HomePass for HomeKit & Matter for Negative User Reviews

✓ Doesn’t do a lotYou have to find the Homekit codes yourself. Good luck if you thrown the piece of paper or documentation away. And it is impossible to find Philips Hue bulb Homekit codes as they don’t exist..FarmMan50Version: 1.7.3

✓ Doesn’t read the codes you have to enter themWaste of time.NnnnnnnnnnnnnnntVersion: 1.9.16

✓ Getting thereI was so excited to see in lates release more options for type of accessory, but still no Dimmer. Also, I have so many dimmers and switches, why does it use the name I gave it in HomeKit so I can tell them apart? Finally, my Ecobee thermostat assigns a new 8 digit pairing code each time, so what the point of saving it here?.NeighbourdaveVersion: 1.0.4

✓ Scanner is 80% accurateI had to double check and rescan 20% of my codes to ensure they were recorded properly. In some cases the app detected a non-numeric character and lacked the error checking to automatically ask to rescan the code..-TechRider-Version: 1.3.1

✓ Appears useless to me>We've detected a HomeKit bridge, some accessories you expect to see, may be hidden as bridged accessories do not have unique setup codes. Nothing else I seem to be able to do with this app other than manually add my Phillips Hue Bridge..Jasonh1234Version: 1.9.16

✓ Diagnostic Logs?Getting a lot diagnostic logs for no reason whatsoever. They’re all full of (null). What’s going on? Yes, I just updated it today, October 24, 2020.Retro-Classic-RoverVersion: 1.8.1

✓ Works well, but no longerThis was working fine on Catalina, but at some stage it was updated and no longer works (requires mac os 11) Disappointed that my working version went away. ----- Update: developer says it never worked on Catalina, so they know what they are talking about. I did have it installed on my Catalina only operating system, so I don't uderstand how it would have been in my Applications folder it if wasn't compatible..ColBatGuanoVersion: 1.9.13

✓ Useless for bridged accessoriesIf you use Phillips Hue or another bridge, don’t purchase this app. I wish I knew before paying! I only have one accessory not bridged!.RawbearVersion: 1.1.8

✓ Erased my dataThis works as advertised except beware you might loose precious data. I had manually typed in the MAC address for all 50 of my homekit accessories into my iPad, only to find out when I downloaded the Mac version that it didn't sync accross properly and actually deleted all of the custom fields. The pdf "backup" doesn't include the MAC address. Also there is no support from the company so my only outlet is through this review..Zozo, MDVersion: 1.9.11

✓ Lack of support.I purchased the application on my iPad. It doesn’t work. Crashes when you try to open it. Had to download it on my iPhone. It worked there. I contacted the developer. As of today-no response. I requested a refund..Mg.888Version: 1.9.14

✓ Free template you can use NotesYou could do everything that does in notes.ShaadoeVersion: 1.6.3

✓ What a waste of moneyThe application will not even start. This should be removed from the App store and refunds issues..TechNC01Version: 1.9.13

✓ Not quite what I was hoping forI realized (after purchasing) that HomeKit codes have to added manually. This somewhat defeats my purpose for getting the app. I could’ve used a spread sheet to accomplish similar results. I can see the developer has put a lot of time into this, as it’s a polished app, but might I suggest a few additions: Sorting - right now, it seems to be by alphabetical only. Grouping - everything is on one page. I have a ton of HomeKit devices and having a flat layout does present a challenge Better scanning - As another review mentioned, I have to verify each HomeKit code, as the app scanner is not 100% accurate.Diw4321Version: 1.6

✓ Limited functionalityNot sure I ever used to set up device that needed resetting. I can see the HomeKit code but I still need to scan it with phone rather than using this app with copy/paste. Perhaps I am using it incorrectly. As well I can’t figure out how to add another Home or how to change the room identification in edit. Seems to randomly leave the field blank or add something like ‘default room’ rather than actual room - and can’t change this. Frustrating. I still have on my iPhone but this app is gathering dust..JevFamVersion: 1.4.2

✓ Export Function on Mac no longer works (on Ventura)One of the most valuable features of the app is currently disabled, at least for MacOS Ventura. The Export Function is Greyed Out in the Menu Bar. I always used this to output a current PDF file of scannable Homekit QR Codes. Rather than keeping track of all the scraps of papper, labels, attached to cardboard boxes, etc, I could always refer back to my PDF files, if / when I made any major changes to my home automation system. Now, this major feature is gone, and unless it is restored, I'm back to rriting down codes or copying everything over to a spreadsheet..WulfemanVersion: 1.9.14

✓ Thanks for the replyI don’t appreciate being called dishonest. Your website has no mechanism for contacting support like one would expect. So I was frustrated for a half hour searching for a way to contact support. I later found a link through the app. So yes, I am frustrated about that. I have since reproduced the bug again. The Mac app is very buggy. If I try to edit an entry it frequently force quits or doesn’t allow the edit. This app has a lot of potential, it’s just not ready for me to be able to entrust it with data that isn’t backed up somewhere else. Maybe if I just go back to using it on the iPad or iPhone it will be fine..Zozo, MDVersion: 1.9.11

✓ Dropped from 5 to 2 to 1 starWas 5 as I was impressed. Then when find Homekit devices don’t show up to add I dropped it to 2. Then tried to contact the developer for support only to find support links to their marketing page, dropped to 1 star..MTShippVersion: 1.8.1

✓ Great GUI for, effectively, a free Notes entry.It does what it says, though I felt led to believe that was something else: specifically, it doesn’t auto-import codes from your existing HK setup, leaving you to manually enter them all from scratch (just as you’d have to do in a Notes app note). I paid the $3 to avoid this time-consuming task, and though I now understand that’s impossible to do (HK doesn’t store them, apparently) the sting of throwing money at a solution I could’ve had for free via Notes is still there. Three stars for being what it said it is. -2 for not making what it’s *not* more clear. It’s a great solution if you’re willing to put in the work..Firefly IWVersion: 1.4

✓ OK, but overpriced.£0.99 would be a fair price for this app, given its very limited functionality..KerenhappuchVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Was not able to add existing accessoriesUseless.Wesam KhalfallaVersion: 1.0.2
