To control your devices, only the VIZ Designer app is required.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To control your HomeKit devices with the VIZ Designer app it is necessary to create the app user interface with the included VIZ Designer software first. The VIZ Designer software is available for MacOS and Windows.

Ratings and Reviews
Liked it at first, starting to have issues
Ok, I have contacted the makers of this app several times on Facebook and have received responses although they have been slow to respond. Now I am having issues where I have remotes created for my iPhone and my iPad. The exact assignments for each and every device are programmed into the different remotes, yet I am having inconsistent results. Some devices work on the iPhone but do not work on the iPad and vice versa. This is crazy. I have changed names thinking that MAYBE it’s a cache issue. Who knows. I have asked the makers to allow the end user to clear the cache on their servers, but I haven’t received an answer to that question. If not for these issues, this would be a 5 star app. I even offered to help troubleshoot with logs, or whatever they need, but NO RESPONSE.
Needs Improvment
The idea and the design aspect is good but I am having issue controlling some of my Philips hue light bulbs. The strange thing is the execute command is able to toggle some of my hue light bulbs but not others of the exact same type. The app was able to discover all lights but it is not able to control all. Also, the app is able to display the status of my Lutron dimmers but again the toggle command doesn’t work.
Great App for 'Power Users'
First. Given the opportunity, I would give this App a 4.25/5 rating. When the Developer corrects the Cº to Fº conversion issue (for U.S. users) my rating will change to 4.5/5.
My Review:
This App/Progran combination is not for everyone. It's for, what I would refer to as, Power Users. Meaning, users with technical and/or design software experience - and users with a willingness to invest the time to create an interface that fits their specific use-needs and allows for (possible) improvement over the Home App.
Basically - If you're confused about the difference between the VIZ App & the VIZ Program...and which needs to be loaded on what device...you're probably not in the category of 'Power User' that I referred to above.
If you are a 'Power User', you will likely be impressed with the capability of this App/Program combination. While not 'perfect', VIZ-Designer allow for a LOT of customization for creating a Dashboard that can be tailored to work within your specific use case.
Developer Response ,
