### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-01-28*

As far as I can tell, this app is useless.

### 5/5 — Great app if you read how to use!

*2025-07-08*

Love having this on my iPhone for troubleshooting all of the weird things HomeKit does, and it’s really handy to have on the Mac for a historical log. Big fan of all your apps!

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2025-02-03*

Ich wollte damit meine HomeKit Automatisierung überwachen. Man kann keinen log exportieren und geloggt wir manchmal aber nur selektive aber zu 90 garnicht. Schade

### 1/5 — Actually still trying to figure out

*2025-01-12*

I’m not going to give a review yet for I think this app was released before it was finished. Thought home log was going to log the activity and help out on catastrophic issues. 
Please finish!

### 5/5 — BACK IN WORKING ORDER!!!

*2024-12-12*

The previous bugs have been fixed, and the app no longer crashes on startup. So glad!

### 2/5 — not compatible with iOS/iPadOS 18

*2024-11-27*

2023/11/26: 
as soon as you open the app, it immediately crashes. hopefully, this bug is resolved soon.

2024/11/27:
another update today, and the app still crashes.

### 2/5 — Today’s update

*2024-11-27*

Crashes

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-11-02*

This app is no longer updated and doesn’t appear to work any longer :(

### 1/5 — 没我任何用处，千万不要买

*2024-07-22*

没我任何用处，千万不要买

### 1/5 — Not Working on Sonoma (Jun 1, 2024)

*2024-06-01*

Currently the app does not function on my MacBook Pro running Sonoma. There's no logs to be had, nor any indication of errors communicating with HomeKit.

Avoid until updated.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

This update fixes some minor bugs.

### 1.2 — 2022-05-24

HomeLog 1.2 introduces a new data engine to the core of the app. This offers more performance in logging and in general app performance. 

The new data engine is setup to allow for future features such as graphs that are actively being developed now.

Note: This update does require a data reset to function which will be performed automatically at first launch.

### 1.1.6 — 2021-12-17

This update improves performance with logging and clarifies how logging on iOS works.

As a reminder, logging on iOS devices will only occur when HomeLog is open and active on the screen. For long term event logging, I suggest utilising the macOS version of HomeLog for optimal results.
