HomeScan for HomeKit for Negative User Reviews

✓ Should run on Apple TVSince step one is to place the iPhone running this app next to the HomeKit hub, and a hub is (typically) an Apple TV the app should just run natively on the Apple TV and send it’s data to the iPhone app as the companion. I get you can use the Apple Watch as the companion to the iPhone, but the iPhone’s Bluetooth performance could be different from the actual hub’s Bluetooth performance..-TechRider-Version: 1.0.4

✓ Psychedelic Signal StrengthThe signal strength for every device just jumps around frantically, so this app isn’t useful in any way. All of my HomeKit Bluetooth devices do seem to show up, so that’s something..1947Version: 1.0.4

✓ Not what you wantYou can stand right next to the device and still have poor signal strength reported. I don’t believe the readings at all. As other have noted it just shows every BLE device you have, which is probably way more then you know. Sorting out the HK devices is difficult, but doable. But again, I don’t trust the meter readings at all!.Mark38KVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Can’t really tell which are mineThis app reports several dozen (currently 49) devices (I’m in a condo complex with many neighbors) and it’s really tough to figure out which are the ones that are A) Mine, and B) Of interest. Every device that uses Bluetooth seems to be reported: There’s probably at least several for each person who lives in my building (phones, headphones, laptops, tablets,smart locks window sensors. ) The list doesn’t seem to be sorted by signal strength so the device you are standing right next to likely won’t be at the top of the list. The signal strength numbers fluctuate so rapidly that it’s tough to get a sense of what is going on. The devices often don’t have any names that describe them. Out of 49 devices, 37 of them say “No Name”. The ones that do show names are my iPad, and HomePods, and Apple TV’s. Sometimes they show an unrecognizable alphanumeric which is probably the serial number of some neighbor’s laptop. This might be more useful in a location where there are not many extraneous signals. But for me it’s just a waste of time..AtavachronVersion: 1.1.2

✓ Almost uselessI very seldom if ever write reviews, but honestly fell bad paying $.99 for this app. It shows every Bluetooth device in all the houses around me with now way to distinguish which are mine! There is now method of sorting other than HomeKit or all. The problem is you as a user have to tell it which devices are HomeKit devices... Useless! If they had some way to sort signal strength that would be a huge improvement. At least you could get a better idea of what device is what by moving around your house... Save your money and buy a pack of gum, you’ll get more enjoyment!.JimmyVrodVersion: 1.1.2

✓ Doesn’t appear accurate!I have multiple Elgato Eve devices throughout the home. Some are 4 feet away from hub (ATV 4K) whilst others are on a different floor and even outside. This app reports all devices between a weak/bad connection with a reading between -76 to -92. I’d expect a strong signal for those within 4 feet of hub!!?.AtterKingVersion: 1.0.2

✓ GarbageThis app is absolute garbage! If I could get my $0.99 I would. Every HomeKit device says unknown except for two, my smoke alarms. It would be helpful if it would tell you the MAC address, Bluetooth address or something to help identify the object and properly label them. Do waste your time or your money on this app..StevezieVersion: 1.1.3

✓ No way to identify devicesDisappointed. I have lots of smart home devices and this app lists some of them, not all, and most have unidentifiable names with no way to identify them. Not very useful..CaseycvVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Misleading....................Why?.DaslyfauxVersion: 1.0.4

✓ Unfortunately UselessThe only Bluetooth device it picks up is my iMac. Even for a dollar, it’s a waste of money..Jonro2242Version: 1.0

✓ Doesn’t work!Shows all devices, nothing meaningful here..SuniltanejaVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Good concept (?) useless executionWhat use is it when there’s no way to identify nearly any device; nor does it limit it to my devices - and my network is *definitely* secured against anything that isn’t mine connecting. Make this app make sense; be user friendly; have some use… I really do like some of your apps a lot, so clearly you know what your doing. I’m also IT-literate, but the app description & the actual app —> absolutely unrelated. I actually purchased the 4 app bundle (which this app is contained in); of the 4 apps: 2 I find actually innovative, user friendly (ish), and super-useful (as I’ve yet to find anything analogous that’s as well designed - aesthetically and practically - and has cross-device comparability (iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch); the 3rd app in the bundle I’m fairly indifferent to (as, how many “replacements” for Apple’s native Home app are really needed). And I don’t regret purchasing the bundle, as even with only 2 of the apps being to my standards it’s still worth it price wise. So, thank you, for actually following a good-business pricing practice and not doing monthly subscriptions b/c that’s just evil. But please, please: whatever you were attempting to do with *this* particular app —— [“if you don’t have something constructive to say, don’t” which I’m following here] —— but please bring whatever this is supposed to be to your usual good-standards. It promises so much, and delivers only bafflement, confusion, and (inaccurate) doubt in my linguistic comprehension skills… (and that’s a mean thing to do to actual linguists ^_^*) —> description should match the product. Also, it confuses me why some of your apps are amazing and some are … well ___ [not]..DahliaesqueVersion: 1.1.2
