Happy_Noodle_Boy said: I installed the public beta and the fitness app is a complete train wreck. The attempt to consolidate the tabs has dropped useful features and made betting to data clunky as all hell. What features are missing?

neilm said: The reviews of the new August lock on Amazon are considerably less complimentary. Problems with setup, WiFi connectivity and more. However a recent response there from the manufacturer says, "We have recently released new firmwar…

f5b said: Andrew_OSU said: Nothing for him to do. This relies 100% on your deadbolt you own. So there is NOTHING to go over how it is in terms of a lock because it doesn’t do that. It does actually make your existing lock safer by alerting y…

applebynature said: This is an absolutely horrible product. They are bluetooth only! Which you casually mention once or twice and as if that's a feature. These are absolutely useless unless you have an AppleTV set up within 10 feet of the dam…

f5b said: It's too expensive, to begin with. The story doesn't even mention how good of a lock it is. I buy a lock primarily as a lock; HomeKit functionality is second. There's been many videos posted on how easy it is to bypass these…

evolut said: The article title says “the best”... Is it serious or just a sales pitch? I get it that August fixed flaws of previous models, but that makes it only the best of... August locks! How is it “the best” of all HomeKit locks on the…

magman1979 said: Chinese manufacturer? No thanks. Except it’s HomeKit and Bluetooth. You don’t need the manufacturer at all and there is no way for it to share any data and everything it does is encrypted end stored locally in your home. I…

longpath said: Given its size, relative to a normal door knob, can it be used as one side of a locking door knob? I’m asking because I’ve been unable to find a HomeKit compatible locking door knob, and every home I've lived in, including my c…

tzeshan said: I keep car key in pocket. I grab door handle. The car lets me pull the handle to open. Can CarKey do this? From what we’ve heard, it could work with Apple Watch. If so, then you’d be able to just walk up and tap your wrist. …

phred said: What are the transfer speeds of the drives? Will they work with other ipads, such as mini 5? We have all the transfer speeds listed in the article. And they may work with different iPads using a Lightning to USB adapte…

Velero said: Let's expect that Eve is going to leverage Catalyst to port this great app to Apple TV and macOS. Apple needs to open the HomeKit API on Mac for developers to make a Mac app. If they did, I bet Eve would be all over it.

dewme said: I have no problem with the functionality of the ATV remote. My only complaint is the size, texture, and non-obvious orientation of the thing. It's way too small for non-baby hands, too slippery, and when in a darkened room especi…

Ofer said: Two things need to done to make it a truly worthwhile and usable streaming box: 1. Fix the remote. The current one is crap. A perfect example of style over usability. 2. Lower the price. It is significantly overpriced. It is in…

wood1208 said: Since Apple controls hardware/software and price of Apple TV box, why not upgrade it's internals(CPU/GPU,WiFi,BT,RAM,remote,etc) every alternate year ? It's about time for upgrade and hope happens in 2020. Primarily because…

mld53a said: Why can’t the app control volume like the physical remote can? That is an annoying oversight. It can! Just depends on your setup. I use the Sonos Beam soundbar and it gives me the option in the app and on my lock screen to co…
