Wallflower for HomeKit for Negative User Reviews

✓ Interesting startA good start. I wanted it for my living room but it doesn’t support TV’s yet. Shame I had 2 waste a 2 week trial just to find that out😞 Still has promise and I’ll look again when it supports TV’s.Siobhan EllisVersion: 1.1.2

✓ Slow, clumsy, over-pricedYes, my old iPad is slow, but there is no reason an app like this should stop drawing the clock and become totally unresponsive for minutes at a time. It crashes frequently. At free it is worth uninstalling. I feel sorry for anyone who paid for it..CloudkucoolandVersion: 1.2

✓ Needs an update - where is 2.0?This app is very minimal and sleek and offers a simple way to control a single room. I purchased with the hope that 2.0 would be released with features to control a whole home (or at least multiple rooms) and it is nowhere to be found. Last update was over a year ago. Their website points to a Medium article from 2019. I think this app may be dead in the development cycle. For what it currently is - a large clock with toggles for the HomeKit devices placed in the room you designate - it works. For a wall mounted solution - it’s so so..TheRealDappenVersion: 1.2

✓ Great concept but execution isn’t quite rightI love the concept for this app, but theres a few issues I have. 1) the visual design isn’t very “apple” and doesn’t gel with my mostly modern house aesthetic 2) the clock takes up so much space 3) dev could draw some inspiration from other apps like Fuse and Homedash here.Gball and clubVersion: 1.2

✓ RidiculousForcing someone to pay 48$ for an app that comparable to others for far less is ridiculous. It's a little better then himekit and runs 24hr..CwavigVersion: 1.0

✓ Demands a subscriptionThis is an app that I would have given a one-time payment for, but they’re demanding you pay a subscription..Wolfsbane19Version: 1.0

✓ Good app with some big missesThe Good: This app is aesthetically very pleasing. Most of the HomeKit “skin” apps focus on cramming as much functionality as they can onto the main page at the cost of how good the app looks. These developers realize that an always-on wall controller needs to look good in your home; they put only relevant information on the screen and do it in such a way that you don’t mind having the app as a part of your decor. I also really like that you can customize what is available on the screens, allowing you to sort by “floor” rather than just rooms. For people with more open-concept homes, where there is little delineation between rooms, it is great to be able to control multiple rooms from a single screen. In my case, having the living, dining and kitchen all in one place makes the app much more usable than the standard HomeKit interface. The Bad: To get this out of the way - yes, the app charges a subscription for use. While I certainly would have preferred that this be a one time purchase, I get why they need to have a recurring revenue model to make updates. That said, the update cadence is not commensurate with the subscription model. Two minor functionality updates in five months is not what I expect when I pay a subscription; I expect the app to have new things added on at least a monthly basis - new functionality, new skins, new icons, etc. I’m happy to pay $4/mo for the app, but it just doesn’t feel like I’m getting $4/mo worth of value . There are also some major functionality gaps right now. I can’t control my alarm system from the app at all, nor can I see any of the video feeds from my HomeKit cameras. While I like the clock and time graph features, I feel that an app like this should allow me to quickly reference other relevant HomeKit information - like my camera feeds. All in all, I think this app has great potential, but it is still a few upgrades away from really feeling like a $50 app, much less an app that warrants the (relatively) high subscription costs. A much faster update cadence, along with a focus on other key functions of a robust HomeKit enabled home, would push this review up..Ansuz07Version: 1.1.2

✓ Way to expensive !The free version is limited to 14 days and is otherwise also limited. To get the fully functional version you need to pay 5.25CAD$ per month ! That is as expensive as a subscription to the New York Times. Even VMware fusion charges about 30$ a year for updates. And this app does not even come close to the complexity of VMware... Installed, saw the price and the limitations of the free version, uninstalled. My 2c; If you want your otherwise nice app to be successful, offer a one time buy in reasonably priced. And like everyone else, make the paying updates worthwhile..MachinChoseVersion: 1.1.2

✓ Updates?It’s been well over a year since you updated. Your monthly subscription and or 65 dollar purchase does not hold value. At best it’s a $10 one time payment app. Please either update or change your price structure..ORoBoToVersion: 1.2
