User Reviews

Home+ 6 is praised for extending HomeKit with powerful conditional automations and more features than the stock Home app, including support for devices like garage doors and window shades. It’s seen as valuable for daily use and worth the price. However, it faces reliability and widget issues (automations/backups, battery widgets), mixed value versus Home, and some accessibility/support concerns. These recurring problems temper otherwise strong positive sentiment.

Pros

Adds powerful conditional automations and advanced controls that HomeKit lacks.
Offers more functionality and control than the stock Apple Home app.
Promotes smoother daily HomeKit management across devices (iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch).
Extends capabilities to devices and scenes not easily supported by HomeKit, such as garage doors and window shades.
Many users feel it's worth the investment for the extra capabilities.

Cons

Automations and backups can be unreliable, with occasional erasures or crashes.
Widget features (including the battery widget) are unreliable and are frequently removed or fail to populate across updates.
Some users feel it offers no more features than the built-in Home app, making it not worth the extra cost.
Accessibility/UI quality problems, such as limited switch-control support and inconsistent navigation.
Support responsiveness and developer reliability concerns (slow responses, past reliability issues).

This app destroys the built in Home app in the simplest of ways. Say i want to search for an accessory by name. I can do that! Maybe I want a quick filter of all temperature sensors, it has that! It can also do lots of other advanced automations etc, but the simple stuff is done well and the app always works as expected. Thank you!

This is a cleaner interface than the Apple app. I use this exclusively.

This app is great for setting up more complex automations, but it creates lots of new “scenes” with random names. This clearly is some sort of workaround, but other 3rd party apps don't seem to need to do this. I've taken to setting up automations in the Apple Home app, and then using Home+ to tweak them- this avoids the issue but is still inconvenient. Again, nice app, but it’ll leave your Home setup junked with lots of random scenes unless you do extra steps.
