User Reviews

User reviews consistently cite reliability and usability issues with the Lutron RadioRA 2 + HWQS app. Recurrent problems include connection failures after updates, crashes and reloads, and an outdated UI with limited customization. Many features touted as advantages are undermined by poor integration with ecosystems and dealer-dependent workflows. Overall, reviewers view the app as inadequately supported for a premium system and in need of modernization and ongoing maintenance.

Pros

Basic control of the RA2 lighting system via the iOS app (works when the app is stable).
The app shows which loads/lights are currently on in the main view, aiding at-a-glance status checks.
As the official RA2/HWQS control app, it provides a single interface to manage the system.

Cons

Frequent connection issues after updates, with many users reporting the app cannot connect to the bridge.
Stability problems: app crashes or fails to load, requires reinstall, and users are prompted for a new password on reopen.
Outdated, clunky UI that is not intuitive and not optimized for modern iOS devices.
Limited customization and control: hard to sort favorites/devices and many changes require dealer intervention.
Poor ecosystem integration: HomeKit compatibility is unreliable, Ring integration is not readily available, and widgets are lacking.

Recent reviews

It really did work just fine until the last update. Now I can’t connect at all. It’s awful. Stay away from it.

App is so unintuitive, options missing that their own documentation says should be there. Clearly zero investment in quality developers. So disappointing!

This app has not really improved or changed in the years since I have had the misfortune of having to use it. But the bugs keep piling on, what were mild annoyances are getting worse. Is not just that the bugs are annoying, they prevent you from using the app at all (like schedules, you get a tiny two-line to operate). Clearly this is a vastly underfunded effort - I would be surprised if more than one engineer was left working on this. It is that abysmal.
