Took me a while to set it up
Really took me a while to set it up. Application was constantly crashing, so I had to reinstall it a couple of times and grant access multiple times in order to make it work. Mapping of the space works quite well, but the idea with widgets I do not like. I would prefer to be able to map my devices directly within the room. It often crashes for me while using it so I won’t be using it, but I do like the way where this is going. By the way, when I hear the apps name, it doesn’t remind me of my home. It reminds me of a certain cartoon character.

Great smart home app!
WARNING: MISLEADING 3 non function dashboards to test without subscription
WARNING: MISLEADING ⚠️
The app advertises 3 dashboards, but after purchasing, you discover they’re essentially empty shells requiring ADDITIONAL subscriptions to actually function.
This feels like a classic bait-and-switch. The “Lifetime” purchase doesn’t provide what’s reasonably expected based on descriptions. Instead, clicking dashboard controls just opens windows with the same limited options, constantly pushing for more payments.
Save your money and avoid the frustration. The app itself might be useful if honestly marketed, but the deceptive pricing structure and hidden paywalls make it impossible to recommend.

Hello! I'm sorry you had this horrible experience, the LIFETIME gives you indeed UNLIMITED access to the app! This was probably a BUG where the purchased was not properly restored on launching the app. I made the restore process more robust on v18.0 preventing this bug to occur again. Thanks for pointing this out! Hope you are willing to give the app a second chance, please contact me so I can compensate you :)
Overall, it’s nice, but not reliably accurate
I really like the overall design and UI. I’ve tried several different Apple HomeKit dashboards. To me, it’s the best interface. The one drawback is that it doesn’t seem to recognize when lights are off. The native Home app normally updates within a couple of seconds of opening showing the status of all devices. Homerise, on the other hand doesn’t seem to consistently show the current status of lights, and other devices.
