hfhjkuukk
I need a new updeta
Useless to me
Unfortunately, the application identifies devices using obscure manufacturing model numbers. I have no idea what many of these devices are.
Easy to set up and easy to use
The setup process is very easy. Merely walk around your place to let the app discover your lights. I have Hue and Nanoleaf. It seems to discover all Bluetooth and WiFi devices. Once it has done so, pick the devices that are your lights. Make sure they are in the correct assigned rooms.
After the setup, you can control brightness, temperature, color, etc. You can control by room or by light.
I hesitate to use the word ‘simple’. It is dead simple, but don’t get the wrong impression, it’s also a joy to use because you don’t have take hours and hours to set it up and try to figure out how the silly thing works.

Excellent App
Once you get used to the fairly easy to use UI, it’s a delight to use. The room detection feature is the best by far. It’s part of a the premium version which is only a one time fee. You can try it however in a trial. It works great once set up.
Love the features—HATE the design
UPDATE: The new design is such a welcome change. Definitely a step in the right direction (one that has me considering extending my subscription another year). Previous rating = 3/5
With the changes = 4/5
***
Room detection is such a compelling and powerful feature, made all the more attractive by the suite of Shortcut actions made available. It’s just a shame that as a result of questionable design choices, actually using the app itself becomes such an unappealing experience.

Great app!
I love this app. I love the concept, and it’s a very powerful way to control the lights in the house. Highly recommend downloading it!
Well designed and beautiful!
My goto app for adjusting HomeKit lights due to its excellent use of iOS features as well as superb design. Good job!
Great app for HomeKit
Easy and smart. Now if it could also trigger scenes and shortcuts..,
Solves one of the smart homes biggest hurdles.
Those who are into smart homes know one of the most annoying parts is finding the right room to control the light you want when opening the home app.
For those who have looked into how to solve this, you may have come across the madness of home assistant, where people would put a raspberry pi with a Bluetooth beacon in each room, which would measure how close/far your phone/watch was from each beacon to tell which room you are in. And even after all that work, you would still need to deal with, maintain, and build dashboards to display the correct lights in home assistant. A fun way to pass time for hobbyist, a good way to get divorced for the rest of us.
This solves the issue pretty easily after a small amount of setup. Walk around your rooms for 20 seconds to train the app to recognize which room is which- this is very clever, it uses Bluetooth to measure signal strength of other things in your home, like tvs and speakers, to tell which room you are in based on the strength of signal to these items. Best of all, it ties into your existing Apple home setup. I keep the widget on my phone at all times and it works great.
The lifetime license is a cherry on top!

You cannot use anything in the app without it making you buy an app purchase
This app look very interesting and it has good reviews. I’m sure it could possibly be a good app but I don’t know. I haven’t had the opportunity to. I’ve set up the app and as soon as I try to do anything, ask me to go premium this is now including, changing the dimmer settings on the lights so I can’t even turn the light up and down on the phone which is one of its main functions if this was a truly free trial let’s say it was timed. You give a day or a week then I am pretty sure I would’ve brought this up because it seems very interesting but having this tactic of drawing you in saying it’s free and then every function being hidden behind a payroll is kind of disgusting.
Ps i’ve just come back to the app to check whether the review has gone live and it still hasn’t. I’m hoping the Apple is running a process through this to check the review for rude words of which they will find and then will put the review up live I will be checking in on this on a regular basis if I don’t see it live within a week I will be ringing Apple up to make a complaint, even on top of all that I don’t see why my one star shouldn’t count straight away as you don’t need to check the one star for anything I will be checking back. I will be making sure this review goes up.

Solves Light Management Elegantly
The room guessing is very useful and up to this point has been fairly accurate for me.
Definitely worth the investment!

Simply Awesome!
Just downloaded.. this is fantastic! It solves my frustrations with controlling my HomeKit lights via traditional methods. Super simple and clean.. love it!
Awesome
I'm loving it
Slick app, great added features
Usually the auxiliary apps to HomeKit offer little functionality beyond the native app itself. The auto detection feature and live widgets in this app, however, are game changers. I’d be willing to bet it gets shut down in the near future—once Apple buys the developers out in a bid to include the auto detect features in the native Home app itself.
Great app in a slick package that works well and is worth the money spent.

First impressions
Just amazing app, love the idea and the room control layout, I will use some old iPhone devices as light switches.
