IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PAIR the apple HomePod with the apple iPad ### 1/5 — GET RID OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2025-04-26* I get this because I need for my HomePod. Guess what I can only do one command per day.!!!! Everything has to be paid. There’s always a bunch of ads. Get rid of it. I thought it was good at first please pay please pay please pay. I’m gonna say it again get rid of the app. It’s just gonna get more people completely bankrupt. ### 1/5 — Music play *2024-11-06, version 2.0* Can’t get music to play after paying lifetime rate! ### 1/5 — HomePod *2024-09-02, version 2.0* Compared with Google mini pod the HomePod Is difficult to get what you want and is not nearly as intuitive - very disappointed especially as it is double the retail cost Lex ### 1/5 — Home Pod *2024-05-24* How do I get my home pod to work or. Play my Apple Music? We bought this I pod a couple years ago but never used it and now I can’t get it to work?? ### 1/5 — Home Pod fails to find music in my IPhone library *2024-04-01* Trying to play music from my iTunes library, fails. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2023-09-24* Upon reading the reviews as I was downloading the app I decided not to go forward with purchasing this app. I know some apps will automatically charge an account after a trial period unless you specify otherwise though I did not see where to decline so I decided to write it in an email. To my surprise, even their support email address came back undeliverable due to not existing. ### 1/5 — Apple HomePod *2023-09-21* I hate this product!! I ask it to play my favorite station or artist and all I get is it’s not in my library. This device is useless! I have the Google nest and it will play anything I ask it to play. Google is discontinuing the best so I thought I would get the HomePod. I thought it would be just like the Goggle nest. It is nothing like Goggle best. I don’t even know what the home pod is supposed to do. ### 1/5 — This is about Siri *2023-09-14* We have all Apple products—Siri is the worst, almost useless. Connecting it to Home Pod makes Siri worse. I’m fairly tech-savvy and for years I’ve tried asking Siri for information. Almost never works. Siri can’t seem to do anything. I don’t have the same issues with Alexa. I want to throw Home Pod in the garbage. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-05-16, version 2.0* App is terrible HomePod mini is terrible ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — King *2023-04-17* Manish ### 5/5 — Home pod mini *2023-03-16* Do you have to keep pressing the power button to say something ### 5/5 — Zepha *2022-05-18, version 2.0* Zep ### 5/5 — Mr *2021-08-14, version 2.0* Mono ### 5/5 — It would be better if Siri understood portugues! *2019-09-20* Pretty good. ### 4/5 — Good *2025-01-23* Very easy to connect it turned on in the car ### 4/5 — Big *2022-06-12, version 2.0* Very cool thanks ### 4/5 — HomePod *2020-12-14, version 2.0* I can’t get it to work ### 4/5 — App will not work *2020-10-07* I have not been to get my HomePod to work for a long time, it’s been totally frustrating...Please help!!! ### 3/5 — Rob *2024-11-14, version 2.0* Good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
