So much better than Apple’s Home App
Takes the training wheels off. For power users.
Works Very Well
It’s the best tool for working with the “revived” Insteon. The ability to import would be nice.
Good, but connection issues
This version of Touch works as well for me as the 2.xx versions with one exception: when the app connects via Bonjour something happens to the png files. It can’t find some and others are the wrong sizes. The web page version displays normally. I resolved this by manually entering the database file via https. Is Touch finding a previous version of the database via Bonjour? I looked on both my iPad and the Mac mini server without finding one. I tossed all previous versions of Indigo and their app support files. I also tossed all affected png files from the device folder and reentered.

Disappointed
With the upgrade to the latest version, voice controls do not work with the companion app, Indigo Touch. Supposidly there's a workaround but I haven't been able to get that working. In my opinion, that should be built in to the app and not require other solutions.
Very powerful, the best.
I have been using Indigo for more than 10 years to control every system in my house, including lighting, alarm, HVAC, AV, irrigation, security, etc. It is very well-designed, incredibly powerful and completely reliable. It is by far the best home automation system control I’ve ever used, including the old corporate standbys of Crestron and Control4. Indigo is far more flexible and intuitive to program. The devs are continually growing and updating Indigo’s capabilities and there is a formidable community of users who also contribute greatly to the system by way of professionally functional plugin-ins that address many broad and niche uses for a wide variety of devices, the most I’ve ever seen. All the major control systems are compatible and fully integrated into Indigo. Can’t recommend highly enough.

i’ve been using it for years and love it
my whole home is automated using indigo and indigo touch. The applications have enough depth to do just about anything you would want but I still easy to get started with.
Good, almost great
Excellent program, like the interface and the great support. There are usually quick fixes and updates, although there are some issues that take time like the fix to get it working with iTunes 11. Overall this is a great program and I choose this over the smarthome java application for the isy99.
Very easy to use
It’s reliable and integrates a lot of devices, thermostats, alarm systems, ceiling fans, motion/temp sensors, watering systems, security cameras, etc. into one easy to use interface. We completely depend on it, it’s amazing. Just buy whatever devices you need from Amazon and plug them into Indigo, which can run on a Mac Mini (suggested 2018 or newer) from anywhere in your house. No wiring or miss and fuss. Although, you might want a licensed electrician to install outlets and switches. Many devices plug into existing outlets or are battery powered. We’ve been using it since version 1 in 2003 or 2004. Indigo forever!

Almost perfect!
This app hasn’t been updated for many years. Not sure it’s still supported.
Good, but needs Shortcuts support
All the app needs to earn ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ is support for Shortcuts.
Good, but needs an update
This is a really well-written app that works smoothly and reliably. I just wish they’d give it a small update because its UI doesn’t fill the screen on modern iPhones.
In dire need of updating
I used to use this app all the time starting 10 years ago when there wasn’t much competition in the Home Automation space for iOS. Unfortunately, the developers have more or less abandoned this app and have not updated it since before the iPhone X. So it looks old and doesn’t even fill the screen properly.
It’s a real bummer, because as I said, it was once very useful, but as it is right now, it’s hopelessly out of date. I hope the developers read this review and realize that the clock is ticking. They are going to be out of business soon if they don’t get their act together, because other offerings in the automation space are simply far superior.

Completely neglected
Look at the version history. This app was updated 5 years ago. Meanwhile Indigo began a subscription model years ago. So now you’re locked into paying yearly for Indigo and this app which literally still doesn’t fill any iPhone screen larger than an 8. Indigo is a small operation which does what it does well and the developers are smart, helpful and responsive. But I really think it’s shameful how little attention this app has gotten. They say they users would rather they focus on voice control through Alexa/Siri etc but, even all these years later, the interface for smart assistants is both tricky and rudimentary. And in the meantime this app is woefully outdated. It works but there are no widgets, no Siri or Shortcuts hooks, nothing worthy of a modern home automation system. It’s a total drag.

A staple in our security system
We have relied on this app ever since it became available. From our phones we run lights, alarms, irrigation, and more. It is nicely designed and is well-supported.
Rock Solid
I have been using Indigo with Insteon devices for almost 10 years. It’s always been fantastic. I love the community providing plug-ins for many different sources. I’m not much of a programmer but this tool has allowed me to be so creative in setting scenes and scenarios to act upon. I have to say I am shocked that some bigger company has not swallowed them up.

Out of date
This App will not work with Apple’s latest software release.
Powerful and secure
Indigo remains one of the most capable home automation systems available. I hope it can have a rebirth to expand capability to Matter compatible products of the future. This system can easily be configured to work 100% locally. Allowing only its owner to know who does what when.
Consistently does the job
I’m a long-time user of the indigo Home automation system. This app allows me to securely control all devices in my smart home whether at home or away. We have a number of older iPads hanging on walls throughout the house running this app. It’s a great way to give you a futuristic type house. Visitors are amazed at what we can control.

Outdated app
No major updates in the 5+ years I’ve used it.
Good but needs updates
I’ve been using Indigo home automation for many years now and it is by far the most flexible solution. On the market. There is practically nothing you can’t do with it if you have the time and knowledge required.
The one thing I would say is that that Indigo touch could do with updates. It has been over three years since the last one and that simply does not give a good feeling of further development as well as providing value for the solution overall. It certainly isn’t cheap.
Having said that it is a good product.
