### 2/5 — Could’ve been useful

*2026-07-06, version 9.3*

This app would be very handy if it weren’t for the greedy developers. Genuinely why should I pay for some toned-down version of my actual dashboard. Simply add the official dashboard as a web app and boom, no money wasted.

### 4/5 — Could be improved

*2026-01-27*

There are few key features that are missing from the app:

- Option to see add from the available list of block lists that one can otherwise see on the web portal

- I can’t click on a log inside “Live Log” screen to see the details of that particular query to unblock/block it.

### 4/5 — Does what it says it does

*2026-01-07, version 7.3*

Solid product that enables an easier mgmt. of adguard

### 4/5 — Great and easy interface

*2025-11-22*

Its handy and easy to use. But purchasing pro doesn’t shows in family sharing..!

### 4/5 — Vietnamese

*2025-10-29, version 7.1*

Please support Vietnamese

### 5/5 — Super App!

*2025-10-07, version 7.0.2*

Das ist meine erste Bewertung in einem App store überhaupt. 

Die Adguard home App macht einfach exakt das was sie soll. 
Vollständige Verwaltung mehrere Adguard Server in einer App. 
Sehr übersichtliche Darstellung aller Parameter.
Alle nötigen Einstellungen, welche nicht innerhalb cli erwartet werden, sind vollumfänglich möglich. 
Die App hat sich bisher noch nie aufgehongen oder ist abgestürzt. Sehr gute Arbeit! Brilliant

### 3/5 — Does everything except

*2025-10-05, version 7.0.1*

I cannot seem to be able to find where I can edit the custom upstream servers for an individual client

### 2/5 — Gli net Flint 3 Router

*2025-10-05, version 7.0.1*

Flint 3 Router Adguard Home integrieren bitte ohne username und Passwort

### 5/5 — Great app, finally no subscription

*2025-08-14, version 6.1.1*

This app is really amazing, well written and with a great UI/UX. To make it perfect, you can get the pro license as one time purchase and not as a yet-another monthly subscription (the sub model in other apps is totally out of control!). I was more than happy to pay the small price for the pro edition and if the updates will come I plan to support the dev with donations (if possible).

### 5/5 — AdGuard Home Remote mit AdGuard Docker

*2025-07-28, version 6.1.1*

Funktioniert einwandfrei mit dem AdGuard Docker auf meiner Synology NAS.  Die App ist klar strukturiert und zeigt alle wichtigen Informationen. Die Pro Version ist den Preis wert.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2025-07-18*

This app has been an absolute blessing. I am able to access nearly all AdGuard Home settings remotely from my phone with a clean, simple, and intuitive UI. I was at first skeptical to pay for the Pro service, but it was a must grab! Especially for only $6, and supporting the developers of this app is also a great benefit. Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Must have app

*2025-06-27, version 6.0.1*

Used the pi hole app for a long time, and had to buy this one since I switched to AGH. Truly a superb app and continually getting better

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2025-05-30, version 5.4*

Whats about making an app with Technitium dns? Pi hole app and adguard a awesome missing an app for technitium 😁

### 5/5 — Great App and service open source!

*2025-04-19, version 5.2.3*

Great App, love the open source service! Thank you!

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2026-04-04, version 8.1*

I bought the app years ago. Recent update removed live log features and now forces you to pay again to have access to it.

### 1/5 — Cost

*2026-04-01, version 8.0.1*

Now wants money for basic features. Your an app that uses an api to my own self hosted app. Deleted.

### 1/5 — buggy app

*2025-12-10, version 7.2.3*

it killed all my configs.. worst app i have experienced ever 😡

### 1/5 — buggy soft

*2025-12-10, version 7.2.3*

lots of bug. it killed my config

### 1/5 — Mit iOS 26.1 Problem

*2025-11-04, version 7.2*

Leider funktioniert die App mit den neuesten Versionen nicht mehr

### 1/5 — Tab switching freeze and no trail for pro features

*2025-07-04, version 6.1*

Tab switching freeze and no trail for pro features

### 1/5 — Didn’t work for me

*2025-03-19, version 5.2.2*

Can’t get it to work

### 1/5 — No login to AGH on GL-inet devices possible

*2024-05-18, version 4.4.1*

Since the last update. Reason is the static URL in the AGH instance configuration.

For GL-inet devices the login IP is:
192.xxx.xxx.xxx:3000/login.html

### 1/5 — Pointless junk

*2023-10-23*

As per everything I’ve used by this developer… useless drivel. Solves zero problems other than making the developer richer. Horrible and unintuitive design. They’ve even had my other reviews removed which probably tells you a lot.

Edit: of course a developer of this nature would think this is spam. Clearly you’re unable to accept any form of criticism and if it’s not a 5 star rating you apparently throw your toys out the cot. My suggestion would be to study UI/UX design. After that you should do a course in customer care and support.

**Developer response:** Hi, this is false, I never remove reviews. Furthermore, the app has many features unique to iOS, like widgets and Live Activities (which you can’t get in other apps). The design is very intuitive in my opinion, if you have any suggestions let me know. However, I think your review is spam and I’ve reported it to Apple. - Joost

### 5/5 — Лучшее приложение для AGH

*2026-07-18*

Просто лучшее приложение для AGH. Купил pro и очень доволен. Автору неимоверный респект

**Developer response:** Thank you! Glad you like it.

### 5/5 — Thoughtful, Powerful, and Beautifully Designed

*2026-06-26*

AdGuard Home Remote is exactly the kind of app I didn’t know I needed until I used it. Being able to control and manage AdGuard Home directly from my phone is incredibly convenient, and the app feels thoughtfully designed from top to bottom.
What really stands out is how much care the developer put into the experience. The app is not only functional and reliable, but also customizable, allowing users to adjust the look and feel in a way that makes it feel personal. I especially appreciate the Pride icon options. That may seem like a small touch, but it says a lot about the developer’s attention to detail and inclusiveness.
This is clearly an app made by someone who understands both the technical side and the user experience side. It makes managingo AdGuard Home easier, cleaner, and more enjoyable. Highly recommended

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words, I’m happy you like the app this much for you to leave such a kind review! 😊 - Joost

### 5/5 — This developer truly cares

*2026-06-16, version 9.2*

This is the best fully featured app to fully remotely manage your AdGuard home instances. One thing that is always impressive is the amount of updates and new features the developer implements and always with clear, transparent changelogs. Thank you for the constant updates and showing you truly care for the community.

### 5/5 — 👌

*2026-06-16*

Pretty good, one suggestion is to have a setting to have the screen always on during live view.

**Developer response:** Thanks! That’s a good suggestion, I’ll add it in the next update! - Joost

### 5/5 — What?!

*2026-05-09, version 9.0*

If you don’t have this yet (or the Pi-hole equivalent), what are you even doing?!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-04-22, version 8.1.2*

Thanks for old of the hard work :)

### 5/5 — Fantastic Product

*2026-01-05*

This is the best app for managing home instances I have ever used. I use many apps to control my PVE environment, my Portainer environment, etc. I have never come across such a clean, simple, and intuitive interface such as this app. I wanted to pay for the Pro upgrade as I believed it was a great deal for me and I got to support the team behind this app. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who uses AdGuard Home and want to control it from your mobile device.

### 5/5 — the experience

*2025-12-21, version 7.2.3*

pro:
+ very nice app ui 
+ easy to manage and access
con:
- every dns and the built-in web ui could replaced the pro ver

### 5/5 — Best app with wealthy functional.

*2025-11-02, version 7.1*

5 stars

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-10-18, version 7.0.2*

Works as expected. Saves having to manage in a browser or on PC.
