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.
Needs HomeKit thermostats
Does not appear to support HomeKit thermostats
Love it!
I've been neck-deep in this app for the past two days creating a smart home console for my wall-mounted iPad.
Endlich!
Ich benutze die Produkte von Mediola schon eine ganze Weile. Sehr begeistert bin ich über diese App, mit der man tolle Displays für iPads, die an eine Wand montiert sind, erstellen kann. Und: der Support ist fantastisch! Vielen Dank, mediola
Poor design and no updates
Very buggy and the integration is very clunky! I would say they need to update the user interface and be able to use full home templates! And the documentation is very poorly written!
Needs Improvment
The idea and the design aspect is good but I am having issue controlling some of my Philips hue light bulbs. The strange thing is the execute command is able to toggle some of my hue light bulbs but not others of the exact same type. The app was able to discover all lights but it is not able to control all. Also, the app is able to display the status of my Lutron dimmers but again the toggle command doesn’t work.

Password Issues
unable to login the macOS app or the iPad app. Resetting the password for one prevents the other one from working.
Platz nach oben
Die Idee ist super. Die App bietet viele Möglichkeiten zum Customising. Allerdings fehlt noch die wichtige Möglichkeit, wirklich alle Merkmale/Characterics von Geräten auszulesen und darzustellen, die über HomeKit kommuniziert werden, z.B. für einen Smart-Socket der derzeitige Stromverbrauch oder der Batterie Status eines Gerätes. Die anderen beiden Sterne gibt es, wenn das o.g. umgesetzt wurde 😉
Anscheinend wird die App aber nicht weiter entwickelt. Schade.

Kein Service, keine Kompatibilität, buggy
EVE Fenstersensoren werden überhaupt nicht unterstützt, auf gemeldete Bugs mit der Bitte um Hilfe/Support wird nicht reagiert, trotz erneuter Nachfrage.
Für diesen Preis ein absolutes No Go - hier wird den Kunden das Geld aus der Tasche gezogen und nicht geliefert.

Waste of money
Major lack of support and useless product
Wirklich, wirklich GUT!
Ich wollte ein Dashboard fürs Haus „Climate“ haben - inklusive die Außen- Temp & Feuchtigkeit.
Habe mehrere Apps probiert…
KEINE, absolut keine ist in der Lage wirklich eine gute und schöne Übersicht darzustellen…
(Ich nutze ein altes iPhone 6S dafür)
Und dann: VIZ Designer probiert!
Es ist sooooo einfach ein Dashboard damit zu erstellen! Und es ist mächtig, flexibel, schnell…
Dad Ergebnis ist wunderschön, genau was ich suchte, die Frau ist super Happy („warum hast du dies nicht früher gemacht? 😌)
Ich bin begeistert und empfehle es absolut uneingeschränkt!

Terrible Support
This app has huge potential but owners have no interest in providing any support at all. I have several issues with the app and have been trying to get support. They come back with one line responses. After several more support request approx 4, they have now agreed to look at the log files to check what was happening. This was almost 6 weeks ago now and even after several attempts to find a solution I have been completely ignored. All I can say is if you are not willing to support the app for actually paying customers then take it down.

Liked it at first, starting to have issues
Ok, I have contacted the makers of this app several times on Facebook and have received responses although they have been slow to respond. Now I am having issues where I have remotes created for my iPhone and my iPad. The exact assignments for each and every device are programmed into the different remotes, yet I am having inconsistent results. Some devices work on the iPhone but do not work on the iPad and vice versa. This is crazy. I have changed names thinking that MAYBE it’s a cache issue. Who knows. I have asked the makers to allow the end user to clear the cache on their servers, but I haven’t received an answer to that question. If not for these issues, this would be a 5 star app. I even offered to help troubleshoot with logs, or whatever they need, but NO RESPONSE.

Tons of potential
Can’t really explain enough, but everything is by far the best and somewhat easiest way to get a home dashboard exactly the way you want it. Small learning curve with the PC Application, however when you take the time to get to know how everything works this is some solid stuff.
With that said there’s a reason why I can’t give it the full 5 stars just yet. Seems as if development has either slowed or seized completely as there hasn’t been any improvements or bug fixes don’t to the applications. After spending hours creating my perfect dashboard it troubles me to say I won’t be able to utilize it unless device status can update stably. I’ve reported the issue multiple times to the dev team hoping for some sort of good outcome since no one else comes close to their level of ease when creating your dashboard.
More info on the issue if the development team sees this review. I have icons on my home page of the dashboard that will change color depending if a device is on or off. The icon will change and update to the appropriate color 100% of the time when the device is told to turn on or off through the dashboard itself. However, if the device is toggled physically through a light switch or other physical means the status doesn’t update constantly. With my luck it only updates and works for a short time if I close the application, open the home app on the iPad, and reopen the Viz Designer application. At that point it will update the status of the device even when the device is physically switched on or off with a light switch. But give it a few minutes of the dashboard just sitting there ‘idle’ or when the iPad itself locks, the issue will rise again.

Wall Mounted iPad HomeKit Looks Great
It is a little expensive…but I really like the fact that I am able to make my wall mounted iPad look almost exactly how I want. I do wish that a few more themes were available to download and REALLY wish air quality was an option along with the temperature and humidity. It was a little hard to figure out in the beginning (I.E. true and false values rather than some kind of easier drop down), but anyone who wants to use their iPads as a HomeKit admin is sure to figure it out like I did - the YouTube videos are helpful.
Only things I’d necessarily ask:
Are their any ways to download more themes?
Can you add air quality sensor compatibility?
Any way to have outdoor weather added?
I really like the app. It is very quick and looks nice!

Response from developer
Hello Jimmy45312, thank you for your review! 1. More themes: we will work on more themes. 2. Air quality sensor: Currently not planned. What device/model exactly is this about? 3. Outdoor weather: Using the webpage element you can include web-based weather widgets. If you have further questions you can also contact our support team - they will be happy to help you. You can find our support on our homepage. :)
Sehr cool! klare Empfehlung!
Echt coole Alternative als Ergänzung zur Home App mit vielen Möglichkeiten im Design! Der Preis lohnt sich für das was man bekommt…
