Major Disappointment... – Simple Control Home Remote Review

This app "upgrade" is a major disappointment in many areas. Let me start by saying I've been using roomie remote subscriber for many years with a paid subscription and have always loved the app until they pulled a fast one. They decided to come out with an upgraded version 5 and instead of allowing the folks with the existing version 4 to continue using the app and keeping it on the App Store they revamped it to be a legacy app with a new name (now ver.4.11) and now you need to pay $9.99 if you deleted it from your device or want to add to another device on your same account as the previous version is no longer available in the App Store. This is BS on their part and completely unfair. In addition the user interface has taken a major step backwards and modifying a devices remote or activity is totally cumbersome at this point. They have also revised the rooms setup which you now have no option to remove if you choose not to use it. I also went to install the new version on my wife's ipad (because I do not want to pay $9.99 for the old 'legacy' version which I already own on another device), and I am out of luck because it now requires iOS 11 for the new "free subscription only" version so I am out of luck. I feel I have paid for an app that I no longer have access to on the App Store unless I want to pay an additional $9.99 as well as the monthly fee I am currently paying which I will not do. I think I am going to find an alternative to this app as they have really done an injustice to their long time subscribers. Rob
