Great when it works but very buggy
This app is a constant headache. It breaks periodically without making changes. I’ve experienced cases where making one small change ends up erasing or changing unrelated settings in activities. My most recent problem was setting unit it up on a new iPad. My home is on an iPhone and another iPad. The new iPad doesn’t pick up my home despite being signed in with the same Apple ID.
