### 1/5 — Crashes on Startup

*2020-12-15*

This literally does not work on AppleTV 4th generation running tvOS 14.2.

It simply crashes on startup!

Edit: since I paid for it, I installed on my iPad.... this actually launched and let me do quick config. I can see devices, with odd duplicates. I can turn the on/off fro iPad (which I could already do from both Apple Home.app and Bellini Wemo.app)... crashed a bunch of times... now not turning anything on/off. What a mess.

Now that I configured on iPad, appleTV app launches and shows devices... hangs or crashes when trying to turn devices on/off. 

#TotalFail

Waste of $1.99

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-10-13*

I think it’s just spam

**Developer response:** What is spam? Can you please explain. If you are having technical issues please don’t hesitate to contact support so we can help you out.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2019-10-12*

I purchased the WSwitch app which prevented me from moving away from Wemo and Belkin hardware. With WSwitch one person has achieved what an entire large company could not: a reliable useful app that controls switches without long delays or frequent crashes. For a short while (after OS 13 was introduced) WSwitch stopped working. While waiting for it to be fixed I bought MasterSwitch and was sorry i did. Very much like the Wemo app MasterSwitch takes a long time to load and connect with devices. It also is so slow that it’s frustrating to use. The look of the interface IS attractive however. It is also easy to set up. I suggest that anyone unhappy with the Wemo app buy WSwitch and not MasterSwitch.

### 1/5 — Very slow and not many options

*2019-02-10*

Takes forever to find my smart devices and to do a simple on or off, you have to go into the device and then turn on or off. Sorry can’t recomended it.

### 5/5 — Easy to setup

*2018-07-25*

I got this for my watch. It found my lights easily and I was able to control my lights within a couple of minutes. Very impressed so far. Hopefully devs continue to support.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2018-01-21*

Just downloaded - can’t do anything with it. Don’t waste your money!

**Developer response:** Did you get a chance to update to the latest version of the app? Many bugs have been fixed. If so and your issues have been resolved please update your review. If you are still having an issue with the app please contact support at http://PepperDogSoft.com.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2017-12-13*

Very good app 👏👏👏 the widget screen is amazing

### 3/5 — Great Idea but only partially useful

*2017-07-30*

This app would be great if it could tie together all WeMo, hue & HomeKit devices into one screen for complete control. It ALMOST does this with the exception of some glaring omissions the Honeywell Lyric thermostat being one. Please add thermostat devices along with other HomeKit device types if possible!

### 5/5 — This app is the answer to WEMO and Hue devices working together!

*2017-06-04*

Best solution I have found for controlling WEMO plugs with Phillips Hue bulbs!

The app detected all devices and connected to the Phillips Hue bridge immediately, automatically, and with no issues encountered. 

Setting up the buttons had a learning curve, but only because the there are so many customization options.

This app and developer succeeds where Belkin and the WEMO app fail.

### 5/5 — Perfect Wemo Control

*2017-02-06*

This app makes sense of wemo devices by enabling the ability to create a a single screen of dynamic buttons to control your house.
