Customer Ratings & Reviews

I expected more from being an Apple product. Very limited on what it can connect to wirelessly as most brands are going with Amazon and Google products. Own Apple products for decades and will admit that Echo dot is way easier to use and more functional than this HomePod. It’s basically an over priced speaker.

Won’t play my iPhone library. Handoff through airplay isn’t working. Will return it.

Great product but received refurbished unit. Very disappointing, will order from apple

Not what I was expecting. Was hoping for possible wireless use. Also didn’t use it as much as I tbought

This is BY FAR the worst Apple product I have ever owned. I have had connectivity issues with it since I bought it. I just got off the phone with Apple Support and will be sending it back for "repair". I am not hopeful at all that they can fix my problems.

I stream Spotify and Pandora. This speaker is only good if you plan to pay into Apple Music. You can stream audio to this device but not use voice controls with those applications... I returned this device for the Google Hub Max, and enjoyed the Hub so much I spent a good deal more integrating more Nest products(cameras,thermostat) for the same price it’s pretty obvious which is more exciting.

For the cost, I expected this to have some basic connectivity capabilities (as a TV speaker, etc.). The ecosystem is still far too narrow for me. I love that it protects your privacy far more than Alexa and other smart speakers, but its limited connectivity is a major negative. It went back the same week it arrived.

it is decent. I don't mind the apple eco system I just thing it should do more and be better. not the most ideal thing

Doesn’t work on all Wifi networks. beware when buying.

I thought that being an apple product, this would surprise me ... for the price, I thought I would have better sound quality

What a disappointment. Great sound but the device does not want to cooperate with AirPlay. All i wanted was to play music. It only wants to play music from the iCloud and Apple Music. This thing is geared toward making you an Apple music subscriber. Im a huge Apple fanboy. This HomePod is pure garbage. Buy a bluetooth speaker and forget this thing

I like the speaker but have trouble with connections quite often. When working it’s great when not very frustrating

I felt I am going back to the last century. Your online experience is horrible

I love gadgets and Apple doesn't always hit a homerun with its products. You can put this Apple HomePod in the " A Miss" category.

Only works with Apple Music. I just wanted a speaker that plays what my phone or tv is playing

The HomePod is alright. It doesn’t have all the desired compatibility with all of my smart home devices but it’s ok.

DO NOT BUY THESE SPEAKERS. THE APPLE CS TEAM SUCKS

Best Buy sell homekit products without deleting your data

I was surprised to find out that this speaker has a hardwired plug. It’s not portable. At all.

The HomePod doesn’t interact with SmartThings, it doesn’t allow direct access to SiriusXM. You must use Bluetooth. Apple wants you to use the subscription Apple Music. The sound is nice. It just is not as flexible as Amazon Alexa or Google Home for functionality. Better as speaker than either of those.
