User reviews

Is now totally in operable, and probably has been for months

This app does not work at all. It will not control your computer or offer a single productive use. Don’t download it.

Does Not Work as Advertised

The app simply does not work as advertised, and after I contacted the developer 6 times, I have realized that not only does it not work, but you can count on being ignored by the developer if you request help.

In my opinion, an app that is not supported by it’s developer has no place on the App Store. I will be reporting this developer to Apple.

App simply will not work

This app seemed to be the solution to my problems but no. Despite having to physically add the add in accessibility myself and adding the iOS app this doesnt work. My homepods think its worked and carry out the shortcut but it doesnt do anything to my mac. Very poor information and clarity when installing. Waste of money!!!

It mostly works... mostly...

This seems like a great app, and it could be, but there are some issues...

It generally connects right up, but I wish the connection settings were accessible. Small complaint, but running this one two Macs is an instant headache.

Remote actions. About half of the advertised features work. AppleScript is, notably, not among the functional features.

Still Intel based. This is nitpicky sure, but it's the only non-Silicon app on my M1 MBP and I have to think that contributes to the instability of the app (it sometimes just silently crashes for seemingly no reason).

This app is a good idea but the exicusion isn't fantastic. Perhaps the next version will be better....

Hardly works

I looked at this app because Siri on the HomePod doesn't invoke my Mac for shortcuts, and I really wanted a way to invoke them on my mac from other devices. I got this app after seeing that it supports running AppleScript remotely, thinking I could just write an AppleScript command to invoke the shortcut as a worst-case scenario. I ended up finding out that shortcut actions often get lost and never fire, and for AppleScript specifically, *never* works, even when verifying it comes in on the history. Trying the exact same script in the script editor and osascript terminal command works fine, but through this app, it doesn't do anything. I'd rather make my own implementation that always works than use one that might or might not.
