Pros and cons of Control4 for OS 2 app for iPhone and iPad

Control4 for OS 2 app good for

A greatly improved version of the Control4 MyHome app, cleaned up interface new features possible for media streaming and more. Just remember that your control4 system version needs to be 2.6 or up.

I love my system! Best system out there! I can continue to add to my more and as I can afford it. Could you update the app so it could be full screen on my IPhone 6+? The TV remote is to small

Some bad moments

The App works as advertised, but seems to be unable to keep connected to the system. Constantly tries to re-connect (which can take a good 30s), plus responds very sluggishly.

This app crashes every time an update is put out - or perhaps even without them. One would think that the developers would figure it out by now?

App rarely works. Lately it tells me I need a 4sight subscription. Just another insult to the injury that is Control4.

App is very slow, crashes often and forgets what rooms are doing what often. Too slow/unreliable for 2016 tech.

Temperature control is bad and has lots of issues and I dont see the schedule tab in there as mentioned in the description,lights and locks control work fine though

For the price of the system, the app is a weak link. It does not load properly. It is a buggy app with little or no support. It is easier to get up and change the lights manually than use the app.
