It does something special

No other app lets you make a HomeKit dashboard anywhere near as powerful as this. It can do so much. Apps for all of the apple ecosystem is terrific !

Great

Nice improvements!

Looks OK but has some fundamental flaws

A basic dashboard (it's free so let's not get too critical here) but the MacOS version could do with fixing a few fundamental flaws. 1. It doesn't remember its window placement/size etc - as it's a "dashboard" it really needs to reopen the way it was last setup. 2. I don't know where it's getting it's location data from but it's dead wrong. Pressing "current location" button seems to do nothing and doesn't correct the issue. 3. Dashboard layout is not customisable eg you can't move or remove weather, time etc. Only the "Homekit" part has any customisation. 4. the Light/Dark and "accent colour" options only change the settings screens NOT the dashboard!!! Huh?!?!?!

Best way to watch Homekit on Apple TV!

I use this app mainly on my Apple TV's. Love that it updates info on it's own. It's turned into the best way to keep an eye on my Homekit stuff! Really appreciate the weather improvements on the last update.
Thanks!

Nice idea, but clunky

Like the idea of pulling weather an calenda data together, but this feels like a 0.5 verrsion
- Interface is unintuitive, not obvious how to switch between different views
- woudl be much higher value if it could track Hoemkit accessory historical data alongside the rest eg show thermostat data and weather together
