Pros and cons of Home+ 6 app for iPhone and iPad
Home+ 6 app good for
Homekit implementation is left to developers, making it less user friendly than what I would expect from Apple. Home fills the gap with a full implementation. It is a very good application to manage all your Homekit enabled devices. Clean interface, and not mentioned but Siri is supported. If there is any shortcomings, its more due to the lack of maturity of Apples Homekit than to the developer who is very responsive.
Yes, I’m yelling! It took all of 5 minutes to name my lights, group them into rooms and zones and it works perfectly with Siri. I can say ‘good night’ to shut off everything in the house or ‘set scene ’ or ‘set the living room lights to pink’. It works flawlessly and it’s so much better than any of the Hue related apps I’ve tried so far.
It is unbelievable that this app was not offered by Apple with the current OS. In any event, except for a few problems with room assignment defaults, Great job and thank-you
This is app is so good and so well designed that it should be part of iOS! Only thing missing are "service groups"
It got everything you need to control your devices
Before this app came to life, there was chaos, now theres order and hope!
Combines all the features of HomeKit into one easy app. Love it!
Some bad moments
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.
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 its FREE! Better interface, same functionality. Too bad I blew $16 on this Home app.
Was expecting a more user friendly app and more features. Shows a lot of technical jargon the devices native apps dont use. And its 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.
No matter what I do and read and follow all instructions all I get is iCloud sync iCloud sync .. Ive never been so aggravated trying to get something to work to clearly does not work
Does not work with the most popular smart house hub available- link
This app is worthless to me. I cant use it with any of my devices and unfortunately, you cant try before you buy.
