The majority of the claims being made via bold statements on its website are pretty bogus. There’s no tvOS app as advertised (one of the reasons I was interested and I looked forever for it), the dev’s email address listed on its website bounces back as not a valid address and the feedback/contact/bug report submission form goes to a non-existent inbox. No one should be charging for something like this. The iOS app looks polished and if it worked in any meaningful way, that might be worth it. Can’t control zones, only rooms, no full house functionality other than to turn them all off. Once you enable effect on one room and then select the other room the previous rooms’ effects stop so only allowing for effects on one room at a time. If you leave the app, the effects stop working even to let’s say check a text message, and when you return, the app gaslights you into saying it’s playing and rather than give you an option to start the effect again the only button available is to stop. The command center’s internal app shortcut (the command button) lists your scenes in a list form sorted alphabetically, but mine cut off after the letter B. Lots of button presses don’t register so you’re constantly clicking things three to four times before seeing any sort of actionable response from the app. The iPad app freezes at what seem like intervals but you often have to wait 30+ seconds between two actions ranging from clicking a form field until you’re allowed to type in it to changing options. The MacOS app touts itself as some beautifully skinned native OS app but it’s legit just the iOS app usable only in your MacOS menu bar, but with much less functionality because you’re not on a touch screen iPhone, you’re on your computer. I’d also not call it an app - it’s a non-working utility. You can’t adjust the size of the menu bar drop down like you can when you build menu bar apps on platforms like Menu Bar X and the dimensions it provides for you only work if you want to see three of your rooms and are fine not being able to access the lights for the rest of them because you are not able to scroll to the right. There’s a ton of other stuff for all of the apps that we haven’t even hit on yet, but that seems enough to inform. I’m not sure what this dev was doing here, but alarming that they are charging for this or that it is up in the App Store at all. Don’t let the solid looking skin fool you.
