## Description

This Control4 app is designed for Control4 Smart Homes running OS 3. It turns your iPhone or iPad into your personal user interface to control all your smart home devices. Note: Prior to using this app, your Control4 system must be updated to Control4 Smart Home OS 3 or later. If you are unsure of the software version on your system, check with your Control4 Dealer or login to your Control4 account at control4.com.

OS 3 was redesigned to be more personal and the smart home OS of choice for families. It enables you to check on the status and control your entire smart home including music, video, lights, thermostats, security system, cameras, door locks, garage doors, pools, and more. New features in OS 3 include Favorites, per-room favorites, quick interface personalization, room-level controls, a room menu to hide less-used icons, swipe between rooms, filtering for lights, locks and shades, the Active Media Bar showing what’s playing and providing fast media control, a new volume slider, and easily changeable background wallpapers for each room.

## Review summary

Multiple reviews highlight major reliability and usability problems: repeated connectivity crashes, post-update failures, and intercom/door-station lag. Music service integration is patchy, and the UI is described as clunky or unintuitive. A minority praise the app’s Apple-like design and note it can be responsive and effective for some users, especially for lighting/fan controls on OS3. Overall, the app struggles with stability, updates, and feature reliability while offering occasional solid performance for a subset of users.

### Pros

- Elegant Apple-like UI/design
- When it works, the app is responsive and core controls (lights, fans) respond quickly
- OS3 version remains reliable for some users

### Cons

- Frequent connectivity issues and crashes; many users report being unable to connect or reconnect
- Post-update breakages; updates routinely cause the app to stop working or lose control
- Intercom/door-station functionality is unreliable with lag, missed calls, and delayed notifications
- Streaming/music integration is inconsistent across services (Spotify, Qobuz, Apple Music)
- UI/UX is clunky or unintuitive and setup (scenes, time windows) often requires installer support or is error-prone
