Super customizable!

I just came across this app for designing my Apple Home controls using an iPad. While they include a TON of pre-made controls and buttons, I absolutely love how much control you have to create a completely unique design by easily importing your own custom button and background images. They also support importing .gif files which allowed me to create some cool animations for the panel. They have been very quick to respond to any issues I had.

My only wish is that they update the app to include custom button click sound effect controls.

Seems to have abandoned this app. Don’t purchase.

Good app with tons of potential. Zero support. It appears that the developer has abandoned this app but happy to continue to take your money. No support contact on the website. I reach out to the developer via their FB page and have heard nothing back. It is a good app, but I think the longevity of it is limited. Expect a future update on to HomeKit will break something and the developer won’t fix it. New home automation products will likely not work either. I wish someone had written this review before I purchased. Buyer beware.

Import von Szenen aus der Home App funktionieren leider nicht

Ich hatte es mir einfach vorgestellt: Ein Button startet eine Szene, die in der Home App erstellt wurde.

Great for people with some skills

This is not an entry level app, and it's not perfect. But this is the closest thing to a customizable home console app for homekit I could find, and it's pretty amazing. I've had an iPad pro displaying a "home console" designed with Viz Designer on my entry wall for the past 6 months. Techy friends are impressed with it and I love showing them what it can do. While I had some trouble getting it up and running, it's been working near perfectly 24/7 for the past 6 months.

Great app, one minor issue though

I put my iPad into guided access. Works well no issues until the last update. Over night, the app appears to crash. No reason why. Attempted to reinstall it and it’s still crashing in the middle of the night. Ruled out guided access as the culprit by testing another app.
