Great app!

Excellent app! Works really well till it decides to auth you on low speed LTE connection. What!!!?? Really!!??? That’s the reason for the single star. I will change this to 5 star as soon as they change that

Great, but Apple TV needs love

I love that this works on Apple TV. Seriously, it is fantastic. Well, not fantastic, as after the recent update all of my nodes were automatically turned off. This is a big problem when the Apple TV Is at a remote location.
