Many complains
Regarding this specific version of the app:
Fix the contrast on the energy history screen. It looks like gray text over red graph bars. Its hard to read.
Regarding nest cam app features:
Home/Away assist is very unreliable. The camera often records when a registered phone is on location.
Regarding the TV app: The 4th gen Apple TV has been out for over a year. Even before it was publicly released developers could get them sooner. Nest is just now releasing an Apple TV app and it doesnt allow the user to adjust thermostats? Seriously?
Nest cam app performance:
Performance while viewing recorded footage is very poor. It takes an unreasonable amount of time to load a clip for viewing. Sometimes the clip never loads even though the Wi-Fi connection is an 802.11ac connection with a tested download speed of 179 Mbits per second. It has been like this for about 6 months, at least, Ive only owned my cam for that amount of time. For all I know its never worked. What good is a security camera if you cant review footage??? Tested on an iPhone 5, two iPhone 6 devices, iPad 2, iPhone 7 plus. Tested on local high speed network, tested remotely over LTE and remotely from a wireless network with an internet download speed of 217 Mbps and used old of 297 Mbps. Those are actual speed test results from the iPhone 7 Plus on the remote network. The 179 mentioned earlier is the local network. No matter how fast the internet speed is the clips just show a perpetual loading indicator. Remember these are cloud clips. The video was already sent to the internet from the camera. So this is a problem with nests app and the nest cloud. Not a problem with my devices or my internet connection.
Thermostat and HomeKit:
For no good reason Nest does not support Apple home kit on their latest thermostat hardware. The app and hardware should take advantage of whatever unique features each platform has to offer that can extend the functionality of the device and improve the overall user experience. This should include apple HomeKit. I understand adding homekit integration requires special hardware inside the unit which is why I dont expect there to ever be HomeKit support on older thermostat generations but generation 3 should have it. Yes its a bit expensive to license but this is premium hardware being sold at premium price. I expect HomeKit support!
A LOT of nest customers are complaining about this.
Nest labs! Dont be stupid! Do you want ecobee and Honeywell to win over the millions of iOS users? WAKE UP. Ecobee has you beat right now in terms of features and options. Everything your thermostat does ecobee 3 does and... It does much more... including HomeKit, up to 32 wireless temperature sensors, Zigbee (and other protocols, supported and enabled). Get with the program!
