### 4/5 — Please update the Apple TV app

*2020-07-04*

Please update the Apple TV app to support sound for the HomeKit Camera. Also disable the screensaver when viewing a camera stream.

### 3/5 — Needs some work

*2017-10-01*

I purchased this to watch our HomeKit baby monitor on our TV while we cook in the kitchen. It doesn’t appear to have audio support, and it seems like after a while I have to close and reopen the camera itself. But the biggest oversight: when viewing a HomeKit camera does not disable the Apple TV screensaver. Which means I can watch my kiddo for two or three minutes before seeing some wonderful sand dunes or a helicopter ride over Hawaii. 

Please disable the screen saver when viewing a camera!

### 5/5 — This app is fantastic.

*2017-09-19*

This is the only app for tvOS that allows you to view your HomeKit camera on your TV. The developers are also very quick to respond with bug requests. 5/5

### 3/5 — Camera Feed TV

*2017-09-11*

The HomeKit camera feed on Apple TV 4 no longer works

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2017-07-06*

Does not work!

### 1/5 — Huh? Beware, No support available??

*2016-11-12*

Everything appeared and connected automatically on my phone but...absolutely no help options and nothing appears via my Apple TV4 app except a message telling me to "use my IPhone or IPad to set up your home pair devices or define scenes". Again everything was automatic on my phone but not recognizing anything on Apple TV4.  Before you buy this know the developer offers zero support ...clicking support just sends you to the developers media links and YouTube Looming page has nothing helpful either.  If this can't be resolved I'd like my $ back.  Boo!!! and 0 stars until then

### 4/5 — Got It Right

*2016-10-26*

I've used most if not all of the HomeKit apps. I think this one is the best. Dead simple, the interface is very well designed, no scrolling through pages and pages, like some of the other apps do.

Excellent app.

### 3/5 — Good but could be better

*2016-10-08*

iPhone app is good but AppleTV doesn't sync favourite scenes with iPhone.

### 4/5 — First app with an AppleTV UI!

*2016-09-21*

Simple app, but its killer feature is scene control on the AppleTV. Very cool!
