Don’t Believe the Bad Reviews – Simple Control Home Remote Review

I really can’t understand the bad reviews on this app, most of which seem to be criticism toward the new interface or just negative because this is a subscription based app. I personally love the new interface and to call it “90’s” as one other reviewer put it is so far off base the review should be removed. The new interface is elegant and leaps and bounds better than the previous version. I’ve been a fan of this app since the Roomie days and am so happy to see that it’s still in active development. Everything for me just works and works well. If I had a criticism though, I would like to see the ability to add a device to the activity screen so I can easily pull up the remote for a certain device without having to dig for it in the device menu and the hit “test”. That part is not very intuitive. Also, the hub syncing functionality to sync settings between devices is super confusing, not intuitive and hopefully this can be improved in a future release. Aside from these nits, this app is amazing and has so many surprising features built in. Overall very impressed.
