Very useful
Very useful app. It has more functions than the default Apple home app. This could become my default home control app if there were a feature added that would let me display a notification or a verbal announcement when a condition is triggered.
Automate garage door lock/unlock state in addition to open/close
This is worth every penny. The native Home app doesn’t show UI for garage door lock state (prevents open via radio remotes), instead only offering control of open/close state. This app can be used to automate control for both lock/unlock state and open/close. No additional HW needed!
Great
Love the app. Can't live without it... BUT the interface needs a bit of love. The biggest is the fact that I tap an icon and expect it to act like Homekit and open an enterface to act on but find that it executed the button instead. This is a lot like Google Home does it and I hate it. Please fix or at least change the icons to show the items that execute immediately.
Great HomeKit app!
Fantastic app for HomeKit management!
Conditional Automations
As I have been moving more and more automations into HomeKit, Home+ has been extremely helpful to me because it can create conditional automations where the regular HomeKit app cannot. This is my primary use of it, and it works perfectly!
Doesn’t see HomePod as an accessory
HomePod isn’t available to use in the app.
Well organized, my go-to for Homekit
I use this for nearly everything on Homekit. From my phone to the iPad to my watch it covers everything I need day to day.
I wish I had found this sooner
Absolutely amazing app. Being able to turn dials that are hidden in the Home app via Scenes alone makes this app worth the price
Annoying Apple Settings Update Vanquished!
Get rid of the Home app entirely! Replace it with this app, and you will no longer be annoyed by Apple telling you to update. This is, of course, in addition to all the other neat things this app does. WOOHOO!
Best app ever.
Best app I have ever purchased. Works the way it is supposed to. Worth the money.
Pretty buggy
Automations often get erased after a while, particularly the “when this happens” section.
Great for customized shades
I have automated window shades, which can be controlled by the standard Apple home app. But with this app I now control closing and opening shades as the sun tracks across the sky. You, of course, need to link with HomeBridge for data, but it works very smoothly. You have so much more control with automations and conditions.
Limited item support.
Was recommended this by a friend, but it doesn't support televisions from HomeKit. Seems fine otherwise but for the price I feel like full support is reasonable.
Nice app!
I really like how you can view all devices based on category like Lights and Temperature. I would like to see the Climate category split into Humidity, Air Quaility, and Fan Comtroller. Perhaps a user definable category would be nice to have. Thank you!
Crashes fixed
Thanks for the quick response.
Works and looks great
I have a fairly extensive setup with 30 plus smart home devices and I have definitely enjoyed this app. Automations are much more extensive and customizable, along with configuration of how you want the app itself set up. You are also provided a lot more information on your devices and their current states. The only thing I wish it had and it’s a very small complaint, is more options of device icons. I definitely recommend the app to anyone who wants more control and information than what the de
It’s replacing my stock HomeKit.app!
It’s amazing, it has much better information layout than the stock HomeKit.app!
Specially the today widget.
#1 Tool For Serious HomeKit users.
I love this app. It has so many useful abilities I can’t list them all. However, I suspect it has a problem with IOS 16. It seems automation I adjust with this app locks up. I don’t know this but I think it. I’d love to see an update.
Great app, but doesn’t work fully
This is a cool app, but I set a temp based automation so when my temperature sensor in a room gets above a certain temp, it should turn on my AC upstairs. Many times I have watched the temp rise above the threshold and the automation never kicks on. This app is supposed to do more than the Home app and it doesn’t even do temperature automation.
Missing background picture
I wish there was a possibility to change the background picture of the dashboard.

Meh. I expected more…
I was misled (by others, not the developer, to clarify) into thinking that the home screen widgets can show different sensors’ status, but actually no. They are only visible in today widgets which are pretty much useless. Function-wise this doesn’t really add much more to the default home app. I wouldn’t have paid this much for it.
