User Reviews

User reviews largely criticize the HOOBS Apple app for reliability and connectivity problems. While the hardware/product is valued and some Mac/iPhone app functionality is noted, the app frequently crashes, fails to discover devices, and exhibits cross‑platform issues (especially after updates). Overall maintenance/stability appears lacking, despite positive remarks about the underlying HOOBS ecosystem.

Pros

Mac app reportedly works well for some users.
There is an iPhone app version that allows changing configuration and monitoring smart items.
The HOOBS hardware/product provides useful smart‑home capabilities and value in the ecosystem.

Cons

App crashes or is unstable on macOS and iOS (crashes on launch and frequent bugs).
Network discovery and device scanning often fail (cannot find devices, scans hang, or fail to detect bridges/servers).
Cross‑platform connectivity issues (iOS struggles to connect to the Hoobs box, with some reports of both platforms being unreliable).
Major version upgrade (v4 to v5) appears to break functionality for many users, with no quick fixes or clear guidance.

Recent reviews

The app is utterly unreliable, and the company that sells the Hoobs device seems to be engaged in all sorts of fraudulent behavior. From refusing to offer support for their own product, all the way up to collecting money for preorders that years later are yet to ship… just stay away.
