Home+ 6 for Negative User Reviews
✓ Dark Mode... my whole phone?Would expect dark mode to be in the app only not require me to switch my whole phone into smart invert..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Okay appDoesn’t work with AppleTV or HomePod. Wish I knew before buying There is a delay of ~1-2sec to bring up device status. (Ie compared to Home app). Makes it slightly easier to organise things if you have lots of devices. Would assess if you really need it over and above what Home App rather than just pretty icon/ colours..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Does not support Apple TV or AirplayReally disappointed. I have a lot of automations and scenes that include playing music and was looking forward to tinkering with these more. I was particularly looking forward to finally being able to sort all my automations into folders. Paid for and downloaded the app only to find that it does not support Apple TV or any of my airplay devices so practically no benefit in me having this app over the normal Home app. Why was this not clear from the off?! Surely if you don’t support some major HomeKit devices (one of which is even a hub) you should say up front?.Version: 5.1.1
✓ Missing SimplicityI got the app due to the rating. That was a mistake. I appreciate the developers effort to improve on the native home app. While more is possible in this app the app seems to be missing simple screens that show one room at the time. I have IOS devices in every room and don’t want to scroll through a list of devices that are not relevant to me because of where I am. Can’t hide devices. Can’t decide what to show on a ‘front page’. Selecting functions of a device is harder than in the native app but it’s good that more functions are available. (Sonos controls are expanded vs Apple Home/Homebridge). I think a good UI developer should go at it. Lots of potential hidden in a current clunky interface..Version: 4.2.6
✓ Doesn’t actually support widgets.I bought this because it says in the App Store description and preview that you can use it as a widget and I also thought you could monitor sensors with watch complications. After trying to figure out how to add a widget for it I went to the support site and it says it’s not supported. I know HomeKit is constantly changing but the app page is misleading. On the good end, it’s a well designed app and easy to use. I was delighted when reading the privacy policy, supporting developers who don’t gather your data is great and makes it worth the purchase. I just wish it did everything it said it would..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Helpful But Duplication Feature Is LimitedI downloaded the app after realising that I’d have to duplicate the default Hue scene’s in order to apply them to separate rooms. But unfortunately when you duplicate a scene, the original scene’s settings aren’t applied to the accessories that you add to the copy of the scene. That means that you have to recreate the scene for every accessory that you add to the copy of the scene. Which is made much harder by the fact that you have to find the right colour & colour hue on a wheel, rather than being able to type those values in. Still, at least the app gives you visibility of what those values are so made this process easier vs using the Home or Hue apps..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Great app but...…lack of decent icon options holds it back. Please add more icons for devices and scenes. Also, when using a widget it doesn’t use the icons you’ve set for the scenes and just uses generic house icon which is confusing when you have a few scenes with similar names..Version: 6.2.0
✓ Potentially powerful, hard to useThis app provides useful automation tools, and has visual polish, but the baffling decision to lay out each individual button from any dimmer switch (or other switch) renders the app almost impossible to use. If you have a switch for most rooms, and a bunch of lights, the app presents an undifferentiated mass of icons - and the text display for each is so short you can’t tell what any button does. It’s completely bonkers, there is no way to turn it off, and the developer hasn’t responded when I wrote to ask about it. Consider using this for programming some specific automations maybe, but forget it if you want to use it to actually control your lights. A real shame..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Too buggy to be usableI wish I could like this app, but it's just too buggy to be usable. In particular the handling of Automations primarily makes your automations worse by adding an element of randomly modifying them! Bugs include - random conversions of degrees Fahrenheit to centigrade, so that automations randomly no longer fire - converting Automations to run Once Only (the stupidest feature Apple ever added to HomeKit, something no-one ever asked for ever). Once this is added to your automation you are doomed, you cannot switch it off! (The app will show you've switched it off but revisit the automation and, oh yeah, it's back on again) - randomly toggling automations to off HomeKit automation is already a disaster just through Apple's incompetence; I really don't need an app that adds to the dumpster fire by adding a whole new level of problems and incomprehensible behavior..Version: 5.3.3
✓ Nice but many rules don’t workSpent hours trying to get things to work but many rule permutations don’t work as expected. Things like run when temperature drops below X or between X and Y. Most things that the home app can’t do, didn’t work. There is some value here as it does simplify certain rules but I can’t rely on the rules that I create working..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Limited Automation(only what HomeKit offers)I liked the fact that developer responds immediately to a concern but I am disappointed that this app has the same level of automation what the HomeKit offers. When I looked at the screens and reviews on the app, all I wanted to achieve is to turn off the lights and switches in my kitchen(not hue bulbs) to turn off 3 minutes after there is no motion detected and I learned this app doesn’t have the ability. It does allows you to create a trigger/automation but it overrides in apple HomeKit and turns off immediately which is a pain as it turns off every time I step out for a quick second and then turns on which defeats my purpose. I didn’t really see any value to pay $15 for an app which only can automate what HomeKit offers. If you are not keen on automations, then this app works great but if you are big into automations, this doesn’t justify the price..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Under featured and overpricedWas expecting a more user friendly app and more features. Shows a lot of technical jargon the devices' native apps don't use. And it's missing key features some native pass have like setting lock codes. If it had those features, the price could be acceptable but not in its current state..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Useless widgetsI literally bought this a couple of weeks ago to use the (old style) widgets. Now they have been replaced by new widget that don’t offer any functionality that you couldn’t get with shortcuts but a far less space efficient..Version: 6.0
✓ Very similar as the free Apple HOME applicationDo not buy.... does not much more than the free Apple application. Too expensive. For the price, it should have much much more fonctions and parameters to program scenes and trigger condition.Version: 2.1.4
✓ :(Work awesome! But at that price, it need to be spotless. There's crashes on Apple WATCH and it is not in French :( If it is fixed I will give 5 stars!.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Great app for rooms and zonesBringing rooms and zones to my HomeKit setup has simplified interaction with Siri. Triggers and specifically scheduled events are horrible at present. Try something straightforward like getting lights on for a couple of hours each weekday morning and you have to create ten distinct entries all of which have to be named… it's error prone and tedious. Simple, powerful, and worth the price as long as you're not interested in scheduling. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that what we have with triggers right now will be replaced with something useful soon!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ GarbageDo not buy this app, i have in my house almost all the lights and outdide light hue plus hue outdoor. After buying the app it will not work, it shows my living room lights on when the lights are off and same with my garage it shows it is closed when garage is open. This is not good when it is about your home security. I wrote to Apple and the pass the ball to developer for refund. I purchase this from Apple not developer.... do not waste your money guys use the Home app what is coning with ios in which i never have a issues.......Version: 4.0
✓ No push notifications in triggersBrilliant app but the triggers don't allow you to send a notification which is the only reason I purchased the app. I thought this would have been a standard feature. Hopefully the developer will enable this in the next version and I can change my review but for me this is a key feature that the app lacks..Version: 1.3.1
✓ App is pointless on iOS 16For a premium app like this, it’s disappointing it hasn’t been updated in over 4 months (in which time a whole new iOS has been released). I’ve noticed even basic things like filing automations into folders has now broken a bunch of my automations. The only way to fix seems to be rebuilding them from scratch (they’re not complicated, but just a lot of them). Now I’ve paid for a premium app that was supposed to help keep things organised and easy, instead it’s done the complete opposite! Very disappointing. How do I get my money back and restore all my broken automations!?.Version: 5.4.3
✓ Does NOT support widgetsI bought this entirely for its widgets, only to find out that the widgets are apparently no longer available in ios 14+ Online it says there are "Today Widgets" but not "iOS 14 widgets". I assumed that meant you can only add them to your today view, but apparently it means you can't add them in ios 14 at all. I tried adding them both from home screen and from today view and none show up. 95% of people are on ios 14, so even showing the widgets in the app images is incredibly misleading..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Was awesome but update is a fail.Is a good app for setting automations however the one thing that made it worth the price tag was the favourites widget that had all favs together in one widget. The new update has changed to individual accessories and when you toggle the state it very slowly opens the home+ app to toggle one thing. Has totally ruined the best feature of the app IMO and now makes it not worth the money being asked. Just get the eve app, they are basically the same now..Version: 6.0
✓ Doesn’t WorkPaid for it and downloaded app. Open app and it asks to name the home. All I get is “error no object found”. Can’t use the app or proceed. Expect me to be refunded from apple worst app I’ve ever come across!.Version: 5.1.1
✓ Buggy, could be betterThis is an updated review: previous was 1 star. The app developer has elucidated some of the UX. I’ll keep adding more criticism, and updating my review and rating to evolve with the app’s development. Criticisms: 1) Upon going to the automation tab, and choosing to make a new automation, I’m presented with available triggers. All of these triggers are already pre-assigned to one random accessory each. For example, next to the lightbulb icon, it reads, “Hallway Closet Light is turned on.” The app should make it CLEAR that those are just suggestions, and that to begin the process of creating an automation, additional taps on the ellipsis menu icon are required. 2) The distinction this app makes between Scenes and Action Triggers is annoying. When I assign a scene to a trigger, I don’t want to then read all the individual accessory states that make up the scene whenever I’m glancing at the trigger: I should simply see that the trigger starts “Scene N,” not that the trigger sets the power of a lightbulb on, brightness to 90%, contrast to 70%, colour to some RGB spectrum, etc, then on to to next accessory’s minutia. All of that is abstracted away in the scene for a reason—don’t just expose it all again. I can’t emphasize enough how annoying this decision impacts my desire to use the app. 2.1) Furthermore, there’s no pattern that determines how the app will display them. Sometimes (rarely) I add a scene and just the scene name is shown as the action (yay), while most of the times it’s just this absurd list of accessory minutia (nay). 2.2) On several occasions, when editing existing automations that were made in the official Home app (where I always assign a custom scene to an automation and never just a bunch of accessories), I’ve had this app completely rename the scene that I’ve had in use for months in the official app. For example, I had one scene called “Bedroom Off” that was randomly renamed to “[Home3 Automation Name] actions” in HomeKit. That should never happen. 2.4) Genuinely, this whole distinction just seems like the developer being too clever for his own good. Just keep the scene names and quit mangling them. 3) Most of the listings in this app are unsorted: scenes, automations, groups, services. Pretty much everything is unsorted. I have dozens of things in all these categories. At the very least provide an option to sort them alphabetically, in addition to manually sorting, which I assume the developer thinks is sufficient. 4) How to change the name of an existing automation is not very intuitive: I can edit everything about the automation on one page, but have to swipe back to edit the name from the listing, then click press back into it. Let me edit it from the same page. Pressing on the title should do it. 5) If you simply want to explore options for creating a new automation, you need to name it first, then proceed to review the options. After reviewing those options and returning to the automation listing, that automation now exists, but it’s disabled. It’s too easy to clog up the automation listing with all these dud automations that were really just exploratory. Either split them apart from all the active ones, or simply delete it if nothing was actually configured beyond a name. 6) Using the word, “services,” instead of “accessories” is not accurate. These are all accessories, not services. 7) The “Disable after execution” option needs more clarification. Add another sentence further explaining what it does, and what an end user would need to do if they use this option. Does it remain disabled forever after selecting this option? In other words, will you need to come back to this trigger and re-enabled it next time you want it to run again, or will it re-enable itself after a certain time? Make it clear. 8) What does “hearting” a group do on the group page? It does nothing as far as I can see. 9) The first three tabs on the bottom menu (Home, Services, Groups) all seem very similar: just exhaustive lists of accessories laid out differently. I feel like there could be a far more efficient use of this tab real-estate. Feature Requests: A) Allow disjunctions for “WHEN THIS HAPPENS” in a trigger. For example, when either my bedroom side lamp, my wife’s bedroom side lamp, the closet light, or accent light turns on, do n. B) Place disabled automations under their own heading. C) An attempt should be made to provide order to the mess that is automations. I’ve already criticized the lack of sorting in this app (3), but I think automations should be organized even beyond alphabetical. Try to group by room, zone, or whole home, depending on the impact a scene has..Version: 3.3.1
✓ For the real reasons you’d want this app, it falls short.The app itself works great for doing basic things in a more streamlined way, however will support across devices is limited and an extreme annoyance. For example, with my Honeywell alarm system, as soon as I create any automations with any sensor in this app the entire Honeywell system disconnects from HomeKit and needs to be reconnected and every accessory added. I contacted the developer three times about this and never got a response. Certain Onvis products have an extreme lag with this app. As others mentioned, audio automations are more limiting here than with the official home app. The app itself is great and the easy of creating complex automations is just want apple needs to implement in it’s native app. However, if you want a streamlined all in one automations system, this falls short as it simply dose not support all accessories..Version: 5.3.3
✓ Newest major update is a huge step backwardThe new version of this app is a very **very** poor replacement for the previous versions. It’s so bad that I’m looking for a different app to use. Until now, I have used this app exclusively to operate my HomeKit devices, including all the lighting in my house, multiple outlets, door locks, etc. The latest version has a long delay between opening the app and updating the status of the smart devices. There is a long delay when tapping an icon to turn a light in or off. The organization of tiles is nonexistent. It no longer feels like the leading app it used to be..Version: 5.0.2
✓ What’s the point of this?This is an expensive app that works fine (apart from displaying the wrong camera snapshots in some places) but does virtually nothing that the Apple Home app doesn’t already do. Ok, maybe you can set up slightly more complex automations. Slightly. I’m guessing that the Home app has improved considerably since this was first released. Now it seems pointless. Can I have my money back please?.Version: 4.1.3
✓ Great app made too slow by latest updateSince the last update the app has become terribly slow. In comparison, the native Home app and the Hive app control devices almost instantly but in Home+ 6 you are left for ages looking at ‘Updating’ status of devices. It is marginally better on local Wi-Fi, but remote isn’t good at all. Any plans to look into and fix this?.Version: 6.0.2
✓ Support would be niceInitially I was pleased with this app - it offered enhanced programming and some helpful icons. However, after a month or so the time of day programming somehow got out if whack and am was swapped with pm, then simply stopped working altogether. Contacting the developer was ignored and now my Apple Home app has been messed up. What the heck? With zero support, I will need to delete this unsupported app and figure out how to reset my trusty Apple Home app back to factory. Oh joy….. what a waste of time.Version: 5.2.2
✓ VerbalVery verbal app with no icons. Everything, including the Today screen is achieved non-graphically. Developer says there are no plans to change this. No matter because now other apps have caught up with triggers, which was what justified the price of this app. Quite tedious setting scenes with this app - I use other apps to do that. Triggers are somewhat useless anyway in HomeKit unless you live alone because the iPhone must be present for anything to happen as scheduled. HomeKit seems to be in denial about this limitation, with no apparent solution to the more common scenario that two or more people live together and don't want all lights off or on depending on whether just one member of the household is present or not. So the USP of this app (more advanced triggers) is really only useful if you live alone. Not a pretty app and not worth the price given Elgato app and others that are simpler and more graphic..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Loss of power-user features?I’ve used this app since v3 and have loved it. It was great that it could fine tune a scene in ways the native app couldn’t. For example I could edit a screen to set ONLY a lights brightness, but not it’s power state or color. So I could set lights to dim if they were already on, but not turn them on it they were already off. I might be missing something, but that seems to be missing now in v5. It seems to have simplified the controls much like the native Home app. Which I imagine makes it easier for some too use, but I feel takes away the advantage this app used to have. Is there a way to still edit things with that level of granularity still?.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Fix Error Bug or Refund!I was very excited to use your app but I was left disappointed when I tried to set up a 'New Home' but this error message kept appearing: "Cloud data sync in progress". If your app was cheaper, I would not be asking for a refund. Considering that your app is over $15 I hoped that it would work wel. If you are unable to fix this problem, please refund me my money or direct me to where I can ask for a refund..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Buggy Beyond Belief - Horrible AppThis app is total garbage. Isn’t even worth 1.99 let alone the crazy price. Only purchased it because it was recommended by a you tube review. Must be a kickback because every time I open it most devices are “no response”. I refresh the page and some fix themselves and others will say again “no response”. Lousiest app I’ve ever purchased from the App Store and I want a refund..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Latest version is a significant downgrade.Maintaining my scenes is far more tedious than with previous versions of the app. The new slider controls may look pretty, but they are so imprecise that they make it extremely difficult to set lights to the same temperature. It was better when light color was set with the same type of control as brightness. The roller wheels are far easier to manage. The new version takes much more pressing and swiping than version 4..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Most infuriating Automations only run half the timeCan’t work it out If I make an automation in HomeKit it will run every single time. When I make one in this app it runs about 50% of the time, which makes it useless. Paid a lot and am now forced to bin the app.Version: 5.3.3
✓ Clicking on the Automations Tab Crashes AppI really like this app for the powerful features it provides and the ability to name and sort automations into folders. However, with the most recent update I am unable to access the automation section of the app. It crashes every time I click on it. I’ve tried on both my iPhone and my iPad and have the same issue. I tried to contact the developer on Twitter but got no response..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Dumbed down update (v5)I want my money back. I use this mainly for iOS/iPadOS home screen tiles but this v5 was made for toddlers.Version: 5.0.1
✓ V5 is a big downgrade - needs a lot of workI’ve noticed recently after updating to v5 that most of the automations that I make in Home+ no longer transfer to the native Home app. I’ve only had one out of the last ten transfer over. They all still work, but it’s kinda frustrating not having access to them natively in Home because Home+ always creates a new scene, even if you don’t select a scene to run. It just makes a scene with what I assume is the scene id as the name. Which gets added to favorites by default and clutters the native Home dashboard instantly. My original work around in v4 was to create the automation, switch to the Home app, and replace the scene created by Home+ with the device states. It was still a pain, but at least it worked once done. Now I just have all these scenes that I can’t delete without killing the automation and it’s horrible to keep organized. Also, bring back the custom app icon. Why are you removing features that we had before on an app at this price?.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Mostly useless!I bought this app yesterday Ver 6.0 and I’m extremely disappointed. Here are few point why: Automations: I still don’t get how they are originally sorted. In addition having automation with 3 words in small tiles makes the whole automations view completely useless. Not to mention that because Apple doesn’t allow other apps to see automations parts that use “convert to shortcut”, this app is completely useless for automations that were made in Apple Home app. Also the app uses an inconsistent layout. Some tiles act like HomeKit in iOS 15 (in rooms views) while others like iOS 16 in Automations and Scenes. For me this app is useless and I would happily get a refund. I think that rushing and releasing an app that have inconsistent views shows a very low Quality Control and the wish to make money without considering the users needs. I would give Zero stars but unfortunately the lowest mark Apple allows is only one star!.Version: 6.0
✓ Lack of support from developerSeveral emails sent, zero respose.Version: 6.1.0
✓ Not worth the $$After reading many reviews, mostly on the US App Store where they have many more reviews than on the CDN App Store, I was convinced this app would be well worth the exorbitant price to custom control my Phillips Hue lighting system. But really, all this app provides is an interface for HomeKit, and a confusing one at that. After many hours of frustration, I found a PDF on the Phillips Hue site that had a great walk through for setting up and understanding HomeKit and Siri commands with Phillips Hue - using the free Elgato Eve app, which they recommend. And it's FREE! Better interface, same functionality. Too bad I blew $16 on this Home app..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Waste of moneyRidiculously expensive for an app that offers little more than Apples own app. No free trial period so you can assess the app before handing over money and then has the cheek to offer the facility to “tip” the developer even more! Not impressed..Version: 4.1.4
✓ Very disappointingPowerful app but the design makes it unusable when you have many HomeKit devices. Doesn’t respect groups of devices created in the Apple Home app, so you just get long lists of accessories..Version: 4.2.2
✓ Glances.So far so close. Please add glances to the watch app! Other than that. The app works great!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Awesome app but unusable once you have many accessories and automationsThis app would be awesome but it becomes totally unusable (even on latest iOS and brand new iPad) once you have dozens of accessories and automations. It literally comes to a grinding halt as it seemingly cannot work with long lists of items. Im guessing it’s just a coding issue as other apps can handle it no problems. Happy to work with the developer to fix this..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Yep no real dark mode in appI should have read the reviews waste of money for me partially sighted I wanted a black theme with the dynamic fonts :-(.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Widget feature not workingI rated this three stars because I’ve only tested the widget feature and that is, aside from being able to access its settings, non existent on both iPhone and iPad, despite the settings for the widget feature being available on both device types. For me, this isn’t acceptable because I really wanted the widget feature for Homekit and saw from other users and its product page that this was an app that had that, supposedly. I am happy with Homekit if this app won’t fix its broken widget feature or won’t follow through completely with its execution, whichever narrative the developer wants to go with. I have emailed the developer asking for a refund or for the developer to fix the feature. I’m guessing that this is a fix that’s needed and not the result of incomplete work. I hope the developer chooses to fix this software problem. I will update my rating accordingly if that happens..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Solid appApp is good but is missing one important feature for me and that is support for Philips Tap and Dimmer Switch, iConnectHue allows you to have multiple presses and holds on this which is really useful... Also there is no real way to create new scene where Nanoleaf Aurora will play animation and not just solid color, even Apple Home app would allow you to have scene from Nanoleaf app and add lights to that and then assign scene to button... Thank you for your hard work!!!.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Expensive and rubbishI have several issues with this app. I'll add them as I go. When setting up Rooms you can add devices. I have 12 hue Lights. 5 light strips, 4 blooms, 3 bulbs. The only distinguishing factor this app presents when adding these lights is "Hue Light Strip" 5 times. I have to go through trial and error to figure this out! Utterly ridiculous! There don't appear to be any apps for hue that allow a family as a whole trigger events. For example if I leave home, this app turns all the lights off, with complete ignorance that my partner is still at home. Tado actions this perfectly, only turning heating off if ALL family members leave the home. How about Turn on WHEN sunset IF at home. Currently I can turn them on at sunset either ALWAYS no matter where in the world I am... or I have to cross the Geofence. No way to do it if I am already within the geofence. This app in its current state provides everything, but nothing that we actually need. Why don't you be the niche app that provides the functionality needed by everyone and you might actually be worth the £11 this cost..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Aqara Humidity Trigger Not WorkingI bought this app as I read on Reddit that it is able to trigger HomeKit smart plug (MeRoss) by reading relative humidity from Aqara sensor. I read that this paid app can do that unlike the free Eve for HomeKit app. I need the power to turn on when humidity drops below 30%. However, no matter what I do, and checked the if then formula, it does not work. I reached out to developer via email to see if the app needs an update to make it work with iOS 14.3 but have not heard back. Requested refund via Apple and leaving this review for others who might be seeking a solution like me..Version: 4.2.6
✓ I can see the appeal but features missingI have Aqara TRV’s controlling my radiators and Home+ needs to be updated to work with these. Currently the app can’t recognise when the radiators are at target temperature to turn my main thermostat on and off (the reason I paid £12.99 for this App 😐) Please update and I will review at 5* !!.Version: 6.0.1
✓ Is not any better that the Apple appUnless you have everything automated, don’t spend the money. I have Eufy cameras and door bell, and August door lock. Tried to program automation so when I leave the door automatically locks, and when I come home, the door automatically unlocks. Here is how is works: when this happens/I leave home/current state is unlocked/perform action set to unlock. Nothing works. Here is how programming for the masses should work: When I leave home, the current state of my august lock is unlocked, the eufy camera sees me leaving, the action is to lock the door behind me. I’m assuming I need more sensors or cameras for this to actually add real value..Version: 4.2.6
✓ Disappointing and Slightly MisleadingLike many people, I mistakenly purchased the app looking to streamline the process of creating shortcuts. Unfortunately, the app creators fail to mention in the description that you CANNOT edit or use shortcuts with the app. I understand that is a limitation beyond their control but I find it misleading that this vital bit of information is not make explicit. That would be enough for 3 stars but now I find that I cannot even reliably retrieve color temperature/hue/saturation details. I’d like to be able to choose a setting in the Philips Hue app and then use Home+ to gather details about that setting. Nope. Home+ doesn’t update the temperature/hue/saturation details. Refund please..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Hey Why don’t my Apple TV’s show in accessories.I was jumping through all kind of hoops trying to figure out why my Apple TV 4’s don’t appear as accessories in this app like they do in the “Home” app version. Quite disappointing when it does pick up all my lights and both my thermostats with no problem. Finally I started Googling the subject to see if I could get any answers and after reading a little I’m just finding out that this App is Not from Apple but from another developer who was forced by Apple to change the name of his App to “Home+” in order to clear up any confusion between the two. But I purchased it a while back thinking it was a upgraded Apple “Home” app. I was even going to call Apple tech support to find out what the problem was. Glad I googled first. As for the non connectivity of my Apple TV’s to this App, I guess Apple has put some limitations on outside developer apps..Version: 4.1.3
✓ New update ruined this app’s USPOn previous versions of Home, it was simply the best app for fine tuned control of HomeKit accessories and scenes. You could select all the characteristics of all the accessories you wanted in one go, and then tweak within the scene itself. Unfortunately this new update breaks that workflow, since every time you select a characteristic of an accessory to add to a scene, you’re taken back to the scene itself. The UX prioritises adding a single characteristic over multiple. Imagine you want to create a scene with 4 lights, and you want to control the power, brightness, saturation and hue in each; setting up this scene could be done in around 19 taps for 16 characteristics on the old version. On this latest update it takes 64 taps, which makes the app incredibly frustrating to use. There are lots of good things about this app, but since it broke one of the main workflows to set up a scene I find myself looking for alternatives. I’d be massively appreciative if the scene creation UX could be fixed to something as good as, or better than, before..Version: 4.0.1
✓ 0 étoilesAucunement utile comme application, trop cher pour absolument rien de plus qu’un simple tableau avec vos appareils compatibles. Les automatisations avec les capteurs de température aqara ne fonctionne pas..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Requires iCloud KeychainThis app requires iCloud Keychain sync to be enabled. I don’t upload my passwords, encrypted or not online. Unless you agree to this in the app it just hangs and wont work. I have emailed the developer and got a refund. Hopefully this will be changed in future versions. This is supposedly so you can share info between devices. No other app I know requires this. I also don’t need to share info with anything else so why force this?.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Not worthThe app does the same things as the apple home, not worth buying it..Version: 4.1.3
✓ Pretty disappointingI don't know if the shortcomings are with Apple's HomeKit or this app, but I'm very let down by how many seemingly obvious features are missing from Home. Rudimentary sunrise/sunset controls (no offsets). I can't set recurrences by days of the week (just daily, weekly, etc.). In places, text appears overtop of other text. There's no handling of other users (I want a trigger to behave differently depending on whether my wife is home or not). Add on that this app is $21 CAD and all I can offer is a resounding *pass*. Even at $5 this wouldn't be worth it..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Terrible.Don’t waste your money on this. Buggy and not as good as the native Home app..Version: 6.0.3
✓ Features lost! How do I go back?Hi. Was a great app I paid a serious price for, but this update is not for me: logs gone without any notice; scenes view much poorer; editing automations has problems...sorry dont like it. How can I go back?.Version: 5.0.2
