Buggy

I really want to like this app. It does everything I need, but it becomes unresponsive, it freezes, and some settings just can’t be changed (like the time it takes between repeating the shortcut. The app just reverts back to 3 minutes after glitching out.) Really unfortunate as others have said because the concept here is fantastic. Just poor development.

crashes

looks nice but it just crashes when you click a device

Great app!

Something that Apple should make part of their home app

Good

Very good

Simples e genial

Simplesmente funciona.

Does not do what it advertised

In the app add it showed you could create a signal based on a text message from your spouse. Nowhere in the app is this possible on an iPhone. Only Siri commands. It also did not recognize all of my HomeKit lights.

I got robbed.

You cannot link signal into home or personal automation.

Inconsistent & Unreliable

I *really* wanted to like this app, and to be able to use it with the enthusiasm and confidence that other users seem to (at least, at the time). But unfortunately, whatever magic this app may have had at one time, that time has since passed; rarely—if ever—does it successfully execute the assigned changes, and although there are workarounds to restoring Adaptive Lighting upon completion, these are likewise unreliable with inconsistent results.

You’re invited to make the your Signal “more meaningful” by setting the lights to a specific state/brightness when it‘s finished—yet just trying to apply the same brightness/color across all the lights used is made incredibly tedious since both of these systems are so uninformative.

It’s an app with a *lot* of potential; maybe the Mac version—which supposedly offers more features and functionality—provides a better experience? But as things stand, I definitely wouldn’t have spent money on it if I’d known this would be the outcome.

Version gratuite frustrante

La version gratuite est tellement limitée qu'il est difficile de se faire un opnion sur la version payante.

Dobrý nápad, ale skončil v půli cesty

Možnost upozornit na události v HomeKitu je skvělý nápad, který bohužel Apple neměl. Ale bohužel načítají se jen některá zařízení a ani po zakoupení plné verze je funkčnost VELMI omezená.

Always strobes in a startling way

I really want to like this app, but I’ve bounced off it for a somewhat fussy reason. Imagine I have my lights at 25% white, and a strobe effect set for 80% blue. On most lights, colored light is much dimmer than white light. The way this app works, when the strobe kicks in, it will bring the lights up to 80% white first, then switch them to blue. This always creates a huge and startling flash in my house. I want to use the lights kind of like the visual equivalent of a chime, not a fire alarm. The app is a neat idea, but there’s no use case I can think of that is worth the panic/stress it induces.

Very useful

I find this is a very useful app, as I’m diabetic and I can be signalled when it’s time to take my insulin.

Not impressed

When I want to flash my lightbulbs in the livingroom, only 2 or 3 of the 14 lamps actually flash.
Definitely not worth the money. Even if it was totally free i would uninstall it. 2 stars for doing the effort

Pas très utile

J’aurais aimé qu’il crée des scène dans l’app domicile mais ce n’est pas le cas.

Big Letdown!

I purchased Signals for my iPhone because the splash screen claimed it works with automations. I expected to pulse my lights for doorbell notifications or flash lights for open doors. However, the app doesn't automate anything via the phone. I tried to get a refund from Apple twice but was denied. Now, the developer has $5, and I have an app that does nothing. Despite the app store description and splash screen, the developer denies supporting automations. They suggested using the Mac version, but that requires an additional $3.99 to unlock automations.

Not for me.

Signal claims to work with automations, but it doesn’t. I have no use for this application. I tried to get refund but was denied twice. I basically gave the developer a free 5 bucks.

Response from developer

Hi KXNG DAVID, Signals can be used with some Shortcuts automations on iOS, but the Signals Automate feature you’re likely talking about is a Mac-only feature, because providing this advanced capability is impossible on any other platform. The app makes no claim to supporting this feature in the app or in the marketing material, but I’m sorry about this misunderstanding. I’m not sure where you were debited for a refund - I have zero control over this, but I’ve never heard of Apple rejecting these, unless it perhaps the request was too late. I’m happy to point you in the right direction - you can submit for a return here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084

The point of the free app?

Whats the point of the free version if all it seem to do is what the HomeKit can do or less.

needs lots of improvements

Great Idea but is not very reliable. Needs lots of improvements. Some shortcuts won't run, others will. The shortcut list won't refresh, among others...

Worth it

Not cheap for what its offering but still really good
