I love that I can create powerful scenes to make things magically happen based on time of day or any device within the home, such as a light or TV turning on. ### 5/5 — Industry Leading Application *2022-10-10, version 5.0.0* Seamless control of all my smart home devices. Absolutely in love with the new UI! ### 5/5 — Great Update! *2022-10-08, version 5.0.0* New update makes a great control platform even better! It’s a natural extension of the voice control capability Josh delivers and puts all the items you need access to most, right at your fingertips with quick access. ### 5/5 — Move over Alexa *2022-08-10, version 4.1.22* Alexa has nothing on Josh. Finally a voice-control smart home system that does what it should. Beautiful UI design, super easy to use and privacy focused. Reach out to your local Josh.ai Dealer for a demo. You'll love this ### 5/5 — Just What We Needed *2021-01-22, version 4.1.3* Have some very specific lifestyle controls that needed simplifying, and Josh handles them beautifully!! ### 5/5 — Convenience, Control and Fun *2021-01-22, version 4.1.3* I liked using other voice assistants on my phone, and in the kitchen and office. But I love that Josh is a whole control system of its own. It works with speakers and Roku that I already had. Now I’m adding a smart thermostat for convenience and lighting control for more security and fun. ### 5/5 — Great System *2021-01-22, version 4.1.3* Great automation system. Super easy to use and easy to setup. Voice control that actually under swat you are wanting to do. ### 5/5 — Fantastic home automation system *2021-01-21, version 4.1.3* If you’re looking for a privacy-focused voice automation system, there is nothing quite like this on the market today. Contact your local josh.ai dealer and get a demo. This product is amazing! ### 5/5 — Industry Leading *2021-01-21, version 4.1.3* The app experience is one of the best in the integration world. The ease of building your own scenes and high level of end-user customization makes this app incredibly powerful. Paired with the Josh Micro in each room you’ll have an experience that is second to none! ### 5/5 — Amazing Smart Home App *2021-01-21, version 4.1.3* Not only does Josh.ai micros deliver an amazing voice experience the app is by far the most advanced smart home control app. The machine learning and AI that is behind the app, provides proactive engagements and reminders of lights on music playing and TVs on. You will love this app and it even passed my wife/kids test. Very simple to use and easy to navigate to what you want..... oh yeah you can even use the voice on your phone in a room you might not have a micro in. 👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-01-06, version 3.0.8* Best home automation app on the market! ### 5/5 — Freaking awesome *2018-05-24, version 2.0.27* As a professional integrator, I’m not easily impressed by new systems and software very often. The team at Josh air has a real winner on their hands here! ### 5/5 — Great home automation! *2016-10-12, version 1.0* Gorgeous design! I could easily set up different rooms in my home and start using Josh. ### 5/5 — Hands free serenity *2016-10-01, version 1.0* It's so nice to enter a room and be able to turn things on and off with my voice. ### 5/5 — Complex homes, simple control *2016-09-30, version 1.0* Great control interface for sophisticated homes with a lot of connected devices and systems. ### 5/5 — Awesome voice control *2016-09-30, version 1.0* Very smooth speaking to Josh to control my home. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App is down *2025-06-03, version 5.4.22* The app is down ### 2/5 — New Update Not Great *2022-10-12, version 5.0.0* Pretty smooth app overall, had a nice interface. With the most recent app though they moved the buttons near the top of the screen from the bottom. No idea why they would do that cause now you have to reach up with another hand to select the rooms or scenes unless you want to swipe 3-4 times. Just bad app design, it was fine before. ### 3/5 — Is Josh learning from me, or is it teaching me? *2023-09-27, version 5.2.8* I like voice control and automation dealer said it works well with Lutron HomeWorks and Control 4. The dealer didn’t program the levels of the home in accordance with Lutron HW. Josh doesn’t allow the names to be changed. So identifying devices and rooms are not consistent across devices. I have programmed some commands, which is cool and instructs Lutron devices. The bummer is Josh doesn’t consistently communicate the commands. This is especially true with shades controlled. As for music, I find it confusing and even though I have Control 4 and Sonos, I don’t ever do music with Josh. I do like how it works with lighting and levels. ### 4/5 — Love the app, Music control needs work *2022-11-11, version 5.0.0* This is a great app that makes controlling the home easy and intuitive. My only issue with it is controlling music and zones, it is very confusing and unintuitive compared to the likes of Sonos and others. If they improve this part of the interface, it’s a 5 star in my book. ### 5/5 — Josh!!! *2025-07-25, version 5.4.26* We love josh at the cabin ### 5/5 — Home Automation A Tier Above *2025-02-05, version 5.4.15* Me and my family use our Josh.ai system everyday and love it. It enhances how we interact with our home and we are always finding ourselves interacting in new ways. From using the built in chatGPT to being able to create our own customized scenes, Josh is the best control system we have owned. We can’t wait to see how Josh continues to evolve!! ### 5/5 — Incredibly easy to use! *2025-02-04, version 5.4.15* Josh AI is incredibly easy to use. Very intuitive and I love how easy it is to create scenes! ### 5/5 — Simply Natural! *2025-02-03, version 5.4.15* The Josh.ai app is a simple, responsive, and dynamic app for home control. Whether utilizing voice or the easy to use navigation your entire home is at your finger tips. Additionally, the ability to create any scene using simple language is the key to true automation. Other companies simply integrate, Josh.ai is automation for the modern era. ### 5/5 — Best Ever *2025-02-03, version 5.4.15* This app is the best ever. No more messy control systems apps are needed. Very simple to use and looks amazing ### 5/5 — Very easy to use! *2025-02-03, version 5.4.15* This app is so easy to use and not intimidating like other home control apps. Nice job! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2024-06-15, version 5.4.8* Amazing home automation interface. Requires hardware and license for the app to integrate, but such an amazing product. Very happy! ### 5/5 — Love the System *2024-06-14, version 5.4.8* This is the future. Cutting edge tech with elegant looks. I am so happy with my system! ### 5/5 — One of the best Home Control Apps available! *2024-06-14, version 5.4.8* Such an elegant, modern and easy to use interface. Quick access to all things in your home with Voice control and the power of GPT built right in! Users even have the ability to create their own custom scenes directly in the app! A+ win from the Josh team! ### 5/5 — Awesome and initiative app *2024-06-14, version 5.4.8* I have switched from using the Control4 iOS app to Josh.ai for about 7 months. It is far superior from an end user experience. The app is quite flexible, visually stunning and well aligned with their other UI form factors (remotes). The app is readily updated multiple times per month based upon customer feedback and internally driven priorities which is refreshing compared to some others I have used for extensive periods of times and testing. Lastly, the ability to create, test and save scenes in seconds/minutes is a game-changer. This function has made the app and the system in my home much more engaging and pleasing to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
