Major lack of support and useless product

Ok, I have contacted the makers of this app several times on Facebook and have received responses although they have been slow to respond. Now I am having issues where I have remotes created for my iPhone and my iPad. The exact assignments for each and every device are programmed into the different remotes, yet I am having inconsistent results. Some devices work on the iPhone but do not work on the iPad and vice versa. This is crazy. I have changed names thinking that MAYBE it’s a cache issue. Who knows. I have asked the makers to allow the end user to clear the cache on their servers, but I haven’t received an answer to that question. If not for these issues, this would be a 5 star app. I even offered to help troubleshoot with logs, or whatever they need, but NO RESPONSE.

Can’t really explain enough, but everything is by far the best and somewhat easiest way to get a home dashboard exactly the way you want it. Small learning curve with the PC Application, however when you take the time to get to know how everything works this is some solid stuff. With that said there’s a reason why I can’t give it the full 5 stars just yet. Seems as if development has either slowed or seized completely as there hasn’t been any improvements or bug fixes don’t to the applications. After spending hours creating my perfect dashboard it troubles me to say I won’t be able to utilize it unless device status can update stably. I’ve reported the issue multiple times to the dev team hoping for some sort of good outcome since no one else comes close to their level of ease when creating your dashboard. More info on the issue if the development team sees this review. I have icons on my home page of the dashboard that will change color depending if a device is on or off. The icon will change and update to the appropriate color 100% of the time when the device is told to turn on or off through the dashboard itself. However, if the device is toggled physically through a light switch or other physical means the status doesn’t update constantly. With my luck it only updates and works for a short time if I close the application, open the home app on the iPad, and reopen the Viz Designer application. At that point it will update the status of the device even when the device is physically switched on or off with a light switch. But give it a few minutes of the dashboard just sitting there ‘idle’ or when the iPad itself locks, the issue will rise again.

It is a little expensive…but I really like the fact that I am able to make my wall mounted iPad look almost exactly how I want. I do wish that a few more themes were available to download and REALLY wish air quality was an option along with the temperature and humidity. It was a little hard to figure out in the beginning (I.E. true and false values rather than some kind of easier drop down), but anyone who wants to use their iPads as a HomeKit admin is sure to figure it out like I did - the YouTube videos are helpful. Only things I’d necessarily ask: Are their any ways to download more themes? Can you add air quality sensor compatibility? Any way to have outdoor weather added? I really like the app. It is very quick and looks nice!

I came across this app today; I was hesitant to purchase it based on the reviews, but after a couple of hours, I can’t say enough about how great it is. This is the customization for the HomeKit app I’ve been searching for. It appears there are a few problems, but it looks as though the developer is quickly fixing them.

This is a great app. I have been able to make a unique HomeKit display by importing my own images. I would have given the app 5 stars but there seems to be a problem with passcode pop-up. When I press my security bottom the passcode pop-up is displayed in the middle of the screen, right where my cameras are. No matter what I have tried, I can’t not get the pop-up to display in front of the camera images. Is it possible to have the passcode pop-up display in front of the cameras?

The app and idea have a lot of potential. I have issue with adding temp accessories the it does not allow. I have aqara 3 in one temperature accessory. I’m still exploring to complete my review, will follow later.

Gave the app a shot (it definitely has potential), but once I got the lights in the rooms with their custom widgets, the app would crash each time a tried to toggle the lights on. Seems like they have some work to do, I’m going to try and get a refund.

First. Given the opportunity, I would give this App a 4.25/5 rating. When the Developer corrects the Cº to Fº conversion issue (for U.S. users) my rating will change to 4.5/5. My Review: This App/Progran combination is not for everyone. It's for, what I would refer to as, Power Users. Meaning, users with technical and/or design software experience - and users with a willingness to invest the time to create an interface that fits their specific use-needs and allows for (possible) improvement over the Home App. Basically - If you're confused about the difference between the VIZ App & the VIZ Program...and which needs to be loaded on what device...you're probably not in the category of 'Power User' that I referred to above. If you are a 'Power User', you will likely be impressed with the capability of this App/Program combination. While not 'perfect', VIZ-Designer allow for a LOT of customization for creating a Dashboard that can be tailored to work within your specific use case.

DONT BUY !
