I'm really tired of 'companion apps' for IOT devices...

Every new thing that comes out, smart this smart that has a companion app. The apps are definitely of varying quality. Many are focused on looking sleek, and they function poorly, some just don't work, some are a pain to pair to the device, whatever it is - I just don't see this as a sustainable model for the future. I don't want 1000 new apps on my phone for 1000 different devices, of varying quality from ok, to crappy.

Ranting aside - what do we think is a future proof or forward thinking way to innovate and what are some directions to move in to solve this potential gap? Any takers?
