## Homeboy for Insteon Hub Reviews in United States

### *---- "Apple Watch interface - needs massive work"
The main/only reason that I downloaded this was for the Apple Watch interface which used to be native on the legacy Insteon app. I just simply want a list of devices to pop up that I can control. Now that I am Apple Watch Ultra, I thought this would be even better. Unfortunately it looks like the only thing this has is Fav Scenes. Not something I really even use nor was looking for. 

I am hoping that this will have a navigable interface on watch and be able to list devices as well as scenes in the very near future. Currently no thought went into the watch interface at all.
-- Rijoro, 2023-04-08

### **--- "Display option only"
The Insteon app is no longer available so this allows me to view my Insteon devices and schedules. However, the existing schedules are not editable. Frustrating to be able to view and not change.
-- makeda42, 2022-06-08

### ***** "Works as it should"
I was a beta tester for Insteon’s new app through testflight. That allowed me to use 2 different apps to control my 2 locations without changing locations in the original Insteon app. Very handy!  Well the beta version went away, so I went looking for another app to control my 2nd location. This one seemed to be a good choice while reading the reviews in the App Store. So, I installed it and am real happy with the app.
-- laksjfgljaslgh;angkna;, 2021-01-09

### ***** "Provides a clean alternative to Insteon App"
Glad Homeboy continues to make updates.  The app works great.  The interface is clean and provides a single pane of glass to view all your devices. Thermostats are supported! Thanks!.  Load times for device status can be slow but that is with Insteon itself not the App.
-- Cal Reviews, 2020-10-19

### *---- "To control only what already exists, really?"
Fail to see advantage as can’t configure anything, only option is to execute a given scene or device.  Feels like once I provide my Insteon login credentials this app only has read-only ability to do anything.
-- Rome2day, 2019-12-29

### *---- "Same style"
Why use another app if colors and style are the same. ...
-- Yavgen, 2019-03-11

### ***** "Excellent App!!!"
Just installed on my phone. It is super easy to setup. It’s quick and responsive and does everything as advertised. Not flashy but I’m sure that’s why it performs so well. Great job!!!!
-- FlBoxMan, 2018-07-21

### ***-- "Ok App -- but needs work"
The app functions pretty well and seems quicker and more responsive than the Insteon for Hub app.  However, (IMHO) the graphic interface is pretty lame, unnecessarily colorless and boring and does not make a good use of screen real estate.  The real bummer for me is no support for my cameras -- which Insteon for Hub does quite well.
-- ligafan, 2017-05-16

### ***** "Better than Insteon app"
I really like this app and prefer to use it over the main Insteon app. It's more responsive and intuitive.
-- draftpunk, 2017-04-19

### ***-- "Good app but thermostat is not included"
The application is very easy to use it's a lot faster then insteon application.
But it will be better if the developers include a way to control the thermostat.
