User Reviews

Users like the app for local/remote access, speed, and customizable UI with handy speed-dial controls. However, multiple reviews highlight recurring connectivity and login problems, stability issues like crashes and black screens, and dissatisfaction with major UI updates that feel forced and reduce customization. A few users feel the app offers little benefit over the web interface, making it harder to justify using the app in some cases.

Pros

Local and remote access to openHAB (including cloud) for convenient control
Fast and responsive performance
User-friendly interface with high customization options
Quick access to controls via speed dial / shortcuts

Cons

Frequent connection failures and authentication/login issues
Recent UI updates are perceived as forced and reduce customization (layout/spacing changes)
Instability: crashes, black screens on launch, and random shutdowns
No clear advantage over the web interface; the app can be harder to use for some tasks

Recent reviews

Great app to access openhab locally and remotely (through openhab cloud) update: a lot of times it tries to connect to the remote server when I'm in my local wifi which makes everything slow
