iPhone / Android interface

I've seen the Web-UI and was wondering whether there is any kind of iPhone or Android App to control the widget via smarthomeconnect?
BTW I love your approach of handling the house automation in pure python scripts. I have no need for local UIs etc. to maintain the system. I've been using openhab now for 10 years and I'm looking for a more adequate developer solution. smarthomeconnect looks very promising, great work 👍 But a smart phone interface is a must, especially for WAF 😄
I've always considered an Android app a possible supplement to SHC. Especially to implement native features, a web UI cannot provide, like battery-saving notifications from the background or home screen widgets.
Unfortunately, I currently don't see how an SHC app could become reality. SHC is currently a one-man-show, developed in my spare time, at least, when I find the time and motivation. And I don't have any experience in Android or iOS development. So I think, this will remain an unsolved feature, until someone else with thorough app development experience is interested enough in SHC to help out.
Ok I totally understand. I've seen some REST API Apps in the App store. Need to investigate whether they can be used. I will let you know once I know more.
Thanks for your feedback 😄
