Do something better with your dollar. I just got a new light hoping to actually use it, but no, it is COMPLETELY USELESS. Do not get this app. All it says is ”no home found” I wish you could actually sync it with HomeKit. I have an old phone that I got this app with and used iCloud to download on my watch (not able to set up the watch because it’s old so not possible). I would love to see a way to sync with iCloud somehow if it works then I would like to leave a 5-star but sorry. How I found this was through a post on Reddit which wasn’t the best idea but I’m kinda desperate. If you know anything that will work that I would like to know. But for now this app has zero functionality for what it was advertised. That would be a great help. Thanks. Please fix this issue. ### 1/5 — App Stopped Working *2024-02-03* Doesn’t work on my newest watch (Series 9). Worked on my SE ### 2/5 — No watchface complications *2024-01-16* This would be the perfect app if I did not have to fumble around deep into the watch app list searching for it. There needs to be a watchface complications available so that it can be easily accessible. When I'm ready to activate my good morning scene without using SIRI, It's almost impossible with a foggy mind to search through an entire watch just to find it. Is it coming??? I have contacted the creator once before and received ZERO feedback. ### 4/5 — great but custom icons not working *2023-05-20* this app is really great but custom icons in complications are not working. i only have the app icon. so it’s not easy to select the right scene ### 1/5 — Pieniądze pobrano ale aplikacja się nie pobrała. Lipa *2023-04-03, version 1.6* Lipa. Po zakupie aplikacja nie pobrała się. ### 1/5 — Complication icons not working *2022-10-16* Would love it if it worked. Complication icons not working on newest watch. This will be a 5 start app when it works. ### 1/5 — Crap *2022-09-30, version 1.5* Don't waste your money ### 4/5 — Missing features *2022-07-24, version 1.5* Please add a way to combine lights into one, like in home app. Also there is no way to turn on and off the ac. Only temperature can be changed. ### 3/5 — No iCloud sync? 👎🏻 *2021-11-06, version 1.4* I love this app and it deserves 5 stars, but when I changed my watch to a newer one the app reset. All the shortcuts created in it were gone. When I changed phones a few days ago the situation repeated itself. All other apps worked fine, but WristControll deleted the saved shortcuts. Too bad. ### 5/5 — Excellent App. Intuitive Design. *2021-10-06* This is the App Apple Watch Should Have Shipped With ## Frequently asked questions about WristControl for HomeKit ### What does WristControl for HomeKit do?
