### 1/5 — Just a wrapper to the web app

*2025-01-10*

This is just a wrapper that links to a web app for BetterStack. It’s so annoying to have to switch to the web app whenever you want to see anything. I guess the company was too lazy to build an actual iOS app.

### 5/5 — Amazing app that get's the job done

*2023-02-08, version 1.0.4*

Works great as another channel for alerting from Better Uptime and also has critical alerts so it gets through even when I have my phone on silent.

### 5/5 — Loving it so far

*2023-01-31, version 1.0.4*

Works nicely

### 3/5 — Exists because of iOS Web App restrictions

*2022-08-18*

This app does not natively render your metric or status pages - it will direct you to the default browser for all of that.

That is totally acceptable as the web app is super nice.

The sole reason this app even exists is because Apple has thus far blocked web apps from sending push notifications.

This is changing in 2023, and as soon as native iOS push notifications are supported in the Better Uptime web app, I will uninstall this native app - provided there aren’t any native features added between now and then.

The developers should update the description of their app to be more accurate. Currently it describes their service, instead of what is actually possible within the app itself.

### 5/5 — Better Uptime is EXCELLENT

*2020-11-03*

Been a customer for a couple of months now, I just adore how the team is so passionate and how they keep developing and releasing new features on almost a weekly-basis!

The app is great, it does what it says, I’d wish we can control/manage our account from the app instead of opening the browser but I am pretty sure that they’ll improve this.

Keep up the wonderful work!!
