The app functions pretty well and seems quicker and more responsive than the Insteon for Hub app. However, (IMHO) the graphic interface is pretty lame, unnecessarily colorless and boring and does not make a good use of screen real estate. The real bummer for me is no support for my cameras -- which Insteon for Hub does quite well.
Apple Watch interface - needs massive work

The main/only reason that I downloaded this was for the Apple Watch interface which used to be native on the legacy Insteon app. I just simply want a list of devices to pop up that I can control. Now that I am Apple Watch Ultra, I thought this would be even better. Unfortunately it looks like the only thing this has is Fav Scenes. Not something I really even use nor was looking for. I am hoping that this will have a navigable interface on watch and be able to list devices as well as scenes in the very near future. Currently no thought went into the watch interface at all.
Works as it should

I was a beta tester for Insteon’s new app through testflight. That allowed me to use 2 different apps to control my 2 locations without changing locations in the original Insteon app. Very handy! Well the beta version went away, so I went looking for another app to control my 2nd location. This one seemed to be a good choice while reading the reviews in the App Store. So, I installed it and am real happy with the app.
Provides a clean alternative to Insteon App
Cal Reviews
Glad Homeboy continues to make updates. The app works great. The interface is clean and provides a single pane of glass to view all your devices. Thermostats are supported! Thanks!. Load times for device status can be slow but that is with Insteon itself not the App.
This release fixes a bug that prevented the ability to swipe back to previous screens (e.g. device/scene screens to the main screen, device/scene detail screens to their respective device/scene screens).
