Long Hard Road

I’ve been using this application for years all through the name changes etc. I can honestly say the application is finally matured enough to be usable for my application (LG OLED tv, Denon receiver, Fire tv stick). The programming has become more straight forward, the user interface while not overly colorful is at least intuitive and usable. Programming does not glitch anywhere’s as much as it used to. I have Govee lights to control which will be my next exercise. Much improved guys/gals. Thank you.

Rhymes with puck off

This app: Give us your email address and then we’ll show you how the app works and whether it even uses IR to communicate with wired devices. Me:Ugh. Fine here. But I’m not actually logged in so don’t mail it. This app: Great. Now give us $90 and then we’ll show you how the app works and whether it even uses IR to communicate with wired devices. Me: …

Mac App is a Companion App to iOS App

I've read some negative reviews about the MacOS version of this app and I think it should be clarified that the Mac App is really meant to be a companion app to the IOS and iPadOS apps. Roomie is really intended to be used with a touch screen like an iPhone or an iPad, but I've give a lot of props to the developer for taking the time to develop a Mac dedicated app. The Mac version of the App works exactly like it's iOS and iPadOS counterparts and can also be used as an always-on "hub", which isn't necessary for most features, but a nice option for more advanced features. While I understand that some people may be turned off by the subscription model/fee, I find it to be worth the money because a) I can control all of my TVs and media players throughout my house without any additonal hardware, b) the developer is consistently updating the app and adding new features (and is also very active on the forum and c) there aren't any better options in the market that do what this app does now that Harmony has shut down. I really wish the developer would consider developing a physical remote that other family members could use, but I'm assured this will never happen. Nevertheless, I can't criticize the app or the developer for this since that's not the business model here and the product is really solid on its own. The front-end/UI of the app is an absolute gem. I have a hard time finding any room for improvement. The setup/backend process, however, leaves a bit to be desired. While not horrible, it's not as straight forward and easy to use as say the Harmony Hub setup process. I will admit, however, once you figure out the activity setup process you'll find that it's a bit more powerful than the Harmony Hub. I've been an Apple user for years and while I hate subscription models, this is one I can support because the developer is constantly improving this app, adding features and keeping it awesome. And the subscription model is much more reasonable than it once was. Now, if you're household has TVs and Audio devices that are older and not network connected or compatible with Roomie, than I suggest looking elsewhere. But for those that are looking for perhaps a Harmony replacement or a new toy to play with, this app is polished and supports a wide range of devices, so it's not some cheap fly by night app that supports only one brand. This app is legit with a very acrive developer.

Once again it has broken my setup

Who runs this product? I cringe every time there is an update, and this one is no exception. My volume controls for my denon receivers have all stopped working. Please for the love of the universe, stop making unnecessary changes. You are not going to replace HomeKit or google, pick your product area and your key customer and make them love your product. I expect that your goal is to to retain customers like me who have complex av systems and multi person families who benefit from ease of use of tech. If this is the case, you should be looking at existing configuration to find the most common components, setups, and integrations and then regression test simulated versions of them before you release new software. Seems to me you are testing new setups from scratch, and maybe that works fine, but you are always breaking your more tenured customers setups. I have managed to simplify my life in one system down to an appletv running everything, including on/off and volume - motivated by being able to stop using roomie. So for that system I have achieved a roomie-free situation that is perfect. For my theater, there is a lot more going on and it helps to have roomies ability to integrate and automation controls. Unfortunately instead of being excited about roomie, I spend time like a clever squirrel trying to find another path and look forward to the day I can finally fire you, and stop paying hundreds of dollars a year.
