Good but really needs work – Platinum App Review

Update 3: 2.0.9 10/8/3014. Initial reaction - 7 months for an update and this is what you provide customers who have spent thousands of dollars on blinds? Seriously. I have marked the 1 item they fixed in my previous review. They have also taken the ability to set the time before/after sunrise/sunset from 90 min to 60 minutes. Adding ability to reset long / lat is nice but if you are using a smart phone you should not have to enter this. Hunter Douglas needs to hire some UI designers and put more money into improving the app and repeaters. Update 2: no update since March 3, 14 - to me this seems to point to a lack of dedication of fixing bugs with the app. See below. If you are considering purchasing shades that can be controlled from a smart phone - you might want to consider another brand. It is not just the app - the main controller needs improvements as well. Update 1: lowered rating. For the price of the product Hunter Douglas needs to get this app working. They might have great blinds but the app is dollar store quality. Very unfortunate. This app can be frustrating to use when you have many blinds. * fixed with version 2.0.9 * - The app rarely shows the blinds in the current position or at the position they are programmed to. I have 7 Duette PowerRise Top-Down/Bottom-Up blinds. For example if I program the bedroom blinds to close at 10 and then I go back to view the program the round white button for the bottom rail is at the top by the word open. There is a solid blue line for that entire side. For the middle rail, the round white button appears in the middle with a blue line extending from the word close at the top to the middle line. This does not make sense. It seems like the screen resets itself. The program works correctly but the screen does not. Also if you have the intermediate setting turned "on" on the iphone app, if you open the app on the iPad it shows the intermediate setting as "off". And what is the purpose of the brightness selector in the settings screen?
