SAVANT
I'VE SPENT 500K ON UR SYTEMS ON TWO HOMES IN PAST YEAR, I JUST GOT THIS MAC PRO YESTERDAY YOUR APP DOESN'T WORK YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMRERS NOW AND FIX THIS YOUR SAVANT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
Freezes on full screen
I spent 6 figures on my Savant System 5 years ago. Same MacOS app with very little if any updates and definlty no improvements to the UI. Post MacOS Catalina the Savant App freezes consistantly when in full screen mode. Why would Savant not have a developer on staff that moves this app forward? So little effort and so little cost comparatively speaking would go such a long way on how consumers view the product. I could never recomend the Savant System solely because of the MacOS app usability.
App no longer works on modern computers
This computer app stinks. It was last updated in 2016 and is completely nonfunctional. Please update.
Garbage
horrible ergonomic user interface—feels 10 years old. each software update, presumably to improve the controls, brings no change to the user interface, and more bugs. Whole Savant system is unreliable—wish i never purchased this system for my home.
Not reliable
Have only had the Savant program for one day - it worked beautifully the first day. Today it won’t open. Nothing shows up on my screen, no matter what I try. Tried uninstalling and re-installing, and still, nothing comes up except a description of the program. Status bar says it is open, icon is in dock, but nothing shows up on screen. Not happy with this program at all!!!
Great Application & EASY to Use!
I do not understand why some Reviews say that this is a crappy Application. I think it works great! Sure, it is OLD; but, it still LOOKS GOOD, is REALLY EASY TO USE and just WORKS. I agree that it does need to be updated to work BETTER with El Capitan; but, IT DOES WORK WITH EL CAPITAN, AS IS because I am running Mac OS El Capitan Public Beta version 10.11.2 and IT RUNS GREAT! Sometimes, it just CRASHES ON START-UP; but, if you simply Click on it again, it runs fine. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 Clicks, but it does RUN. I am sure they will fix this problem in the next update. As far as HOW IT LOOKS, I think it looks fine, with the Square Icons & Slider Volume Control. Sure, it could be more modern looking but that is the purpose of the NEW SAVANT APPLICATION where you can import Room Photos, etc. The other great thing about this App. is that it looks exactly as it does on the Savant Remotes, which also makes it EASY TO USE because you already know where everything is & how to get to Control what you need to Control. I only really have 2 issues with it: 1. STOP SAYING THE SAME THING FOR EVERY UPDATE, I Quote, “This Release addresses specific customer-requested enhancements and stability improvements.” THAT IS SO LAME & such a poor-man’s way of describing ANY UPDATE FOR ANY SOFTWARE. How about Manning-up & ACTUALLY TELLING US WHAT THE SPECIFIC FIXES AND CHANGES ARE, so that we can easily determine whether, or not, the update addresses & fixes our issues? It is called HONESTY & GOOD CUSTOMER SUPPORT when you properly, & clearly, inform your Customers about Software Changes. 2. Why are the Versions always different from each other? Right now, on the Mac, the latest Version is 7.2.0 but the latest Version on the Remotes (iPhone, iPad & Hard Button SSR-1000 iPods) is 7.2.3? At least EXPLAIN WHY the Versions are different on the Newest Update & when the Other Update can be expected. So, in summary, I think this is a GREAT APPLICATION! If you don’t like it, then I suggest you try the New One, with the S, which is totally different but DOES NOT RUN ON THE MAC & ONLY RUNS ON iOS 8.0 & above. So, IT DOES NOT RUN ON THE HARD-BUTTON REMOTES & Older iPads because they can only run iOS 6.1.6 & NOT HIGHER. What do you think?
