Still bad, spend your money somewhere else.

The review from six years ago still unfortunately remain to be correct. I have a Cloudflare DDNS that it does not update for at all. Cloudflare says that the token I gave for it has never been accessed whatsoever and when I press the update button the app crashes and send me to my home screen.

Works as advertised

Took me a while to work out what to do, but this is basically an app that replaces the dynamic update client of DDNS services for iPhones.

You need to set up the DDNS host names etc via your DDNS service provider and then enter the account details and then host details within the app so whatever IPv4 address your phone is using gets updated to the relevant host name(s).

Finds and uses wrong IP address

If I log into my remote server the welcome message shows the IP I'm logging in from. That's the IP I expected to be found and used by this app.

But, for reasons I don't understand, it finds and uses another, different IP.

Sadly I'll have to request a refund.

Abandoned

This app appears to have been abandoned by the developer. No activity on their twitter account in years. App has issues with iOS15.

Lost

This app does not do a great job in the instruction/tutorial category. I just purchased this app, after doing a lot of port forwarding, port triggering, static ip etc.. for my optimum 400 and my Xbox one x and iPhone. I have used all the google, cloudflare, open dsn, a bunch of different dsnโ€™s directly on my Xbox one x. I get varied results in the download upload and latency categories. I purchased this app thinking is would make things easier but ends up I have spend hours signing up for certain dns accounts because it turns out thatโ€™s is not as simple as entering my internet providers info, or inputting 1.1.1.1 - 1.0.0.1 or 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4 for example. I just canโ€™t get it working

Does What it Says

It does what it says on the tin. Interface is clunky and has some UI graphic errors to it, not meant to be opened a lot so I guess thatโ€™s ok. Kind of sorry I paid for it but then kind of not.

It works. Does exactly what it says it will do.

This app works and updates DynDNS effectively. If you require DynDNS to whitelist roaming knowledge workers to allow them to access network resources the this will do the job.

No response after you opened a ticket with your issue.

I recently used it for my Cloudflare account and the app failed to update DNS with dynamic IP. I opened a ticket on their support website but there was no response after three days.

No auto IP change

Wondering why it does not update my dyn IP simply when my IP changes. Who cares if I walked 500 meters or 173 meters. All I need is for the IP to be updated.

Now. If the app canโ€™t do this in the background I find it weird.

Needs update

With recent Apple update to 12, the app crashes. Please update.
