Achtung: Diese APP ist kein Update! Sie wurde komplett überarbeitet und erlaubt nun die Programmierung der Fernbedienungsseiten am Smartphone oder Tablet. Beim Überschreiben von vorhandenen Vorgängern wird der gesamte Inhalt überschrieben und die geladenen Fernbedienungen gelöscht. Wollen Sie Ihre im a.i.o. Creator erstellten Fernbedienungen weiter verwenden, dürfen Sie kein Update machen! Das neue iWindow ist eine multifunktionale Plattform zur Überwachung und Steuerung von Fenstern und Türen. Mit dieser können Sie: • Fensterzustände (offen, geschlossen und gekippt) überwachen • Fenster-, Rollladen- oder Markisenmotoren steuern • Lichter und Steckdosen schalten • Glasbruch- und Rauchmelder einbinden • Alarmfolgen ablaufen lassen Mit einem einfachen Sprachmodul kann zwangsläufig beim Öffnen der Haustür der Sicherheitszustand des Objektes gemeldet werden. Die Meldung kann akustisch und optisch erfolgen. Das Programmieren der Fernbedienungsseiten ist sehr einfach. Für die verschiedenen Sender oder Empfänger gibt es vordefinierte Kacheln. Diese werden automatisch beim Einlernen einem vorher definierten Raum zugeordnet. Nach dem Öffnen der Kachel werden die Schaltmöglichkeiten gezeigt. In die verschiedenen Räume kommt man per Wischbefehl. Mit der raumunabhängigen Übersicht hat man auf einem Blick den Status seines Objektes. Man erkennt, ob Fenster geöffnet oder gekippt sind, Lampen oder Steckdosen angeschaltet sind, Sender eine Funkstörung haben oder einen Batteriewechsel benötigen. Per VPN-Fernzugang ist die Kontrolle und Steuerung dieses Systems weltweit möglich. Für weitere Informationen besuchen Sie bitte unsere Seite http://www.iwindow.de

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iWindow at 100% against CutList Optimizer's 46%. iWindow also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 14.0). CutList Optimizer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (116 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CutList Optimizer holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CutList Optimizer has 116 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of iWindow's written reviews are positive against 46% of CutList Optimizer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iWindow ships an update every 6 months, CutList Optimizer every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
